NZ online casino operators with the right to apply

NZ online casino operators, for now, are eleven companies. They won the auction DIA held for up to 15 online casino gambling licences, and each of them now has to complete a full application.

The eleven NZ online casino operators on DIA's list

Gambling can lead to harm. Under 18s may not take part.

Who may apply for more than one licence

DIA gives a figure for three entities. Baytree Interactive Limited may apply for three licences, while Playvia Gaming (NZ) Limited and Rock Swift Group Limited may apply for two each. For the other eight the figure stays blank in the table.

An entity can be granted three licences at most in this process, and every licence covers a single brand together with the platforms players use for it.

Two names that stand out

SkyCity NZ Online NO1 Limited and SkyCity NZ Online NO2 Limited are separate entries on DIA's list, each with its own right to apply.

TAB New Zealand appears as well. It is the only provider allowed to run online racing and sports betting for customers in New Zealand, a rule in force since 28 June 2025 that sits outside the casino licences.

What is still unpublished

DIA lists companies and has published neither their brands nor any licence number, because no licence has been granted. Approved brands will go on a public register once licences are issued, which DIA expects to begin in early 2027.

When the register opens, an entry will show which brand holds a licence. Licensed casinos will also display a registration icon on their platforms and in their advertising.
