Online Gambling in New Zealand: Public Discussion Document
Submissions closed Monday 30 September 2019
The Government is interested in knowing what is important to you when it comes to regulating online gambling in New Zealand.
We would also like to know more about how online gambling is affecting the lives of New Zealanders.
The current Gambling Act is from 2003. Back then, internet technology was still developing. Law makers couldn’t have foreseen the way that gambling would develop online 16 years on.
We need to update our laws for today’s digital world and future-proof them as much as possible.
How do I have my say?
