New Zealand opens EOI phase for 15 online casino licences with strict capital and probity criteria
New Zealand has opened expressions of interest for 15 online casino licences, requiring NZ$7.5m in capital and a NZ$19,000 fee by 14 August 2026, with a three-stage process leading to licence issuance in early 2027. The regime prioritises probity, harm minimisation, and a tight cap on operators, including a reinterpretation allowing TAB NZ to apply.
