New Zealand DIA — Online Casino Licence Requirements 2026

Preliminary scoping guide to the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026

New Zealand passed the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 (Royal Assent 27 April 2026, in force 1 May 2026), creating a tightly-capped online casino licensing regime — up to 15 licences awarded via ascending-clock auction with a 3-licence per-group cap. The 16% Offshore Gambling Duty stacks with 1.24% Problem Gambling Levy and 15% GST. Affiliate marketing is prohibited — a structural divergence from UKGC, MGA and AGCO. Preliminary scoping guide for operators planning a NZ market-entry bid.

About GamingCompliance.io
Frequently asked

About the reports

Are these reports free?
Yes. Every report on this page is free to download with no email gate. Take what you need, share with your team. We may add an optional email-capture (with a clear "just download" path) in a later release; for now, click and read.
How often are the reports updated?
When a regulator publishes a material change, the corresponding cornerstone article is updated within days. The PDF is regenerated from the article on a quarterly cadence or whenever a structural change lands (new section, major fee change, new comparison column). Each PDF carries an "Edition" marker so you know which version you have.
Who writes these?
Every report is drafted from primary regulator publications (statute texts on legislation.gov.uk, ordenacionjuego.es, legislation.mt, lawphil.net etc.), regulator-issued guidance and fee schedules, and Big-4 / law-firm tax briefings. Numbers are verified against the source; every figure has an inline citation. See the resources page in any PDF for the full source list.
Can I cite these in client work or internal briefings?
Yes. The reports are intended for compliance professionals, operator legal teams, tax advisors and journalists. Attribution is appreciated but not required for fair quoting. For verbatim reproduction at length, please link back to the GamingCompliance.io cornerstone the PDF was built from.
What's the difference between the PDF and the web cornerstone?
Same content, two surfaces. The cornerstone article (linked from each card as "Read on web") is the canonical version with live cross-links, JSON-LD for search engines, and the latest dataset. The PDF is a snapshot — useful for offline review, client meetings, archival, or sharing without an internet connection.
Which report should I read first?
It depends on which decision you're weighing. Choosing between EU markets? UKGC vs MGA. Looking at moving from a Curaçao licence to MGA (or vice versa)? MGA vs Curaçao GCB. Operator deciding North American entry? UKGC vs AGCO. Launching in Latin America? LATAM Big 4. Planning the Alberta launch on 13 July 2026? AGCO vs AGLC. Affiliate-strategy focused? France vs Spain.
Will there be more reports?
Yes — new reports ship whenever a new comparison cornerstone goes live on the site. Italy ADM, Romania ONJN and a 3-way EU "hub decision" (UKGC vs MGA vs DGOJ) are on the production queue. Bookmark this page or subscribe to the digest (coming) for new-report notifications.
