BEST New Zealand ONLINE CASINOS

New Zealand has a law that forbids gambling on its soil, but fortunately enough none of them explicitly declare that online gambling is illegal, therefore online casino players are not affected by them. All the online casinos that we recommend and review for New Zealand players are safe and they don’t require for you to break any laws. The existing laws in New Zealand only regulate the status of gambling sites that are within the borders of the country.

No. New Zealand players are not required to pay taxes for their casino winnings. Winnings are taxable only for players that make online gambling their primary income - as sort of a primary occupation. Therefore, the vast majority of players are exempted from taxes.

As long as you are playing at a reputable online casino, then don’t hesitate about the casino software that you need to download in order to play the games on your computer. It’s true that it is important for the casino software to be provided by a reputable software provider, but as long as the casino has a good reputation you are safe. The point is that there are reputable online casinos that use their own proprietary software, so don’t get confused if you can’t recognise any of the games.

The New Zealand online casinos that we have reviewed and presented in their true light at our site employ firm security measures and encryption technologies that financial institutions use. This technology is the widely used SSL encryption certificate with which your confidential information is secured with up to 256-bit SSL encryption. However, if you want to play at other online casinos besides those at our site make sure that the casino has declared and displayed its security certificate so that you can be sure about your safety.

In 99% of cases online casinos offer most of their games to be played with fun/virtual money. This is in order for players to be able to see what they are getting into, to test the games for their fairness in first hand, and most of all, to be able to practice them so they can readily engage into real money play. The games offered in fun mode are the same ones as when you play for real money, so you can expect the same randomness and outcomes that you would get otherwise.

Certainly not, but only if the online casino doesn’t offer its games in instant play mode, which is extremely rare. It’s more likely that the casino will not make them available for download than for instant play. However, if you download and install the software you won’t have to open your browser each time you want to play at the casino, or to perform other functions.
