Casino Affiliate Programmes in New Zealand
3 casino programmes in the TopStep Partners network accept players from New Zealand. Which of them you can promote depends on the local licensing rules and the channels you run.
The New Zealand market for affiliates
New Zealand is introducing a licensing regime for online casino gambling. Offshore play has not been an offence for the player, but operators have been barred from advertising in New Zealand, and legislation introduced in 2025 proposes a limited number of licences with the right to advertise reserved for licensed operators from 2026.
- The market is about to split into licensed brands that may advertise and offshore brands that may not. Position your content for the licensed side.
- Advertising restrictions bite marketers, not only operators. Watch the final regulations on what affiliates may publish.
- New Zealand traffic is small but high-value and English-language, and the licence cap will make licensed-brand affiliation sought after.
Correct at the time of writing; check the current rule with the regulator or platform named above. Not legal advice. Your deal terms take precedence.
