About and Methodology
See how we research foreign and international casinos, check who runs them and record what changes for New Zealand readers.
Table of contents
CasinosAbroad.com explains how casinos based outside New Zealand work for readers in Aotearoa. We cover international, overseas and neighbouring-country brands, and we focus on the details that change when a casino is run from another country. Every finding we publish points to a record you can check yourself.
What we cover
Our guides look at casinos operated from other countries, including those run from Australia, the Pacific region, Europe and further afield. For each brand we report who operates it, where it is based, which currency and payment methods it supports, and how withdrawals are handled. Where tax is relevant, we explain the general position and point to official guidance rather than giving personal tax advice.
How we research a casino
We start with the legal entity named in the casino’s terms and conditions. We then check public company records, the relevant regulator’s register in the country where the operator is based, and the operator’s own notices about transfers, rebrands or closures.
We record the operating company separately from its parent group and from any shared software provider. Where a record only supports a past arrangement, we give the date or period it applies to.
What we check for account questions
For deposits, withdrawals, identity checks and customer support, we use the casino’s own terms and help pages. When we quote a withdrawal time, we say whether it covers the operator’s processing, the payment provider’s transfer time or both. Published service times are attributed to the operator, not presented as our promise.
New Zealand rules we keep in view
The Online Casino Gambling Act is now in force. From 1 December 2026, only a limited group of operators approved by the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) may offer online casino gambling to people in New Zealand, and the DIA plans to publish a public register of licensed online casinos. We check our listings against that register as it becomes available. DIA information for players
Sources and updates
We cite the records behind each finding and show the date we checked them. Where sources conflict or a detail cannot be confirmed, we say what we can establish and mark the rest as unconfirmed.
