Bonuses & free bets
Free bets and boosted prices often arrive alongside a tip, and the arithmetic behind them is worth reading before any stake goes down. This section sets out what can be known.
Welcome offers, free bets, no-deposit bets, matched betting and the wider run of promotions are covered, TAB’s bonus bets being the local example. “Free sports betting” is looked at as a slogan.
Neither the size of a bet bonus nor its wagering terms is governed by any established New Zealand rule. The casino limit of NZ$100 and 200% applies to licensed online casinos and does not carry over. DIA describes the overseas companies behind offshore offers as breaking the law.
