Three of the country’s gambling trusts have launched an online casino and sports betting website targeted at Kiwi punters - a move which has stunned anti-gambling advocates.
The New Zealand Community Trust, The Lion Foundation and Aotearoa Gaming Trust have formed an online casino joint venture they say will “protect and grow the essential community funding they provide nationwide in New Zealand”.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

Hundreds of Waikato children are not being properly strapped into cars, and police recently saw the effects in a crash where one became “a missile”.
Over the past three years, police found 1444 children being driven in Waikato with the incorrect restraints. That’s the second worst behind Auckland, showing the old adage of making it click is not clicking.
