Is BlueBet available in New Zealand? BlueBet NZ Review

Thanks to several sponsorship deals with NRL clubs, BlueBet has become a very visible online sports betting brand within the Australian regulated market. Since there is a sizeable audience of NRL fans in New Zealand that have likely become familar with the brand through their partnerships with The Dolphins and the Penrith Panthers, it is only natural that interested Kiwi sports bettors may be curious to know if BlueBet accepts players based in New Zealand. The answer to that is 'no,' BlueBet does not serve customers in New Zealand, they only serve the Australian market. 

While New Zealand laws permit its citizens to play at offshore gambling sites, BlueBet remains one of several Australian operators that has chosen to forego serving Kiwis.  If you are searching for this information in particular, you may wish to pause, take a beat and accept this as good news, as we explain why.  While BlueBet won't serve the New Zealand market, there are plenty of sportsbook brands within the Australian regime that will, but unfortunately, as a result of regulations, they all offer extremely limited gaming platforms compared to those available from other jurisdictions.

For example, Aussie brands are barred from offering live, in-play betting, barred from offering other kinds of games like online & live dealer casino games or poker rooms, and barred from offering new customer bonuses.  Lastly, brands based in Oz all only support AUD accounts, which forces New Zealanders into unnecessary, costly and hidden foreign exchange fees on every deposit or withdrawal.  We show you that you need not rely on the brands based across the Tasman sea.
