Football

Most New Zealand punters meet football through a screen at odd hours, and that distance decides what gets bet on. The section therefore begins with the competitions followed from afar.

Champions League nights and the Premier League sit at the front, then the World Cup and MLS, while FIFA and football tips stand as side topics. Prices are written as decimals, 2.10 for instance.

Where a game is played changes nothing in law: the prohibition reaches a fixture in London just as it reaches one in Auckland. TAB NZ is the lawful provider, and appearing in a ranking confers no licence.
