Bonuses & free bets
Match-day promotions are loud, and the rules behind them are quiet. This section sorts what the law states from what the provider’s terms state.
Sign-up offers, free bets, no-deposit bets and matched betting are discussed, together with promotions in general; TAB’s own bonus bets are one example, and “free sports betting” is handled as a marketing phrase.
Nothing establishes a New Zealand limit on bet-bonus size or on wagering terms; the casino ceiling of NZ$100 and 200% concerns licensed online casinos only. Whoever makes an offshore offer is, in DIA’s words, a company breaking the law.
