New Zealand’s proposed Online Casino Bill is facing strong criticism in parliament. Concerns center on the removal of advertising restrictions, which critics say could lead to an influx of promotions such as push notifications and bonus inducements that target vulnerable players. Community groups argue the changes may reduce funding from pokies revenue, which currently supports local initiatives. Organizations like Pub Charity and the Problem Gambling Foundation warn that aggressive marketing will worsen gambling harm. Although the bill seeks to license up to 15 operators and block offshore sites, debates over transparency, fairness, and consumer protection remain unresolved.
