New Zealand (Oceania)

New Zealand passed the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 on 23 April 2026 (Royal Assent 27 April 2026, in force 1 May 2026), creating a tightly-capped online casino licensing regime — up to 15 licences awarded via ascending-clock auction with a 3-licence per-group cap. Offshore Gambling Duty was raised from 12% to 16% with 4 percentage points ring-fenced for community returns. DIA is the supervisor; operational regulations (fees, trust accounts, game certification, self-exclusion architecture, advertising detail) are due progressively mid-2026 to December 2027. Affiliate marketing is prohibited — a structural divergence from UKGC, MGA and AGCO regimes.

How this works

Three ideas.
One living index.

We built this because the people who actually need to read gambling regulation, operators, counsel, compliance teams, suppliers, auditors, are still reading it as scanned PDFs, dense HTML pages, and thousand-page consultations. That is a solved problem. Here is the solution.

Authoritative, not editorialised

Every standard is an editorial plain-English summary of the regulator's own published rule, cross-checked against the primary source. The site is a navigation surface over the regulation, not a substitute for it. Use it to find the rule, then read the original before filing, launching, or advising.

Citation back to the regulator's document and clause number on every card.
Source URL and compilation date surfaced on the jurisdiction's explorer page where published.
Automated hash-diff monitor sweeps regulator sources on a 14-day cycle; detected changes are logged at /sources/.

Tagged by what actually matters

Five editorial tags cut across every framework, so a question like "what must we show before a first deposit" returns the answer in AGCO, UKGC, MGA, and NJ in one view.

Responsible gaming
Affiliate rules
Player rights
Bonus & ads
Game design

Deep-linkable, forever

Every standard carries its own permanent URL anchor. Drop a link into a memo, a ticket, a regulator response, or a board paper, and whoever opens it lands on exactly that clause, with surrounding context already loaded.

Filter state persists in the URL, sharable with a single copy.
Keyboard-first search: press / from anywhere on a jurisdiction page.
No login, no paywall, no tracking beyond anonymous aggregate counts.

Who it is for

Licensing & compliance teams at operators and suppliers, in-house counsel and outside regulatory lawyers, payments and RG vendors evaluating market fit, auditors preparing gap assessments, and journalists or researchers who want a primary-source answer in ten seconds instead of ten hours.

How it stays current

Each jurisdiction ships with its source version and last-reviewed date. When a regulator issues a new consultation response, directive, or standards amendment, the index is rebuilt against the updated source and a dated changelog entry is published alongside it.

What it is not

This is not a compliance management platform, a policy engine, or a substitute for qualified counsel. It is a navigable, plain-English reading surface over what the regulator already says, nothing more and nothing less.

Not legal advice. Always verify against the primary source before relying on any summary for a regulated filing, a licence application, or a product launch decision.
