Which Betting Site is the Best? New Zealand Betting Expert Shares Industry Secrets

For New Zealanders who are on the hunt for the best odds or the best sports betting experience, it’s difficult to know which sports betting sites are actually the best. Should you bet with New Zealand’s trusty TAB, or will you find more sports betting markets and better betting features with one of the big global bookmakers like Bet365 or Betway? We spoke to Kiwi betting expert, Mason Kelliher, who runs My Betting Sites NZ, a website that compares all of New Zealand’s best betting sites. He shared his inside knowledge and gave us his expert opinions on which betting sites are the best.

The Best Betting Site: Bet365

“In my opinion, the best betting site in New Zealand is Bet365. Bet365 is the biggest bookmaker in the world with more than 45 million punters betting on over 35 different sports around the world each day. In New Zealand, Bet365 gives new bettors up to $100 in sign-up bonus bets, plus tons of additional money-back and odds boost promotions. Bet365 is also the best betting site for live-streaming and live betting in New Zealand with hundreds of football, tennis, basketball, rugby and cricket streams available online every day. What is more, Bet365 consistently has the best odds for top sports leagues like the Premier League, Champions League, NRL, Super Rugby and the NBA.”

The Next Best Betting Site: Betway

“Betway is a no-nonsense betting site that competes with Bet365 at almost every level. If you don’t find the best odds on Bet365 then your next best bet is Betway which is especially competitive for football and rugby betting. Betway has some generous promotions for New Zealanders and instead of bet credits, they prefer to give out free bets. Upon sign-up, New Zealanders can get up to $60 in free bets while existing customers can join the Betway Free Bet Club and receive $10 in free bets every week for betting just $25 of their own money. Betway also has a top-notch live betting platform with tons of statistics and of course live-streaming options to help you make informed bets. With the Betway #BetyourWay feature, you can build your own bets, and the Betway Boost option gives you increased winnings on your selections.”

The Best Betting App: LeoVegas

“LeoVegas is a younger betting site than Bet365 and Betway and as such, they entered the betting market with a slightly different focus – a ‘mobile-first’ approach. LeoVegas’ website is optimized for mobile and their mobile betting apps shine above their competitors. LeoVegas’ Android and Apple betting apps are free to download and they are easy to navigate, fun to use and quick to load. Not only do the LeoVegas betting apps function well but LeoVegas’ odds are competitive, especially for American sports like the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL. LeoVegas also began as a casino which means that they treat their sports betting customers to tons of promotions and free bets. Mobile betting is growing in popularity in New Zealand, and around the world, every year and LeoVegas is the betting site that is catering to this growing market the best.”

The Betting Site to Avoid: TAB NZ

“Kiwis may be surprised to hear this but in my opinion, the TAB NZ is a betting site that you probably want to avoid. While the TAB has been offering sports betting to New Zealanders for longer than any of the other international betting sites I have mentioned, they just can’t compete with the odds and promotions that other betting sites offer. This is probably because their customer base is smaller, so they don’t have the same ability to offer low odds and generous promotions. Another thing is that every betting site on My Betting Sites NZ has more betting markets available than the TAB NZ does. This means that there are more sports to bet on at Bet365 or Betway for example, but also that there are more bets you can place within each sport. If you’re concerned about the safety, legality or currency used on betting sites that aren’t the TAB NZ, don’t be, all of the bookmakers on My Betting Sites NZ are licensed, accept New Zealand dollars and are legal to use in New Zealand.”
