Football
Most football reaches New Zealand by screen, from the other side of the world, and it is bet on in the same way. This section looks at the games punters follow from afar.
The Premier League and the Champions League head the list, then the World Cup and MLS; FIFA games and football tips are handled as topics of their own. Prices are decimal, 2.10 for example.
London or Auckland makes no difference to the legal position: the section 74AAA ban applies wherever the match is played. TAB NZ is the sole lawful provider, and being placed in a ranking confers no licence.
