What are the major high street bookmakers in New Zealand called?
There are no (legal) bookmakers in New Zealand, so I’m afraid you’re out of luck on that score. All (legal) betting must be on the tote. Under section 12 of the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1977, bookmaking (outside of the TAB) in New Zealand is prohibited. Section 12 states: 12. Bookmaking prohibited — (1) Every person who acts as a bookmaker commits an offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months or a fine not exceeding $5,000. (2) Every person who acts as an agent for any other person in the course of that other person’s business as a bookmaker commits an offence and is liable to a fine not exceeding $2,000.
