Yes but via an MGA (Malta Gaming) licence/partner so as not to violate current NZ law. Both Sky City and Christchurch do that at least. Edited 1 hour ago by curious Quote

Both Sky City and Christchurch do that at least. Ok. Never bothered to look at it before. Just started get ads for some reason. So what would stop the TAB getting a MGA license? Is the Government not going to allow ENTAIN to bid for a license? Quote
curious Posted 44 minutes ago Posted 44 minutes ago MGA won't be licensed for NZ once the new licences are in place. Entain could and probably will get one I'd say, but not as part of their relationship with TABNZ. Quote
