Football
Football promotions arrive with a European or American kick-off time, because the New Zealand audience watches from a distance. This section looks at the competitions behind those offers.
The Premier League and the Champions League lead, MLS and the World Cup come after, and FIFA and football tips each get their own topic. Odds are shown as decimals, such as 2.10.
For the ban on offering betting to people in New Zealand the venue is irrelevant, so a fixture abroad is on the same footing as one at home. TAB NZ is the lawful provider. No ranking position works as a licence.
