Rugby, league & cricket

Big fixtures are when betting offers multiply, and New Zealand’s calendar is built on rugby in winter and cricket in summer. This section looks at the three codes with promotions in mind.

The All Blacks and Super Rugby Pacific are the best known, with NRL and the Warriors, AFL and the Black Caps next. A heavy favourite is normally priced through line betting, otherwise known as a handicap.

The law behind section 74AAA is indifferent to where a game is played, so overseas fixtures fall inside it. Where a foreign firm wants to take bets on NZ events from customers in other countries, the national sporting organisation must permit it.
