The difference between Australian online gamblers and NZ online gamblers

Australian online betting market is considered among the largest within the Asia-Pacific region as well as worldwide. However, the quieter New Zealand is also catching up rapidly, and they are on track to become a vast global industry player.

Australia is a liberal country where almost all forms of gambling are considered legal. Although there are several restrictions on what operators can offer, most gambling options are allowed in the country. While gamblers are free to play online pokies on offshore websites, betting companies within the state cannot offer these games.

On the other hand, New Zealand laws don’t allow gambling websites to operate within its boundaries. Kiwi players can only access online casino games from offshore websites., and gaming is highly regulated. That aside, there are differences between Aussie and Kiwi online gamblers, as you’ll see below.

Popular Casino Games

When it comes to choosing games from online casinos, Australian gamblers prefer betting on sports and racing. These are followed closely by poker and lotteries. Aussie online gamblers place over 80% of sports and racing bets. Pokies are not popular as there are no legally authorized online slots options in the country.

On the other hand, the most popular online casino game in New Zealand is pokies. Kiwis love betting on pokies online as they are easy to play and don’t require any experience. Another thing that makes pokies popular is the massive progressive jackpots that come with some titles.

The Most Sought-After Feature

Australian online gamblers choose betting sites based primarily on their competitive offering. The other features they look for include the site’s reputation and the variety of betting options. While most of these players prefer locally licensed sites, some are concerned about the safety of their funds on internationally licensed casinos.

When it comes to Kiwis online gamblers, they are obsessed with fast payout and instant withdrawal casinos. The obsession could be fueled by their love of playing online pokies, some of which come with huge jackpots. Who would want a casino to delay their payments, which could amount to millions of dollars?

The Percentage of Gamblers

The most significant percentage of Australian online gamblers is men. It is estimated that more than 90% of online gamblers in the country are men while only around 20% of women indulge in the activity.

The trend is different on the other side as there are the same numbers of men bettors as women in New Zealand. The statistics show how popular betting is in both countries. Both Kiwis and Aussies consider gambling an excellent pastime activity, whether for fun or earning an extra income. The popularity in New Zealand could be a result of the tax rules as the government does not tax gamblers’ winnings.

Royal Baby Name Betting

Aussies are known to bet on virtually anything. With online casino gambling on the rise in the country, there is a new craze among gamblers. Betting on royal baby names has remained a popular diversion among many Aussie online gamblers. When it comes to considering the direct line to the throne, it has never been a bad idea to focus on Norman names.

The royal baby name betting craze has not yet caught up with New Zealand online gamblers. Whether it’s just a matter of time or not, Kiwis remain hooked to playing pokies and other popular online casino games.

In Conclusion

With so much going on in the online gambling industry, some things are likely to remain constant. It might take some time to change the differences between Aussie and Kiwi’s online gamblers’ trends. However, that is what makes the whole experience more exciting. If everyone loved the same things, things would get boring in the long run. The only thing that both these countries agree on is that they want to have the best betting experience on the online casinos.

It is the task of gaming platforms to ensure that they deliver an unparalleled betting experience to their players. After all, striking gold has never sounded wrong.
