Legal proceedings have been initiated in New Zealand's High Court against bet365, Super Group, and Skycity, targeting their online gambling operations offered to New Zealand residents. The cases, filed in Auckland, involve claims for restitution and challenge the legality of these operators' activities under New Zealand law. Skycity's class-action lawsuit, covering player losses from February 2020 to 2026, seeks to test the legality of its online gaming operations managed by Silvereye Entertainment Limited, a Malta-based subsidiary. Skycity has denied liability and plans to defend the case, which could involve at least NZ$64.5 million in online revenue. Bet365 has contested the jurisdiction of New Zealand courts, while Super Group faces claims involving its CEO and several corporate entities. These actions follow amendments to the Racing Industry Act 2020, which restrict offshore gambling operations, and precede the Online Casino Gambling Bill's implementation. All three companies have expressed interest in obtaining New Zealand licenses, complicating their legal challenges as they seek regulated market access.
