New Zealand is opening its first regulated online casino market: just 15 licenses, EOI submissions from July 2026, and a December 1 cutoff after which unlicensed operators must stop serving NZ players. Penalties for non-compliance reach NZD $5 million. The bar is high: certified background checks and credit reports for every key officer with 20%+ influence, proof of capital, and a clean ownership history. For the DIA, compliance isn't a checkbox; it's evidence you can run the business cleanly for the full license term. Our new report with Gijima Tech covers the licensing timeline, what the DIA expects at each stage, and the KYC, AML, and age verification setup operators need before launch. 📩 Get your copy → https://lnkd.in/d3ee2Uyk
