What betting markets will TAB NZ offer for the 2026 World Cup?

TAB NZ is expected to offer the widest range of football betting markets in its history for the 2026 tournament. This includes outright winner, group winner, top goalscorer, head-to-head match results, draw no bet, Asian handicaps, over/under goals, correct score, first goalscorer, player props, and multi-bet options across all 104 fixtures. Live in-play betting will also be available during matches.

Are World Cup betting winnings taxed in New Zealand?

No. Under current New Zealand tax law, winnings from sports betting — including World Cup wagers placed through TAB NZ — are not subject to income tax. This applies regardless of the amount won or the number of bets placed.

When do the All Whites play at the 2026 World Cup in NZ time?

Iran vs New Zealand on 16 June at 1:00 p.m. NZT (SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles), New Zealand vs Egypt on 22 June at 1:00 p.m. NZT (BC Place, Vancouver), and New Zealand vs Belgium on 27 June at 3:00 p.m. NZT (BC Place, Vancouver). All three matches fall during the NZ afternoon.

Can I use an offshore bookmaker to bet on the World Cup from New Zealand?

No. Since 28 June 2025, the Racing Industry Act 2020 amendments have explicitly banned offshore sports betting operators from serving New Zealand residents. TAB NZ is the only legal platform for placing sports bets in New Zealand.

What are the best value bets for Kiwi punters at the 2026 World Cup?

Value sits primarily in group-stage markets rather than outright bets. The 48-team format creates more mismatches and unfamiliar fixtures. Watch for draw bets in group openers, qualification bets on third-placed teams, and correct score markets in fixtures with clear quality gaps.

How do decimal odds work on TAB NZ?

Decimal odds show your total return per dollar staked, including the stake itself. If a team is priced at 2.50, a $10 bet returns $25 (profit of $15). The calculation is: stake multiplied by odds equals total return. To find implied probability, divide 1 by the odds.
