About Casino Near Me

Casino Near Me is a directory of every licensed gambling venue in New Zealand. It lists the six licensed casinos governed by Part 3 of the Gambling Act 2003 alongside every Class 4 pokie venue on the Department of Internal Affairs register — roughly 960 pubs and clubs at last refresh.

Why This Site Exists

The DIA publishes the Class 4 register as a quarterly XLSX file. It’s authoritative but not searchable — you can’t type in a town name and get the venues near you. Casino Near Me exists to turn that register into a directory a human can actually use: search by suburb, sort by machine count, see addresses, jackpot counts, and operator details on every venue.

What We Commit To

1. Every venue is sourced from the DIA register. If a venue isn’t on the quarterly list, it isn’t on this site.
2. We refresh with the DIA’s schedule — the register updates 31 March, 30 June, 30 September, and 31 December each year, and the site reconciles within a few weeks of each release.
3. No affiliate deals. This is a static reference directory, not a comparison site. We link to the DIA and each venue’s own public-facing information. We don’t take commissions from casinos or pokies operators.
4. Responsible gambling is promoted on every page — the Gambling Helpline (0800 654 655) is always one click away.

Editorial Team

The editorial team is introduced in detail on the editorial process page. Every venue entry and every article is signed off against the DIA register before it’s published.
