About Gambling in Northland

By Tim Jensen · Senior Venue Researcher · Last reviewed April 2026

Northland has no licensed casino. It hosts 39 DIA-licensed pokie venues across Whangārei, Kaitaia, Kerikeri, Kawakawa, and smaller Te Tai Tokerau towns, running a combined ~560 pokies machines under the Gambling Act 2003. Whangārei is the dominant hub, with the balance spread across the Bay of Islands, Far North, and Kaipara districts.

Is There a Licensed Casino in the Northland Region?

No. Northland residents and visitors travel to SkyCity Auckland for the nearest licensed casino — roughly a 2-hour drive south from Whangārei. The Gambling Act 2003 caps national casino licences at six and none sit in Northland. The region’s DIA-licensed venues are all Class 4 pokie venues hosted in pubs, clubs, and licensed hospitality premises.

Which Cities in Northland Have Pokie Venues?

Whangārei holds the largest concentration with 7 pokie venues across the CBD, Onerahi, and Kensington. Kaitaia in the Far North has 3 venues, and Kerikeri, Kawakawa, and Paihia each carry 1 to 2. The balance of the region’s 39 venues sits across smaller Northland towns including Dargaville, Mangawhai, and Kaikohe. Full per-city detail is on each city directory page.

Licensing and Regulation in Northland

All 39 pokie venues in Northland operate under Class 4 licences issued by the Department of Internal Affairs under the Gambling Act 2003. Territorial consents sit with Whangārei District Council, Far North District Council, and Kaipara District Council. Each runs its own Class 4 venue policy, with Whangārei maintaining a sinking-lid approach to new licences. The $2.50 per-spin stake cap and 18-machine-per-venue cap apply across every licensed venue.

Play Responsibly in Northland

If gambling is affecting you or someone close to you in Northland, call the Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655 — free, confidential, and available 24/7. The Problem Gambling Foundation runs community outreach across Northland including Whangārei, Kaitaia, and the Bay of Islands, and delivers Māori-specific harm-reduction programmes in partnership with iwi providers. Every licensed pokie venue must display Gambling Helpline signage on the gaming floor and support single-venue self-exclusion on request. See responsible gambling for the full list.
