Ten Pacific markets carry a figure, and New Zealand carries none

Zero is the New Zealand figure across all 38 territory documents this index has opened. The ten other Pacific markets on the site score between eight and fifteen, Australia among them at thirteen.

Eleven Pacific markets, ten figures

Thirty-eight territory documents came into this index on 26 August 2026, each worked through line by line. New Zealand turns up in none. Ten further Oceania markets were tallied against the same set, and the lowest of the ten still reaches eight.

New Caledonia and French Polynesia head the region on fifteen. Guam and Australia share thirteen. Fiji arrives at ten, Vanuatu and Samoa at nine apiece, and Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Tonga at eight each. New Zealand is the eleventh entry in that column and the only one arriving empty.

The thirteen that write Australia in

The Tasman comparison is the one most readers will reach for, and the gap between the two sides is the widest in the region.

Thirteen documents print Australia. Every one of the thirteen was also read for New Zealand in the same sitting, and the New Zealand line is absent from each. The list holds Cloudbet, Rainbet, Rocketpot, Shuffle, Sportsbet.io, Wild.io, Windice, DuckDice, Wolf.bet, Crashino, JacksClub, Empire.io and Instant Casino.

Two details inside that group sharpen the point. Cloudbet's clause runs to two entries in total, Belgium and Australia, which makes Australia one of exactly two markets that operator wrote down; New Zealand sits outside a document with two lines in it. Rainbet and Windice, separately, file clauses of identical length covering the same eight markets — Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia — and both stop at the Tasman.

Length works against the reading here

The seven biggest clauses in this library run from 95 entries up to 105, measured against the 122 markets on the site. They sweep up Pacific territories whose populations run to five figures, several of the Oceania entries above among them.

New Zealand stays out of all seven. A clause that names 105 markets has room for almost anything a drafter might want to include, so brevity offers no account of the gap, and none of the seven carries a note explaining it. The reading records what the pages say and leaves the reason alone.

Seven markets at zero across the index

Seven of the 122 markets counted here finished the pass without a figure, and New Zealand is the only Oceania entry among the seven. Canada is another, and its own neighbour is named in thirty-two of the same thirty-eight. Ireland is a third, sitting beside a market on twenty-nine.

A pattern runs through all three: each of them shares a border or a sea crossing with a market that scores heavily, and each of them scores nothing. What produced that arrangement is invisible from the documents, which say what they say and explain nothing.

What each operator publishes about itself: the company named on the licence, the permit number and where it was read, how many countries the operator excludes in its own terms, and when identity documents are demanded. The country count is the length of a list the operator published, not our estimate of where it will accept you. An empty cell means the document was not read — it is not a zero, and it is not a permission.

Two kinds of empty cell

For sixty-two brands the territory clause was never retrieved: terms had shifted address, a sign-in stood in the way, or no usable capture survived. Those rows print blank in the table above.

Blank and zero sit side by side and carry opposite meanings. Zero is the result of opening thirty-eight documents and finding the country in none. Blank is the result of a document nobody here has read yet. Either one read as consent would hand an operator a promise it has not made, which is the single most common way a table like this gets misused. The reading standard sets out what moves a brand from the third group into the first.

What a count of zero leaves untouched

Every figure here came from published contract wording, and published wording is the thin layer of the arrangement. Beneath it, payment providers apply conditions that appear in nothing a reader can open, regional editions of one agreement drift apart from each other, and verification stays with the operator as a judgement exercised at sign-up or at payout. Those parts are unpublished, so the count passes over them rather than guessing.

Clauses also age. A brand redrafts its territory list when licensing or banking shifts and posts the new text quietly, which is why each entry on this site carries the date it was read and the way it was retrieved.

Contract wording, and New Zealand statute

New Zealand law is written and administered elsewhere, by bodies with their own publications and their own timetable, and this page reports on neither. A refusal set out in terms of business can sound like an official position while reaching only the customer who accepted those terms, and the silence of such a document works the same way in reverse: it binds nothing and announces nothing.

The country index holds the whole range, from the thirty-two at the top of the reading down to the seven that finished at zero.

Questions people actually type

How many operators name New Zealand in their own territory clause?

Not one of the thirty-eight dated 26 August 2026. Every document was worked through line by line and the New Zealand entry failed to surface. Sixty-two further brands in the library of a hundred hold a clause that was never retrieved, and nothing is recorded against those.

Why does Australia show thirteen and New Zealand nothing?

The two counts came out of one pass over the same thirty-eight documents. Thirteen of them write Australia into the clause and each of the thirteen passes over New Zealand. The documents give no reason, and this page supplies none.

How do the other Pacific entries compare?

Eleven markets in Oceania are counted here. New Caledonia and French Polynesia lead on fifteen, Australia and Guam follow on thirteen, Fiji is on ten, Vanuatu and Samoa on nine, and Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Tonga on eight apiece. New Zealand is the only one of the eleven without a figure.

Is this a statement about New Zealand law?

It is a statement about contract text. A territory clause is drafted by an operator, covers that operator's own dealings, and is redrafted on commercial grounds. New Zealand statute and the department that administers it publish separately, and readers with a legal question should take it to those sources.
