New Zealand Gambling History

Gambling was introduced to Aotearoa by the colonists in the 18th century. New Zealand gambling

was mainly betting on card games and athletic events, until 1835 when horse racing was established.
With no regulation or harm minimisation strategies, gambling became prevalent and bookies took
advantage of this profitable activity. Bookies were banned from racing in 1910 so that bets could only be
placed on course, and made illegal in 1920.

Horse racing was the predominant form of gambling in New Zealand until the introduction of

casinos and electronic poker machines (pokies). Lotto was introduced in 1932 by a private organisation
that was regulated by the state. Originally relatively unpopular due to the small prizes offered, lotto was
little competition for horse racing. In 1950 the state established the New Zealand Racing Board (NZRB)
and opened Totalisator Agency Boards (TAB's) nationwide. The state also established their own lottery in
1961 to raise funds for community groups - Golden Kiwi. These prizes were four times larger than the
previous lottery, however the initial public interest faded quickly and racing remained most popular.

The late 1980's saw a variety of new legalised gambling being introduced, resulting in the

TAB losing their monopoly of the gambling industry. In 1987 the New Zealand Lotteries Commission
(Lotto NZ) was established, which took over Golden Kiwi and introduced weekly televised lotto draws. In
1989 Lotto NZ cancelled Kiwi Gold and introduced Instant Kiwi scratch cards. In 1988 electronic poker
machines (pokies) were legalised for use in RSA's, hotels, sports clubs and chartered clubs with the
purpose to raise more money for community groups. Pokies were approved in other entertainment
venues including pubs and bowling alleys from 1991. In 1989 casinos were made legal, resulting in six
casinos being opened from 1994 to 2002. With the sudden introduction of multiple and highly publicised
new gambling activities, the TAB were steadily losing punters. Even with the inclusion of dog racing in
1987 and sports betting in 1996, the percent of TAB gamblers dropped from 85% in 1987 to just 18% in
2000 (35% pokies, 26% casino, 21% lotto).

By the late 1990's it was apparent that this influx of new gambling activities was creating

harm that far outweighed the benefits of increased community funding. Regulations were in place to
make sure that activities were being operated appropriately and taxes and proceeds were being
distributed correctly, but there was very little focus on harm minimisation. A comprehensive review of
gambling in New Zealand was announced in 2000. As a result of the review and growing community
concerns around gambling harm, the Responsible Gambling Bill was introduced in 2002. The bill was
referred to the Government Administration Select Committee and public submissions were received to
help inform the committee's report. Renamed the Gambling Bill, it was passed in 2003 and became the
Gambling Act 2003. There was a separate act passed the same year to regulate the racing industry - the
Racing Act 2003.

The Gambling Act 2003 replaced the Gambling and Lotteries Act 1977 and the Casino

Control Act 1990. It regulates six classes of gambling (including pokies, casinos & lotteries) and has the
following purpose:

 Control the growth of gambling
 Prevent and minimise the harm caused by gambling, including problem gambling
 Authorise some gambling and prohibit the rest
 Facilitate responsible gambling
 Ensure the integrity and fairness of games
 Limit opportunities for crime or dishonesty associated with gambling
 Ensure that money from gambling benefits the community
 Facilitate community involvement in decisions about the provision of gambling

Some regulatory powers of the Gambling Act include restricting advertising, limiting

jackpots and prizes, defining unsuitable gambling venues, requiring access to appropriate harm
minimisation information, and requiring appropriate gambling harm minimisation training for gambling
venue employees.

There have been a variety of amendments to the Gambling Act since it was introduced, as a

result of effective public health projects, quality research and regular reviews. Some key amendments
include the addition of player information displays to pokie machines (2009), an increase in the
percentage of proceeds that are returned to the community (2014), and improved transparency of
corporate society processes (2004, 2014).

In accordance with the Gambling Act, a Six-Year Strategic Plan is developed by

the Ministry of Health (MoH) to provide a framework for the delivery of gambling harm minimisation
services and outline relationships with key stakeholders. The current plan (2010/11-2015/16) outlines 11
objectives identified by MoH for optimal service delivery outcomes and key progress indicators. The
current strategic plan can be viewed here.

There is also a Three-Year Service Plan that outlines the MoH budget for and

approach to funding and coordinating gambling harm minimisation services; including public health,
clinical intervention, research, evaluation and workforce development. The service plan links to the
strategic plan and advises the current gambling levy rates. The current service plan can be viewed here.

The Gambling Levy is a tax that is applied to all licensed gambling activities in New Zealand.

This levy is used to fund the development, management and delivery of an integrated problem gambling
strategy. Thus, gambling harm minimisation services are not funded by the general tax dollar, but by the
proceeds of the gambling activities (player expenditure).

Current levy rates: Pokies = 1.31% Casinos = 0.74% Racing = 0.60% Lottery = 0.30

Class 4 Gambling

Class 4 gambling covers the use of non-casino electronic poker machines (pokies). In New
Zealand, class 4 gambling has been established to raise money for community groups. As class 4 gambling
is high-risk, there are strict regulations that control issues such as who can gamble, where this type of
gambling can happen, how proceeds are distributed, and how communities can maintain control of the
gambling activities in their environments. Class 4 pokie machines are owned by corporate societies and
operated by gambling venues.

Corporate societies or trusts are set up for administration and grant-making purposes.
They own the machines and are responsible for:

 Making community grants for authorised purposes
 Maintaining transparency of grant-making decisions - including unsuccessful grants
 Providing gambling harm minimisation training and resources to venues
 Maintaining venue and operators licences

Gambling venues are the places that host the pokie machines - entertainment venues which
are mainly adult (R18) such as pubs, clubs and bowling alleys. Gambling cannot be the main function of
the venue, it is intended to be an additional entertainment option for sustainable adult venues. They
operate the machines and are responsible for:

 Customer services
 Machine operation (refilling hopper, clearing coin jams, processing credits, etc)
 Banking machine proceeds
 Gambling harm minimisation (staff must: have appropriate training, have problem gambling

information available for patrons and refuse machine use where necessary)
 Security - where appropriate

Corporate
Societies

Communities Pokie Venues

Class 4 gambling can only be approved for authorised purposes. When a trust applies

to set up a new venue, they must specify the purpose of any community funding generated. As the
purpose of class 4 gambling is to raise money for the community, authorised purposes must fall under
these categories:

 charitable purposes
 non-commercial purposes that have community benefits
 Promoting, controlling and conducting race meetings

The authorised purpose for pubs is usually to raise money for community groups and sports groups, and
the authorised purpose for clubs is usually to raise money for the club itself - facility maintenance,
charitable scholarships for club members, furthering non-commercial club aims, etc. If the authorised
purpose does not fit the criteria or if the DIA is not satisfied that the venue will operate with integrity and
minimise gambling harm, then the application will be rejected.

The minimum rate of return refers to the minimum share of pokie proceeds that

must be returned to the community via grants. After taxes and necessary running costs, all remaining
proceeds are required to be returned to the community. Historically the minimum rate was 37.12% of
GST exclusive net proceeds, however in 2014 it was decided that with all societies applying effective cost
management the rate can be increased to 42%. A staggered approach to the increased minimum rate has
been applied to allow all societies to adapt to the changes:

Financial Year Minimum Return
2015 40%
2016 40%
2017 41%
2018 41%
42%
2019 onwards

Distribution 2014 Venues can claim up to 16% of Distribution 2019
proceeds as reimbursement for
the costs of running the machines.

Societies Societies can claim up to 25.45% Societies

Communities administration functions. Communities

20% is taxed as duty, and 1.31% + Venues

Venues gambling levy.

Territorial authorities are the tier of local government below regional councils -

these are the city councils and district councils, often termed the 'local council'. Before a society can apply
for a venue licence, they must obtain territorial authority consent from their local council.

In order to facilitate community involvement in decisions about the provisions of gambling, the Gambling
Act 2003 requires territorial authorities to adopt a class 4 gambling policy and

review the policy every three years. Every local council has their own gambling policy, however they must
include the following elements:

The community must be consulted for each review and have the opportunity to participate in the policy
review via the submission process. This is how the community can have their say on how and where class
4 gambling activities are offered in their environments. In accordance with their community-consulted
gambling policy, a territorial authority can grant or decline consent for a venue to become established as
a gambling venue or increase their current number of pokie machines.

The Gambling Act 2003 restricts the maximum number of machines per venue
nation-wide, and the local gambling policies can enforce further restrictions in accordance with their
communities' needs.

 No more than 18 machines for venues established before 17 October 2001
 No more than 9 machines for venues established after 17 October 2001
 With Ministerial approval (Minister of Internal Affairs), new clubs can have up to 18 machines
 With Ministerial approval (Minister of Internal Affairs), merged clubs can have up to 30 machines

Competencies

A competency is the ability to apply the appropriate knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values to
a specific context. A set of competencies are developed to create a framework that defines the
knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that are required to be competent in a specific area. Competencies
can be used by kaimahi to guide their practice, managers to indicate performance and workforce
development plans, and organisations to inform position descriptions and training opportunities.

There are many different sets of competencies that have been developed to guide the practice of
a variety of disciplines. For gambling harm minimisation public health, there are three relevant sets of
competencies:

 Public Health Competencies 2007: a broad set of generic competencies developed by the Public
Health Association for use by all areas of public health

 Health Promotion Competencies 2011: a practice-based framework developed by the Health
Promotion Forum designed to complement and build upon the public health competencies -
aimed at health promoters, but also relevant to many areas of public health

 Gambling Sector Public Health Competencies 2015: a practice-specific set of competencies
developed by Te Kākano to guide this unique field of practice - designed to standardise the
frameworks used and enhance the practice of gambling harm minimisation public health
