Best Football Betting Sites in New Zealand (2025)

Continuing on the foreign theme, Betway has strengthened its New Zealand product with some nice promotions and a great sportsbook. Although it isn't the most popular sport in the country, Betway has put a lot of thought and effort into the football section and with the nation's interest growing, they are ready to capitalise.

Those who sign up will have no issues locating the games they would like to bet on. The market depth is good, too, as the bookie tends to price up around 200 markets for the big games. Betway's bet builder, meanwhile, is not that pleasing to the eye but in terms of functionality, it works well.

The betting margin, at an average of 5.47%, is more or less identical to some that top betting sites offer and this means bettors won't have to worry about excessive fees being charged. Live streaming, on the other hand, is not always offered and this is something that Betway perhaps should improve.

What we like about the promotions section is that Betway keeps an eye on the current events, offering deals that - more often than not - resonate with the bettors. From odds boosts to an acca insurance and a pretty good welcome offer, most football bettors will not be disappointed if they decide to sign up.

Those who have played Casino games before will be very familiar with LeoVegas, as the bookie mainly focuses on that side of the business. However, using Kambi as the sportsbook provider, the sports offering is not too shabby either and it's no surprise that the bookie has become more popular in New Zealand and elsewhere.

The football section is indeed comprehensive, with almost all leagues available, and the market depth is pretty good too at around 150-200 markets. We have no complaints about the bet builder either, which is easy to use and with many markets as well. On the other hand, LeoVegas could definitely improve the overall design of the football section.

Having said this, it almost got a higher position on this list thanks to fantastic betting margins, as our test showed an average of 4.12%. This is about as low as it gets these days and is especially beneficial to those who place several bets with small winnings. It should be noted, however, that live streaming is not offered.

LeoVegas has a pretty good welcome offer for football enthusiasts to claim but there aren't many promotions for existing customers. A profit boost of up to 50% on accas is the only one and while it could come in handy, we definitely would have liked to see more from the bookie on this front.

Last but not least is the New Zealand-licensed betting site TAB, which most Kiwi bettors will be very familiar with already. Above all, we included the bookie as some bettors might feel more secure to bet with a licensed bookie rather than a foreign one. The football section is actually decent, though.

From prominent to smaller leagues, TAB offers it all and the market depth is also impressive, with around 200-300 markets for the big games. The bet builder has a nice layout and is easy to use, but we couldn't find the player card market during our test. This is a very popular market among bettors and not having it is a clear con.

We also tested the betting margin and it showed an average of 5.96%, which is good but not quite as low as the best sites on this list. While TAB earned a high position in our list of the top five horse racing bookies thanks to live streaming, this is not the case for football as the streaming is very limited.

On the promotions front, TAB has a good welcome offer and there is also an acca insurance for existing customers. However, the bookie could do more on this front and in order to compete with the best sites, it will have to.
