Poll: Do you think an online casino is a good idea?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Three of the country’s gambling trusts have launched an online casino and sports betting website targeted at Kiwi punters - a move which has stunned anti-gambling advocates.

The New Zealand Community Trust, The Lion Foundation and Aotearoa Gaming Trust have formed an online casino joint venture they say will “protect and grow the essential community funding they provide nationwide in New Zealand”.
