[Introduction]: With the advance of mobile and digital technology, we can gamble almost anywhere. The percentage of New Zealanders gambling online is increasing. This report presents results from the 2018 Health and Lifestyles Survey (HLS). It focuses on the profile of online gamblers and the types of online gambling in which they participated.
We compared findings against the previous surveys’ findings where possible. Online gamblers are those who gambled over the internet on New Zealand hosted websites and apps (domestic), or on overseas hosted websites, in the last 12 months.
