The Internal Affairs Department controls all gambling activities in NZ. Every public gambling venture is required to reinvest a part of its profits back in the community. State-owned ventures take up the lion’s share of the New Zealand gambling industry. Losses faced by players (Gambling expenditure) were projected at around NZ$2.034B (a per capita expenditure of NZ$480) in 2008, which was a 10x increase compared to 1985 figures.
