Yes, internet-based gaming activities are fully-legal in New Zealand. The law is very clear about this. As long as you are of legal gambling age, you can play at any internet gambling venue outside New Zealand.

The legal gambling age in New Zealand is 20. This limit applies to both land-based and online gambling. If you are not of legal age and are caught trespassing at a land-based casino, you can be fined up to 500 NZD and be barred from the venue for up to two years. This limit does not apply to lotteries. The legal age for purchasing a lottery ticket in New Zealand is 18.

According to the current tax policy of Inland Revenue, gambling is classified as a recreational activity rather than an income-gaining one. It means that, in most cases, Kiwis do not have to pay income tax on their online and offline gambling winnings.
The sole exception to this is professional gambling. If most of your yearly revenue comes from gaming activities, then Inland Revenue might label you a professional gambler. In this case, you must pay income tax on your winnings.
