New Zealand Says No to Online Poker

In the near future New Zealanders will be able to buy their lottery tickets online, which many poker players find ironic considering they are not legally allowed to play online poker. While Rick Barker, New Zealand’s Internal Affairs Minister, has yet to make the changes in lotto needed to allow online purchases of tickets, Parliament has already decided that New Zealand Lotteries can sell online tickets, which makes it only a matter of time before the products are available. According to the Lotteries Commission, the Saturday Lotto, Big Wednesday and Daily Keno tickets will soon be available.
