Message from our Gambling Director

Kia ora koutou,

I hope that you've all had a well-earned rest over the holiday period and a wonderful summer. 

As I mentioned at the end of 2020, the Gambling Group has been working on our strategic direction as a regulator. As a regulator, our purpose is to deliver community wellbeing through reducing gambling related harms. The Strategic Direction prioritises harm minimisation (not just problem gambling). This includes viewing community benefit and integrity through this lens.

This Strategic Direction will ensure we are well-positioned to respond to new opportunities and developments, such as online gambling. The Group will collaborate with the gambling sector and system stakeholders, focussing on communities most impacted. We will take a system approach to maximise resources and work collaboratively towards shared outcomes - with a focus on gambling related harms. 

Have a look below to learn more. 

Ngā mihi, 

Chris Thornborough
Director Regulatory System - Gambling
