Entain soft-launches BlackRush Casino in New Zealand

Soft-launched 30 September 2026 - Entain's new BlackRush Casino brand goes live for New Zealand players a day after the Department of Internal Affairs opened the auction for the country's 15 online casino licences, running on Entain's ElectraWorks Gibraltar licence and requiring a New Zealand VPN. The brand sits alongside New Zealand-facing FoxySpins and Entain's TAB NZ and betcha sportsbooks, with each licence covering a single brand and a maximum of three per operator. The regulated online casino market is expected to launch during 2027, with chief executive Stella David putting the annual opportunity at roughly £600m.
