Terms of Use
Effective Date: 3 June 2026
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of hitstarscasino.com (the "Site"), operated as an independent sports betting information service for adults in New Zealand. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use immediately.
1. Informational platform only
hitstarscasino.com is an informational website only. We are not a gambling operator, bookmaker, casino, lottery provider, or financial adviser. Nothing on this Site constitutes betting advice, investment guidance, or an invitation to wager. All content is published for general informational purposes for adults aged 18 and over who are interested in the New Zealand sports betting market. We do not accept wagers, hold player funds, or manage betting accounts on behalf of users.
Any decision to register with, deposit at, or place bets through a third-party sportsbook is made solely at your own discretion and risk. You are responsible for verifying that any operator you choose is appropriately licensed, regulated, and permitted to offer services to customers in your jurisdiction before providing personal or financial information.
2. Eligibility and legal compliance
You must be at least 18 years old to use this website. By confirming your age through our age-verification prompt, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of this Site and any linked third-party services complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and licensing requirements in New Zealand and any other jurisdiction that applies to you.
Sports betting in New Zealand is regulated under the Gambling Act 2003 and related legislation. The New Zealand Racing Board operates TAB under domestic licensing arrangements. Online sportsbooks that serve New Zealand customers may operate under various offshore licences. We do not guarantee the legal status of any third-party operator in any jurisdiction, and you should conduct your own due diligence before engaging with any sportsbook.
3. Affiliate relationships and compensation
We may receive compensation from sportsbook operators, affiliate networks, or advertising partners when you visit third-party websites through links on this Site. This commercial relationship is disclosed in the banner at the top of every page. Compensation may influence the placement, prominence, or ordering of featured operators but does not alter our commitment to presenting factual, balanced information to the extent reasonably practicable.
Affiliate links may use tracking parameters or referral codes to attribute traffic. These mechanisms do not increase the cost of services you receive from third-party operators. Our affiliate relationships do not create any agency, partnership, or joint venture between us and any sportsbook operator.
4. No liability for losses or damages
All content on this Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
To the fullest extent permitted by New Zealand law, we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this Site or any linked third-party services, including but not limited to financial losses from sports wagering, loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption. Sports wagering involves significant financial risk. Never stake more than you can afford to lose.
5. Content accuracy and editorial standards
We aim to keep information on this Site accurate, current, and relevant to New Zealand sports bettors. However, promotional terms, odds, market availability, licensing status, and operator features change frequently and without notice. Information published on this Site may become outdated between review cycles. We do not undertake to update all content in real time.
Before depositing funds or placing bets, you must verify all details—including bonus terms, wagering requirements, minimum odds, payment methods, and withdrawal policies—directly with the relevant sportsbook operator. If you identify an error or outdated information on our Site, please report it to [email protected].
6. Third-party links and external services
This Site may contain links to external websites, including sportsbook operators, responsible-gambling resources, and government directories. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, security measures, or terms of service of any third-party website.
Your relationship with any sportsbook or external service provider is directly between you and that operator. We are not a party to any transaction, dispute, or agreement you enter into with a third party. When you leave this Site via an external link, you do so at your own risk and should review the applicable terms and privacy policies of the destination website.
7. Intellectual property rights
All content on this Site—including text, graphics, logos, layout, design elements, and compilation of information—is protected by applicable intellectual property laws unless otherwise stated. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or scrape content from this Site without our prior written consent, except for personal, non-commercial viewing purposes.
Trademarks, service marks, and logos of third-party sportsbook operators displayed on this Site belong to their respective owners. Their appearance on this Site does not imply endorsement of hitstarscasino.com by those operators, except as disclosed through affiliate relationships.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to use this Site for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Site or interfere with any other party's use. Prohibited activities include attempting to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site, using automated tools to scrape or harvest content, transmitting malware, impersonating another person, or using the Site if you are under 18 years of age.
We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the Site for any user who violates these Terms or engages in conduct we reasonably consider harmful to the Site, its users, or third parties.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless hitstarscasino.com and its operators from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any applicable law, or your interactions with third-party sportsbook operators accessed through links on this Site.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update or revise these Terms at any time without prior notice. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page indicates when the Terms were last revised. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed of any modifications.
11. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
