About PacificLotto NZ Guide
Find out who we are, how our online lottery service works, and how we support safer lottery play in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our Story
PacificLotto NZ Guide was created as an online lottery platform for adults in New Zealand who want a simple, secure way to take part in lottery games while clearly understanding how those games work.
We noticed that many people only see headlines about jackpots, without clear explanations of rules, odds or the risks involved. Our aim is to provide both a convenient way to buy tickets and transparent information, so that every decision to play is informed and considered.
We are a lottery operator and ticket-purchasing service dedicated to New Zealand players. Through your PacificLotto NZ Guide account you can buy tickets, manage entries and receive any winnings in accordance with our game rules and Terms & Conditions.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe, transparent and easy-to-use online lottery service for adults in New Zealand. We focus on:
- Offering secure online access to Lotto, Keno and Bullseye for registered players
- Displaying key information such as odds, randomness and prize tables before you confirm any ticket
- Highlighting age limits, legal requirements and player responsibilities on every account
- Embedding responsible gambling tools and directing people to support services where needed
Everything we do is designed so that, if you choose to gamble, you do so with full control and understanding. We do not use aggressive promotions, and we never pressure you to spend more than you can afford.
Responsible Play
At PacificLotto NZ Guide, responsible gambling is at the centre of how our platform is designed. Lottery games can seem harmless, but they still involve real money and real risk.
- We remind players that gambling is restricted to persons aged 18 years and over in New Zealand
- We emphasise that gambling should never be used to fix financial problems or pay essential bills
- We encourage the use of personal limits on time and money spent on gambling
- We signpost free, confidential support services for anyone worried about their gambling
If you ever feel that gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing, we strongly urge you to stop and reach out for professional help.
