Who we are

NZCT (New Zealand Community Trust) is one of New Zealand’s largest gaming trusts, proudly supporting communities since 1998. We raise funds through responsible gaming partnerships with our hospitality venues and return 100% of our profits—after taxes, levies, and operating costs—to community organisations. In 23/24, NZCT awarded over $40 million in grants for a wide range of community services, including sports, rescue services, youth development, the Arts, and cultural activities.

Legends Bar indoor gaming room with pokie machines on each side and a large digital screen in the centre showing pokie game winnings and losses. Several people are seated at the pokie machines, engaged in playing.
