New Zealand Community Trust

New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT) raises money for amateur sport, the arts, education, health and the community by operating gaming machines in more than a 100 pubs and other venues around the country. Our annual enterprise revenue is circa $1.1 billion, which includes prizes to players (91c in every dollar on average), with net revenues of around $100 million and profits of around 40% per year. We are proud of the contribution we make and in 2021/22 we returned $39.2 million through over 1442 grants to a wide range of organisations. We couldn't do this without the help of our venue operators, who host the gaming machines in their pubs, hotels and other venues. NZCT venue operators not only manage the gaming machines, but they also ensure that the machines are played responsibly. People with gambling problems are not welcome in our venues, and we do our best to ensure these people get the help they need. Recreational players enjoy playing our machines, which are among the best in the country, and we ensure that they are kept up to date with the latest games and jackpots. Our total investment in assets is around $20 million and we reinvest on average over $6 million a year. The class 4 gaming sector is one of the most highly regulated industries in the country. It is also one of the most competitive. NZCT advocates on behalf of its stakeholders at all levels, including with central and local government.
