Auckland City

SkyCity's Maltese subsidiary SkyCity Malta, will partner with Oslo and Stockholm stock exchange listed company Gaming Innovation Group to provide the online casino gambling platform which will be available for New Zealanders.

It is expected to be launched in mid-2019 and will have a .com URL.

New Zealand laws stipulate that only government-owned Lotto and the TAB are permitted to offer online gambling from within New Zealand.

The PNG club were 5-2 winners against Vanuatu's Malampa Revivors on Saturday, their first points in Oceania competition.

RNZI reports most of the goal-mouth action took place in the day's opening game, Auckland keeping their hopes of a sixth consecutive title alive with a 4-2 victory over Tahitian side AS Tefana.

The second match was a far tenser affair, New Caledonia's AS Magenta shading the possession but struggling to get their noses in front before Wellington secured the win with a couple of quick-fire late goals to win 2-0.
