Global TV Experts launches GTE Pacific ahead of New Zealand licensing

Global TV Experts has launched a New Zealand-focused operation, GTE Pacific, after securing access to nationwide television advertising inventory for licensed online gambling operators entering the country’s newly regulated market. The company announced the move in Auckland on 25 June, 2026.

The launch comes as New Zealand prepares to award up to 15 online casino licences, with licensed operators expected to begin launching later this year. Global TV Experts said competition is already building for early brand visibility and customer acquisition.

Ben Wilcockson, founder of Global TV Experts, said: “The winners in New Zealand will be decided long before the first bet is placed.

“This is a rare opportunity to launch into a regulated market with no established online casino leaders and no entrenched player habits. The operators that build awareness first will have a genuine opportunity to shape the market.

“With only a limited number of licences available and a finite amount of premium television inventory, the race to secure visibility has already started. That’s why we’ve launched GTE Pacific and secured nationwide inventory to help operators maximise their opportunity from day one.”

Global TV Experts said GTE Pacific is backed by its wider network, which it says has more than 15 years of experience supporting regulated gambling operators across more than 50 markets, including assisting partners entering newly regulated markets such as Ontario. The agency said it focuses on television campaigns and supporting operators in navigating advertising regulations.
