Do you lot actually trust offshore betting apps, or do we need more homegrown ones?

Discussion

Had a yarn with a mate the other night about where people put their bets for rugby and cricket. Most of us still end up on the big offshore apps like Bet365 or Stake. They work fine, but honestly they feel a bit cold like they don’t really get how we do things here.

I have noticed a couple of local platforms starting to pop up, Dashtickets.nz being one of them and it made me wonder: do Kiwis actually want a local option, or is it just easier to stick with the international guys we already know? For me it’s less about the odds and more about trusting the site to actually pay out and not muck around with withdrawals. What about you lot, would you back a NZ-based platform if it felt solid, or nah, doesn’t matter where it’s from?
