Current as of 30 October 2026, checked against the Racing Industry Act 2020 (as amended on 28 June 2025) and the Department of Internal Affairs’ published enforcement statement.

A punter in New Zealand who reaches for a phone in 2026 is reaching into a market that has just been closed. Since 28 June 2025 only TAB NZ and its online sister brand Betcha may lawfully take an online sports or racing bet from someone in New Zealand. The change was not a tweak; it was the Racing Industry Amendment Act 2025 inserting section 74AAA into the Racing Industry Act 2020, after which the Department of Internal Affairs wrote to offshore providers serving New Zealand and told them to withdraw with immediate effect. Every other app that takes a Kiwi deposit — BillyBets, 22Bet, Rooster.bet, BetWinner, Megapari, the rest — is now operating in breach of that section as far as the regulator is concerned. The page below reads those apps the way the law reads them: as the unlicensed option. TAB and Betcha are reviewed as the lawful option, with the cost each one shifts onto the punter laid out in the open. The page is built around what mobile betting actually costs in 2026: the licence status, the price the bookmaker keeps, the bonus terms that look generous and the offshore option’s missing protections.

How the New Zealand mobile betting market works after the 2025 change

The headline numbers do the talking. New Zealand has one lawful bookmaker, two online brands, and a regulator who has already moved against the rest. The detail underneath is what decides whether the punt is worth making at all.

The legal shape of the market in 2026

Section 74AAA of the Racing Industry Act 2020, inserted by the Racing Industry Amendment Act 2025 and in force since 28 June 2025, says no person other than TAB NZ may offer racing betting, sports betting or other racing or sports betting to a person in New Zealand, regardless of where that person is resident or incorporated. That wording matters because it does not turn on the operator’s address: a Curaçao company taking a bet from Auckland is caught just as a locally incorporated one is. The Department of Internal Affairs, which monitors compliance with the Gambling Act 2003 and the betting prohibition, has confirmed in writing that unlicensed providers were told to withdraw with immediate effect.

TAB NZ runs the only lawful offer through two online brands rather than one. The TAB app and Betcha carry identical underlying terms, both being online brands of the same operator group, run by Entain under a 25-year agreement signed in 2023 that gives Entain a 50/50 share of gross profits, with at least $150m a year going to TAB NZ for the first five years of the deal and an additional one-off $100m Entain pledged to the racing sector. The partnership matters less for the punter than for what it underwrites: the safer-gambling tools, the in-app live race streaming, the racing form database, and the dividends from the tote pool that no offshore operator can match because they cannot be licensed to take them. Betcha is not a rival bookmaker; it is the same house with a different skin, and it shows.

What that means for an offshore app on a New Zealand phone

Section 74AAA is aimed at the operator, not the player. Section 19(4) of the Gambling Act 2003, inserted in the same package, makes clear that an individual cannot be convicted merely for placing a bet with an offshore operator in breach of section 74AAA. So the offshore app does not disappear from a New Zealand phone and New Zealand does not block bookmaker sites. But the regulator’s other warnings do land. The Department of Internal Affairs’ published guidance tells Kiwi punters that overseas operators may be in jurisdictions with minimal consumer safeguards, may not return unspent credits, and may not pay out large wins. No New Zealand complaints route reaches an offshore brand: the harm-minimisation framework, the deposit-limit tool, the self-exclusion register, the Problem Gambling Levy, none of it travels. The bet itself still pays when it pays; the safety net does not.

The numbers a punter actually pays

Two figures govern what mobile betting costs. One is the bookmaker’s margin — the slice of every dollar bet on a market that the bookmaker keeps, mathematically inseparable from the odds on offer and visible by adding the implied probabilities of every outcome back to a number above 100%. The other is the bonus turnover — the volume of betting a “free” offer demands before any winnings become withdrawable, expressed as a multiple of the bonus or deposit. Both are explained in their own sections further down.

The Racing Industry Act, the regulator and what the law actually says

The legal shape above matters because it is what gives every other fact on this page its consequence — what the safer-gambling tools cover, who has to refund an unused balance, where a complaint can be escalated. The framework sits across three statutes and one regulator.

What the statutes cover

The Racing Industry Act 2020 establishes TAB NZ as the sole provider of racing and sports betting in New Zealand, and gives the Racing Industry Amendment Act 2025, in force since 28 June 2025, the teeth to enforce that. The Gambling Act 2003 covers gambling more broadly, sets the age rules, and now hosts the section that protects the individual punter from prosecution for placing an offshore bet. The Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 opens casino gambling to licensing, but it does not extend the betting monopoly or change who may take a sports or racing bet: TAB New Zealand holds the casino licence too, separate from its betting role. The point matters because an article that writes “TAB is licensed under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026” is describing the wrong product; the betting licence is the Racing Industry Act one.

What the Department of Internal Affairs does

DIA is the gambling regulator. It monitors compliance with the betting prohibition under section 92A of the Racing Industry Act 2020, the same section that gives it the power to demand information and to act against providers. Its published warning about offshore operators is the closest thing there is to consumer guidance on going offshore. There is no licence register for bookmakers, which at first looks like an oversight but is in fact the shape of the system: there is no one to register because only TAB NZ may lawfully offer betting, and only TAB NZ may apply to run the casino side. No second application can succeed.

What the greyhound closure means in 2026

Greyhound racing is closing in stages from 1 August 2026, and from that date offshore operators may not take bets on greyhound races either. A punter who has been betting the dogs through an offshore app will find that market vanish on a fixed date. This is one of the few mobile-betting mechanics with a hard deadline that is not the operator’s own choice.

Safer gambling: the in-app tools, the levy and where to get help

The monopoly is more than a lock-out. It comes with a set of in-app safeguards that no offshore operator is required to match, and a harm-minimisation framework that is paid for out of the betting itself rather than left to the punter to find.

What TAB NZ and Betcha put in the app

Both apps — TAB (Racing & Sports Betting) and Betcha — carry deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. The 0800 654 655 Gambling Helpline and the text line 8006 appear inside the apps, both free and both available around the clock. Safer Gambling Aotearoa is the body behind them. Self-exclusion applies across both brands: closing a TAB account closes the Betcha side of it, and the reverse holds.

The Problem Gambling Levy

TAB NZ pays a Problem Gambling Levy of 0.74%, in force from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028. The levy is the mechanism that funds treatment services and the harm-minimisation work that an offshore operator is not contributing to. It is also part of the implicit cost of betting with TAB NZ — the punter’s stake includes the slice that flows into the levy — and explaining it openly is fairer than treating it as if it weren’t there.

Where to get help

The free 24/7 Gambling Helpline is 0800 654 655 (text 8006). Safer Gambling Aotearoa runs the public-facing side. The gambling-harm services are paid for out of the levy above, so they are not the punter’s out-of-pocket expense. A punter who wants the offshore app off the phone entirely can self-exclude from TAB and Betcha; the same switch does not reach an offshore brand, and that difference is the practical reason behind the monopoly’s stronger consumer case.

What a bonus really costs the punter who takes it

“Bonus”, “free bet”, “boosted odds” — they all carry a price. The marketing word is the front; the arithmetic at the back decides whether the offer pays.

The price inside every odds

The bookmaker’s margin is the slice of every dollar that the bookmaker keeps, mathematically inseparable from the odds. Take a two-outcome market where both sides are priced at $1.91. The implied probability of each side is 1 / 1.91, which is 52.4%. The two together add to 104.8%, and the 4.8% above 100% is the bookmaker’s margin. The reader sees two prices; the maths behind them is doing more work. A market whose outcomes add to 100% might, if it existed, give the punter everything back — but it cannot exist, because every bookmaker is pricing to keep. The lower the sum, the closer the punter gets to fair odds. The Sportsbook section of the Bil­lyBets cashier offers New Zealand in the country selector but the only currency filter shown is Euro, the kind of mismatch that is visible in the small print and matters when a payout lands.

How a “free bet” is priced once the small print is read

A free bet whose stake is not paid back is worth less than its face value, and the difference depends on the odds it is used at. The standard model is free-bet value = free-bet amount × (odds − 1) ÷ odds × payout share of the market. Take a $10 free bet used at $3.50 odds in a market with a 95% payout share: the value is 10 × 2.5 ÷ 3.5 × 0.95 = $6.79. The face value is $10; the expected return is $6.79; the gap is the cost of the bet. Push the odds lower and the gap widens — a $10 free bet at $1.50 is worth 10 × 0.5 ÷ 1.5 × 0.95 = $3.17. The same arithmetic is what makes a “free” bonus on a tight-favourite market a thin deal.

Why a turnover requirement changes the picture

A bonus that comes with a turnover requirement is not paid out until a multiple of the bonus has been bet through. The arithmetic that decides whether the offer is worth taking is required turnover = bonus base × wagering factor; bets needed = turnover ÷ stake per bet; only bets at or above the minimum price (typically $1.50 to $2.00, depending on the term) count. TAB NZ’s Mega Multi bonus offers up to $50 in Bonus Cash when a multi of 4 or more legs falls short by a set number of legs (terms and conditions apply). The bonus figure is the face amount; the turnover behind it is what determines whether the punter collects.

Where the marketing word gives way to the term

Take “boosted odds” as an example. The headline is a price higher than the standard market on the same selection; the term is that the boost typically pays in bonus bets or Bonus Cash rather than cash, and that the upper stake is capped. A “risk-free” bet refunded as a free bet is not a refund in money; it is a credit with another free-bet calculation sitting on top. Each word is a clue to the kind of term that follows, and the term is the document that decides what the offer pays. TAB NZ lists Bonus Cash that can be split across multiple bets; the splitting is a feature, and so is the limit on how much of it can be paid out as cash.

The mobile betting app: touchscreen, wallet and where the value lands

The phone is the betting platform. What the app carries, what it strips out, and how it handles money is what most punter experience actually consists of.

The two New Zealand apps at a glance

The TAB app carries horse and harness racing, rugby union, rugby league, and other sports, with pre-match and live betting. It carries a 17+ App Store age rating while stating that customers must be 18 or over to bet: the difference is the App Store’s lower threshold, not the law’s. Trackside live race streaming sits inside the app, with in-app betting, racing form, a Blackbook tool, a Jockey Challenge and a simplified wallet for deposits and withdrawals. Multis are well-covered: Same Race Multis, Same Game Multis, one-tap Popular Multis and a Place Extra option that lets punters back runners to finish up to 10th in selected races.

The Betcha app, published by Entain New Zealand Limited and first released on 6 August 2024, sits beside the TAB app on the same underlying wallet. It carries a 17+ App Store age rating, offers safer-betting tools in the app, and lists the free 24/7 Gambling Helpline 0800 654 655. The differences from TAB are mostly cosmetic — Betcha is pitched to a younger, mobile-first audience — but the licence, the safer-gambling tools, the deposit-limit system and the exclusions are the same.

What the offshore apps ship instead

The offshore apps named below are not lawfully offered to New Zealand residents, but they exist on the New Zealand App Store and on Android mirrors and they are what many Kiwi punters will have already installed. Each carries its own mechanics.

BillyBets runs on a mobile-optimised platform across both Android and iOS, with 24/7 support through live chat and a Help Centre.

Alawin accepts customers aged 18 or over only.

RTbet’s sportsbook covers football, tennis, table tennis, basketball, ice hockey, American football and baseball, with live betting and virtual sports.

FunBet offers odds on football, ice hockey, American football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, rugby and baseball, with live betting and a bookmaker described as open 24/7.

22Bet is run by TechSolutions Group N.V., a Curaçao company with registration number 144920, which also runs 20Bet, Bizzo and National Casino. The Curaçao licence number tied to 22Bet is 8048/JAZ.

Rooster.bet is operated by Novatrix SRL, a Costa Rica company with registration number 3-102-893958, under an e-gaming licence (No. 0000002) issued by the Tobique Gaming Commission.

Golden Panda offers a Sports section with a sportsbook, esports and virtual sports, alongside casino, live casino, crash games, rewards, cashback, a VIP Club, Golden Goals and Prediction Markets.

Winz.io states in its footer that it holds an Anjouan and Tobique licence.

SpinBetter offers iOS and Android apps and a mobile version of the site, and its footer states an age limit of 21+.

Megapari’s English site offers sports betting with Live, Multi-LIVE and Turf sections, a casino, Crash and Dice games, and iOS and Android apps; its footer states 21+.

BetWinner lists Sports, Multi-LIVE, Live and Toto betting, a casino with Win Games and a live casino, iOS and Android apps and a 21+ age notice.

Paripesa offers a Line, Live, Multi-LIVE, cricket-led sportsbook, slots, live casino, virtual sports, TV games and bingo, with iOS, Android and web apps and a 21+ age notice.

Boomerang Bet accepts customers aged 18 or over only.

Thunderpick.io is owned and operated by Paloma Media B.V., a Curaçao company with company number 146988, licensed by the Curaçao Gaming Authority under licence number OGL/2024/677/0722.

Baji is run by Northern Lights Limited Holdings Limited, registration number 15839, registered in Mutsamudu on the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros, under Anjouan licence No. ALSI-202410030-FI1.

Betninja states that it is licensed to conduct online gaming operations by the Union of the Comoros.

Wallet mechanics that decide what the punter actually keeps

The in-app wallet is what makes the difference between a bet that pays out and a balance that does not move. TAB NZ and Betcha use a simplified wallet: deposit, place the bet, withdraw. The offshore brands vary. Some accept crypto alongside card, others bank transfer only, several require the punter to clear a turnover on the deposit before withdrawing. The wagering multiple, the minimum odds for a clearing bet, the cut-off time and the cap on free-bet winnings are all in the small print; the small print is the document. Read it before staking.

The ten operators on a New Zealand punter’s shortlist in 2026

This section is the page’s review block. The two New Zealand apps come first, reviewed as the lawful option. The eight offshore brands that follow are reviewed as the unlicensed option, with the same cost lens applied to each. None of them is recommended; some are less costly than others for a punter who decides to use them anyway.

TAB (Racing & Sports Betting)

TAB NZ’s flagship app and the only lawful bookmaker offering racing and sports betting to people in New Zealand since the Racing Industry Amendment Act 2025 took effect on 28 June 2025. The licence is statutory rather than registered: there is no register for bookmakers because there is only this one lawful provider, and the app is published on the New Zealand App Store under the seller name New Zealand Racing Board with the app first released on 8 September 2014. The mechanics are wide for a regulated bookmaker: fixed-odds and tote (pool) bets, with bets such as Win, Place, Each Way, Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta, First Four, Double, Treble, Daily Double, Running Double, Quaddie and Big6, plus Multis and Same Game Multis (a multi whose legs come from one event). Live betting is in the app and so is Trackside live race streaming. Bonus Cash promotions run; the most publicised is the Mega Multi bonus of up to $50 in Bonus Cash when a multi of 4 or more legs falls short by a set number of legs, with the usual terms attached. The safer-gambling tools sit inside the app: deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion, the 0800 654 655 Gambling Helpline and the text line 8006. The 17+ App Store age rating is below the legal 18 — a quirk of the App Store’s classification, not of the law. The Problem Gambling Levy of 0.74% (1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028) sits in the price. The verdict: this is the lawful option and it carries the only route into New Zealand harm-minimisation; it is the only app where a Kiwi punter’s self-exclusion actually closes the account.

Betcha

One of two online brands of TAB NZ, with the Entain partnership behind both. First released on 6 August 2024 on the New Zealand App Store under the publisher Entain New Zealand Limited. The app carries a 17+ App Store age rating, the same safer-betting tools as TAB, the same 0800 654 655 helpline, and the same exclusion framework. The brand pitch is mobile-first — a younger-feeling skin on the same product. The differences from TAB are on the surface; the underlying wallet and the dividends are the same, and a punt with Betcha settles with TAB NZ the operator. The verdict: for a punter who likes the lighter interface and the mobile-first framing, Betcha is the lawful option in a different wrapper; it is the same shop front, not a competitive one, and the bonus terms are the same as TAB’s on the underlying site.

BillyBets

NOT licensed in New Zealand. The brand names no licence that applies in New Zealand; the Department of Internal Affairs’ enforcement scope covers the section 74AAA prohibition and BillyBets sits on the wrong side of it. The cashier page offers New Zealand in its country selector but shows only Euro as a currency filter — the kind of mismatch that tells a punter the account was not built with a Kiwi deposit in mind. The site runs on a mobile-optimised platform across Android and iOS, and support is available 24/7 through live chat and a Help Centre. The casino side is the brand’s focus and the sportsbook sits on top of it. The verdict: the only sensible reason a New Zealand punter might land here is a casino game; for sports and racing, the brand is unlawful to bet with and the New Zealand complaints route does not reach it.

Alawin

NOT licensed in New Zealand. The brand accepts customers aged 18 or over only — the same minimum age as TAB NZ, but enforced by the brand’s own terms rather than New Zealand law. The sportsbook is one section of a casino-led product. The verdict: a casino first, a sportsbook second; a punter who already has Alawin on their phone for the slots will find the betting section usable but not the reason to be there, and the licence status is unchanged.

RTbet

NOT licensed in New Zealand. The brand names a Curaçao licence, which provides no authorisation to operate in New Zealand. The sportsbook covers football, tennis, table tennis, basketball, ice hockey, American football and baseball, with live betting and virtual sports. The breadth of the in-play and virtual markets is the brand’s edge; for a punter whose interest is in niche in-play markets rather than racing, the breadth is the reason to have it on the phone. The verdict: the marketing case for RTbet is its in-play depth; the legal case against using it from a New Zealand address is unchanged.

FunBet

NOT licensed in New Zealand. No licence that applies in New Zealand is named. The sportsbook covers football, ice hockey, American football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, rugby and baseball, with live betting and a bookmaker described as open 24/7. Rugby is the unusual line in the market — most of the offshore brands on the list lean football. The verdict: a sportsbook with a rugby line and a 24/7 framing; if a punter’s main interest is rugby leagues outside Super Rugby Pacific, FunBet is one of the few options on the offshore shelf.

22Bet

NOT licensed in New Zealand. Holder TechSolutions Group N.V. is a Curaçao company (registration number 144920) that also runs 20Bet, Bizzo and National Casino; the Curaçao licence number tied to 22Bet is 8048/JAZ. The Curaçao licence gives no right to take bets from people in New Zealand. 22Bet is the longest-running of the offshore brands on this list and the one most likely to already be on a Kiwi punter’s phone from before the 2025 change. The verdict: brand familiarity is not a New Zealand licence, and the licence TechSolutions holds is jurisdiction-specific; a punter who keeps 22Bet on the phone is choosing to bet without New Zealand consumer protections.

Rooster.bet

NOT licensed in New Zealand. Holder Novatrix SRL, a Costa Rica company with registration number 3-102-893958, under an e-gaming licence (No. 0000002) issued by the Tobique Gaming Commission. The Tobique licence gives no right to take bets from people in New Zealand. The sportsbook is the main event, with casino alongside. The verdict: a recent entrant to the offshore market with a Tobique licence that does not extend to New Zealand; for a punter who already uses Rooster.bet, the legal status is unchanged.

Golden Panda

NOT licensed in New Zealand. The brand names no licence that applies in New Zealand; the site carries a Sports section with a sportsbook, esports and virtual sports, alongside casino, live casino, crash games, rewards, cashback, a VIP Club, Golden Goals and Prediction Markets. The breadth of products is wide — esports, virtuals, prediction markets. The verdict: a casino product with a sportsbook attached, pitched at the punter who wants everything on one site; for a New Zealand punter the licensing status is the same as every other offshore brand on this list.

Winz.io

NOT licensed in New Zealand. Footer states Anjouan and Tobique licences, which give no right to take bets from people in New Zealand. The site is crypto-led. The verdict: a brand pitched at crypto-first punters; for a New Zealand punter the licence position is the same as the other offshore brands, with the additional wrinkle that crypto withdrawals are not subject to a New Zealand complaints framework if a withdrawal stalls.

MEGApari, BetWinner, Paripesa, SpinBetter, Boomerang Bet, Thunderpick, Baji, Betninja — the wider offshore shelf

These eight brands sit alongside the ten above on many shortlists. MEGApari offers Live, Multi-LIVE and Turf sections, with a casino and Crash and Dice games. BetWinner offers Sports, Multi-LIVE, Live and Toto betting, with iOS and Android apps. Paripesa offers a Line, Live, Multi-LIVE, cricket-led sportsbook. SpinBetter is owned and operated by 3-102-955890 LIMITADA (DBA Sprut Group Limitada), registration number 3-102-955890, with a registered address in Jaco, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, under licence number ALSI-202607036-FI2. Boomerang Bet accepts customers aged 18 or over only. Thunderpick.io is owned and operated by Paloma Media B.V., licensed under Curaçao licence number OGL/2024/677/0722. Baji is run by Northern Lights Limited Holdings Limited, registered in Mutsamudu, Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros, under Anjouan licence No. ALSI-202410030-FI1. Betninja states that it is licensed by the Union of the Comoros. None of these licences applies in New Zealand.

Comparison: the lawful apps and the offshore shelf side by side

How to read the table

The status column is the legal position. The right-hand column shows what each operator’s own terms say — the figure a punter can verify on the operator’s site before staking. The lawful row carries the only path into New Zealand harm-minimisation. The offshore rows carry the only path into a market with no New Zealand complaints route.

Where this leaves a New Zealand punter in 2026

There is no neutral ground here. The lawful option is TAB or Betcha, with the same underlying wallet and the same excluded-player framework. The offshore option is any of the ten brands above, none of them licensed in New Zealand, none of them reachable by New Zealand’s harm-minimisation framework, each carrying its own licence in its own jurisdiction. The cost comparison the punter is making is not between bookmakers; it is between one bookmaker with the full regulatory layer and ten books with none of it. The arithmetic sits inside every price and every bonus term. The marketing word is not the offer; the small print is. The only term that matters more than the small print is whether the offer is lawful here at all.

Frequently asked questions about mobile betting in New Zealand

Which bookmaker may lawfully take sports and racing bets in New Zealand?

Since 28 June 2025, only TAB NZ may take sports and racing bets from someone in New Zealand, under section 74AAA of the Racing Industry Act 2020 as inserted by the Racing Industry Amendment Act 2025. TAB NZ takes bets through its two online brands, the TAB app and Betcha. There is no licence register for bookmakers because there is no one to register. The Department of Internal Affairs wrote to unlicensed providers serving New Zealand and told them to withdraw with immediate effect.

How is the return on a bet worked out from the stake and the odds?

For a single bet, return = stake × odds; net profit = stake × (odds − 1). For a combination bet (a multi), the odds of the legs multiply into one price before the stake is applied. Odds on the New Zealand apps are published in decimal form, so a $10 stake at $3.50 returns $35 (a $25 profit). The return is paid only if every leg of a multi wins.

What is the bookmaker’s margin and how can it be seen in the odds?

The bookmaker’s margin is the slice of every dollar bet that the bookmaker keeps, inseparable from the odds. On a two-outcome market where both sides are priced at $1.91, the implied probabilities add to 104.8% — the 4.8% above 100% is the margin. The lower the sum, the closer the punter gets to fair odds. Margins differ by market and by bookmaker.

What does a player lose by betting with a bookmaker that has no New Zealand licence?

The punter loses access to New Zealand harm-minimisation tools: deposit limits within TAB NZ’s framework, time-outs and self-exclusion that close both TAB and Betcha at once, the 0800 654 655 helpline and the Safer Gambling Aotearoa services funded by the Problem Gambling Levy. The Department of Internal Affairs warns that overseas operators may be in jurisdictions with minimal consumer safeguards, may not return unspent credits, and may not pay out large wins. No New Zealand complaints route reaches an offshore brand.

From what age can bets be placed with TAB NZ, and what is checked when opening an account?

TAB NZ requires an account holder to be 18 or over; betting under 18 is an offence under section 89 of the Racing Industry Act 2020. Account opening requires a verified New Zealand address and ID. Land-based casinos are 20 — the rule is not the same across the gambling sector. The TAB and Betcha apps carry a 17+ App Store age rating, which is the App Store’s classification, not the law’s.

Are betting winnings taxed in New Zealand?

Inland Revenue guidance says recreational gambling winnings are generally not taxable, and prize money from TAB horse, dog and trotting races is not taxable. A person who bets as a business is a different case, and the answer for any individual depends on their own circumstances. This is general information, not tax advice — Inland Revenue or an accountant is the right source for a person’s specific position. Operator side: TAB NZ pays the Problem Gambling Levy of 0.74%; overseas operators supplying New Zealand residents pay online gambling duty on profits (12% since 1 July 2024, rising to 16% from 1 January 2027), though a duty being payable does not make an offer lawful.
