Goodbye 21.com, Hello KodaBet

We’ve got some big news to share with you. After years of being part of our gaming journey, 21.com will close its doors on 1st October 2025. But don’t worry, this isn’t a goodbye to your favourite games or your account. Instead, it’s a fresh start with KodaBet.com here in New Zealand, while players in Finland will move over to KarhuBet.com.

What happens to our accounts?

On the day of the switch, everything moves across automatically. Our logins, balances, bonuses, and playing history will all be waiting for us on KodaBet. There’s no need to create a new account or re-enter details. All we’ll do is log in like normal, just on a brand-new site.

Why the change?

The team behind 21.com decided it was time for a fresh brand that feels sharper, more modern, and easier to recognise worldwide. With KodaBet, we’ll get the same games and reliability we’re used to, but wrapped in a new design and smoother experience. It’s not just a name change, it’s an upgrade for the future.

What does this mean for us in New Zealand?

From our side as players, it’s actually very simple. Here’s what we can expect:

  • Same games and providers – all our favourite slots, table games, and live casino titles will still be there.
  • Bonuses carry over – if we’re in the middle of a bonus, it continues on KodaBet without interruption.
  • Account continuity – our money, history, and loyalty rewards don’t go anywhere.
  • A fresh look – easier navigation and a more polished design to play on.

When is it happening?

Here are the key dates to keep in mind:

  • 1st October 2025 – 21.com officially closes, and all players in New Zealand will be redirected to KodaBet.com.

From that day on, 21.com will no longer be active. Every link or bookmark will take us straight to KodaBet, so we don’t have to change anything ourselves.

Final thoughts

For many of us, 21.com has been a trusted place to play for years. While it’s always a little sad to see a name disappear, we’re excited about what comes next. KodaBet promises the same reliability with a new energy that’s built to stand out. We get to keep everything we love, with the bonus of a refreshed look and new opportunities ahead.

So when the time comes, let’s say goodbye to 21.com and log in to KodaBet with confidence. Our accounts, our games, and our fun will all be there waiting, just under a new name.
