The internet personality Millie Elder-Holmes has been fined $5000 for promoting online gambling.

It comes as part of a recent crackdown by the Department of Internal Affairs on social media influencers using their platforms for that purpose.

In a statement, a department spokesperson said Elder-Holmes was fined after ignoring an earlier warning in April.

Elder-Holmes is the daughter of the late broadcaster Paul Holmes and Hinemoa Elder.

Individuals could be fined up to $10,000 for promoting online gambling.
