Some Online Casinos Disqualified

The South African government is nearing the end of its continued revisions and re-drafting of online casinos gambling regulation. As the fact that the country will have a legalized and regulated industry becomes more of a reality, several internet gambling companies are preparing to enter the South African gambling industry. But interestingly, the government has noted that not only will the Gambling Board be selective in deciding which online casinos gambling companies are able to operate in the region, those companies that are currently violating the South African ban on internet gambling have a slim chance of actually getting a license once they the Board hands the licenses out.

There are few companies that have violated the online casinos gambling ban in the country, but others have taken payments from South African gamblers or even advertised internet gambling services in South African media. These companies knowingly ignored the country’s internet gambling restrictions and as such they have most likely eliminated any chance that the National Gambling Board will offer the company one of the anticipated online casinos gambling licenses. The Chief of Operations for the National Gambling Board, Themba Maracha, commented, “Acts of wrongdoing will disqualify them should they want to apply for a licence in the new South African gambling environment.”

Tops on the list of online casinos with very little chance of obtaining a South African internet gambling license is the Piggs Peak casino. Piggs Peak operates primarily in Swaziland where the company is licensed. The company is currently at court with the South African Gambling Board to establish if Piggs Peak is one of the company’s currently violating the nation’s internet gambling ban. Other online casinos companies have primed themselves for entry into the market, yet held back from actually operating internet gambling for precisely the reason mentioned – several European countries anticipated the legalization of gambling in South Africa and chose to stay out of the industry until completely legalized.
