Illegality Not Stopping Online Casinos

South Africa has really had a hard time of it over the past several years; the country has long held offshore online casino gambling as illegal. Now though the government is actively working on new legislation and regulations that will bring out a larger but more controlled internet gambling market. The timing though just isn’t quite fast enough to curb an influx of illegal online casinos offering services within the South African market. There is a huge push right now and South Africans themselves are just not really willing to wait for the government to finalize the regulations, then go through the licensing process before the online gambling sites are able to legally operate.

The impatience of the masses as well as the offshore online casinos unwilling to wait for the new licensing system are to blame for the surge in internet gambling. The real problem though is in the fact that the market is expanding so rapidly without the control of the government. The online casino gambling sites operating in the market are doing so without the controls and strict regulations that are in place throughout much of Europe and the UK. That means that underage gambling is becoming a big problem in the South African market and one that the government would do well to solve rapidly, before it worsens.

The lengthy regulation process is really causing concern now that the figures are being released about the sheer size of the current illegal South African online casino gambling market. It is enormous. And the underage gambling is a growing concern. The South African market is a gem right now for the more unscrupulous companies willing to operate in the market despite the government’s request that companies wait until the regulation is finalized and implemented…but what the heck is taking so long?
