Online Casinos Come to South Africa

There has been a huge push over the past several years to implement legalized online casino gambling in South Africa. The government was firmly against the internet gambling and betting sites for some time, but chose to license and regulate the industry so that the government at least had a modicum of control over the industry. The latest news in the South African market indicates that the new 3G video betting company is launching for the horse race betting industry. The new technology is being provided by C3, a voice and data company specializing in interactive technology.

In the South African market, Phumelela is one the larges horse race betting company in the market. Right now, online casinos are still in the regulation process and the land betting industry is looking to boost its offerings as a way to appeal to the punters before there is a lot of legal competition in the market. The new 3G video betting technology has been fully launched by the betting company on a trial basis right now. The core of the technology appeals much like the online casinos –it’s just more convenient. Gamblers are able to use mobile handsets to then place bets at any time of day on the live horse races.

Mobile devices are a huge hit in the European and UK land and online casino gambling markets and there is no reason to assume that the South Africans will not also embrace this new technology and really enjoy the freedom of betting that it now allows. Right now it is focused on the horserace betting industry, but the other markets in South Africa, mainly sports betting are looking into the possibilities there.
