In a Gambling Utopia: South Africa

The South African government is actively writing new land and online casino gambling regulations for the country that will radically alter the currently unregulated free-for-all that is occurring in this potentially lucrative market. Internet gambling is currently illegal in the country even though the government is currently writing the regulations and legislation that will legalize the pastime in the country. The international gambling industry is waiting patiently for the new regulations to come into effect at the government’s request. There are, however, several online casinos that are ignoring the government’s request and are currently offering internet gambling options in the unregulated South African market.

Those online casinos with patience will be rewarded though as the government will only issue gambling licenses to those gambling groups that have never operated illegally in the South African market. The South African government’s decision to implement online casino gambling was an example of a nation realizing that resistance is, in essence, futile. The internet gambling industry is incredibly pervasive because of the medium, the internet. Nations all over the world are currently searching for effective methods of blocking the internet gambling sites without infringing on personal freedoms and internet censorship rights.

The emerging South African market is one of the exciting but smaller potential internet gambling markets. The online casinos are actively positioning for entry into the huge markets like Asia, but only a handful of the major gambling groups are prepping for pending entry into the South African online casino and betting market. There is money to be made, just not as much as some other, larger, markets.
