WAAG: South Africa: Overview

The South African online casino gambling market has really been a state of flux over the past more than a year now because of planned regulatory changes out of the South African government. South Africa has a potentially decent sized market in place that is readily waiting to accept the online casinos into the market place. The government though has been hesitant to legalize internet gambling for several reasons that include fears of increased problem and addictive gambling rates. Internet gambling is actually prevalent in the current market right now because the bans that are in place are largely ineffective at actually keeping the South Africans from accessing internet casinos that are illegally operating in the South African market.

The government has requested that the online casino gambling companies respect the bans and blocks that are currently in place and stay out of the South African market until new legislation can be put in place. That is not entirely effective and some more unscrupulous companies have ruined their chances of ever legally obtaining a South African license by accessing this market while the regulations are in development.

In addition to the potential within the online casino gambling industry there is land betting and other forms of gambling that take place both within the law and outside of the government’s regulations.
