State of the Union: South Africa Edition

Let’s take a look at what South Africa is doing over the next year and how the current online casino gambling situation is faring in the country. South Africa is all talk these days about the coming World Cup – an international event that is shinning a lot of light and focus on the country. South Africa has been preparing venues and accommodation to handle the huge number of visitors that will poor into the country in the days surrounding the World Cup. One bone of contention that is still plaguing many foreign companies though is the lack of gambling regulations for the online casinos and internet betting companies that are vying for legal entry into the market so that they can be ready to place bets and partake in the industry for the World Cup.

At this point the bulk of the official betting at the World Cup is not going to take place at the online casinos, but rather at the land betting venues that have been licensed to operate and are already setting up shop. Several of the huge UK betting companies are already developing their land presence in anticipation. The World Cup is really dominating the year for South Africa and there are no attempts to look at what the online casino gambling industry will look like in the months following the World Cup.

There have been critics throughout the sporting industry as well as the online casino industry that have questioned South Africa’s ability to host such a huge international event and the first half of the year will be wholly focused on making sure that the event runs without any major glitches. After the World Cup the internet casinos will likely force the regulation issue back into prominence with an effort to force the new regulations to pass and take effect.
