South Africa Gambling Guide (on the picture: Southern Sun Montecasino, a.k.a the Pivot Hotel in Johannesburg, the biggest city of the RSA)

Summary: Gambling is legal in South Africa since 1965 (officially the Republic of South Africa, one of the most racist country on Earth, the former hopeful rising star of Africa, a former British colony, still the richest African country by several metrics).

Online gambling is partially legal as well since 2008.

History of Gambling in South Africa - click to expand

1961: Independence from the United Kingdom.

1961 – 1965: Gambling was illegal in this era. Games of chance were not specifically regulated yet, but the British gambling laws no longer applied. Very li

1965: Gambling has been legal in South Africa since 1965, legalized with the passing of the Gambling Act.

1970: Casinos, slot halls started operating in the black-dominated nominally independent bantustans (apartheid era reservations for black natives). They operated illegally but they were tolerated.

1970 – 1995: The age of illegal gambling, rife with organized crime involvement, money laundering and corruption. By the end of this era, in 1995, as much as 2000 illegal gambling venues operated in the country.

1996: The National Gambling Act overhauled the gambling legislation, created the legal framework for the national lottery, and legalized casinos.

This was based on a 1994 report published by the Lotteries and Gambling Board7, which was also referred to as the “Wiehahn Commission”, at that time.

The authors of the report found, that the numerous ill effects of rampant illegal gambling in the country could be easily eliminated by establishing a legal gambling industry with a strong regulatory authority and strict rules.

Legalizing and taxing the many illegal venues also generated significant revenue for the state, and it weakened the many organized crime groups entrenched in the country.

1997: The 1997 Lotteries Act was passed.

2000: The South African National Lottery was established in 2000 (details can be found below, at the South Africa lottery section).

2008: Online gambling was legalized and the gambling legislation was overhauled with the passing of the National Gambling Amendment Act.

However, the new gambling legislation faced heavy opposition from various political and interest groups, and as a result it hasn’t been properly implemented to date.

2022: Introduction of the 2022 Draft Remote Gambling Bill, with the aim of overhauling the South African online gambling legislation.

 

Gambling is legal in South Africa since 1965.

However, most forms of gambling were only legalized in 1996 with the passing of the National Gambling Act1.

The current main piece of the gambling legislation is the 2008 National Gambling Amendment Act2 and its’ amendments (which largely supersede the 2004 National Gambling Act – Act No.2667010).

The following forms of gambling are known to be legal in South Africa:

  • lottery and lottery-like games (including scratch cards, keno – monopoly of the South African National Lottery);
  • bingo (SA bingo halls are slot halls in actuality, they are just classified as bingo halls for taxation reasons and to circumvent certain laws, their primary source of income are slot machines like bingo machines, not actual bingo, details below, in the SA bingo section);
  • sports betting;
  • casino gambling;
  • poker.

 

Gambling is very widespread among the populace, and the lottery is the main form of gambling. 96% of the South African populace regularly purchases lottery tickets, according to a government survey3 (this equates to one of the highest participation rates in the entire world).

 

Online gambling is also partially legal in South Africa, since 2008, according to the aforementioned National Gambling Amendment Act.

Section 11 of the 2004 National Gambling Act prohibits interactive gaming*. However, other acts, including the 2008 Gambling Amendment Act do add some exceptions.

*Definition of interactive gaming according to the 2004 National Gambling Act: “gambling games played or made available to be played through the mechanism of an electronic agent accessed over the internet”. This means online gambling.

Only the following forms of internet gambling are permitted as long as they are conducted by licensed, legally operating, domestic companies (or by the South African licensed subsidiaries of the big international gambling companies):

  • online sports betting,
  • online lottery (monopoly of the South African National Lottery).

 

Casino gambling, poker and bingo are restricted to land-based venues and playing them online is officially illegal.

This was reinforced by a hallmark verdict of the South African Court  (Pigg’s Peak Casino versus the state 20114).

According to the verdict, even foreign online gambling companies are not exempt from these restrictions, and it was declared that they are committing a crime by accepting players form South Africa, if they do not have the proper online gambling licence, even if such licensed are not issued (e.g.: online casino licences, which are still not issued to this day)8.

Pigg’s Peak Casino’s management and shareholders were declared criminally liable for their actions and were ordered to cease and desist immediately. They promptly complied with this order and the offshore online casino ceased operations in 2011.

Punishment for organizing illegal online gambling ranges from: a fine not exceeding R10 million (approx. $723,000), or imprisonment for a period not exceeding 10 years, or both, and it was clarified that this theoretically could be applied to players as well, not just the operators.

/Comment: Although, to this day no players have ever been prosecuted for illegal online gambling in South Africa, despite the fearmongering of the government. Only organizers and illegal operators were prosecuted, and they were only punished if they were within South African jurisdiction.

Due to the unenforceability, foreign operators only receive a warning and a cease and desist letter, similarly to Pigg’s Peak Casino. Most don’t comply./

UPDATE 2022: However, it seems like the authorities have reversed, or a the very least softened their stance regarding internet gambling. According to the official spokesperson of the Democratic Alliance, online gambling in South Africa is not regulated.

According to the spokesperson of the Democratic Alliance5:

“interactive/online gambling is currently not regulated in South Africa,”

“By not regulating this gambling activity, the erosion of the rule of law and criminal activity is being encouraged, while the public is not effectively protected.”

This is perhaps part of the reason why international online casinos, which accept players from South Africa are not prosecuted (even though this is officially illegal). And South African players, who visit such sites are also not targeted (despite the scaremongering of the South African authorities).

The government seems to have embraced a less harsh stance on digital gambling, while they are busy working on the new licensing system that is expected to be implemented with the proposed 2022 Remote Gambling Bill6.

/Comment: The Act is yet to be passed, and it faces some opposition from the The Department of Trade and Industry. The Department expressed concerns that there was no proper preliminary impact study done and the bill doesn’t address social issues related to online gambling in South Africa adequately.

Additionally, there are concerns regarding money laundering and terrorism financing./

UPDATE COVID-19: Due to increased online gambling spending brought about by the pandemic, the South African authorities started forcing the finical institutions to block payments to and from unlicensed gambling platforms and to transmit the personal information of these players to the authorities.

This means that you can not deposit and/or withdraw money if you are playing on an illegally operating unlicensed gambling website. Therefore, even if you win you won’t be able to withdraw your winnings.

Although, this can be easily circumvented by using digital wallets (Neteller, Skrill, ecoPayz) a VPN or virtual currencies we strongly advise against using unlicensed online gambling websites for these reasons.

You can find a list of online gambling websites, which accept players from South Africa below.

 

Can tourists play online from South Africa? 

Yes, the laws discussed on this webpage only apply to South African citizens, and they do not apply to tourists. Tourists (expats, non-citizens, illegal migrants) can play online freely.

 

Betting on blood sports in South Africa

All forms of blood sports are officially illegal in South Africa.

Betting on blood sports is also illegal.

Despite this illegal dog fighting and betting on dog fights is somewhat widespread11. This is sadly very common in Africa.

 

South Africa was the most visited African country for a long time, although it has been steadily losing appeal for some time now, due to the rise in racism (against white people), an extremist, racist government that is trying to introduce reverse-apartheid, so called “rape gangs” and a high overall crime rate and instability.

UPDATE COVID-19: If this wasn’t enough, the global coronavirus devastated the country’s tourism and hospitality sector as well.

Actually, SA’s tourism sector saw the biggest relative decline (in terms of %) in Africa. It hasn’t recovered yet (at the time of writing).

As a result, the number of visitors went from an impressive 14.8 million in 2019 to 3.8 million in 20219. However, this still makes South Africa the most visited Sub-Sharan African country, but its’ title, as the most visited country in Africa, was usurped by North African countries.

As a result, many of the big hotel complexes and their casinos have closed permanently (details can be found in the South Africa casino section below).

If you are thinking about visiting this African country you can get a glimpse of what you can expect by watching the video below (but if you are a white person it’s best to avoid this country for now):

 

South Africa gambling licenses

The National Gambling Board is responsible for the regulation and licensing of the gambling sector in the country. You have to contact them if you wish to set up a gambling business or to acquire a licence for a digital wagering website.

The following types of licences are available to private companies:

  • casino;
  • bingo licence (basically an electronic casino licence, allows gaming machines, bingo machines but not casino table games or card games);
  • limited pay-out machine route licence (slot hall licence but with fewer machines than a bingo licence and the slots are restricted in terms of maximum bets and maximum winnings);
  • limited pay-out machine site licence (slot hall licence, less slots are allowed then at a bingo site, but more than at a route);
  • bookmaker licence;
  • totalizator licence;
  • online betting;
  • manufacturer;

 

The provincial gambling boards decide on which betting licences will be made available to businesses in their jurisdiction, Therefore not all of the wagering licences are available in each and every province.

You can find information about the gambling licencing fees, requirements and the process here.

 

You have to get a provincial licence from the gambling authority of the chosen province, in which your gambling business will be physically located (or the company will be registered in case of an online gambling business).

All 9 of the provinces have their own separate gambling boards, you can find them below, along with the most important local gambling laws, which will help you get started with the application process:

Summary:

 

Casino gambling in South Africa

Casinos in South Africa: legal since 1996, operators require a licence, slot halls are also legal

Online casino gambling in South Africa: illegal, players could theoretically be prosecuted

 

Casinos are legal in South Africa since 1996, according to the 1996 National Gambling Act.

The casino sector, despite the high taxes, is thriving and there are 38 casinos in South Africa (UPDATE COVID-19: down from over 40, prior to the global pandemic and the resulting downturn in tourism).

Even though there are are differences in their attitudes toward gambling, all 9 of the SA provinces have casinos.

Gauteng province, where the biggest city of the country, Johannesburg, is located has the most casinos.

You can read more about the casino sector of South Africa, and you can find a list of all casino venues here, with info about the address, number and types of games, entrance fee, dress code, and with a video of each one etc…

Even though casinos were made legal in 1996 there are still many illegally operating venues, which are regularly raided by the police. However, despite these publicized raids, which often make it into the news* illegal venues are not unheard of in the poor countryside of SA (often the corrupt local police is involved as well).

Slot halls are also legal, and there are 3 different types of them in the country:

  • Limited pay-out machine route: the smallest of the slot hall types, usually only a few slots, which are, as the name suggest, very restricted in terms of pay-out and max bet per spin.
  • Limited pay-out machine site: somewhat bigger, more machines, just as limited. usually needs to pay more taxes and licensing fees.
  • Bingo site: despite the name it does not have much to do with actual bingo, just another tyre of slot hall with bingo machines, more machines than the route and sometimes even more than an LPM site, despite this usually has to pay the least amount of taxes.

 

Online casinos are completely illegal in South Africa.

Theoretically, players could be prosecuted for playing in intentional digital casinos over the internet.

However, this does not seem to be enforced and players are not prosecuted. As a result some international casinos accept players from South Africa (you can see a list of them below).

These digital casinos are licensed and registered outside of SA and therefore they can legally accept players from the country, according to the local laws of the countries from which they operate.

However, keep in mind that this does not make it legal for SA players, it is still illegal for locals to play on these casino websites. Therefore, we do not recommend it.

/Comment: If you still decide to play in an offshore online casino, despite this, use a VPN and a digital wallet (e.g. Skrill, Neteller) and/or crypto currencies (e.g.: bitcoin, ethereum), because the authorities started blocking payments to and from online casinos, which means if you are not using digital wallets or crypto you might end up not getting your winnings./

The online casinos below accept players from South Africa.

Bingo in South Africa

Bingo halls in South Africa: legal since 1996, operators require a licence

Online bingo in South Africa: illegal, players could theoretically be prosecuted

 

Bingo is legal in South Africa.

However, we have to first specify that bingo means something completely different in SA than what it means in the rest of the world.

For historic reasons bingo in South Africa primarily refers to a type of gaming machine, a mechanical slot, not the game that is played with bingo cards in a group setting (although that is also included).

According to National Gambling Act (“definitions” section, at the beginning), bingo is defined as an activity:

“that is played for consideration, using cards or other devices:

  • i.that are divided into spaces each of which bears a different number, picture or symbol; and
  • ii.with numbers, pictures or symbols arranged randomly such that each card or similar device contains a unique set numbers, pictures or symbols

 

  1. in which an operator or announcer calls or displays a series of numbers, pictures or symbols in random order and the players match each such number, picture or symbol on the card or device as it is called or displayed”

 

This definition includes bingo machines as well (you can see a picture of a bingo machine here). These are basically slot machines, and these machines are the primary source of income of the bingo sites (a.k.a. bingo halls). You can’t even play group bingo in most of the SA bingo venues.

/Comment: Bingo halls in many provinces have to pay less taxes than slot routes and sites (sometimes significantly less taxes). That is the reason why many venues are trying to get a bingo licence, even though they are obviously just slot halls.

Luckily the authorities are slowly catching up and the tax rates of SA bingo sites have increased quite sharply in recent years. Actually, the bingo venue tax rates increased the most out of all the various types of gaming venues in SA./

Online bingo is completely illegal.

There aren’t any legally operating, licensed South Africa bingo websites. Playing on an unlicensed digital bingo platform is illegal and players could theoretically be prosecuted for it.

The following bingo websites accept players from South Africa.

Poker in South Africa

Poker halls in South Africa: illegal, players could theoretically be prosecuted

Online poker in South Africa: illegal, players could theoretically be prosecuted

 

Poker is legal in South Africa since the legalization of casinos in 1996.

The competitive card game is restricted to the casino venues of the country.

There aren’t any standalone poker halls in SA, poker hall licences are not issued.

Video poker machines are also legal and are similarly restricted to the casinos. However, because video poker machines are considered primarily gaming machines and not casino gambling these machines can be also be found in bingo sites and in limited pay-out machine sites and routes (the differences between these gaming venues are explained at the South Africa casino section above).

Online poker is illegal. There aren’t any online poker platforms with an SA licence.

Playing poker online on offshore poker networks is illegal and theoretically players could be prosecuted for it. However, the authorities do not actively target poker players.

The following online poker sites accept players from South Africa.

Sports betting in South Africa

Bookmakers, betting shops in South Africa: legal since 1965, operators require a licence

Online sports betting in South Africa: legal since 2008, operators require a licence

 

Sports betting is legal in South Africa, with a betting licence, which can be acquired from the National Gambling Board.

There are at least 30 bookmakers present in the country, many of which are the subsidiaries of big international sports betting giants.

After the lottery sports betting is the second most popular form of wagering in the country.

Online sports betting is also legal since 2008.

The biggest South Africa licensed internet sportsbooks are: Amelco, LulaBet and GVC Holdings.

Most of the digital bookmakers, which have South African online betting licences are the subsidiaries of the big international gambling companies.

This means that South African bettors have access to the latest online gambling technologies and can choose from a plethora of sports to bet on (many of which are obscure and not played in SA at all, e.g: Gaelic football, curling, cricket, jai alai). From a business point of view this means intense competition and a saturated, albeit growing market.

Placing bets with unlicensed bookmakers is illegal. Transactions to and from illegally operating sports betting websites are often intercepted and blocked.

The online sportsbooks below accept punters from South Africa.

Lottery in South Africa

Lottery in South Africa: legal since 1996, monopoly of the South African National Lottery

Online lottery in South Africa: legal, monopoly of the South African National Lottery

 

Lottery is legal in South Africa since 1996, and it is primarily regulated by the 1997 The Lotteries Act and its’ amendments*.

In 2015 ITHUBA Holdings Proprietary Limited was awarded the national lottery license and the company has been SA’s sole lottery operator ever since.

Ithuba has a monopoly over lottery and lottery like activities (keno, scratch cards, pull tabs).

/Comment: But this monopoly doe not extend to bingo, which is considered a form of lottery in many other countries, but this is not the case in SA, detials can be found in the SA bingo section above./

The lottery is very popular and there is at least one lottery retailer even in the smaller settlements.

/Comment: This is why the SA lottery is also known as Ithuba National Lottery (the actual official name is just simply National Lottery)./

The lottery also operates as a sportsbook. However, the lottery does not have a monopoly on sports wagering.

Online lottery is also legal and all of the products of Ithuba National Lottery can be purchased online as well.

The monopoly of Ithuba National Lottery extends to online lottery as well.

According to South African gambling laws players can not buy lottery tickets from foreign online lotteries, that is considered illegal.

However, SA citizens can participate in foreign lottery draws, in person, as tourists visiting other countries, or online, from so called “lottery purchasing services”**.

**Lottery purchasing service explanation: Lottery purchasing services are businesses, which purchase physical lottery tickets for you in a foreign country, if you make a purchase on their website (you can see an example of such a website below). This makes them exempt from numerous lottery laws.

The following websites allow people from South Africa to purchase lottery tickets online.

Online lottery platforms, which accept players from South Africa - click to see

The following internet lottery sites allow players from South Africa to purchase lottery tickets online:

There aren't any online lottery sites, which would accept players from the country. Because online lottery is either illegal or a monopoly of the state-owned national lottery of the country (you can read the details above).

Bitcoin gambling in South Africa

Bitcoin wagering in South Africa: not regulated

 

Cryptocurrencies themselves are legal in SA. However, placing bets with bitcoins, litecoins, ethereum, ripple etc… is not specifically regulated.

The regular gambling laws apply to cryptocurrency gambling as well.

However, due to the lack of specific regulations none of the licensed South African online gambling companies accept cryptocurrencies at this time. It is unknown if this is a voluntary decision or this is for legal reasons (if you know pleas leave a comment at the bottom of this page, thank you).

Playing on unlicensed bitcoin gambling websites is illegal. However, due to the anonymous nature of virtual currencies this is unenforceable, and players are not prosecuted if they use any of the offshore digital bitcoin gambling platforms.

The bitcoin casinos below accept players from South Africa.

Thank you for visiting:
This is a selfie of the author and owner of Simon's Casino Gambling Blog, me, Simon András Péter, a.k.a. by the internet pseudonym SimonTheSorcerer, owner of Simon's Online Marketing Kft. This is the homepage of my online casino gambling blog, you can see what's on the website, the links to all the different sections of the website.

That's me, Simon, thank you for visiting.

Don't worry, this is not an ad! ;) Just wanted to make sure to tell you that I'm glad you visited this gambling blog. I'm Simon, the only author and the man behind this blog (if you are interested, my unusual life story can be found on the homepage, under the "About me" dropdown section).
I'm an independent gambling blogger since 2012. In this sector dominated by huge media companies, casino operators and online marketing networks, who can easily spend $ millions on their online gambling blogs, it's not easy for an independent nobody like me to survive. It took me about 6 years, working my ass off, to even have a chance to be noticed by visitors like you. I'm lucky enough that for a few years now, I make enough money to be able to do this full time (before that, I had part-time jobs, ghost writing gigs, online marketing this and that).
Now I can finally do this full time, thanks to visitors like you! And it means a lot! If you are interested, please bookmark this site (no social media profiles, I no longer have any, but please feel free to share anything on any social media networks, if you still use them). I don't have any money to advertise, and if you have a personal blog, any social media profile, please mention my gambling blog and link back to it. This the only way for a small website like this to grow. Thank you!

Logo of Kiva.org. You can read about my non-profit activity right next to the picture.
Charity: As a way to help others, to give back, I sometimes donate to Kiva. If you click on the ads on the website, I make some money. And in a good month, if I make more than my expenses, I donate to people and projects on Kiva.
Kiva helps young entrepreneurs in developing countries, which is an issue close to my heart for obvious reasons. If you have the means, please sign up with the revolutionary non-profit company Kiva.org and help people lift themselves out of poverty, through hard-work, and an initial investment (non-profit loan). These non-profit loans encourage entrepreneurship and hard work instead of creating a dependent class that is afraid to get a job, or start a business (because if they did, they would no longer get support and free money, disincentivizing hard work and entrepreneurship). This is the right way to fight poverty in developing countries (or anywhere else really), and if this is something you are interested in, and if you would like to know more, or to help out, please check out Kiva.org here. Thank you!
