Eswatini Casinos Guide (on the picture: Happy Valley Casino in Lobamba, one of the two capitals of the country)

This is a guide to brick and mortar as well as online casinos in Eswatini (officially the the Kingdom of Eswatini, formerly Swaziland, a small African country with a population of around 1 million, formerly a British colony). Find out which are the best land-based casinos and licensed online casino sites in Eswatini, or learn more about the legal status of casino gambling in the country.

Online casinos in Eswatini

Legal status of digital casinos in Eswatini: legal, operators require a licence

 

Online casinos are legal in Eswatini.

Even though the casino gambling legislation (details below, in the next section) of the country does not mention or explicitly regulate internet casinos the following court case illustrates that the existing brick & mortar casino laws apply to digital casino gambling platforms as well:

In 1998, in the court case of Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa vs. Piggs Peak Casino (Casino Enterprises Ltd., which also operated Volcano Gold Casino) declared the the Eswatini licensed casino website Piggs Peak can not legally accept players from South Africa (without a local licence, which were at that time not issued by the authorities of the country).

/Comment: Official documents prior to 2018 refer to Eswatini as Swaziland. The country underwent a name change in 2018, and now the official name of the country is The Kingdom of Eswatini./

This means that there is a licensing process in place (an extension of land-based casino licences, details can be found below, in the Swaziland online casino licencing section).

In 2007 the South African Pretoria High Court banned all Eswatini licensed gambling websites from accepting wagers from South African residents. This put an end ot the first Swazi online casino, which went bankrupt shortly after (however, the brick & mortar casino is still in operation, it’s called Piggs Peak Hotel and Casino and it can be found in the casino list below).

UPDATE 2022: Piggs Peak online casino seems to be in operation once more. It is unknown, who owns the Eswatini digital casino currently (we couldn’t find any information about the owners).

The ruling also forbids Swazi online casinos from advertising in South Africa. And ever since the verdict, and subsequent failed appeal attempts, none of the Eswatini digital casinos accept SA players (although, international online gambling companies, with Eswatini licensed subsidiaries still accept players from South Africa, through the main company, you can see a list of such digital casinos below).

Unsurprisingly, considering the small size and relatively underdeveloped economy of the country, there are barely any domestic Eswatini online casinos currently, to the best of our knowledge. We only know of Piggs Peak online casino, which reopened, possibly under new management (we couldn’t find any information about the owners).

However, international online casinos with Swazi subsidiaries can also acquire licences (provided they also operate casino hotels, and/or they are in partnership with companies with an Eswatini casino licence, details below).

By scrolling below you can find a list of online casinos, which accept Eswatini players.

 

Can tourists play online while visiting Eswatini?

Yes, tourists, expats (or illegal migrants) can play freely online while they enjoy their stay in Eswatini.

 

Online casino licensing and regulatory body of Eswatini:

The Gaming Board of Eswatini is responsible for issuing online casino licences and for regulating the digital gambling sector.

The Gaming Board is part of the Ministry of Tourism, Environmental Affairs and Communication.

They do not maintain any online presence and therefore you have to contact the Ministry of Tourism if you wish to acquire an online gambling licence.

Standalone online casino licenses are not issued to companies. Only land-based casino hotels with a valid licence can apply for an online casino licence extension. The requirements and fees associated with such a digital wagering licence are not known.

If you have any information about the Swazi online casino licensing process please leave a comment at the bottom of the page, thank you.

Taxation of online casino sites in Eswatini:

The tax rates paid by digital casino in Eswatini are unknown, because they are set by the authorities, separately, for each online casino, on a case-by-case basis.

The Eswatini gambling tax rates are set by the 1970 Licensing of Bookmakers and Taxation Act2 (superseding the 1917 Licensing of Bookmakers and Taxation Act).

However, this act makes no mention of online gambling in any capacity, and we don’t know if the taxes paid by casinos are applicable to online casinos.

Additionally, casino tax rates are set by the Swazi tax authorities (details can be found in the next section), for each casino licence separately, on a case-by-case basis, which means there is no single unified casino tax rate. Therefore, we just simply do not know the tax rates applicable to digital casinos.

Gambling revenue is VAT exempt3.

UPDATE: The land-based casino tax rate applies to the online casino gambling activity of a brick & mortar casino, which has acquired an online casino licence extension4.

 

For the players, taxation of online casino gambling winnings in Eswatini:

Unknown, there is no information available online about the taxation of online casino gambling winnings in Eswatini. If you know anything about how online gambling winnings are taxed in Eswatini please leave a comment at the bottom of the page.

Land-based casinos in Eswatini

Legal status of casinos in Eswatini: legal since 1963, operators require a licence, slot halls are also legal

 

Casinos are legal in Eswatini since 1963 (predating the country’s independence in 1968, from the British Empire), according to the 1963 Casino Act1.

The first casino in the country opened in 1965, it was the Royal Swazi Spa Hotel complex in the Ezulwini valley, which belonged to the The Holiday Inn Group.

/Comment: The casino is called Happy Valley Hotel Ezulwini nowadays./

Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) has a thriving tourism sector, by Sub Saharan African standards, and receives 1.2 million visitors per year2 (disclaimer: although this is the number of visitors, not all of these visitors are tourists),

UPDATE 2022: These are pre-coronavirus numbers, the post-coronavirus numbers are not yet known at the time of writing (the last official data is from 2018).

As a result, the small country has more casinos than one would expect from a small Sub Saharan African country with a population of 1 million. Eswatini has 5 casino hotels currently (down from 6, prior to COVID-19), although further closures due to the global pandemic are not unlikely.

UPDATE: Royal Swazi Spa Hotel closed due to financial difficulties, most likely primarily caused by the global coronavirus pandemic5. This means that there are only 5 casinos in the kingdom currently (there were 6 prior to the pandemic).

The biggest casino in Eswatini is Happy Valley Hotel & Casino (formerly it was the Royal Swazi Spa Hotel).

The biggest casino group in the country is Casino Enterprises Ltd. (the same company we have mentioned in the Swazi online casino section above).

You can find all the currently operating brick and mortar casinos in the list below.

 

Can locals visit the casinos in Eswatini?

Locals can also visit the casino in Eswatini.

 

Casino licensing and regulatory body of Eswatini:

The Gaming Board of Eswatini is responsible for issuing casino licences and for regulating the gambling sector.

The Gaming Board is part of the Ministry of Tourism, Environmental Affairs and Communication.

They do not maintain any online presence and therefore you have to contact the Ministry of Tourism if you wish to acquire an online gambling licence.

Slot halls are illegal, only casino hotels are legal. Standalone casinos are also not possible, the gaming venues must be attached to hotels.

Because the Gaming Board does not maintain a website, the requirements, process and fees of a casino license are not known.

If you have any information about the Swazi casino licensing process please leave a comment at the bottom of the page, thank you.

 

Taxation of brick & mortar gambling establishments in Eswatini:

The Eswatini gambling tax rates are set by the 1970 Licensing of Bookmakers and Taxation Act2 (superseding the 1917 Licensing of Bookmakers and Taxation Act)

The tax rates paid by Swazi brick & mortar casinos are set by the authorities on a case-by-case basis, for each individual casino licence separately. There is no unified casino gambling tax rate to the best of our knowledge.

Gambling revenue is VAT exempt4.

Casino taxes are payable in addition to licensing fees and regular taxes (e.g.: corporate tax, which is 27.5%).

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!

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!
