Simon’s Guide to Online Casinos in Eswatini – formerly known as Swaziland

Online casino gambling is legal in Swaziland, in  practice at least. The Kingdom of Eswatini, popularly known as Swaziland, is located in Southern Africa and is bordered by Mozambique and South Africa. Swaziland had been a British protectorate from 1903 until the country gained its independence in 1968. Today, English remains one of the official languages in the country, along with Swazi.

Online casino gambling is de facto legal in Swaziland, even though there seems to be no legal framework explicitly regulating online casino gambling in the country. In accordance with the Swazi gambling laws, casino gambling in general is legal, but the laws mention no specific provisions concerning online casino gambling.

However, online casinos do exist in Swaziland – in fact, the first online casino in the country was established quite early. The Piggs Peak brick and mortar casino received a licence from the Swazi government to offer their games online as well as offline. Piggs Peak casino is run by Casino Enterprises Ltd, which also owned the Volcanic Gold online casino site (Volcanic Gold appears to be no longer available).

Casino Enterprises Ltd was issued the licences based on their physical casino services. While there have been talks of formalizing the online casino regulations by amending the Swazi gambling laws, there seems to have been no such modification. The online casino gambling scene in Swaziland is also quite limited for now; especially regarding withdrawal options.

Due to the location of Swaziland, it was quite logical for the local online casinos to tap into the significantly larger player base of South Africa. However, the  South African authorities did not take kindly to Swazi casinos encroaching on the local markets. Casino Enterprises lost a suit in 2011, and was forced to ban South African players from its online casinos.

While foreigners are not allowed to play in the online casinos of Swaziland, locals are free to play in international online casinos. Most of these online casino sites welcome players from Swaziland.

Similarly to online casinos, brick and mortar casino gambling is also legal in Swaziland. In fact, the company operating the land-based casinos of the country is Casino Enterprises, the same as the one running the Swazi online casinos. Online casino licences appear to be an extension of regular casino licences in the country, although it is not clear whether it is issued to operators by default or they have to actively apply for one.

There are currently three casinos in operation in Swaziland, which is quite a lot for a country of such a small size – Swaziland has a population of less than 1.5 million people. Unsurprisingly, the Swazi casinos are mainly aimed at tourists who can better afford to risk their money on casino games, although locals are allowed to play in the casinos as well.

The largest casino in Swaziland is the Royal Swazi Casino located in Mbabane, the executive capital of the country. The casino has over 150 slot machines on offer, as well as table games including Blackjack, Poker and Roulette.The casino is part of a larger resort complex with three restaurants, a spa and a tennis court, as well as two hotels.

Most forms of online gambling do not appear to be specifically regulated in Swaziland. Online gambling in some forms, such as the previously mentioned online casinos, is definitely allowed, or at least not prohibited. it appears that, due to this lack of regulation, gambling companies are generally free to offer their games online as well.

As the land-based casinos in Swaziland offer poker games, it follows logically that they would make online poker available as well. That had once been the case, but when South African players had to banned from Swazi online casinos, these online poker rooms had to be shut down due to a lack of players. There are also no online lotteries in Swaziland – in fact, no lotteries whatsoever as the national lottery shut down in 2005.

While the local online gambling options are very limited in Swaziland, the locals are free to play on international online gambling sites. Most international online poker, online sports betting and online lottery sites welcome players from Swaziland.
