Eswatini drafts gambling rules and moves to block minors’ betting access
Eswatini’s authorities are working with gaming operators and telecom companies to block secondary mobile wallet numbers registered to children under 18, Tourism and Environmental Affairs Minister Jane Mkhonta-Simelane told the House of Assembly. Draft regulations under the Gaming Control Act have been completed and are under stakeholder review; proposals include player-protection tools and a rehabilitation fund.
The measures would affect age checks and player-protection requirements for gambling operators in Eswatini.
