Eswatini lawmakers pass motion to regulate online gambling
Eswatini’s House of Assembly passed a motion urging Tourism and Environmental Affairs Minister Jane Simelane to establish a central framework for monitoring online gambling platforms. The motion seeks protections for minors and support for people experiencing gambling addiction; lawmakers said the 2022 Gaming Act does not cover online platforms.
The motion could lead to a regulatory framework for online operators in a market lawmakers say is outside current legislation.
