SABA says South African ruling limits roulette betting only in Gauteng
The South African Bookmakers’ Association said a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling bars licensed bookmakers from offering roulette betting in Gauteng, where the provincial law limits them to sporting events. SABA said the judgment does not impose a nationwide ban on roulette or other casino-game betting, which it said is governed by provincial laws. The association also disputed claims that bookmakers’ fixed-odds bets constitute interactive gambling.
The interpretation affects which betting products licensed bookmakers may offer in Gauteng and other provinces.
