South Africa’s National Gambling Board steps up action against unlawful online gambling
South Africa’s National Gambling Board said on 25 August 2025 that it had intensified efforts with provincial licensing authorities and law enforcement agencies to address unlawful online gambling. The board said the National Gambling Act prohibits offering or playing interactive games online unless authorised by national law, and warned that related winnings remitted to it would be forfeited to the state.
Operators offering unauthorised online games risk having related winnings remitted to the board forfeited to the state.
