South Africa’s NGB explains verified operators portal data and status
South Africa’s National Gambling Board said its Verified Gambling Operators portal uses information supplied by the nine Provincial Licensing Authorities, which issue and manage licences. The NGB said a “CLOSED” listing does not by itself indicate illegal gambling, and confirmed that licensed bookmakers authorised to offer online sports betting appear on the register.
Operators and consumers can distinguish portal status labels from evidence of unlawful activity.
