South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal rules against bookmakers offering roulette bets
South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal ruled that bookmakers cannot offer fixed-odds bets on casino games, including roulette, under the Gauteng Gambling Act, according to the National Gambling Board. The NGB said the ruling’s implications extend nationally and urged bookmakers to stop offering casino-style games; it also called on provincial licensing authorities to monitor compliance.
Bookmakers may need to change offerings that the court ruled unlawful, while provincial authorities are asked to enforce compliance.
