South African party introduces long-awaited online gambling bill
South African party introduces long-awaited online gambling bill. Currently, South African law allows online betting to be offered by any operator with a licence issued by a provincial authority. However, the country does not have a full legislative framework, as the National Gambling Amendment Act of 2008 never came into force.
South African party introduces long-awaited online gambling bill. It covers five points. The bill will regulate the issuing of licenses, the regulation of gambling ads and the protection of minors and vulnerable persons. Stakeholders may submit their views on the bill to the Speaker of the National Assembly.
