As the Department of Trade and Industry announced, the Supreme Court of South Africa ruled that several people lost their winnings from gambling online games, about the size of about £ 1.25 million, because they were obtained illegally. In a Saturday statement, the department indicated that the case had become unprecedented for the country.

South African officials have repeatedly expressed fears that online gambling can be used to camouflage money laundering and other illegal transactions. To prevent this, the National Council of Gambling works in close contact with local banks, the latter helping the regulator and law enforcement agencies to confiscate illegal gambling from online gambling.

The Department of Trade and Industry noted that people who play on the Internet not only confiscate their winnings, they are also prosecuted. Persons who provide services for illegal gambling will also be prosecuted under the law.

Bingo halls, saloons with slot machines, ground casinos, and betting are legal options for gambling under the Gambling Law in South Africa. As for online gambling, South Africans are only allowed to place sports betting on desktop or mobile devices. Show less
