18+Gambling in South Africa. Land-based casinos, licensed bookmakers and the National Lottery are regulated by the National Gambling Board and the provincial licensing authorities. Under section 11 of the National Gambling Act 2004, interactive (online casino) gambling is not licensed in South Africa, and in February 2026 the National Gambling Board confirmed that remote gambling servers fall under the same prohibition. Operators listed here that hold no South African licence are marked as such on every card. Nothing on this site is legal advice.
