Education and Awareness

The National Gambling Board (NGB) has noted with concern that the issue of the legality of online or interactive gambling is the subject of debate in some circles.

The National Gambling Act, 2004 (Act 7 of 2004) (“the NGA”) defines an “interactive game” as “a gambling game played or available to be played through the mechanism of an electronic agent accessed over the Internet other than a game that can be accessed for play only in licensed premises, and only if the licensee of any such premises is authorised to make such a game available for play.”
