The National Gambling Board (NGB) has launched an online portal listing licensed gambling operators in South Africa as part of ongoing efforts to combat illegal gambling, both online and offshore. The portal aims to protect the public and the economy by providing a centralized, accessible, and regularly updated list of legally authorized operators. Acting NGB CEO Lungile Dukwana emphasized the portal's role in safeguarding South Africans from illegal gambling and ensuring a safe, regulated environment for those who choose to gamble. The initiative comes as billions of rands in gambling revenue are estimated to be flowing offshore annually, with thousands of illegal websites targeting South Africans. The NGB hopes the portal will strengthen oversight, accountability, and collaboration among law enforcement, tax authorities, and financial institutions. The South African Responsible Gambling Foundation offers support for those affected by problem gambling.
