Online casinos in South Africa, ranked

One list, every brand, each with the licence it actually holds and the number to check it against. A Western Cape bookmaker licence and a Curacao or Anjouan one are not the same thing: each brand's review says which one it holds and where a complaint goes. How we rate

Reading the licence line

South African bookmakers are licensed province by province: the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board issues the most online licences, with Mpumalanga, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, the Northern Cape and others running their own registers. A licence number in that format can be checked against the board that issued it.

More on what each licence means

Brands licensed in Curacao or on Anjouan accept South African players and settle in rand, but they are regulated somewhere else, and a dispute goes to a regulator on another continent rather than to a provincial board here. Neither the National Gambling Act nor a provincial board covers them. That is the practical difference the row is showing you, and it is worth more than a label.

Where a row says "No licence stated on its own site", we did not find one stated on the operator's own site. We would rather say so than guess at a regulatory record. Our guide to the legal position sets out how the law actually reads.
