South African casino gambling has taken a boost recently as many of the internet's best online casinos have started to cater specifically to local players. These online casinos are accepting South African Rands as primary currency for deposits, and they're letting South Africans enjoy casino gambling in Rands.

Prestige Casino is one of the better online casinos out there doing this. The game software that you download is extremely pretty, and runs fast and smooth even on PCs that weren't bought this morning. Actually you don't even have to download the software – they have a flash version that runs right inside your browser so no need to endure the lengthy downloads.

Their welcome bonus is insane. Just for signing up, you are rewarded with the biggest No Deposit Online Casino Gambling Bonus - €/$1,500 Free Spins to try out the casino, and you can make as much as you can in one hour. When you're ready to deposit, get 100% match on your first deposit, or you can split up your bonus over your first 2 deposits to total the massive €/$800. Genuine! And as if that wasn't enough, you also get an added 10% extra if you make your deposits using one of Prestige Casino's alternative deposit methods. Serious incentive! Overall, fun, clean, above-board South African casino gambling.
