- 2008Launched
When online casinos first hit the scene in South Africa in the late 2000’s, we were one of the first sites to join in on all the excitement. Our aim was to provide South African gambling enthusiasts with a platform that would help them to find the best online casinos and also guides that explain how things work in the iGaming sphere.
- 2010News
We soon realised that the online casino industry was booming and that more and more players relied on our portal. Gamers wanted to read casino reviews, guides on banking options, game rules and they also required information on all the different promotions. Because the industry was growing exponentially, we decided to add a news section to keep players updated with gambling news.
- 2015Redesign
In 2015, only 5 years after our initial launch, we became a household name in the online gaming community in South Africa. We decided to compile a larger selection of the best table and slot games and because of this we took the next step and redesigned our site. This gave us the opportunity to add even more reviews and guides.
- 2016Lottery Results
Player feedback was and still is, the most important driving force behind our site and at the end of 2016, we decided to add Lottery results. At this stage, online casinos were booming in South Africa and we saw the arrival of gambling experts joining our team, delivering honest unbiased reviews and guides based on their vast experience in the industry.
- 2018Sportsbook
In 2018 sports betting made its debut online and because South Africans, in general, are sports fanatics, we decided to add this section to our page. This exciting development saw a massive increase in traffic on our site which meant that we had to move our site to a different platform.
- 2019WordPress
WordPress gave us the opportunity to expand which in turn gave players the opportunity to access more reviews, game and banking guides, gambling news, and of course, everything related to sportsbooks.
- 2020Big Redesign
And, along with the new platform came a big redesign, making the site more user-friendly and engaging, aiming towards an entertaining and fantastic player experience.
- TodayOver 200 Casino Reviews & New Design
Today, Playcasino is the number 1 online gaming portal for South African players. We constantly test, review and update our site and because we put players first, we have become a trusted name in the South African gambling arena.
