Eastern Cape MEC Demands Full Gambling Legalization

“If you are wondering how technology is impacting the gaming industry, then you need to look no further than how a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin has revolutionized the realm of online users,” he said.

Mvoko said that the gambling industry provides Africans with another source of recreation, and also generates tax revenue and employment. Because of the gambling industry, he said, the Eastern Cape’s economy grew by over R985 million over the last five years. Unfortunately, a global economic crisis has brought about a direct decline of the industry.

“It is therefore critical that alternative industries like legalized gaming are enhanced to diversify our economic base,” he said.

The 15th Gaming Regulators Africa was themed on the very subject discussed by MEC Mvoku: “Fourth Industrial Revolution and its Impact on Gaming in Africa.” The conference focused on global economy shifts and this impacts the world gaming industry as a whole, and Africa as a continent.

• Angola
• Botswana
• Ghana
• Kenya
• Malawi
• Mauritius
• Mozambique
• Namibia
• South Africa
• Seychelles
• Swaziland
