Legal Landscape In South Africa

As an online casino and gambling publication, we recognize the importance of adhering to the legal framework in South Africa. We conducted a thorough analysis of the relevant laws and regulations governing online gambling in the country. Our editorial principles are designed to ensure compliance with these laws, promoting responsible gambling practices, and providing accurate information that aligns with the legal requirements.


The legal landscape of the South African online casino industry is somewhat of a grey area that is continually updating and difficult to navigate. We keep our finger on the pulse of the latest laws and regulations, keeping our readers informed of the latest developments.

Privacy Policy

We highly value the privacy and security of our readers. Our privacy policy serves as a guiding document that outlines how we handle personal information, including data collection, storage, and usage. The principles we have developed align with our commitment to protecting user privacy, ensuring that any data we collect is handled responsibly and in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI Act).

Rating Guidelines

To maintain transparency and provide meaningful information to our readers, we have established rating guidelines for reviewing online casinos and gambling operators. These guidelines help our editorial team evaluate various aspects such as security, game selection, customer support, payment options, and bonuses. By adhering to these guidelines, we strive to deliver fair and unbiased assessments that assist our readers in making informed decisions.
