To fulfil its mission of promoting responsible gambling and protecting players from unfair treatment, the Board issues licenses for gambling activities while maintaining stringent industry oversight. This approach ensures the industry’s integrity and fairness, making it a safer space for all participants that engage in gambling at brick and mortar shops and online betting sites in South Africa.
