WHAT IS ILLEGAL GAMING?

Illegal gambling occurs when an unlicensed operator offers gambling products to the public who in turn participate in unlicensed gambling. Illegal gambling usually takes place in shebeens, taverns, restaurants and shops often disguised as something else.

People who are found offering or participating in illegal gambling shall be arrested and prosecuted.

Any member of the public who becomes aware of the existence of illegal operators must report it to the Gauteng Gambling Board or the SAPS at any police station.

The following are perceived as forms of illegal gaming:

Ø Fafhee (mochina)ØCard games for money (e.g. five cards, poker, blackjack) outside of

casino premisesØDice or Pop-diceØ Slot machines (gambling machines) outside of licensed premisesØ Internet or online gambling

ØGames offered to punters have not been inspected and approved by the Board to show compliance with the technical standards aimed at ensuring, amongst others, that the games offered are fair.

Ø Illegal operators do not pay tax and as a result they do not contribute to the economic development of the Province.

Ø Illegal operators do not contribute towards industry initiatives, such as the National Responsible Gambling Programme, which is aimed at minimising the risks and dangers of gambling.

ØDisputes arising from punters cannot be resolved due to the fact that they do not know where to report and at times their lives may be threatened by illegal operators.

ØGambling debts arising out of these activities cannot be enforced in a competent court
