Recently our new News reporter Glenn Baird published an article for us on the recent developments in the South African markets (You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.). Specifically this article focuses on the decision of the South African regulator theYou do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.(NGB) to target players in their efforts to stamp out online gambling.
It is being reported by various sources that the NGB have worked with various banks to identify online gamblers and have confiscated R1.25m (~£70k) from players.
This money is being presented as winnings but is likely to simply be withdrawals, meaning that the impacted players could easily have endured losses overall via play and the funds that have be confiscated in fact would not have made these players overall winners. To establish whether the confiscated funds were “winnings” would require the cooperation of the involved casinos, something that’s unlikely to happen.
