The first and probably the safest step when choosing an Online Casino in South Africa , is that you must choose a licensed casino.  All South African casinos irrespective whether it’s land or online casinos HAVE to have a license to gamble.  They operate under the rules and regulations of the gambling jurisdiction that governs their licensing terms.

Next one would look at the type of gambling games that the casino offers, like black jack, roulette and poker are ones which are most commonly known. The next step in choosing a online casino in South African  is to look at their Welcome bonuses.  Very important to remember is that the bigger the Welcome bonus, the better and the more reputable the casino is.

Anyone who has ever gambled knows how exciting it is to take a chance of winning cash and prizes alike, and that’s no different to South Africans who now use technology to indulge in this part time exciting activity. Unfortunately as it stands right now, it is illegal to gamble in online casino in South Africa.  This decision was taken by the South African North high court which ruled that the act of gambling must take place on the user’s computer, and not on the online gambling site itself.

The Supreme Court of appeal upheld this decision, and effectively put an end to online casino gambling in South African. As it stands right now in 2012, any online casino in South Africa that takes bets from online users, and actually pays out the winnings could face a R10 million rand in fine or 3 years imprisonment or both. This means that all South Africa’s online casinos are there for practice purposes only, and not to actually gamble, so be careful not to get caught, hopefully one day online casino in South Africa will be legal again.
