South Africa’s FATF Grey List Exit is Good News for the Gambling Industry

Softswiss Cyber Security

South Africa has officially been removed from the FATF grey list — a global watchlist for countries with weaknesses in preventing money laundering and terrorist financing. While this might sound like a technical issue, it has real benefits for the local gambling industry. Being off the list means smoother payments, more trust from financial institutions, and fewer delays for both online casino operators and players.

Over the past three years, South Africa made a number of changes to strengthen its financial systems. This included tightening up rules and improving how crimes like money laundering are detected and prevented. These reforms helped convince the FATF to remove South Africa from the grey list — a move welcomed across many industries, especially gambling, where reliable and fast financial transactions are essential.

Constitutional Court Rules on Tax Treatment of Casino Loyalty Credits in South Africa

Tsogo Sun

The Constitutional Court of South Africa has ruled that 'freeplay' credits – non- cashable loyalty rewards given to players by casinos – must be included in taxable revenue calculations under the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Act and Eastern Cape Gambling Act. The judgment came after two major casino operators sought clarity on whether these incentives should be excluded from the definition of "adjusted gross revenue".

In a unanimous decision, the Court held that replay value forms part of taxable revenue. Justice Kollapen noted that the dispute was strictly a matter of interpreting provincial legislation, and not one that raised constitutional questions.

Micro-Gambling and Mobile Betting Reshape Africa’s Gambling Industry

Botswana’s Gambling Authority Issues 16 New Licences

Africa’s gambling market is evolving rapidly, with micro-gambling becoming a defining trend. A 2025 GeoPoll survey conducted in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda found that more than 60 per cent of African bettors now prefer placing frequent, low-stake wagers over high-value bets.
