South Africa’s gambling crisis worsens, with rising addiction among the poor, illegal sites dominating revenue, and calls for urgent reform.
South Africa faces a deepening gambling crisis, with rising addiction among the poor, including social grant recipients and students, driven by poverty and unemployment.
Over R1.5 trillion in gambling activity occurred in the past year, with R75bn in revenue and 60% from illegal offshore sites.
Despite R5bn in operator profits, only R6bn in taxes were paid, and just R74m spent on rehab versus R2.6bn on ads.
Lawmakers and advocacy groups demand urgent reforms, including ad restrictions, warning labels, and modernizing the outdated 2004 Gambling Act, with a Responsible Gambling Summit planned for November.
