SABA urges tougher laws to crack down on illegal offshore gambling

# The South African Bookmakers Association says urgent legislative action is needed to tackle illegal offshore gambling. The association has welcomed the National Gambling Board’s efforts to block illegal gambling websites, as the government has laws banning illegal online gambling but lacks effective enforcement. SABA’s Sean Coleman calls for stronger laws, tighter payment controls and better coordination between regulators and law enforcement to protect consumers and curb billions of rand lost to illegal offshore operators each year.
