WHAT IS ILLEGAL GAMING?
Illegal gambling occurs when an unlicensed operator offers gambling products to the
public who in turn participate in unlicensed gambling. Illegal gambling usually takes
place in shebeens, taverns, restaurants and shops often disguised as something else.
People who are found offering or participating in illegal gambling shall be arrested and
prosecuted.
Any member of the public who becomes aware of the existence of illegal operators must
report it to the Gauteng Gambling Board or the SAPS at any police station.
Forms of illegal gambling
The following are perceived as forms of illegal gaming:
Ø Fafhee (mochina)
Ø Card games for money (e.g. five cards, poker, blackjack) outside of
casino premises
Ø Dice or Pop-dice
Ø Slot machines (gambling machines) outside of licensed premises
Ø Internet or online gambling
Risk associated with illegal gambling
Ø Games offered to punters have not been inspected and approved by
the Board to show compliance with the technical standards aimed at
ensuring, amongst others, that the games offered are fair.
Ø Illegal operators do not pay tax and as a result they do not contribute to
the economic development of the Province.
Ø Illegal operators do not contribute towards industry initiatives, such
as the National Responsible Gambling Programme, which is aimed at
minimising the risks and dangers of gambling.
Ø Disputes arising from punters cannot be resolved due to the fact that they
do not know where to report and at times their lives may be threatened
by illegal operators.
Ø Gambling debts arising out of these activities cannot be enforced in a
competent court
