ACCORDING to 2023/2024 statistics by the National Gambling Board, online betting, betting on non-sports, casino slot machines and betting on sports, were among the highest forms of gambling in South Africa.
Sibongile Simelane-Quntana, the executive director at the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation, said there had also been an increase with those who struggled with gambling.
“In the 2024/2025 financial year, the National Responsible Gambling Programme (NRGP) counselling line saw an increase in referrals of 55% to 4 166 (from 2 662 in 2023/2024).
