Tau said the illegal gambling websites are registered and licensed overseas.

“The National Gambling Board did not engage with the operators of the illegal gambling websites, and operators did not block their illegal sites,” he said.

Tau revealed this when he was responding to parliamentary questions from Rise Mzansi MP Songezo Zibi, who enquired about the approaches used by the NGB to identify illegal gambling websites and the engagements undertaken by the board with South African network operators to block illegal online gambling websites in the past five financial years, among other things.
