Online gambling tax coming to South Africa

A proposed online gambling tax in South Africa could generate over R10 billion, a significant windfall for the government. Despite the revenue potential, online interactive gambling remains illegal in the country, with licensed bookmakers allowed to operate only through sports betting. This raises questions about the fairness of taxing a grey area, where the country's R74.9 billion gross gambling revenue has seen a 26.2% increase in just one year.
