The National Gambling Amendment Bill, tabled by trade and industry minister Mandisi Mpahlwa, notes that the interactive gambling industry - or remote gambling taking place through the Internet or other related forms - must be strictly controlled for the prevention of crime and the protection of players, problem gamblers and the underaged.
In terms of the proposed bill, interactive providers may not extend credit to any person "for the purpose of engaging in interactive games".
An interactive provider must immediately credit the account of a player who wins a monetary prize. A player must have an account with an authorised financial institution. And players must be 18 years or older.
