    The Gambling Industry in South Africa

    The gambling industry is recovering from the loss of business during the pandemic when casinos and bars were shut. However, industry sources say casino and bingo revenues are still below pre-pandemic levels, with the rebound being driven by betting and limited payout machines. The effects of the lockdown resulted in a shift in market share, largely to online betting. This trend is expected to continue, as the steady decline in the revenue market share of casinos has been going on for years. New products and the borderless online environment bring direct competition to traditional gambling establishments and deprive the country of licensing and tax revenue.

    Trends

    Some of the most popular forms of gambling in South Africa include casino betting, sports betting, and bingo. The industry is growing despite the poor economy, driven by online and sports betting. Illegal online gambling is difficult to monitor and regulate. The popularity of horse racing has been declining in recent years in favour of sports betting. South Africa’s sports betting sector centres around rugby, soccer, cricket, and horse racing. Bets can also be placed on the top US sports leagues.

    Report Coverage

    This report on the South African Gambling Industry includes comprehensive information on the sector and its subsectors including the lottery, casinos, limited payout machines, bingo and betting including betting on horse racing. There are profiles of 21 companies and national and provincial gambling boards in the sector. Profiled companies include major players such as Tsogo Sun, which completed the unbundling of its hotel division and Sun International, which announced plans to increase its holding in hotel and casino resort Sibaya and is in negotiations to make an acquisition in Chile. Others include Ithuba, which manages the lottery and Phumelela Gaming and Leisure, a major player in horse racing.

    The South African Gambling Industry

    South Africa’s gambling industry reported mixed results last year. While the casino segment continued to generate the lion’s share of total gross gambling revenue, its market share declined markedly as bingo, betting and limited payout machines became popular. Online gambling had been increasingly taking share from on-the-ground casinos and other betting outlets. Although casinos generated higher revenues than other forms of gambling, the National Lottery attracted the highest number of players.

    Coronavirus

    Horse racing and sports events have been cancelled or postponed indefinitely since the coronavirus outbreak, and totalisators, casinos, bingo halls and other gambling establishments have been closed until further notice. While the traditional gambling industry is facing unparalleled losses, online gambling sites have reported a surge in activity since the national lockdown came into effect on 27 March 2020. While online casinos worldwide have reported a sharp increase in gambling, as lockdown periods are extended and financial stresses intensify, analysts say that people may become increasingly hesitant to spend money on non-essential pastimes, such as gambling. There are also concerns about the slow resumption of business at casinos once the lockdown ends.

    Report Coverage

    This report on the South African Gambling Industry includes comprehensive information on the sector and its subsectors including the lottery, casinos, limited payout machines, bingo and betting including betting on horse racing. There are profiles of 20 companies and national and provincial gambling boards in the sector. Profiled companies include major players such as Tsogo Sun, which completed the unbundling of its hotel division and Sun International, which announced plans to increase its holding in hotel and casino resort Sibaya and is in negotiations to make an acquisition in Chile.

    The South African Gambling Industry

    The fortunes of South Africa’s gambling industry were mixed during the past year. Although the casino segment continues to generate the lion’s share of total gross gambling revenue, its market share has declined markedly as bingo, betting, limited payout machines become popular. Online gambling is increasingly taking share from on-the-ground casinos and other betting outlets. Although casinos generate higher revenues than other forms of gambling, the National Lottery attracts the highest number of players.

    Regulatory Changes

    The industry is heavily regulated and licensing is strictly controlled. The gambling regulatory framework is set to shift markedly when the National Gambling Amendment Bill is approved. In its current form, the bill provides for new offences and the forfeiture of illegal winnings, revised definitions covering bingo, limited payout machines, online gambling and advertising, the restructuring of the National Gambling Board into a National Gambling Regulator and the introduction of a self-regulating body for the horse racing industry. This and other regulatory changes such as the Liquor Amendment Bill, the proposed gambling levy and proposals in Gauteng to change casino tax may change the fortunes of some casino and betting operators.

    Report Coverage

    This report examines the South African gambling industry, focusing on casinos, betting, limited payout machines, bingo and the National Lottery. Current conditions, the regulatory environment, legislative changes and other factors that influence the success of the sector are covered in this detailed report. Profiles for 13 companies are provided, including Ithuba Holdings, which is the licensed operator of the National Lottery, and Phumelela Gaming and Leisure Ltd, which provides betting opportunities primarily on horseracing via its totalisator system and a network of 143 TAB outlets, 72 agencies, 85 Betting World outlets, an internet betting site, cellular phone and telephone betting (telebet) centres.

    The South African Gambling Sector

    In the 2016/2017 financial year the local gambling sector achieved gross gambling revenue (GGR) of some R27bn and supported more than 70,000 jobs. While the casino segment continues to lead the market, GGR at casinos declined in 2017 for the first time in the history of the industry. The trend of relatively consistent double digit growth in gambling modes other than casinos has seen the overall market share shift significantly since 2010, when casinos accounted for some 85% of revenue. Currently casinos account for two-thirds of the market while other segments have made enormous gains, albeit from relatively low bases.

    Increasing Competition

    Casinos are facing growing competition from other gambling modes including illegal online gambling, which according to the Casino Association of South Africa (CASA) and the National Gambling Board (NGB), is a major concern for the health and future of the industry. The overall betting segment is also becoming more of a threat to the casino sector, growing 14.3% to a value of R5.09bn in 2017. It is now the second-largest gambling mode in South Africa, with horse racing accounting for 42.7% of the betting market, approximately R2.17bn, and sports and online betting accounting for the remaining 57.3%, valued at R2.91bn.

    Report Coverage

    The report on the Gambling industry focuses on the size of sector, where R358.4bn was wagered during the 2015/2016 financial period, recent developments and factors influencing the success of players in the formal sector. The report profiles 16 companies, ranging from the major casino operators to companies in the growing sports betting segment. These include online sports betting websites, Clickabet (Pty) Ltd, Netbet (Pty) Ltd t/a Sportingbet and Sunbet, part of Sun International.

    The South African Gambling Sector

    The South African gambling industry which includes casino gambling, sports betting, Limited Payout Machines (LPMs), the National Lottery and bingo achieved gross gambling revenue (GGR) of R26.3bn in 2016 and paid R2.8bn in taxes and levies. In the sector there are six casino operators, dominated by Tsogo Sun, Sun International and Peermont Global, 11,235 active LPMs and approximately 400 South African bookmaker outlets. Casinos employ 24,300 people and the industry as a whole, including non-gambling services such as hospitality and catering, indirectly supports more than 64,000 jobs.

    A Regulated Sector

    The industry is highly regulated with nine provincial gambling regulators responsible for the issuing of casino, bookmaker and LPM licences. Local gambling authorities fall under the purview of the National Gambling Board (NGB) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). The National Gambling Policy which sets the direction for the future regulation of the industry and its segments was approved in April 2016 and the National Gambling Regulator (NGR) which will replace the NGB, is scheduled to begin operations in the next two years. Despite stringent regulations and fines of R10m or up to ten years in prison, illegal gambling activities at non-licensed venues persist. The Casino Association of South Africa (CASA) estimates that some R125m in potential gambling taxes and levies was lost to illegal online gambling alone in 2015.

    Report Coverage

    The report on the South African Gambling sector describes the current conditions, the challenges facing local role players and factors influencing the success of the industry. The report also profiles 15 companies active in the sector, including market leader Sun International Ltd which derived almost R8.5bn of its 2014 revenue from its casinos, Galaxy Bingo, which owns the licensing rights for its subsidiaries’ gambling venues, and Gold Circle Racing & Gaming Group, which operates a network of 122 betting outlets.

    South African Gambling Industry

    This report focuses on the South African gambling industry, which generated an estimated R21.8bn in Gross Gambling Revenue (GGR) in 2013/2014. The sector, which includes sports betting, Limited Payout Machines (LPMs) and bingo, is dominated by the casino sector which currently contributes more than 75% to total GGR. As industry players paid R2.26bn in gambling taxes and levies in the last financial year and the entire sector has to date employed over 160,000 people, the gambling sector is an important one for the economy of the country.

    Challenges and Opportunities

    Although overall GGR increased by 4.3% in 2013/2014, stakeholders are concerned at the marked decrease from the 13.6% increase that was experienced during 2012/2013. Worsening economic conditions and the resultant decrease in disposable income, as well as proposed regulatory changes are expected to negatively affect future revenue. The competition offered by illegal gambling modes such as fah-fee, dog racing and particularly online gambling, continues to be a matter of concern. At the same time, advances in technology have resulted in an increase in online sports betting and the growth in popularity of LPMs and electronic bingo terminals (EBTs)
