Highest Value Online Casino Players Are Here

That’s right. Despite what the naysayers may say, the fact is that the South Africa online casino market represents one of the highest value markets in the world. In fact, South Africa ranks right up there with Australia for having the highest value online casino players. In other words, the South Africa online casino market is extremely profitable one for online gambling operators.

In one respect this says something about the South African online casino player. Since there are a few hurdles to overcome with even depositing real money funds, especially Rand into online casinos the fact that online casino players from South Africa are able to work around these restrictions says something. In fact it is just these restrictions that have led to the the growth of the so-called e-wallet services. Services such as Moneybookers and NETteller provide real money deposit and withdrawal services into and out of online casinos around the world.

Recognizing what looks to be an insatiable desire by South Africans for online gambling opportunities there is no wonder that there are so many online casino operators that actively target the market. These marketing efforts persist despite efforts by South Africa government officials to curtail such activities. However, the reality is that with everything else to take care of, law enforcement does not have the resources, either financial or in terms of manpower to go after online casino operators targeting South Africans.

With that in mind, you simply have to wonder why the government is not putting full legalization of online gambling on the agenda. As you probably know, the legislation that was supposed to be on the way to finally legalize online gambling has been delayed and put off yet again.

The real question is why legislators can’t read the writing on the wall. After all, it is an acknowledged fact that the South African online casino market is a high value market. So the BIG Question then is what’s going on here? Why the delays and stalls for the legalization legislation. For a country that could certainly benefit from a revenue boost, one would think that legalization would be on the fast track path.

After all, other countries around the world are taking proactive steps to open the doors to online casinos to their citizens. Why not recognize the inevitable and keep the money at home instead of sending it to offshore online gambling operators?
