Online Casinos Boom
Although South African law
prohibits Internet gambling, it has done little to stop a growing number
of punters from pointing their mouse in the direction of online casinos.
Professor Peter Collins of the National Responsible Gambling Programme
said it was difficult to tell how many people were using online gambling
because it was illegal.
He estimated that such gambling was probably "as popular in South Africa

two percent of all gambling".
Collins expects this percentage to rise to around 5% by 2010 with
technological advancements in gaming.
This would increase the global loss by players from R240-million

attributes the popularity of the online games to convenience, and the
wide variety of games available.
