ACCELERATE

‍Online slots rollout further boosts South African market

South African fixed-odds sports betting revenue across retail and online channels climbed by 57 percent year-on-year to R12.8bn ($711.9m) in the year ending March 2022, despite revenue remaining below pre-COVID levels in four out of nine provinces, including Gauteng, the country’s most populous region.

Sector growth was again driven by the mid-sized provinces of Western Cape and Mpumalanga, where licensee revenue has boomed amid the rapid adoption of live dealer casino games and, more recently, online slots following their approval as “contingent events” for betting in these provinces.
