Approval from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board positions the supplier for wider African expansion and reinforces its commitment to compliance and game integrity.
SA Gaming has achieved a major regulatory milestone after being awarded a National Manufacturer Licence by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board (WCGRB), one of the most respected gambling regulators on the African continent. The approval marks a significant step in the company’s strategy to expand its footprint in South Africa and across the wider African iGaming market, while operating under one of the region’s most stringent regulatory frameworks.
The National Manufacturer Licence is regarded as a gold standard within the South African gaming industry. It authorises SA Gaming to supply certified gaming products and technology to licensed operators, confirming that its platforms, systems and operational processes meet the WCGRB’s strict requirements for security, fairness, responsible gaming and player protection. The licensing process involves extensive technical audits, financial due diligence and compliance assessments, making it one of the most rigorous approvals available in the region.
By securing this licence, SA Gaming is now positioned to strengthen its distribution network throughout South Africa, a market that continues to gain importance as African jurisdictions move toward more structured and transparent regulation of online and land-based gaming. The company noted that the approval validates its long-term commitment to operating within regulated environments and aligning its products with international compliance standards.
The WCGRB is widely recognised for its focus on game integrity and operational oversight. Its approval signals that SA Gaming’s solutions have satisfied requirements related to random number generation, system security, data protection, and fair play. This provides additional reassurance to operators and players that the supplier’s offerings are compliant with both local regulations and global best practices.
SA Gaming stated that the licence will also support its broader African growth strategy, enabling closer collaboration with licensed operators and paving the way for future partnerships in jurisdictions that value strong regulatory credentials. The company emphasised that regulation is a cornerstone of sustainable industry development, helping to build trust among players, governments and commercial partners alike.
With the African iGaming sector continuing to mature, suppliers with recognised licences and proven compliance frameworks are expected to play a key role in shaping the market’s next phase of growth. SA Gaming’s successful application to the WCGRB places it among a select group of providers authorised to operate under South Africa’s demanding standards, reinforcing its status as a regulated, credible and long-term participant in the continent’s evolving gaming ecosystem.
