History of Gambling in Eswatini
Eswatini was not always the independent country that it is today. Back when it was still known as Swaziland, the country was under the rule of the British. For many years the country was allowed to have its king while still under the control of the British.
Under this control, the country was introduced to gambling in 1963. Back then, only two forms of gambling were allowed. This law was still held even after the country gained independence in 1968. And even today, gambling is legal in Eswatini.
Discover the Swazi Gambling Law
As we stated before, the first gambling act was passed in 1963. It consisted of the Casino Act and the Lottery Act of 1963. Under these acts, games of chance in the casino and the lottery were legalized and regulated in Swaziland when it was still known under this name.
The Ministry of Tourism, Environmental Affairs Communication regulates all gambling activities in Eswatini casinos must get a license from this authority to conduct their businesses in Eswatini. This was stated in the Bookmakers and Taxation Act of 1970.
It was reported that the Ministry issued online gambling licenses as well. However, theirmany players that instead choose to play at international casinos accept players from Eswatini.
Land-Based Casinos in Eswatini
Since gambling is legal in the country, it's only natural that there would also be land-based casinos in Eswatini. Players from all over Eswatini can enjoy the best gambling services that the country has to offer. These land-based casinos offer numerous slots, video poker, and table games. They tend to be found near the capital of Mbabane and form part of larger resorts.
The Future of Online Gambling in Eswatini
Online gambling is legal in the country. The Ministry even hands out online licenses to operators. This allowed the operators to offer their gambling services online. But some operators within the country will restrict players from South Africa due to a conflict.
The number of internet users in the country is 47% of the entire population. With so many people having internet access, it doesn't seem impossible that the country will soon embrace online gambling and regulate it properly.
