The grey zone is disappearing. Are you ready for what comes next?
South Africa’s iGaming landscape is no longer shifting because of a single law — it’s changing because of a quiet but powerful convergence of pressure. As we move into 2026, legacy compliance is no longer enough to satisfy banks getting nervous, politicians facing voter outrage, and media outlets exposing the surge in underage gambling and social grant misuse.
The question for operators is no longer just "Is this legal?" but "Can I prove my controls work when scrutiny arrives?"
Join Sumsub, Lurie Inc Attorneys, and iGaming AFRIKA for an unmissable pre-SiGMA Africa briefing. We are moving the conversation away from blame and toward capability — reframing responsible gambling as a critical piece of your operational infrastructure rather than just a policy document.
What you’ll learn:
– The Provincial Fragmentation: Wayne Lurie unpacks the reality of provincial licensing and why relying on "market commonality" provides zero protection as enforcement tightens.
– The Harm Narrative Shift: Why issues like student aid (NSFAS) and social grant (SASSA) misuse have become "radioactive" topics that banks and regulators cannot ignore.
– Operational Breakdown: Explore where good-faith compliance fails—from identity reuse and device sharing to the gap between formal self-exclusion and effective protection.
– The 2026 Outlook: Why indirect enforcement via payment providers will precede new laws, and what you must do now to remain bankable and credible over the next 24 months.
All live attendees will receive a Professional Development Certificate to document their commitment to the latest SA compliance standards.
If you’re still relying on 2024-style controls, you’re already behind. Join us to ensure your platform is built for the new reality of South African iGaming.
