Durban - Online gambling, which is illegal in South Africa, was on the increase, the National Gambling Board (NGB) said on Wednesday.

"The NGB has identified an increase in the number of illegal online gambling operations nationally," said CEO Baby Tyawa.

She said online gambling was illegal in South Africa and there were no lawfully licensed online gambling operators or service providers in South Africa.

"The pending court litigation between South African regulators and Piggs Peak Casino does not change the law as it applies nor render online gambling activities legal to operate in this country," she said.

Anyone found operating online gambling would be fined R10m or 10 years' imprisonment or both, she said.
