Gambling revenue up to R11.5bn

The board's annual report was tabled in Parliament on Wednesday.

This year's figure is up from R9.918bn in 2004/05.

Board chairperson Chris Fismer said the bulk of this was from the casinos with a small contribution from horseracing and betting, limited payment machines and bingo.

He said there was no finality on a report on online gambling which remained illegal.

However, he said it was important to create a regulated environment and to establish control advertisements on the internet.
