Several years lasting saga came to an end last week. Piggs Peak (if you don’t know where the name comes from, give it a read) lost the legal case against the South African National Gambling Board.

Piggs Peak claimed that the internet casino gaming takes place on the gaming servers (theirs were in Swaziland, where gambling is legal), while the Board finally concluded that the betting on internet casino games takes place where the players is located, regardless of the servers or license.

This is naturally a huge blow for Piggs Peak and also other casinos, however it is unlikely that we will see a massive withdrawal of the software providers from South Africa, as it was the case with Italy and France. The reason is – SA government does not have a clue how to run the online gambling operation.

And players from South Africa? Well, to be honest, those who are smart enough are not bothered with this news. There is tons of online casinos and millions of ways to get paid without being noticed. Just be a little cautious and that’s it.
