NCOP Economic and Foreign Affairs Committee wants to modify the National Gambling Amendment Bill, in order that only licensed interactive gambling providers may advertise  interactive gambling in its generally accepted form of remote gambling.

There it is still under discussions between the various provinces the way the online gambling advertising will be allowed.

In accordance with IT Web, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will search for “a formulation that is recommended on the subject by both DTI and the state law advisers on the subject”.

The next NCOP meeting on the subject of the Gambling Amendment Bill will be on 13 February 2008.
