Online Gambling Website Blocking Services

The National Gambling Board (NGB) is inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) from experienced service providers to develop and implement solutions for blocking illegal online gambling websites targeting South African citizens. The primary objective is to enhance the NGB's capacity to detect and suppress illegal gambling activities, which have proliferated due to technological advancements and regulatory gaps. The selected service provider will be responsible for monitoring, blocking, reporting, and tracking illegal gambling websites, ensuring compliance with the National Gambling Act of 2004.

Bidders are expected to demonstrate their capabilities in profiling illegal gambling websites, including identifying their origins and licensing status. The solution should facilitate the immediate blocking of these websites to protect the public and maintain the integrity of the regulated gambling industry. Additionally, the service provider will be required to share collected data with law enforcement agencies to support further investigations and legal actions against unlicensed operators. This initiative not only aims to safeguard vulnerable groups from exploitation but also seeks to reinforce the legitimacy of the gambling sector in South Africa.
