Mpumalanga’s gambling sector is booming. Small in population and area, yet GGR for FY2024/25 is R22.25 billion. Second only to Western Cape.
Vusi Mtsweni, CEO of MER, says reputation for stability and integrity is key. MER has good audits since 1995. Three decades of sound governance.
Operators choose Mpumalanga for trust. MER provides clear, risk-based rules. Not burdensome. Operators value certainty.
Future of online betting? More digital. Tech reshapes gambling. Regulators need to focus on responsible gambling.
