Online casinos have been rising in popularity consistently since they were first created. This has been aided by technological factors, from the invention of the internet itself to more recent milestones, including smartphones and streaming technology that have dramatically increased accessibility and led to the creation of live dealer tables. For South Africa, which already has an established brick-and-mortar casino sector and is the most advanced economy in Africa, online casinos represent an opportunity for economic growth beyond resource exploitation, agriculture, or manufacturing.
