Tax on winnings
South Africa taxes gambling at operator level - betting is taxed by the provinces on bookmakers (about 6-9% of winning bets or gross gaming revenue) and VAT applies to betting transactions - while no tax is currently levied on punters' winnings (a 2011 proposal for a 15% withholding tax on winnings above R25,000 was never implemented); a national online gambling tax of 20% of gross gambling revenue remains a proposal under consultation in 2026.
