KwaZulu-Natal Gambling Board (KZNGB). Last updated 2026-07-26.

Written by Brad Mostert, Fact-checked by Nigel Crouse. Last updated 2026-07-26.

The KZNGB licenses and regulates all forms of gambling in KwaZulu-Natal, including bookmakers, casinos, LPMs and bingo. It has been partially subsumed by the KwaZulu-Natal Economic Regulatory Authority (KZNERA), and both brandings may appear on operator footers and legacy licence records. Some large national operators, such as Hollywoodbets, historically originated in KZN and hold KZN product-specific licences alongside their primary provincial licence.

What the KZNGB does

The KZNGB licenses and regulates all forms of gambling in KwaZulu-Natal, including bookmakers, casinos, LPMs and bingo. It has been partially subsumed by the KwaZulu-Natal Economic Regulatory Authority (KZNERA), and both brandings may appear on operator footers and legacy licence records. Some large national operators, such as Hollywoodbets, historically originated in KZN and hold KZN product-specific licences alongside their primary provincial licence.

Which operators it licenses

Hollywoodbets discloses a KZN Gambling Board licence for specific KZN-based products alongside its primary Mpumalanga Economic Regulator bookmaker licence. If an operator's footer references KZNGB or KZNERA, use this page and the KZNERA page to verify.

How to verify a KZNGB licence

  1. Open the KZNGB / KZNERA licensee register.
  2. Search for the operator name or licence number.
  3. Read the licence status, licensed trading names, and expiry date.
  4. Cross-check against the licence number in the operator's website footer.
  5. If unclear whether to reference KZNGB or KZNERA, use both. Historical operator footers may reference the old KZNGB branding.

If the licence number in the operator footer does not match the KZNGB register, do not deposit. Use our licence verifier for a quick cross-check.

Fees, taxes, and levies

Bookmaker licence fees in KZN are set by provincial regulation and reviewed annually. Provincial gambling tax on bookmaker gross gaming revenue is collected by the province and remitted through the KZN Treasury.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hollywoodbets primarily KZN-licensed?

No. Hollywoodbets' own website footer discloses its primary bookmaker licence as Hollywood Sportsbook Mpumalanga (Pty) Ltd, licence number 9-2-1-00051, issued by the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator. Hollywoodbets also names the KwaZulu-Natal Gambling Board among its regulators for specific products. Always verify against the current footer at hollywoodbets.net.

What is the difference between KZNGB and KZNERA?

The KZNGB is the historical gambling board. The KZN Economic Regulatory Authority (KZNERA) is a broader successor body that has taken over parts of the regulatory function. Operator licences carry across; the branding on operator footers may reference either.

How do I complain about a KZN bookmaker?

Complaints are lodged in writing at [email protected] or via the KZNERA contact channels. Include the operator name, licence number, your account number, and screenshots relevant to the dispute.

Does the KZNGB regulate online casinos?

No. Online casino gambling remains prohibited nationally. The KZNGB licenses land-based casinos, bookmakers who may offer online sports betting, and LPMs.

Do KZN-licensed operators accept punters from other provinces?

Yes. A bookmaker licensed in KZN may accept bets from any South African resident regardless of province, as long as it complies with national law and the licence conditions.
