17111 (2025). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister of Internal Affairs: What "other regulatory systems" have been considered by the Minister regarding regulating online gambling as of April 7 2025?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I considered a registration-only model for online casino gambling, but decided that a licensing system with a limit of up to 15 providers was the best option to minimise harm while channelling people towards the regulated market.
