The Gambling Review Commission in South Africa has been criticized since it aims to clamp down on casino advertising.
In South African the government's Department of Trade and Industry scrutinized the Gambling Review Commission's report on gambling reform. The report received a lot of criticism, since it suggested that land-based casinos bypassed the provisions of the National Gambling Act with regard to advertising.
The Casino Association of South Africa chairman Jabu Mabuza said in a statement that this issue was "disturbing," and was not in favour of the Commission's recommendation that more regulation is necessary.
He pointed out: "The remarks in the report relating to casino advertising are disturbing inasmuch as they suggest that licensed casinos are luring the elderly to gamble at licensed venues by providing chips as a component of junket-type packages.… There is no concerted action or any other action for that matter by any casino that attempts to lure the elderly to its facilities with the objective of getting them to gamble."
