Maybe you didn&#8217;t know, but poker pros like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pokerdb.thehendonmob.com\/player.php?a=r&amp;n=88369\">Raymond Rahme<\/a><\/strong> and other recognized players around the world actually come from South Africa. And get this, the second annual <strong>World Series of Poker (WSOP)<\/strong> was hosted in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think of South Africa, the places that immediately spring to mind include <strong>Johannesburg, Cape Town and Pretoria<\/strong>. It\u2019s probably not commonplace to really associate poker or any other sort of gambling with the country. And that\u2019s probably with good reason, too. After all, it has been heavily restricted since the late 1600s making South Africa not the gambling friendliest country in the world. The country has a hard-line stance on online gambling, and sports betting remains the only legal form of online gambling in the Rainbow Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite all the legal barriers, there is a horde of diehard poker fans living in South Africa that are willing to do what it takes to find a top-notch poker site. If you\u2019re one of them, you\u2019ve certainly come to the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<h2 id=\"recommended\" data-short-title=\"Best poker sites for South Africans?\" class=\"custom-title\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/svg\/flag-za.svg\" title=\"Recommended South African Online Poker Rooms\" alt=\"Recommended South African Online Poker Rooms\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\">\r\n        <span>Recommended South African Online Poker Rooms<\/span>\r\n<\/h2>\r\n\n\n<strong>My list of the best poker sites which I consider to be the best rooms to play in 2024:<\/strong><div class=\"recommended-brands\" data-ids=\"[1613,679,56,1612]\"><ol class=\"twocolol\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/reviews\/everygame-poker\">Everygame Poker<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/reviews\/americas-cardroom\">ACR Poker<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/reviews\/juicy-stakes-poker\">Juicy Stakes Poker<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/reviews\/blackchip-poker\">Black Chip Poker<\/a><\/li><\/ol><\/div><div class=\"casinos inner\"><div class=\"rt-line-info d-flex\">\r\n        <ul>\r\n            <li><span>100% Legal &amp; Licensed<\/span><\/li>\r\n            <li><span>Verified Bonus<\/span><\/li>\r\n            <li><span>Mobile Friendly<\/span><\/li>\r\n            <li>Advertiser Disclosure <div class=\"rt-tooltip\">\r\n                    <div class=\"rt-clu\">\r\n                        <svg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                          <path d=\"M9 8.25V12M9 15.75C5.27208 15.75 2.25 12.7279 2.25 9C2.25 5.27208 5.27208 2.25 9 2.25C12.7279 2.25 15.75 5.27208 15.75 9C15.75 12.7279 12.7279 15.75 9 15.75ZM9.03735 6V6.075L8.96265 6.07515V6H9.03735Z\" stroke=\"#475366\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\r\n                        <\/svg>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                            <div class=\"rt-tooltip-info\">\r\n                                <p>Kindly be aware that some links on Top 10 Poker Sites are affiliate links, for which we may earn a commission.

Over the years, we\u2019ve learned how to recognize a first-class poker site. Based on that knowledge, we\u2019ve established a selection criteria which is a list of essential characteristics every operator must possess to get a recommendation from us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the approval by my expert team, every poker site in South Africa must comprise the following qualities:<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<div id=\"decorativeNumList2\" class=\"decorativeBox\">\r\n<div class=\"decorativeNumList\">\r\n\r\n<div class=\"decorativeContent\">\r\n<h3>Has to Be 100% Safe and Secure<\/h3>\r\n    <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/icon-security.png\" alt=\"100% Safe and Secure\" class=\"alignright\">In today\u2019s day and age, poker sites need to be proactive in preventing security breaches and making sure that players\u2019 sensitive data remains protected at all times. Industry-standard protocols that are being used in the online poker industry include SSL-encryption, top-notch firewalls, and other tools. To pass my team\u2019s safety checks, every operator has to employ these security mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, poker sites use the highest level of security measures possible, but are not properly regulated, which means that it can do whatever it wants \u2014 even rig its games. For this reason, we opt to choose only poker sites that are licensed by a respectable jurisdiction, such as the <strong>MGA, UKGC, Curacao, Panama and others<\/strong>. These organizations supervise the poker operators and ensure that players are being provided with a safe and fair gaming environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"decorativeContent\">\r\n<h3>It Must Use an Impeccable Software<\/h3>\r\n    <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/icon-design.png\" alt=\"Impeccable Software\" class=\"alignright\">Playing poker online is not the same as playing in a land-based venue. Even though you\u2019re playing in real-time, against real, human opponents, you may experience problems with poker client lagging. Or maybe the platform could freeze up while you\u2019re multi-tabbing. And trust me \u2014 there\u2019s nothing more frustrating than running into performance issues while in the middle of an intense poker game.<\/p>\n<p>For these very reasons, we picked out poker sites that use impeccable software. We want you guys to have a seamless, glitch-free poker experience. And with these sites, you can look forward to that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"decorativeContent\">\r\n<h3>Complete Package of Games is Mandatory<\/h3>\r\n    <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/icon-games.png\" alt=\"Complete Package of Games is Mandatory\" class=\"alignright\">Why is it important that a poker site has a versatile games portfolio? Because the more options you have at your disposal, the bigger the likelihood you\u2019ll have of finding a perfect poker table \u2014 one that matches both your playing preferences and budget. Some poker operators only have <i>NL Hold\u2019em <\/i>and <i>Omaha <\/i>on offer, and perhaps you\u2019re a <i>Razz <\/i>poker specialist. So, you\u2019ll be forced to play a poker variant you don\u2019t know much about, and you\u2019re obviously going to lose more than you win.<\/p>\n<p>Or perhaps the poker site has tables with micro stakes only, which is not suitable for high rollers who came there to make the big bucks. In our estimation, a top-notch poker site should be able to cater to both casual and pro players alike and have multiple poker formats.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"decorativeContent\">\r\n<h3>Has to be Mobile-Friendly<\/h3>\r\n    <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/icon-mobile.png\" alt=\"Mobile-Friendly\" class=\"alignright\">Nowadays, almost every poker operator has a mobile-friendly website. But they\u2019re not all created equal. Sometimes, the mobile version is not properly optimized, or it\u2019s not compatible with all popular operating systems, namely iOS and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/mobile-poker\/android\">Android<\/a>. To determine how good the poker operator\u2019s mobile platform is, we run a battery of tests. We access the site from various mobile devices, and if everything runs smoothly, then we consider recommending it to our readers.<\/p>\n<p>With our mobile-friendly poker sites and dedicated poker apps, it\u2019s possible to enjoy poker games and latest promotions anytime, anywhere with a connected mobile device like a tablet or smartphone. Whether it\u2019s <i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/top-10-poker-games\/texas-holdem-poker\">Texas Hold\u2019em<\/a> <\/i>you love, or <i>Chinese Poker for example<\/i>, our recommended poker sites provide the opportunity to enjoy all the perks of online poker straight from your mobile device.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"decorativeContent\">\r\n<h3>It Must Have Well-Rounded Traffic<\/h3>\r\n    <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/icon-traffic.png\" alt=\"Well-Rounded Traffic\" class=\"alignright\">I know that recreational players may not pay much attention to this factor, but balanced traffic is integral in the success of every poker site. If you\u2019re stuck with a poker operator that has poor traffic, you\u2019re always going to wait for the tables to fill up. And if it has strong traffic, then there is a high chance that you\u2019ll run across sharks \u2014 high-skill poker players that make money by beating on weaker opponents.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why an ideal poker site has a well-rounded, balanced traffic. During peak hours, you should always be able to find an open seat in both micro stakes and high-stakes tables.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"decorativeContent\">\r\n<h3>Needs to Be Generous<\/h3>\r\n    <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/icon-bonus.png\" alt=\"Needs to Be Generous\" class=\"alignright\">I know how this sounds \u2014 gambling sites and generosity, doesn\u2019t fit, right? But bonuses are an integral part of playing in poker sites. A great bonus can improve your odds and increase your chances of winning.<\/p>\n<p>Every poker site from our list welcomes South African players with a massive bonus. You can get thousands of Rands just opening an account and depositing a small amount of cash. And to keep you entertained and engaged, these sites will constantly throw rewarding promotions at you, that come in the form of <strong>RakeBack deals, Bad Beat jackpots<\/strong> and so forth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"decorativeContent\">\r\n<h3>It Should Accept a Wide Range of Payment Methods<\/h3>\r\n    <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/icon-banking.png\" alt=\"Wide Range of Payment Methods\" class=\"alignright\">Being able to make easy, quick, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/deposit-options\">secure deposits and withdrawals<\/a> is one of the most significant features for all types of poker players. Our recommended poker sites offer a multitude of different deposit and withdrawal methods, most of which are used by South Africans for everyday payments.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from a fully-stacked banking section, we expect every poker site to process withdrawals quickly, within a couple of working days. We want you guys to get your hard-earned winnings in the shortest time possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"decorativeContent\">\r\n<h3>Resourceful Customer Support Must Be Available 24\/7<\/h3>\r\n    <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/icon-support.png\" alt=\"Customer Support 24\/7\" class=\"alignright\">An efficient customer service is always on our checklist of things to look for when finding a good poker site. It\u2019s vitally important that there is someone to assist you if something goes wrong. If your payment transaction goes awry or you need help with registering. Most of the time, these issues are minor and can be easily fixed by the customer support team.<\/p>\n<p>We want customer service to be always available to you when you need it. That\u2019s why we only recommend poker sites with support teams that are knowledgeable, dedicated, polite, and available round-the-clock.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, make sure that it supports a payment method that you feel comfortable using online. It\u2019s no good becoming a member of a platform and then finding out that you can only make use of a Visa card to deposit if you\u2019re not happy to insert your card details at an online site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be blinded by the external layout or any promises of huge rewards for becoming a player at a site, either. After all, the external view of a poker platform does not dictate how it operates internally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just be sure that you\u2019re playing at a recommended site. We&#8217;ve got a selection of them for you to browse through here, but even if you don\u2019t want to visit one of the South African platforms that we recommend, read reviews from other people. Make sure they\u2019re people that have played at the poker rooms and find out what the pros and cons of them are. See if there are any big problems that the site is having troubles with sorting out. Be sure that there aren&#8217;t any withdrawal issues or withholding of funds from players. If you do some proper research into South African online poker rooms beforehand, then you can\u2019t go far wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<h2 id=\"legal\" data-short-title=\"Is it legal to play online poker in S.Africa?\" class=\"custom-title\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/svg\/gavel.svg\" title=\"Is Online Poker Legal in South Africa?\" alt=\"Is Online Poker Legal in South Africa?\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\">\r\n        <span>Is Online Poker Legal in South Africa?<\/span>\r\n<\/h2>\r\n\n\n\n<p>South Africa has a long history of gambling restrictions. That history started changing several years ago when the legislators showed interested in changing the laws gradually in order to keep up with the industry and the needs of the citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, things are not that simple. It\u2019s the trademark of South Africans to make things complicated and confusing, and so are the laws pertaining to online poker and online gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the laws in South Africa regarding online poker are so stringent, it has become fairly difficult for citizens to engage in poker gameplay via the internet. Players can actually be prosecuted if they\u2019re found to be participating in online poker or other forms of gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1965, the Gambling Act of South Africa came into effect and that would officially ban all forms of gambling, with the sole exception being horse racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this, the country does have a link with poker gameplay. But how does this happen when it\u2019s considered to be an illegal act there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been certain areas of South Africa that have managed to skirt around the laws, though. For example, in the late 1970s, certain casinos began operating within the nominally independent areas of the country, known as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bantustan\">bantustans<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These took up residence in the areas of <strong>Bophuthatswana, Transkei<\/strong> and a few others. In those locations, only native South Africans resided, so most citizens of the country couldn&#8217;t really access the casinos. However, over time, these illegal casinos grew in number, and by 1995, it was estimated that South Africa had over 2,000 of them in operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things did change in 1994 when a new democratic government came into power. It was then that all forms of gambling were made legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1994, however, things took a turn for the better when the government introduced a licensing system into the 1996 National Gambling Act and repealed a ban on all kinds of gambling. This legislation made it possible for a legal framework of the gambling industry to be created as it allowed the National Gambling Board to provide licenses to both land-based and online sportsbooks in all nine provinces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A set of licensed casinos were set up in 1996, which is when the National Gambling Act of the country became effective. A national lottery was also set up and horse racing (while remaining legal) became defined as a gambling activity rather than a sporting activity. Rules were brought in at the same time to keep gambling within the country as regulated as possible, and a decision was made for a total of 40 gambling licences to be made available to potential South African operators. Alongside the legal casinos and national lottery, other gambling games became available, including poker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 2004, a new version of the <strong>National Gambling Act<\/strong> was brought into effect, repealing the 1996 version, and then in 2008, a further introduction came into play \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gov.za\/documents\/national-gambling-amendment-act-0\">the National Gambling Amendment Act<\/a>. Unfortunately, the former of these Acts prohibited any operator from providing online gaming services, while making it illegal for residents of South Africa to access such as well. Therefore, online poker (along with online casino and bingo games) was made an illegal activity. The Amendment Act of 2008 was actually meant to try and legalise online interactive gaming. However, various parties confronted the introduction of this \u2013 including land-based establishments and anti-money laundering groups \u2013 meaning that it was never brought into effect with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make things worse, South Africa introduced a law in 2010 that made accessing foreign-based interactive gambling websites an illegal action. Because of this, both offering online gambling services and participating in such, regardless of server location, became illegal in the country. The <strong>National Gambling Amendment Act of 2008<\/strong> could come into effect at some point in the near future if the high court listens to appeals against the laws blocking interactive gambling. For now though, poker remains as an activity that is considered illegal in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">South Africa&#8217;s Governing Body For Poker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The agency responsible for oversight of the regulation in the gambling industry throughout South Africa is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ngb.org.za\/\">National Gambling Board<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the board, its aim is to preserve the integrity of the citizens as responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you fall victim to a fraud or corruption, you can report it to the Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Gambling Board is also the agency where you have to go if you want to receive a gambling license to operate a land-based operation in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<h2 id=\"starting\" data-short-title=\"How to get started on a SA poker site?\" class=\"custom-title\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/svg\/instructions.svg\" title=\"How to Play on South African Poker Sites\u00a0\" alt=\"How to Play on South African Poker Sites\u00a0\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\">\r\n        <span>How to Play on South African Poker Sites\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<\/h2>\r\n\n\n\n<p>When I first started playing online poker, everything seemed so easy \u2014 I mean how difficult could it be to create an account, deposit, and get right into the action?

With the inception of online gambling, it has become possible to play real-money poker without having to leave the comfort of your home. And with mobile poker as one of the latest innovations, you can play your favourite poker games from anywhere in South Africa, whenever you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enjoy all the benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/mobile-poker\">mobile poker in South Africa<\/a>, you only need a stable internet connection, and a compatible mobile device. Speaking of compatibility, almost all poker sites are developed, so that both iOS and Android users can access them. Some brands have launched native poker apps, but if you don\u2019t want to download anything, but rather jump right into the action, you can always access the instant play version, and immediately start playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<h2 id=\"payments\" data-short-title=\"How to make deposits and withdrawals?\" class=\"custom-title\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/svg\/credit-card.svg\" title=\"Banking Options for South Africans\" alt=\"Banking Options for South Africans\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\">\r\n        <span>Banking Options for South Africans<\/span>\r\n<\/h2>\r\n\n\n\n<p>At most SA poker sites, you\u2019ll encounter commonly used credit and debit cards, but you can also use e-wallets, prepaid cards, and even cryptocurrencies to facilitate payments. Most of these payment methods, like PayPal, are already being used by South Africans for their everyday shoppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most online poker sites will accept deposits made through credit and debit cards, there\u2019s always the potential there for your bank to block such transactions. You can try your <strong>Visa or Mastercard<\/strong> if you like, but should it not process through, you\u2019ll need to look at alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best alternative that you can use for depositing is to transact with a cryptocurrency. Whether that be <strong>Bitcoin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoincash.org\">Bitcoin Cash<\/a>, Dash, Ethereum<\/strong> or any of the others, it doesn&#8217;t matter. If the online poker room accepts transactions via cryptocurrencies, then you\u2019ll be able to make use of instant deposits and withdrawals, without any kind of central financial institution keeping a check on what you\u2019re doing. Additionally, you won\u2019t have to pay any additional fees on top of your deposits and withdrawals as far as the cryptocurrency is concerned. So, if you want something free and fast, cryptocurrencies are the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also try and utilise an e-wallet for deposit and withdrawal purposes, although again, it\u2019s not always possible that these are made available for residents of South Africa. If you do possess a <strong>Neteller or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/deposit-options\/skrill\">Skrill wallet<\/a><\/strong> for example though, you can try to use it at your chosen online poker room. Just be wary of the fact that it may not be supported for players from within South Africa. While bank transfers may also be available to make use of, these are situated in the same vein as credit and debit cards. Because they\u2019re connected specifically to a bank, the transaction may be blocked if it\u2019s found to be going to an online gambling site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you\u2019re already familiar with the process of how to use these banking options for online payments. What\u2019s more, some of our featured poker sites accept payments in South African Rands, so you won\u2019t be losing any money on conversion rates. Pretty neat, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\" data-short-title=\"Conclusion\" class=\"custom-title\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.top10pokersites.net\/images\/icons\/svg\/summary.svg\" title=\"Conclusion\" alt=\"Conclusion\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\">\r\n        <span>Conclusion<\/span>\r\n<\/h2>\r\n\n\n\n<p>Despite all the efforts by politicians to finally legalize online poker, South Africa\u2019s stance on gambling laws remains intact.
