Goldrush Gaming Group is committed to providing legally compliant gaming experiences in full alignment with South African gambling laws. Our Electronic Bingo Terminals (EBTs) are licensed by the relevant Provincial Gambling Boards and operate within strict regulatory frameworks established under the National Gambling Act and applicable provincial legislation.
Our bingo terminals are legally recognised as bingo games and adhere to all technical and operational standards required by South African law. While these terminals are designed with modern, engaging aesthetics, they remain classified as bingo games and are distinct from slot machines.
Slot machines operate independently using an internal random number generator (RNG), where each spin is a standalone, random event directly determining the game’s outcome. Slot games are classified as casino games and require specific licensing, restricting them to casinos or Limited Payout Machine (LPM) venues.
In contrast, EBTs serve as electronic interfaces for bingo games. The outcomes are determined by a central server conducting a regulated bingo draw, where numbers are matched to players’ virtual bingo cards. The visual elements, such as spinning reels and symbols, are purely aesthetic enhancements for player engagement and do not influence the outcome of the game.
Any references to terms such as “casino,” “slots,” or “casino games” on this website or related Goldrush sites are solely for entertainment and engagement purposes. These terms describe the style and presentation of EBT gameplay and are not intended to imply a legal classification. Goldrush Gaming Group ensures all EBTs comply fully with South African gambling regulations and uphold transparency, security, and responsible management in collaboration with local and national regulators.
