Gambling and Betting was legalised in our country following a research conducted by a Commission led by the late Prof. Wiehann in 1995, which concluded that this form entertainment bears a great potential for economic growth in the form of job creation, investment, contribution to the growth of own-revenue base, tourism promotion and business development. This Commission also concluded that if this form of entertainment is not properly regulated, it may create serious social and economic problems. It is against this background, that it was resolved that regulation of gambling and betting operations should be a shared and concurrent responsibility between National and Provincial governments in order to safeguard potential ills which may come with its legalisation.
