PHUMELELA GAMING AND LEISURE
SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF LEGALISED GAMBLING
Employment, Ownership & BBBEE Although totalisator betting operations (including the operation of horse racing)
account for the less than 10% market share of the gambling industry, it is responsible for the generation of tens of thousands of jobs in the industry, directly & indirectly
Phumelela has a level A Empowerdex BBBEE rating, with 50.23% black ownership
Directly employs 2 000 people Taxation &Fees
The sector contributes significantly to the fiscus, with Phumelela having contributed over R 160 million in national & provincial taxes in the year ended 31 July 2009 (approximately R 200 million prior year). This does not include the various license fees payable to provincial gambling boards.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF LEGALISED GAMBLING - Cont
Regulated & Responsible Gambling
Regulation & Compliance The industry is highly regulated, with emphasis on player protection& the
various gambling boards are strict in enforcing compliance National Responsible Gambling
Phumelela, like most operators in the industry, contributes a percentage of their gross gambling income to the National Responsible Gambling Programme (“NRGP”) & implements various NRGP initiatives aimed at detecting & limiting the potential negative effects of problem gambling. NRGP figures indicate that the sector compares favourably to the global trends on problem gambling

IMPACT OF MISLEADING ADVERTISING
Advertising is done in accordance with the national & provincial regulations on advertising aimed at ensuring that people are protected from misleading advertising
Phumelela Gaming & Leisure Limited17
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CURRENT REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT General
The gambling industry is South Africa is probably one of the most regulated globally, but needs to be reviewed to ensure a balanced approach - taking into account the commercial aspects of the operations as well
Efficiency
The current regulatory environment is less efficient with 9 provincial gambling boards & a national gambling board
All with different standards & little cooperation
Phumelela Gaming & Leisure Limited18
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CURRENT REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT - Cont Efficiency (cont)
This tends to significantly increase the costs of doing business &compliance overall
Unnecessary, cumbersome & inefficient processes
Phumelela has to deal with all provincial, mostly with different requirements & standards throughout
Some provinces still regulate betting on the old ordinance, as their legislation has never been updated & this makes it even more difficult to operate properly in those provinces
Different gambling tax, levies & fees regimes (e.g. different rates, on different revenue basis, excessive fees & tax rates in other provinces, etc).

EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CURRENT REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT - Cont
Phumelela Gaming & Leisure Limited20
Tax rates by province
Province Tax Rate
Gauteng 6.5% on Take out
Mpumalanga 2.5% on Turnover
Limpopo 3.5% on Turnover
North West 6.5% on Take out
Eastern Cape 10% on Take out
Northern Cape 8 % on Take out
Free State 3 % on Turnover
Kwazulu Natal 1.5% on Turnover
Western Cape 6.0% on Take out
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CURRENT REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT - Cont (Unfair) Competition
Overbearing regulation leads to lost opportunities & unfair competition
For instance, the totalisator is required to submit new rules for approval by the gambling boards prior to introducing any new product & these tends to take a very long time to consider
Bookmakers & the lottery are not subjected to this requirement
Lottery can also open outlets anywhere, anytime
Phumelela Gaming & Leisure Limited21
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CURRENT REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT - Cont (Unfair) Competition (cont) – Open Bet
Bookmakers currently allowed to offer the so-called “open bet”, that is, offering bets which were not “fixed odds” or using totalisator’s results & dividends as a basis for determining payouts
This has effectively allowed them to “unlawfully” compete with the totalisator & utilize the totalisator’s intellectual property without due consideration
The open bet is estimated to cost the totalisator & horse racing approximately R 200 million nationally
Phumelela Gaming & Leisure Limited22
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CURRENT REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT - Cont (Unfair) Competition (cont) – Open Bet
This means that bookmakers do not adequately contribute to horse racing, while weakening the totalisator’s ability to fund horse racing
Every R100 bet on the totalisator yields R20 on average for horseracing, of which about R6 goes directly into stakes (prize money for horse owners)
In the normal course, a R100 fixed-odds bet with a bookmaker yields R2.70 for horseracing. This assumes a 10% profit for fixed-odds operators with them retaining R10 of every R100 wagered with them. Of the assumed R90 left over, R84.60 is returned to customers, with R2.70 for provincial taxation & R2.70 to horseracing in some provinces
Open betting has also contributed to significant decline of totalisator revenue in Germany over past ten years.

INTERACTIVE GAMBLING
The delay in licensing & regulating interactive gambling may mean that South African operators have lost significant ground
South Africans are already patronising available interactive gambling sites elsewhere
Some of the proposed regulation on interactive gambling may render South African websites unattractive
For instance, the proposed player registration process is too onerous compared to other jurisdictions.
