The Growing Popularity of Online Casino Apps
Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

As digital transformation impacts just about every aspect of our world today, this will, of course, include online casinos. Today, the concept of online casinos focuses around mobiles and tablets, and the ability to hit that jackpot with just the touch of a button, no matter where you are. With gambling still being one of the most popular pastimes, it’s no wonder that it has been incredibly successful in adapting to advances in technology.

Since the explosion of smartphones into our lives was swiftly followed by the need to have everything on one hand-held device, casino operators have invested a great deal of time and money in ensuring that they are a part of this phenomenon. On top of this, with countries relaxing some of their gambling restrictions, the popularity of online casino apps has increased significantly.

With thousands of casino apps readily available to download onto your smartphone, you now have the choice of playing instantly at free online casinos, real money casinos and even casinos with no registration. The best part? You can be anywhere – at a park, waiting for a bus, even just sitting on your couch. Whatever your choice of location, you can still have the excitement of gambling on your favourite casino sites. All you need is a smartphone, internet connection, and you’re all set to play!

Providers of Online Casino Apps

There are two main providers of mobile phone apps: Google and Apple. In the beginning, both providers were not very keen on gambling apps, but this soon changed when they realised that they were powerless to stop users accessing gambling sites straight from their mobile phone’s browser.

However, whilst gambling apps can be downloaded from app stores, both Google and Apple have a set of rules for casino apps. These requirements must be followed by the app developers in order for the app to be listed in the app store. Nevertheless, since these requirements are behind the scenes, they won’t stop you enjoying any type of casino game you want to play. You literally have the choice of thousands of exciting apps: full casino apps, poker apps, betting apps and many more – all ready and waiting to be downloaded!

The Popularity of Gambling Apps

Apart from allowing users to play their favourite casino games from any location they wish, there are several other factors that contribute to the success of online casino apps. The first is safety. All casino apps must belong to a licensed and regulated casino operator, all under the watchful eye of the top gambling authorities. On top of this, there is an additional layer of safety imposed by Google and Apple before a casino app can be listed within the app stores. All of this ensures that the casino app is safe and legitimate.

Another factor is the large variety of different games you have at your disposal as a customer. Whether you want to simply browse through all the games offered on the casino floor in Vegas, or perhaps you are a poker enthusiast looking to improve your skills, or maybe you prefer to bet on your favourite sports team, you can do all of this and more in an instant!

Of course, probably the most tempting aspect of online gambling is the range of bonuses and promotions available through casino apps. Many offer welcome bonuses to new users who install their apps, recurring bonuses for regular players and returning bonuses to long-lost players who may be considered returning to their favourite pastime. Whoever you are, there is almost always a bonus or promotion to add to your account and help with your bankroll.

Conclusion

The popularity of online casino apps is continuing to grow. As technology continues to develop, casino operators are well-placed to make the most of these advances and ensure that they provide the best gambling experience possible for their customers in order to retain their loyalty and remain competitive.

Procedure to be followed by school clubs affiliating for the 2025 season

Published

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA), founded in 1984, is the national federation for Board games, Card games, Esports, and Wargames.

MSSA promotes all  the different disciplines equally, although each school may pick-and-choose which discipline it wishes to promote at its school. Some schools will promote the whole gambit, while others will concentrate on only one discipline, and/or even just concentrate on one specific title.

The choice is ultimately up to the school.

The various games offer unique opportunities to many South African learners. Many learners have been able to earn Regional, Provincial, and National Colours which have allowed them to earn bursaries and obtain first-class educations.

MSSA has sent teams with full Protea Colours to international events since 1991 for wargames, 1996 for Morabaraba, 1997 for Checkers, and 2005 for Esports. Many members of the national teams have been scholars, and all have benefited from their involvement in the national Protea Team. 
With the above in mind the MSSA has streamlined the process for schools to affiliate to the MSSA.
 

There is still the option open for a school to start a full-blown sub-club on its premises, but bearing in mind the tight regulatory conditions under which accredited schools have to operate in the Republic, the MSSA no longer deems it necessary for a school to start a sub-club.

As long as the school club has the approval of the school, and has an Educator-in-Charge, a school may affiliate by merely completing the Application for Affiliation Form and submitting such to MSSA.

In order to affiliate, the completed Application for affiliation Form must be submitted to the MSSA.
 
Once the Board has approved a school’s affiliation, the school then needs to complete the Google Registration Page allocated to the school for the players and make payment.
 
All school members may participate in all events for which it qualifies. Such events include meetings, championships, courses, and so forth. 

Advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club: 
There are many advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club, such as:

  1. Being part of a community where your club has a real say in how things are done
  2. Being able to apply for National Lottery Funding – MSSA member clubs can apply for up to R800,000.00 in funding
  3. Being able to get assistance from your local government
  4. Experience increased media exposure of your events and your gamers
  5. Become part of the international community through the MSSA Registered players are able to become internationally recognised umpires, etc.
  6. Enable your gamers to take part in MSSA events, which may qualify them for Regional, Provincial, and National colours, overseas trips, and even sports bursaries at university.
MSSA’s Constitution
The Constitution forms the foundation of the MSSA. It guarantees members rights and governs the way that the MSSA operates. It can only be amended by a two-thirds majority at a Council Meeting. Please remember that Associations only have two (2) votes each, whereas member clubs have a representational vote, being:
  • Private clubs: one vote per every five registered players, and
  • School clubs: one vote per every ten registered players.

MSSA’s General Regulations   
The General Regulations comprises of decisions made by both Council and Executive Committee Meetings. The General Regulations deals with how sub-committees operate as well as to how teams are selected and development funding is distributed.   Please refer to Schedule 10.12 in regard to the rights of clubs in hosting events.

MSSA’s Discipline Specific Regulations   

The Discipline Specific Regulations deal with rules concerning the different disciplines. The Disciplines that the MSSA caters for are; Board Gaming, Card gaming, Esports, and Figure Gaming.

Application for Affiliation form   
When a club applies for membership, the applicant club must complete such form and return the same to the MSSA.
Fee note for 2025
The fee note details the Affiliation Fees and Registration fees that are payable.

Player Registration Form   

The Player Registration Form needs to be completed by every player that is a member of a club and intends to participate in MSSA affairs.
