When we talk about money here at our ZAR casino, we often use the term “legal tender”. If you didn’t know that we were referring to your Big 5 emblazoned hard-earned cash, you now do! Here’s the thing, even the ‘what’ in ‘what constitutes’ real money is changing.

There’s a lot to keep up with, Bokke, and nope, it’s not just AI that is infiltrating every aspect of our daily lives. You have two options: act like an ostrich in the middle of the karoo with your head stuck in the sand, or you can hop on board and join the future. We’d like to say “the choice is yours”, but to be honest, it’s more of a “do it – or get left behind!”

Traditional Money Talk at Our ZAR Casino

If you joined the herd here at Springbok Casino, it would have been just a few years after bitcoin burst onto the scenes. Unless you had superman vision and you’re an OG stacker, the relevance of this digital gold would not become evident for many more years to come (but more on that later).

Let’s first talk about the traditional banking methods that you could use at Springbok ZAR casino since our inception in 2012. That included using traditional EFT to transfer bucks from your bank to your online casino account – a process that could take a few days or so…

Then ‘plastic’ has always been the other go-to for Bokke looking for an easy way to fund those sessions in a way that is familiar and relatively fuss-free. With VISA and MasterCard supported, you can enter your credit or debit card credentials, and your account will be locked and loaded in no time.

Things have even sped up in that regard, and where there used to be several days of wait-time using some of these more traditional banking methods, most deposits now happen instantly. Now, there’s still a space for EFTs and bank cards, but things are evolving faster than that Gautrain.

Businesses Going Cashless – Haibo!? Is This Even Legal?

If common logic dictates, the answer to whether it is legal for a business to go ‘cashless’ should be a straightforward “no”, right? Cash is, after all, legal tender… It turns out that the answer to that question is not that simple. Let’s dissect some of the legalities…

Imagine rocking up to your local spaza with a crisp R100 note for a quick loaf, only to get hit with a "cards only" chirp from the counter. Here’s the gut-punch kicker – they can! Even everyday shopping spree spots like shops or cafes can hold all the cards – literally. They get to decide what flies for payments, leaning on cards or apps without tripping over any laws, all thanks to the freedom baked into our contracts system.

The South African Reserve Bank dropped the mic in 2024, making it clear that retailers don't have to roll out the red carpet for cash on sales, even if it wears the legal tender crown for obligations. That said, SARB keeps it real on this one: cash does count as legal tender, so if you're sorting out a debt like paying back a loan or settling a tab, nobody can say no to those notes and coins.

Switch it around to cash-only joints? That's also fine, as long as they're not pulling sneaky moves like dodging taxes. With till grabs popping up more often in busy malls, loads of places ditch the notes to keep things safer. Woolies gave cashless a spin in 2024, kicking off some chatter, but the rules back them up with no fines in sight.

The big split comes down to debts versus deals. Owe someone rands? Cash offer seals it under the SARB Act – they must take it. Snagging a snack or gadget, though? The store's call wins the day. This whole setup nudges us gently into digital territory, but those trusty rand notes hang tough… for the moment!

The Future: Cashless Society or Crypto Takeover on the Horizon?

As we loer into what's coming for our ZAR casino (and beyond), South Africa might echo places like Sweden or China, where old-school notes could turn into dusty exhibits. Folks in the know figure cash deals might slip to under 10% by 2030, thanks to zippy systems like PayShap.

To be honest, high crime, digital ease – like tapping with NFC enabled smart phone, and touch-free habits from Covid days fuel the fire… Though spotty rural connections and loadshedding (aka, ‘rolling blackouts’) might hit the brakes here in Mzansi.

That said, crypto is stepping up and making waves, and the SARB is tinkering with a digital rand via its CBDC tests. This e-version promises steady tracking, mixing fiat trust with blockchain zip to clamp down on dodgy flows. As for absolute pure crypto rule? That will likely not happen soon – although millions of Saffas already have their Luno wallets up and running!

As things stand, a mix seems the smart money: cash as backup (stashed under your mattress if you’re worried about banks going belly up), with a digital wallet leading the charge. If ups and downs settle and tech spreads wider, real leather wallets might very well bow out! Rest assured, whichever way the rand morphs, those Springbok ZAR Casino jackpot chases stay the same!
