Risks that could potentially Impact on the planned achievement of objectives, outcomes, outputs, targets and/or estimated costs - have been Identified as follows: -

• Insufficient funding, that could result from the funding from the dti being less than required to support the operational cost of the Board necessary to execute the planned activities contained in the strategic plan.
• The extent of uncontrollable external factors that might impact on the activities and costs of the Board -litigation, dependencies on PLAs and others etc.
• Unforeseeable circumstances in respect of start-up phases in envisaged projects such as development of registers/databases, Internet gambling, etc.
• Uncertainties relating to first-time and unique projects and activities to be undertaken during this period - e.g. licensing and regulation of Internet gambling
• National Treasury not approving retaining of surplus.
