The institution has been charged with the responsibility to perform all functions assigned to it in terms of the Mpumalanga Gambling Act or any other legislation by advising, reporting or making recommendations to the Responsible Member on any matter relating to the control of gambling in the Mpumalanga Province. The Mpumalanga Gambling Board (MGB) was established in December 1995, and is a statutory body reporting to the Provincial Department of Economic Development and Tourism. Section 4 of the Act provides for the appointment of no more than ten (10) Board Members, drawn from different backgrounds and the Chief Executive Officer is appointed as an ex-officio Member of the Board.

The Free State Gambling and Liquor Authority (FSGLA) was established through the merger of the former Free State Gambling and Racing Board and the Free State Liquor Authority. The Provincial Government took a decision to merge the Free State Gambling and Racing Board together with the Free State Liquor Authority with the intention of streamlining operations, consolidating resources whilst at the same time saving costs. The merger necessitated the review of both the Free State Gambling and Liquor Acts; this review brought about the Free State Gambling and Liquor Act No. 6 of 2010 which commenced on the 11th June 2010.
