Sports Betting
Sports Betting in South Africa takes many forms, with some punters preferring the tension of a sports bet while others prefer the instant action that you’d get from a casino bet. You also find that betting at retail branches is still a popular activity for many South Africans, however more punters are moving over to online sportsbooks. The increase in punters has seen many new bookmakers open up for business.
This is great news for punters as it gives more options when it comes to betting on sports. Sports bettors are no longer restricted to one or two bookmakers, as there are over 50 to choose from in South Africa alone. All fully licensed and legal. We understand that getting started can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. At Betting guide we cover everything from sports betting to Betgames, all in one place and most importantly, for free.
We’ve created guides for all the major bookmakers in South Africa. If you need any help with a specific problem or are looking for a specific bookmaker then head over to the bookmaker of your choice. If you haven’t found a guide for your needs then leave us a comment and we’d be happy to help.
