Betting World, one of the best know online and tote bookmakers in South Africa, have suffered a major security breach on the 14th of April 2021. The security breach caused the Betting World site to go online, leaving customers unable to login or access their Betting World accounts. The error has only affected the bettingworld.bet site, and you can still access the bettingworld.co.za as normal.
The breach follows the recent Supabets downtime drama, where Spuabets customers were also unable to access their account for over a week.
The good news is that Betting World are being open with their clients about the breach or hack, and sent out an email on the 14th April, updating customers on the situation. They are working on bringing their services back online and hopefully they can resolve the issue shortly. The notification email about the hack can be read below
