Betway South Africa Review

Betway have recently launched all throughout Africa and we thought we would get stuck into some of their African sites and see how they are. Let’s dive into our Betway South Africa review and see how they measure up to our high standards.

History :
Betway South Africa is backed by the popular Betway UK brand, which gives the site a lot of credibility and it’s a great brand for Betway South Africa to piggy back off of. They’ve also recently launched in South Africa and Uganda.

Site Layout :
Betway South Africa has a fairly simple site layout that is clearly optimised for mobile devices and tablets. Exactly what the African market needs as there are not as many PC users as there are in Europe but there are tons of mobile users in Africa. The site is easy to navigate and has big icons for all the popular sports, as well as a responsive and exciting banner carousel. It does feel like using a tablet when on PC but we mentioned that before. What we didn’t like was that you can’t really navigate the banner carousel as there are no buttons (you have to swipe or click and swipe), something we hope they’ll improve moving forward.

We do like the style and the artwork if one could call it that on the Betway South Africa banners, they look crisp and professional which is a great touch and really makes the site pop.

Mobile:
The mobile website is as good as the desktop version and fantastic to use, being a mobile based site and all. The experience is seamless and a lot of thought has gone into the mobile side of things and it’s one of the best mobile sites we’ve encountered.

Betway’s innovative online and mobile betting platform is the perfect tool that lets sports betting fans bet on thousands of games anywhere, anytime. This means that you can skip all the queues at the betting shop and place all of your bets directly from your mobile phone. But how is this possible? In order to start betting on all the latest football action, customers will first need to learn how to deposit using Mobile Money.

Betway integrates seamlessly with Mobile Money in order for customers to easily transfer their funds from their Mobile Money accounts into their Betway betting accounts. This process happens instantly and works for both deposits and withdrawals, meaning customers never have to worry about waiting for their winnings.

Promotions :
Betway South Africa don’t seem to have any promotions as yet but we are sure they are in the works and will be hitting our screens soon. As soon as there are we’ll update this section with what’s on offer.

Sign on Bonus :
Betway South Africa Sign on bonus is an interesting one considering the offers on their international sites and other African sites. Betway South Africa’s sign on bonus is a 20%(!) match up to R1000. Now we’re not really sure what to make of this. It has no play through which is great but the 20% match is really not up to scratch. You’d have to deposit R5000 to get any value out of the sign on offer.

Overall Experience :
Betway South Africa is a great start but suffers somewhat from the lack of promotions and markets. The markets on offer are competitive but there simply are not enough of them for punters wanting to dip their toes into more exotic markets. There really isn’t too much else that we can criticise about the site as it’s and enjoyable experience, especially on mobile. If you’re in South Africa we definitely recommend signing up with Betway South Africa.

Overall Rating : 7/10

Sign on Bonus Rating : 4/10
