Betway are fast on the way to becoming South Africa’s favourite online bookmaker. The brand has grown from strength to strength in the last few years and we’re going to have a closer look at some of their features, bonuses, promotions and more. So let’s dive into our Betway South Africa review and see how they measure up to our high standards.

Betway South Africa

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, although in recent months the Betway brand has started to show it’s muscle locally as well through out Africa.

Betway Sign on Bonus 

Betway South Africa Sign on bonus is one of the best in South Africa when it comes to wagering. The sign on bonus is a 125% deposit match up to R1000, with no complicated play through terms. Meaning you only need to bet the bonus once before you can withdraw it. It’s a great offer and you can claim it here or by using code BSB01 when registering.

Site Layout 

Betway South Africa has a fairly simple site layout that is clearly optimized 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.

Betway 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.

Overall Experience 

Betway South Africa is a fantastic option for new and experienced punters. The markets on offer are competitive and the promotions excellent. The site is a pleasure to use on both mobile and desktop which is a real plus in our books. The odds could be slightly better but they’ve made up for that with win boost, cash out and several other great inclusions.

There really isn’t too much else that we can criticize about the site. It’s an enjoyable experience, especially on mobile. If you’re in South Africa we definitely recommend signing up with Betway. Click here to sign up and claim your R1000 deposit match bonus.
