Betway is a European-owned online gambling operator that was first established in 2006. It came to South Africa in 2016, so it is already fairly well-known within the country. To highlight its desire to capture a larger market share on this continent, Betway Nigeria, Betway Uganda and Betway Kenya are two of its other country-specific online sportsbooks.
Raging River Trading (Pty) Ltd, which is trading as Betway South Africa, holds a valid WCGRB (Western Cape Gambling & Racing Board) licence, so punters can be assured that betting here is 100% legal, fair and safe.
New customers can get a stellar R25 sign up bet when opening a new account. The attraction of this offer is that it only has a 1x wagering requirement, so it is very player-friendly. All you have to do is pass the FICA verification process.

Betway Odds & Markets
If you’ve ever visited betway.com (the site used in Europe), then you will know that the platform in South Africa is rather different. This software was developed by Raging River Trading and it holds a manufacturers with WCGRB allowing it to provide the software and bank-end services for Betway South Africa.
The website has been designed to work efficiently across all devices. It has expanding menus, which highlights a mobile first approach to development. This is very important in the South African market with its rapidly growing number of punters choosing to bet on the move. We found navigation effortless, and even new customers with no online betting experience, will enjoy the simplicity of this interface. A nice perk is that you can choose the ‘bet market type’ from the drop down menu so you can view a range of markets across the entire league simultaneously.
Mobile App
If you use an iOS or Android device, you can download the Betway South Africa mobile app to enhance your online betting experience. It’s promised that the app uses less data than the Betway mobile platform and it’s faster, too.
As you would expect from a high-level European operator, the betting app is a quality product. The design and layout matches the desktop and mobile site, so you can load this site up on any screen size and it looks and feels the same. Betway’s mobile punters get all the same perks through the app. You can sign up directly (https://www.betway.co.za/Betway-App) and claim the 125% bonus. There’s pre-match and live betting, BetGames, Stats Centre, rewards and banking is safe and secure.
