Guide to Online Betting
From Opening your account✍. . . to withdrawing your 🤑WINS
How do I open a Betting Account?
Opening a sports betting account is relatively standard across most of the online bet service providers. While most people sign up with just one, we recommend that you sign up with at least 3 or 4 providers, to spread your odds. Imagine getting paid by 2 or more bosses, well, that's how it feels when your winning payouts come from more than 1 source!
Simple steps
- Go to the Site !
- Land on Opening Page, and DO take advantage of their opening offers. Multiple sites, multiple opening offers.
- Join Now, Register, Open an account!
- Add your Personal Details , all sites will require this, but remember to choose a username & password that you won't forget. Always keep your password secure to keep your account safe.
- Check your sms / email inbox to confirm your account and successful registration
- Now, LOG IN and make your 1st deposit.
Making Your First Deposit?
Another thing you may find scary at first is depositing money into your betting account. However, all of this is also made easy today!
Different payment options will depend on the different sites that you are on, but all of them should at least include credit and debit card options, and others. Some of the best sites also allow deposits via web wallet or EFT (from affiliated banks).
Depositing Steps

- Click Deposit button, AGAIN , look out for opening Deposit Specials.

FICA
Before you can withdraw any money from your betting account, you have to provide your South African ID book, or Smart ID Cards, as well as a Utility bill. This is generally known as FICA.
Some betting brands and sites make an exception (with an allowance made of up to R3000 without needing all the FICA documents) But this is an exception rather than the rule. So it’s best to plan on sending the required documents in anyway, as you don’t want to have any troubles with your winnings!
Withdrawing your winnings
So, you have some beginners luck, or you have accumulated enough with a good looking account balance, and now you want to withdraw? Before you can get money out, your betting account must first be successfully verified. See above "FICA".
Across most betting providers, there are common withdrawal options to get your cash out!
The most common is the EFT, where the betting company will pay your winnings directly into your bank account. There are other options like FNB ewallet, or StandardBank Money Send, or ABSA Cashsend. Whichever one you choose, the bookmaker will send you an SMS with a code that you can use to cash out at any ATM or participating store.
- Log in to your account with your username and password
- Go to “Profile" or "My Account”
- Simply click on “Withdraw”
- Select the amount of money you wish to take out Noe: that withdrawals are processed to the same account you used to deposit and can take up to 2-3 business days.
- Other brands may use other methods, but be sure to check your options and find one that works best for you.
