Betting sites and casinos in South Africa, ranked
One list, every brand, each with the licence it actually holds and the number to check it against. A Western Cape bookmaker licence and a Curacao or Anjouan one are not the same thing, and the row tells you which you are looking at. How we rate
All of them side by side 🔍
The same ranking in one screen. Payout times are what the operator states, not what we have timed: we have not withdrawn our own money from any of these yet, and the day we do, this column changes.

Reading the licence line
South African bookmakers are licensed province by province: the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board issues the most online licences, with Mpumalanga, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, the Northern Cape and others running their own registers. A licence number in that format can be checked against the board that issued it.
Brands licensed in Curacao or on Anjouan accept South African players and settle in rand, but they are regulated somewhere else, and a dispute goes to a regulator on another continent rather than to a provincial board here. Neither the National Gambling Act nor a provincial board covers them. That is the practical difference the row is showing you, and it is worth more than a label.
Where a row carries no licence line at all, it means we did not find one stated on the operator's own site. We would rather leave it blank than guess at a regulatory record. Our guide to the legal position sets out how the law actually reads.
