Pros, cons and verdict ⚖️

Pros
  • South African provincial licence
  • Card-free deposits by Capitec Pay, Instant EFT and Ozow
  • Cash deposits with OTT Voucher, 1Voucher, Kazang and Blu Voucher
  • Stated payout time: within 72 business hours of the funds being confirmed, plus bank clearing time
Cons
  • Withdrawals go only to a bank account in your own name, and EFT payouts need a bank statement
  • No Apexbets payout timed by us yet, so the payout time is the operator's own

Best for Capitec customers, paying in cash with vouchers, playing several of the games we cover in one place.

Apexbets scores 4.9 out of 5. On facts it is 4.5, built from a South African licence with a published number (3.5), four or more payment methods (0.5), a documented minimum deposit (0.25) and a documented welcome offer (0.25). How the score works
