Its Western Cape bookmaker licence was first issued on 1 December 2016, and its iPhone app reached the App Store on 1 September 2017. It is the title sponsor of the Premier Soccer League, now the Betway Premiership. In January 2023 it became title sponsor of the first SA20 cricket competition.

Paying in and out at Betway SA
Besides cards, Ozow and OTT vouchers, its deposit page offers Kazang, Shoprite Money Market, USSD and MTN Mobile Money. Its terms set R50 as the minimum by direct bank transfer, and crypto starts at R20.
Withdrawals go by EFT or FNB eWallet, or to a cash-send service or a 1ForYou voucher. Its terms cap them at R1,000,000 a customer a day. One withdrawal may come in several payments over several days, depending on the payment provider's limits.
Its pages give several payout times. The withdrawal page says up to 24 hours to process, and its terms say within 72 hours. Its FAQ gives one to two business days to reach a bank in one answer and two to five in another. So plan for 72 hours plus up to five business days to a bank account. An FNB eWallet is quicker by Betway's own figure, within 24 hours.

Pros, cons and verdict
Choose Betway SA for one account across its sportsbook and a large slot lobby (Spinomenal, Red Tiger, Habanero), with the lowest bet shown on every tile. Look elsewhere if you want Monopoly Live, SkyPilot or the original Red Baron. The Welcome Pack unlocks only after a wager of at least R50.
It is one of 8 brands we review licensed in more than one province. Shoprite Money Market is on no other brand's list.
