Welcome bonus R50 bonus + free spins on three Habanero slots on sign-up, then 100% up to R1,000
Offer terms

The R50 must be used within 24 hours of account activation, and turned over in full at odds of 5/10 or more before it can be withdrawn. The spins, at R0.30 each, are for Hot Hot Fruit, Wild Trucks or Candy Tower. Its sign-up card says 50 spins, while the offer's own terms say 25, with winnings wagered 10 times and at most R240 paid out. A first deposit of R100 or more brings a 100% casino bonus up to R1,000 on selected casino games, paid once the deposit has been wagered 20 times within 7 days; slots count in full and crash games not at all.

Wagering is how many times a bonus has to be bet before it can be withdrawn.

About Luckyfish

Lucky Fish is a trading name of Race Coast Western Cape (Pty) Ltd, a South African company with offices in Kenilworth, Cape Town, and in Gqeberha. Its footer lists bookmaker licences in three provinces, the Eastern Cape one issued on 22 June 2021 and the Mpumalanga one on 22 January 2025. Its iPhone app, Lucky Fish SA, first appeared in the South African App Store on 15 October 2025.

What you find at Luckyfish

On 16 October 2026 luckyfish.co.za listed 4,550 games in its lobby.

Its games come from 73 studios. The biggest are Pragmatic Play (619), Red Tiger (242), Yggdrasil (235) and Playtech (222), with Spinomenal and Habanero next. The gaming section sorts games by type with a count for each, and Gates of Olympus, Hot Hot Fruit, Book of Dead and Crazy Time are all there.

Crash holds 59 games, with Aviator, JetX, Skyward and Aviatrix first, and Big Bass Crash and Sky Cash further in. Live shows and tables from Evolution, Playtech and Pragmatic Play sit under Game Shows and the other types rather than a live tab. Game Shows opens with Crazy Time, Lightning Storm and Fan Tan. Red Baron, High Flyer, Mega Ball and Ice Fishing are not in the lobby.

Lucky Numbers sits on the sports side and opens without logging in. Draws are sorted by country, with South Africa, the United Kingdom and Russia among those marked as popular, and results are a tab away.

Pros, cons and verdict 

Choose Lucky Fish for a very wide lobby, crash games from Aviator to JetX and Aviatrix, and Lucky Numbers beside its sports. Look elsewhere if you want Red Baron, High Flyer or Mega Ball. If you take the sign-up offer, check the spin count first: its banner says 50 spins on Hot Hot Fruit, the offer's own terms 25.

It is one of 8 brands we review licensed in more than one province. Its R1 minimum deposit is the lowest we have found at any brand we cover. Absa Pay and Stitch are on no other brand's list.
