About ZARbet

ZARbet is run by Apollo Gaming (Pty) Ltd, a South African company with its registered office at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. Its About page says its bookmaker licence was first issued on 28 March 2024. The Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board lists Apollo Gaming among its licensed bookmakers. Its iPhone app first appeared in the App Store in June 2025.

What you find at ZARbet

On 16 October 2026 zarbet.co.za listed at least 205 games in its lobby.

The home page rows are almost all slots, with a single table game. The Evolution group (Evolution, NetEnt, Red Tiger, Nolimit City) supplies 61 of them, Pragmatic Play 36, and 35 are its own ZARbet Original games, made by Apollo, the company behind ZARbet.

Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza, 777 Strike and Starburst are among them. It has 15 crash games, Aviator, Spaceman, High Flyer and Big Bass Crash among them, but none is in the home page rows. There are no Habanero or SmartSoft Gaming games, so JetX, Hot Hot Fruit and Wealth Inn are missing.

Pros, cons and verdict 

Choose ZARbet for its sportsbook, slots from Pragmatic Play and the Evolution group's studios, and a welcome match from R20. Look elsewhere if you want JetX, Hot Hot Fruit or Wealth Inn, or a home page full of crash games and game shows. If you take the welcome bonus, plan for its 30x wagering, which its terms let you play on any of its games.
