Sports and betting

South Africa lives in sports: rugby (Springboks), cricket (Proteas) and football (Bafana Bafana, PSL Premiere) form the core of fan culture; netball, golf and motorsport are also strong.

Historically, horse racing and sweepstakes are significant.

Betting is legal when working with locally licensed provincial bookmakers: prematch and live, express, cashout, "lucky numbers" and virtual sports are available.

The online permit concerns sports betting; online casinos are still banned.

Mobile-first market in ZAR, fast payments and local support are valued.

Mandatory 18 +, KYC/AML, limits, self-exclusion and risk warnings - operators are assessed by the transparency of the coefficients and the quality of the responsible game.
