In-depth Review

Sportingbet is the largest online betting companies based in the United Kingdom owned by the GVC holdings Plc. The parent company was first established in 1997 but was more recently introduced in South Africa and has so far grown becoming the best in SA. The Sportingbet Company only allows punters above 18 years to join their gaming platform and will require ID numbers to ensure this policy is adhered to.

The brand name is registered in SA under the Netbet (Pty) Ltd is licensed and regulated by the Western Cape gambling & racing board. The Sportingbet website is accessed through www.sportingbet.co.za which will direct you to a light blue dominated page that is professional and stylish.

The app is also secure and makes making deposits & withdrawals simple, fast and easy. The app size is really small so we don’t have to worry about the space on smart phones we also get updates.

Great odds

If you are looking for odds above average on sportsbooks well Sportingbet is the best for you with markets having much higher odds than other bookmakers in SA. The odds on other markets are also great like horse racing, basketball among other popular events the only downside is that there are isn’t the ACCA bonus boost.

Welcome bonus

The bookmaker currently doesn’t currently have a welcome bonus to new punters. This is rather disappointing since other bookmakers offer welcome bonuses. However, experienced punters don’t really mind the welcome since they believe odds matter than the welcome since most offers have outrages and realistic wagering conditions.
