§ 02 · What it means

What to look for

Instant EFT and Capitec Pay

Instant EFT services such as Ozow let you pay from your bank account without sharing card details, and the money usually reflects straight away. Capitec Pay works the same way for Capitec clients. Both are widely offered.

Prepaid vouchers

Vouchers such as 1Voucher, OTT and BluVoucher are bought with cash at a shop and then loaded onto your account. They suit small deposits and people who would rather not link a bank account, but most can only be used to deposit, so you still need a bank account or eWallet to withdraw.

Withdrawals

The first withdrawal is nearly always the slowest, because the bookmaker has to complete your FICA check. Upload your ID and proof of address when you open the account. After that, delays usually come from mismatched names on your bank account or from trying to withdraw bonus money before the wagering is done.

Keep deposits in proportion

Low minimums make it easy to top up again and again. Decide on a monthly amount before you start and set it as a deposit limit. Our bankroll calculator can help you pick a number.

Common questions

You asked.

It depends on the bookmaker and the method. Of the sites we checked, 10Bet accepts R5 by voucher and R10 by card or EFT, and Hollywoodbets accepts from R1 with some instant EFT and Capitec Pay options. For the others we could not confirm a figure on their own sites, so check the cashier.

It varies by bookmaker and method. 10Bet states about an hour for EFT during real-time clearing hours and up to 24 hours otherwise. Hollywoodbets says bank withdrawals are processed on weekdays in banking hours and take 24 to 48 hours to clear. Your first withdrawal takes longer because of FICA checks.

Usually not to the same voucher you deposited with. Some bookmakers pay out to eWallets or voucher products, but most withdrawals go to a bank account in your own name.

Operators change these details without notice, so check their own sites before you sign up. We have an affiliate agreement with Hollywoodbets; see our About page. 18+ only.
