§ 02 — Background

Understanding the differences

How payment methods affect your experience

EFT is universally supported and the cleanest withdrawal path — funds go directly to your verified SA bank account. Processing time varies from same-day to 72 hours depending on platform and your bank. EFT deposits sometimes require manual reference matching at older platforms, though most modern operators have automated this.

Ozow is a faster instant-EFT alternative widely supported in SA. Deposits typically appear within minutes. Useful when you want to deposit and bet immediately rather than waiting for traditional EFT to clear.

Vouchers (1Voucher, OTT, Blu Voucher) are useful for low-friction small deposits and players who don't want to link a bank account directly. Voucher deposits often have very low minimums (R1-R10) compared to EFT minimums (R20-R50).

Credit and debit cards are widely supported but increasingly restricted by SA banks for gambling transactions — some banks block these transactions by default and require manual unblocking. EFT and Ozow tend to be more reliable for ongoing use.
