- Bookmaker licence 10181496-012 from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, as listed on the NGB register.
- We could not reach Betway's own help pages when we checked in October 2026, so its payment, withdrawal and support details show as Check site in the table.
- Third-party sites quote Betway minimum deposits anywhere from R5 to R50. That spread is a good reason to check the cashier yourself.
