How to Open a Betting Account

• Your South African ID or passport number. You must be 18 or older; underage gambling is a criminal offence and an account in a false name cannot be cashed out.
• A mobile number and email address you control — both are used to verify the account and to recover it.
• A bank account or payment method in your own name. Not required to register, but required to withdraw, and it must match the registered name.
• Proof of identity and address for FICA. Not needed at signup, but worth having ready.

1. Open the registration form and enter your personal details — full names, ID number, date of birth.
2. Add your mobile number and email, and confirm the verification code sent to you.
3. Set a strong, unique password. Not one you use anywhere else; this account will hold money.
4. Accept the terms and confirm you are over 18.
5. Complete any identity verification prompted, then deposit when you are ready.

Enter your names exactly as they appear on your ID document. A shortened first name, a missing middle name or a maiden surname will pass registration happily and then fail FICA later — at the point where you are trying to withdraw and least want a delay.

Three things take two minutes now and save real trouble later.

Upload your FICA documents immediately. Verification is required before a first withdrawal. Doing it at registration means it clears in the background while you are playing, instead of standing between you and your winnings.

Set a deposit limit. The moment to decide what you are willing to spend is now, while nothing is at stake — not mid-session when you are behind. Limits can be lowered instantly; raising one is deliberately delayed. See the tools for staying in control.

Read the welcome offer terms before your first deposit. Qualifying minimums, eligible payment methods and wagering requirements are all decided by that first transaction, and a deposit made outside the terms cannot be retro-fitted to the offer afterwards.

Fund the account when you are ready — the deposit walkthrough covers each method, or compare them on the payment methods page. If you are new to the games themselves, the rundown of what each game type asks of you is the sensible next read.

One account per person. Duplicate accounts are closed on discovery and any winnings on them are typically voided, so if you cannot get into an old account, recover it rather than opening a second one.
