Sportingbet Review 2024

Our experts reviewed all the Sportingbet bonuses and promotions and realized that the bookmaker provides South African bettors with a good range of bonuses tailored to new and existing users. First-time users can claim their welcome bonuses up to their first three deposits. Other bonuses existing users can claim include 2Up Early Payout, Bet Boost, and cashback. The following section of this Sportingbet review contains more details from our experts about the bonuses on this site.

Sportingbet Welcome Bonus

As mentioned earlier, Spotingbet’s welcome offer extends to your first 3 consecutive deposits. Your first deposit attracts a 100% match bonus up to R1,000. Meanwhile, your second and third deposits attract 50% and 75% deposit bonus up to R1,000 and R1,000, respectively.

We at MightyTips inspected the bookmaker’s bonus terms and realized that the least amount you can deposit to claim any of the offers is R50. However, the bonus will only be available for a short time. The first deposit must be used within 72 hours, while the second and third deposit bonuses must be used within 48 hours.

Just ensure you thoroughly go through the terms and conditions of the bonuses on the site before you claim. This will help you claim the offers successfully.

Sportingbet Ongoing Bonuses

Our experts analyzed all the Sportingbet ongoing bonuses and are pleased with the findings. There are more than 5 different bonuses you can claim, including 2Up Early Payout, Bet Boost, and others that we’ll discuss below:

– 2Up Early Payout: With this bonus, you can get a payout even if the matches are not over on a “match winner bet”. The only condition is that your team must score two or more goals then their opponents, even if your team loses the match. The offer is valid in over 140 football leagues, including the UEFA Champions League and Italian Serie A.

– Football Multi-Insurance: You can get a cashback in the form of a free bet offer up to R500 if your football multi-bet ticket loses due to one leg. To qualify, your ticket must contain at least 5 events with a minimum of 1.50 odds on each event. Note that the bets must be placed and settled on the same day. Also, the least stake to qualify is R5.

To claim, your ticket must contain a minimum of two events with at least 1.25 odds per selection. If your bet is successful, the operator will add 2% - 500% to your payout, depending on the number of events on your ticket.

Our experts inspected Sportingbet’s rewards and VIP section and discovered that it currently has two levels and admits members strictly based on invitation: Gold and Platinum. Members of the VIP receive different perks, including weekly deposit bonuses, free bets, monthly prize draws, less than 1 hour fast withdrawals, a dedicated account manager, and other personalized offers.

According to our experts’ review of Sportingbet security and license, the operator is licensed and regulated in South Africa by the Western Cape Gambling & Racing Board, with the license number - 10125193-018. The body is responsible for checking the operators' activities in the country and ensuring fairness to users.

We also noticed that Sportingbet’s site is secured with industry-standard security technologies such as SSL. With this, the personal and financial details of users are hidden from third-party actors such as hackers.

Also, the search bar makes it very simple for bettors to find the events they wish to bet on.

Design

According to our experts’ views, Sportingbet’s site is beautiful to behold, with a perfect blend of blue and white colours. Also, the betting markets and options are well arranged and don’t obstruct you from scrolling to different sections of the site. While the desktop and mobile versions of the site may have some differences in appearance, they offer similar experiences when it comes to navigation.

From our experts' point of view, Sportingbet offers an exceptional mobile experience. It offers a dedicated mobile application available for iOS and Android devices with a 3.8/5 rating on the iOS App Store. We didn’t find the Sportingbet app on the Google Play store – you can only install it via their site. We explored the app, which gave us access to all the features we used on the desktop, including quick bet, live chat, live streaming, and match stats.

Our experts also accessed the site via mobile browsers and found it to be highly responsive and user-friendly. The mobile version mirrors the app’s functionality, giving access to every section of the site. We are also impressed with how well the site is fitted to different mobile devices, irrespective of their operating systems.

The site also makes it easy for you to make a deposit using popular South African e-wallets like FNB e-wallets. Regarding deposit limits, the site doesn’t really mention its deposit limits, but after trying to deposit, we realized that you could fund your account with at least R10 using Ozow and 1Voucher, while it’s R50 on options such as Mastercard, Visa Card, and EFT.

• Minimum Deposit: R10

The Sportingbet’s sports betting section is blessed with a wide coverage of sports, reaching up to 50+. We were impressed to find out that, in addition to popular sports, the bookmaker also covers other niche sports like darts and chess. Here are more details about the section.

Sports Coverage

The sports selection at Sportingbet is one of the biggest we’ve seen - 50+ sports. It covers some of the most popular sports like football, basketball, horse racing, tennis, rugby, and boxing. The operator also takes it a bit further by covering more niche sports like chess, darts, politics, surfing, and water polo.

Our experts are also very impressed with the level of the site’s coverage of international and local leagues. Bettors can bet on widely known leagues like the UEFA Champions League, Italian Serie A, NBA, WNBA, EuroLeague, etc. That said, you can also bet on less popular leagues like the Belgian Pro League, Japanese J1 League, and Liga ACB.

Sports Odds

We are very impressed with the Sportingbet’s sports odds on games. We compared it with those of a few competitors and discovered that although it’s not the best in the industry, Sportingbet’s odds are competitive. For example, the draw odds for the Europa match between FK Astana and Chelsea was 5.0 on Sportingbet, while it’s 4.90 on other competitors. By reviewing the margin, we also noticed that it’s between 4% and 7%, which is still within the average margins in the industry.

Live Betting and Streaming

The live betting section has a wide range of betting options, covering about 15 sports. We’re impressed with how arranged the section is and its deep betting options. Some of the sports you can bet on their live events are football, basketball, handball, volleyball, ski jumping, and ice hockey.

There’s also a live-streaming you can use to watch live events of some games, which can help you place more personalized bets.

Betting Limits

Our experts inspected the betting section on Sportingbet and noticed that the site has no betting limits. This means that you have the flexibility of betting any amount that is convenient for you.

Sportingbet Betting Markets

We are impressed with the wide variety of betting markets you can bet on Sportingbet. For instance, football bettors can bet on popular options like match winner, over/under, correct scores, draws, and both teams to score. Also, in basketball, we saw markets like point spread, moneyline, player props, and over/under.

Sportingbet Deposit Limits

Just as we mentioned earlier, the deposit limits here are not the same across all payment options. While you can fund your account with at least R10 using options such as Ozow and 1Vourcher, the least you can deposit on options like Mastercard and Visa Card is R50. R36,000 is the highest you can deposit at a time.

Our experts checked every section at Sportingbet Sportsbook and discovered that the site does not offer esports titles. While this is a notable limitation to bettors who enjoy betting on League of Legends and other esports games, we do hope the operator introduces them shortly.

Although not the best we’ve seen recently, Sportingbet’s casino section has some good titles of over 500 games sourced from reputable providers. Here are more details about the section:

Software Providers

We found games from respected game providers like Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming, Netent, and Nolimit City. These reputable brands have been around in the industry, providing games to well-known platforms.

Selection of Casino Games

Although Sportingbet has a limited collection of casino games compared to some of its competitors, it has a great selection of slot and table games. Sweet Bonanza, Star Light Princess, Gates of Olympus, and 777 Strike are some popular slots we found at Sportingbet. We also found some table games you’ll love, including Cash or Crash, roulette, poker, and baccarat.

Live Dealer Games

With over 100 titles, the live dealer section of Sportingbet houses some incredible titles, like Lightning Roulette, Live Roulette, VIP Roulette, and Mega Ball, hosted by professional dealers from HD studios.

Minimum/Maximum Deposits

The deposit limits at Sportingbet’s casino section are the same as the sports section. You can fund your account with as low as R10 and as high as R36,000 at a time.

We are pleased with the simple account creation process at Sportingbet. You can practically complete it in less than 2 minutes. If you’re curious about how to go about it, the following steps will guide you:

1. Click the Register button
2. Enter your email address and password
