Disclaimer
Best Gambling Apps publishes information about licensed South African betting apps. This page sets out what you can rely on here and where the operator’s own terms take over.
Information only
- Everything here is published for information. It is not a betting tip or advice of any kind.
- Your odds stay the same whatever you read here. The National Responsible Gambling Programme points out that each bet is an independent event, so the result of one bet does not change the next, and no guide or review can improve your chances of winning.
- Treat betting as entertainment with a fixed budget. Decide what you can afford to lose before you start, because gambling is not a way to get rich quickly.
Figures and offers
- Offers are read from the operator’s own pages, and our guide to the best gambling apps in South Africa gives the date its welcome offer table was read.
- Offers can change without notice, so open the promotions page in the operator’s app and read the terms of the offer before you deposit.
- Where an operator does not publish something, we say so rather than filling the gap with a guess.
Links to operators
- The site is free and carries no advertising. Some of our links to operators are commercial links, and an operator may pay us a fee if you open an account through one. Our affiliate disclosure sets out which links these are.
- A link to an operator takes you to a site we do not run, and once you land there, that operator’s own terms apply to everything you do on it.
Your responsibility
- You must be 18 or older. Betting under 18 is against the law here, and Betway and LottoStar both print in their footers that no one under 18 may bet.
- Bet with a licensed South African bookmaker. The National Gambling Board says online betting is legal in South Africa with a bookmaker licensed by a provincial gambling board, and every operator on this site holds that kind of licence.
- Read the operator’s terms. They govern your account, not anything written here, and the National Gambling Board also tells online punters to check the terms and conditions on the operator’s site carefully.
Disclaimer FAQ
Is Best Gambling Apps a bookmaker?
No. We compare licensed betting apps and publish what we find, but you cannot bet, deposit or open an account on this site. Every bet is placed with the operator, under its own terms.
What if an offer on this site does not match the operator’s?
The operator’s version applies, because its promotions page and terms decide what you get. Tell us about the difference through our contact page and we will check it and correct our page.
Do you promise that an operator will pay out?
No. We check each operator’s licence, offer terms and ways to pay, but we have no access to your account with it, so we cannot see or settle a payout. If you have a dispute, raise it with the operator first. If that does not settle it, the National Gambling Board says to complain to the provincial board named on the operator’s licence.
