Terms of Use
These terms cover your use of Best Gambling Apps. By using the site you accept them.
What this site is
- An information and comparison site about licensed South African betting apps, with our full comparison in the guide to the best gambling apps in South Africa.
- Separate from the bookmakers it covers. You cannot place a bet here, deposit here or hold an account here. Every bet is placed with the operator, under their terms.
- Free to use, with no registration, no charge and no advertising.
Who may use it
- You must be 18 or older. Under-18s may not bet in South Africa, and licensed operators such as Betway print that rule in their footers.
- Checking that your betting is legal is your responsibility. The National Gambling Board says online betting is legal with a licensed South African bookmaker, and licensed operators show their licence details on their home page.
- You must not be self-excluded from gambling with the operators listed here. The National Gambling Board says you can ask a casino operator or your provincial gambling board to exclude you, and your details are then passed to all other licensed venues so that they can stop you gambling.
Accuracy
- Offers, licence numbers, ways to pay and download routes come from each operator’s own site, read on a South African connection, and the welcome offer and payment tables in our guide show the date they were read.
- Offers and terms change without notice. The operator’s own promotions page and terms are the final word, so read them in the app before you deposit.
- Tell us if something is wrong through our contact page, and we will read the operator’s own pages again and put it right, on the same day where we can.
Links to other sites
- Links to operators can be commercial links, which means the operator may pay the site a fee when a reader signs up through one, as set out in our affiliate disclosure.
- We are not responsible for what happens on another company’s site, including its content, its terms and its treatment of your account. Each operator has its own policies, and we cannot see the account you hold with it, your balance or your bets.
Privacy and cookies
You can read every page without registering or giving us any personal details. Our privacy policy and cookie policy explain what happens when you visit and when you follow a link to an operator.
Our content
- The writing, tables and layout on this site belong to us. Copying pages wholesale is not permitted.
- Quoting a short passage with a link back is fine.
Liability
- Nothing here is financial advice or a tip. Betting decisions are yours, as our disclaimer explains.
- We are not liable for gambling losses, for an operator’s conduct, or for a change an operator makes to an offer after we published it.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of South Africa.
Terms of use FAQ
Is this site for readers outside South Africa?
Best Gambling Apps is written for adults in South Africa and covers South African licensed operators only. The National Gambling Board says South Africans cannot gamble with international companies from within the country.
Who do I complain to about a betting app?
Start with the operator’s own support team. If that does not settle it, take the complaint to the provincial gambling board that issued the operator’s licence, and if the board cannot help, write to the National Gambling Board at info@ngb.org.za.
Do these terms change?
They can. When the way the site works changes, we update this page, and the new terms apply from the day they are published.
Betting is for adults aged 18 and over. If it stops being fun, our responsible gambling page lists free, confidential help in South Africa, including the National Responsible Gambling Programme on 0800 006 008, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
