South Africa's own sportsbook & online casino
Whether it's a five-leg rugby acca, a Saturday PSL multi or watching the reels slow to that final symbol, Scorebet is built for how South Africans actually bet and play. It is one account, one wallet and everything in rand.
The sportsbook is built around how South Africans actually bet, whether that is a pre-match wager the night before or a live in-play call as the game swings, and you can cash out whenever it suits you.
The casino is handpicked rather than piled high, so every slot, table game and live-dealer title earns its place, and the whole floor is built to run fast on a phone.
Aviator is South Africa's favourite high-flyer, where you place your bet, watch the plane climb and cash out before it flies away. It is pure timing and nerve, and it runs around the clock.
Lucky Numbers lets you bet on the outcome of the world's biggest lottery draws, with no ticket to buy and the payouts set in advance by the bookmaker at fixed odds.
Why South Africans choose Scorebet
Scorebet is built for betting on your phone. It stays fast even on patchy 4G, works easily with one hand, and keeps a single account and one shared wallet across the sportsbook and the casino.
You can fund your account with Instant EFT, bank cards and trusted e-wallets. Deposits land instantly, and withdrawals are processed quickly so you get your winnings without a runaround.
Scorebet is licensed and regulated in South Africa. Every transaction is secured with encryption, and the casino games are independently audited by reputable studios.
You get welcome offers, boosted odds, acca bonuses, free spins and prize drops, and the terms behind each one are written in plain English so you know what you are claiming.
Common questions
Is online betting and casino legal in South Africa?
Yes, both are legal in South Africa as long as you play with a licensed operator. Scorebet is licensed and regulated by the Northern Cape Gambling Board, and you must be 18 or older to open an account and place a bet.
What can I bet on at Scorebet?
You can bet on sports such as soccer, rugby, cricket and tennis, play a full online casino, take on Aviator, and bet on the world's biggest lotto draws. Everything runs from one account and one shared wallet.
Is Scorebet mobile-friendly?
Yes, the site is built mobile-first, so it loads quickly even on a slower connection and is easy to use with one hand. Most betting in South Africa happens on a phone, and Scorebet is designed for exactly that.
How fast are deposits and withdrawals?
Deposits made with Instant EFT, bank cards and e-wallets reflect instantly, so you can bet straight away. Withdrawals are processed quickly once your account is verified, and the money is paid back on the same local rails.
Can I set limits on my play?
Yes, you can set deposit limits, turn on reality checks and use self-exclusion whenever you need to. If betting stops being fun, the National Responsible Gambling Programme offers free and confidential help on 0800 006 008.
Do I pay tax on betting winnings in South Africa?
For a recreational punter, betting and casino winnings are generally not taxed as income in South Africa — the tax and the levies sit with the licensed operator, not with your payout. The exception is someone betting as a full-time trade, whose profits can be treated as taxable income, so it matters once betting becomes your main source of money rather than a pastime.
How is betting Lucky Numbers different from buying a National Lottery ticket?
You are not buying a ticket or entering the draw — you place a fixed-odds bet on what the drawn numbers will be, and Scorebet pays you at an agreed price in rand. The money comes from the bookmaker at odds locked in when you bet, not from a shared prize pool split among other winners, so a big match pays the same whether one person hits it or a thousand do.
