Gbets has several promos and bonuses for new and existing punters to enjoy. There’s R25 no deposit free when you join so you can get a taste of betting on your favourite sports or games. You can also claim 100% up to R1,000 on your first deposit to really kick your online betting experience into life. So, it’s off to a good start, but let’s go inside to unearth what else Gbets has for us.

Website and Login

Gbets, like many other South African owned bookmakers, is powered by BetTech Gaming software. This has proven to be a double-edged sword for customers. On the one hand, the site has a familiar feel to it. This makes navigation simple if you’ve had experience on another site running this same software. On the downside, many BetTech sportsbooks are virtually identical in the bonuses and market prices they offer. With that said, it appears Gbets has broken the mould with its registration offer and the first deposit bonus is different as well, so we’re optimistic that this site is trying to make its own mark.

For those who are brand new to online betting, Gbets website is user-friendly but it could be better. For instance, when you load a page to view the markets there is no way to return to the previous page. You need to use the menu again and search from there, which is rather tedious at times. Whilst Gbets might not possess as many extra features as the bigger brands, like Sportingbet, it does still have a few notable things to mention.

Mobile App

Betting on the go is the way forward nowadays and Gbets mobile is a good place to do it. There isn’t a specific app that punters need to download, so you can jump straight into the action on any portable device with an internet connection simply by visiting https://www.gbets.co.za. 
As this is a mobile responsive website, there isn’t too much difference between the desktop display and Gbets mobile platform other than the menus are compressed on a smaller screen. We found it easy to use and the lightweight pages are quick to load and responsive. Mobile customers still get all the same benefits. Pre-match and live betting, lotto games, sign up and deposit bonuses are all available. Banking is hassle-free and it uses SSL certificates to offer a high-level of security as well.

Deposits / Withdrawals

With most of South Africa’s most popular payment methods available, funding your Gbets account is effortless.

  • Credit Cards
  • Debit Cards
  • SID Transfers
  • MiMoney
  • EFT Transfers
  • In-Branch Bank Transfers
  • Cash Deposits
As is standard procedure in the country, FICA verification must be complete before any withdrawals will be processed. Furthermore, all deposits must be bet at least once before a withdrawal can be made (this is to prevent money laundering activities). Customers can expect to receive their winnings within 2 business of making a withdrawal request.
