Review

WSB is a locally-owned bookmaker that has been operating since 2002, making it a well-established and experienced player in the industry. Throughout its existence, World Sports Betting has consistently prioritized meeting the desires of its customers, positioning itself at the forefront of online betting.

The growing reputation of WSB is evident through its partnerships with prominent sports teams such as the Johannesburg-based Super Rugby side, the Lions (also known as Emirates Lions), and the renowned cricket team, the Cape Cobras. Operating under a license issued by the Gauteng Gambling Board (GGB), WSB is committed to promoting responsible gambling. With Thawte SSL certificates in place, the website ensures a legal, fair, and secure betting environment for its users.

When it comes to free bets and signup offers, World Sports Betting provides a generous 100% deposit match bonus, allowing new customers to bet with double the amount deposited, up to R10,000. This offer gives users a total of R20,000 to wager with upon signing up.

In conclusion, World Sports Betting is a comprehensive bookmaker that caters to a wide range of customers. It offers substantial bonuses and promotions, as well as competitive odds across various markets. While an update to the platform and the introduction of a native WSB mobile app would be welcome improvements, WSB generally meets all the necessary requirements. Our research for this WSB review was highly positive, and we believe you will enjoy your experience with this bookmaker as well.

Website and Login

There’s nothing exceptional about the design of WSB’s website but it does the job that’s required of it. Even for total beginners, a quick scan through the homepage will clearly highlight where everything is. The main head menu (when viewing from a desktop) offers sports, in-play, racing, numbers and mobi. You then have a series of quick links to featured events running down the left and below them a complete index of the various sports categories you can bet on.
Each sports page has a few filters so it is easy to track down the match or league you’re interested in and overall navigation is very simple. A sign that the platform is a touch dated is that all of the prices are shown in fractional form. This isn’t really a major problem but it would be better if it used decimal like the majority of the other operators now do.

 

Live Betting

Soccer, rugby, cricket, American football, basketball, tennis and esports are just a few of the sports you can bet on in-play at WSB. 
You got a good selection of markets to choose from for most games, so finding a bet is easy. Remember to make use of the Sportradar live score centre to check out the stats first. The in-play betting platform has a cool match animation console built in which helps you follow the action. However, the main feature of WSB is its live streaming service. It streams hundreds of matches live each week through WSB TV, covering sports such as soccer, cricket, table tennis, handball, basketball, tennis and American football. This gives punters much better value for money as it is a complete sports entertainment platform all-in-one.

Deposits / Withdrawals

You have a variety of convenient payment methods at your disposal when it comes to funding your account in South Africa. These include:

Credit Cards
Debit Cards
ETFs
iPay
Cash Deposits
OTT Voucher
Bank Transfers
SID
Keep in mind that in order to activate the 100% matched deposit R10,000 sign-up bonus, you need to deposit at least R50 into your account. If you decide to request a withdrawal before playing through your initial deposit 1x, there will be a standard 5% admin fee. It’s worth noting that this is a common practice, and WSB is transparent about this policy. The timeframe for payouts varies depending on the method chosen. Bank transfers typically take 2 – 3 business days, while credit card withdrawals might take slightly longer.
