Betway is a sportsbook that also runs a casino-style games section, rather than a casino-only operator. The Betway brand was founded in 2006 and is now owned by Super Group, with South African operations run through the locally licensed entity Raging River Trading (Pty) Ltd, which holds a Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board bookmaker licence. It entered the South African market roughly a decade after the brand's founding and offers slots, live dealer tables and other casino games alongside its sports betting product.
Founded: 2006 (global company, founded in Malta); began operating in South Africa around 2017 as part of Betway Group's African expansion.
Operating company: Raging River Trading (Pty) Ltd (registration 2011/134505/07) operates Betway in South Africa. Betway itself is a global brand now owned by Super Group (SGHC) Ltd.
30x the bonus amount, wagered on Casino Games only. Directly confirmed by fetching Betway's own 'Betway Pedia' help article ('How to claim a Casino Games Bonus') on 2026-08-24: 'you will need to wager it 30 times on any Casino Games... Wagering on Sport, Lucky Numbers, Betgames, Virtuals, or any other vertical will not contribute to the minimum wagering requirements.' A third party review site's earlier claim of a 10x requirement is treated as incorrect or outdated now that Betway's own page has been read directly.
Status: Documented (read directly from the operator's own site). Bonus offers change often and must be confirmed on the operator's own terms page before claiming, last checked 2026-08-24.

Third-party reviews describe 24/7 support across live chat, WhatsApp, phone and email, but no verified SA-specific phone number or support email address could be confirmed independently; a phone number surfacing on a consumer-complaints aggregator site was not used since it could not be confirmed as Betway's genuine support line.
Holds a South African provincial bookmaker licence from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board. This covers sports betting; South Africa has no separate remote casino games licence category, so the casino-style games section itself sits in the same regulatory grey area as the rest of the industry (see /casino-methodology/). Holds a Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board bookmaker licence via its SA operating entity, Raging River Trading (Pty) Ltd. I directly fetched WCGRB's own public licence holder listing (wcgrb.co.za/gambling-devices-2/) and confirmed 'Raging River Trading (Pty) Ltd' appears in both the Bookmakers and Manufacturers sections, which is a materially stronger check than a typical affiliate claim, though the regulator's page does not itself publish the specific licence number. Covers sports betting; SA has no separate remote casino games licence category. [2026-08-24 direct-site re-check] Homepage, /promotions, /how-to-deposit and /contact-us on betway.co.za were checked directly and none displayed a footer licence number or regulator name in the content retrieved (footer did not fully render); this pass neither confirms nor contradicts the figure on file, it simply couldn't reach it. Also noted: betway.co.za geo-redirects non-SA traffic to the international betway.com/en-gb/ site (308), so any check done from outside South Africa risks silently landing on the wrong site.
Licence number: Bookmaker Licence Number 10181496-011, first issued 1 December 2016, per third-party sources (not independently confirmed against WCGRB's own published number list, which does not display individual licence numbers).. Offshore licensing authority: Not applicable / not yet verified.
