Sportingbet South Africa is operated locally by Greatodds (Pty) Ltd, trading as Sportingbet, and states it launched in South Africa in 2008 under a bookmaker licence from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board. The South African site sits within the wider international Sportingbet brand, which today is part of the Entain group alongside brands such as Ladbrokes, Coral and bwin. Alongside sports betting, the site carries a casino games section and promotes a locally based call centre for customer support.
Founded: 2008 (stated as the South African launch year on the operator's own site; the underlying corporate history is more complicated, see note)
Operating company: Greatodds (Pty) Ltd, of Granger Bay Court, Beach Road, Cape Town, trading as Sportingbet South Africa
Reported as 40x on the bonus amount plus winnings for casino/slots activity (versus 10x for sports bets at odds of 1.70 or higher for the sports portion), and separately a 20x wagering requirement on Live Dealer Games specifically for a distinct 'Live Games Welcome Offer' (up to R2,000, 30 day window). These figures come only from third party aggregators and Sportingbet's own indexed help centre page titles; every direct fetch of sportingbet.co.za and its promo. and help. subdomains was blocked by an IP based geo-block message this session, so none of this was read first hand.
Status: Claimed (sourced, not independently confirmed). Bonus offers change often and must be confirmed on the operator's own terms page before claiming, last checked 2026-08-25.

A mobile app is available. The site works on mobile browsers. iOS app confirmed directly via the App Store listing ('Sportingbet - Online Betting', apps.apple.com/za/app/sportingbet-online-betting/id737914749, requires iOS 12+). Third-party sources describe the Android app as a direct APK download from the operator's own site rather than via Google Play, consistent with Google Play's restrictions on real-money wagering apps in some regions; this Android detail was not independently confirmed on-site in this pass.
Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 22:00 (per third-party source; the operator's own site describes an 'award-winning local call centre' with multilingual support but the help page redirected to a subdomain that could not be reached in this pass)
Holds a South African provincial bookmaker licence: "Greatodds (Pty) Ltd of Granger Bay Court, Beach Road, Cape Town, trading as Sportingbet South Africa, is licensed by the Western Cape Gambling & Racing Board." This covers sports betting; South Africa has no separate remote casino games licence category, so the casino-style games section sits in the same regulatory grey area as the rest of the industry (see /casino-methodology/). Note: the licence number on file (10125193-018) was not visible in the footer text retrieved this pass; treat it as unconfirmed until cross-checked again. The operator's own homepage states directly: the site 'operates locally under our gambling licence granted by the Western Cape Gambling & Racing Board,' and the iOS App Store listing independently states 'Licensed and Regulated by the Western Cape Gambling & Racing Board.' The specific licence number 10125193-018 (already recorded in data/casinos.json) was not independently re-confirmed against the operator's own site or App Store listing in this pass, so the fact of WCGRB licensure is documented, but the specific number itself is carried over unverified this round.
Licence number: 10125193-018. Offshore licensing authority: Not applicable / not yet verified.
