Where we have a route to a casino, the button opens that casino. Where we do not, it says "Play at Hollywoodbets instead" and tells you in bold that it is not opening the brand you were reading about — most sites make that swap silently. The directory marks every brand we earn nothing from, so you can see exactly where the money is and is not.
Before you play
Every casino we list has deposit limits, session reminders and self-exclusion built in. They work, but only if you set them on day one. If gambling has stopped being entertainment, free and confidential counselling is available from the National Responsible Gambling Programme.
South African law licenses land-based casinos and sports betting, but does not currently license online casino operators based in the country. Most sites accepting South African players operate offshore under a Curaçao licence. Hollywoodbets is the exception in our rankings — it holds a South African provincial licence. We explain what that distinction means for you in our guide to rand casinos.
Eight of the nine casinos we rank hold balances in rand, so there is no currency conversion on deposits, bonuses or withdrawals. 10Bet is multi-currency and will convert. We list the currency handling on every review page because a conversion spread of two or three percent quietly costs more than most bonus differences are worth.
When you open an account through a link marked as a partner link, the operator may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing and it does not change our scores — our five scoring pillars are published in full on how we rate, and the overall score is calculated from them, not set by hand.
Because a comparison site that only shows you its own partners is not a comparison site. Our directory covers every brand we track, marked by whether we have a commercial relationship with it. Where we have no route to an operator, the button on its review opens Hollywoodbets instead — and says so in bold, rather than making the substitution quietly the way this industry usually does.
Local operators paying directly to a South African bank account typically clear within one to two business days once the withdrawal passes review. International operators routing through card networks or e-wallets take longer. Our withdrawal times guide sets out what affects the clock.
