Operator FAQ
Our FAQ section will answer a host of questions that pertain to creating a valid gambling online account. Use this section to answer your queries and you may well be up and running before you know it.
What are the valid gambling licenses I should trust?
When it comes to gambling licenses, there are a couple that can always be trusted. Depending on the operator in question, it may be an international license or a local license. For international sites that offer online gambling South Africa, keep an eye out for licenses from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) or the British Gambling Commission. Local licenses will most likely be issued by a provincial agency such as the Gauteng Gambling Board or the Western Cape Gambling Board. However, you will find gambling boards for each province. All of which can be trusted.
Is it possible to create multiple gambling accounts?
You can only create one account per person on any one site for gambling online. However, you can open multiple accounts as long as each account is at a different provider. Thus, you can choose 2 or 3 operators – or as many as you like – from our featured list and sign up without any issues.
What documentation do I need when signing up?
At the bare minimum, you will require a copy of your ID book or Smart ID. You will also be able to use your passport and driver’s license. In some cases, you will be required to submit proof of registration. Follow the prompts during the registration process and only supply credible sources with your personal information.
Must I make a real money deposit immediately?
No, you do not need to make a real money deposit immediately. However, you might need to make a deposit within a certain period of time if you wish to claim bonuses. However, this is not a general rule. For the most part, you are free to make a deposit whenever it suits you.
