Afribet brings a polished betting venue to the South African scene with a combination of sports betting, casino games, horse racing, and even global lotteries. A continuation of Les Kourie, the bookmaker blends traditional expertise with modern technology, combined in one product, targeting punters who seek both variety and reliability. Whether you are a junkie for sports or that casual punter who does his occasional lottery bets, Afribet has something for all.
How to Sign Up
Creating an Afribet account is a walk in the park—no hurdles, no fuss. The platform asks for the basics: your name, a valid phone number, and a password. As long as you’re over 18 and can tick the “I’m not a robot” box, you’re good to go.
Promotions and Bonuses
When it comes to bonuses, Afribet seems to be of the belief that “the more, the merrier.” Newbies get a 100% First Deposit Bonus of up to R5000. Sure, the eight-times wagering requirement might sound like a lot, but trust us–it’s actually par for the course in the betting world.
The biggest distinction is the Afribet Daily Deposit Bonuses: each day of the week has its magic. The Freaky Fridays offer a juicy extra of 50%, whereas if multibets happen to be your game, then you are in for a treat–the Multibet Bonus rewards you accordingly the more legs your bet slip carries, up to an astonishing 130%.
That said, we’ve seen platforms with lower playthrough requirements on deposit bonuses, so if you’re not up for heavy wagering, this might be worth considering.
Sports Betting
The sportsbook from Afribet was designed to appease everything from the casual fan to the seasoned punter. Their local leagues feature front and center – the PSL, or Premier Soccer League, is definitely a crowd pleaser among soccer enthusiasts. When it comes to international love, the bookie really opens the vault, providing not only staple leagues like the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and other more obscure leagues like the Turkish Super Lig.
The betting markets go far beyond the simple win/lose options. You can expect to find over/under, handicap betting, first goal scorer, and even combination bets, which let you mix and match different predictions. Such examples include combining “both teams to score” with a match result prediction for a potentially impressive payout, provided you’re confident in your analysis.
Afribet also shines with its live betting feature. Picture this: it’s the 70th minute of a heated soccer match, and the score is tied 1-1. The sportsbook offers real-time odds that adjust with every corner, foul, or yellow card. This makes for an adrenaline-filled experience, especially if you’re following the game closely.
Besides soccer, the venue offers a broad portfolio of sports such as rugby, cricket, basketball, tennis, and more niche options like eSports. For those who enjoy virtual sports, animated games are available, simulating real-life events with fast results and odds that change in real time.
Casino Games
The AfriBet casino is buzzing with life, but the sweethearts of them all are Sweet Bonanza and Wolf Gold. The slots lovers will be on cloud nine, but the true magic happens in the live casino. There is something weirdly satisfying when a real-life dealer shuffles cards in Blackjack and Baccarat.
Now, for the funny little moment: we had a try at Mega Roulette here and placed a very confident bet on his “lucky” number. Let’s just say the “lucky” part didn’t last too long. Oh, well, that is where the beauty of the game lies in live casinos–you win some, you lose some.
Horse Racing
If horse racing is your thing, Afribet won’t disappoint. It features both local races and international ones like Royal Ascot. The schedules are pretty detailed, and the interface is user-friendly–a welcome relief because trying to decipher racing stats can feel like attempting to solve a Sudoku puzzle.
Lotteries
The lottery section at Afribet is a virtual tour around the globe: from Russia Gosloto to UK Lotto, you can choose your numbers for different international draws. That’s good for the time when you feel your lucky star is shining, but don’t feel like betting on sports or casinos just yet.
Payments and Withdrawals
Afribet offers plenty of payment options, including Visa, MasterCard, and Ozow. Withdrawals can be made via EFT, betting shop collections, or instant money services. While the process is straightforward, keep in mind that the minimum withdrawal amount is R100.
Pro tip: EFT withdrawals might take a bit longer compared to instant money options, so plan ahead if you’re cashing out before a big weekend.
Mobile Betting
As expected, Afribet’s mobile experience is all about simplicity and effectiveness. So while there is no app on the store for iOS users, it is possible for Android users to download the Afribet APK file directly from the website. The application itself does not take much space, but requires at least Android 5.0 to function.
Setting up the app is a manual process, a throwback to days before Google Play was a thing. Don’t be alarmed, it’s as easy as making pancakes. Just download the APK file, allow your phone settings to install apps from unknown sources, and voilà.
That’s what is so great about this application: it has managed to copy the desktop site with regards to features, be it sports betting, slot spinning, or live odds. Moreover, this app will keep you in the loop with its push notifications so that you won’t miss anything from a promo to a live bet.
For those who don’t want to download the app, Afribet’s mobile-optimized website is just as functional. It’s responsive, quick, and designed for a smooth experience on smaller screens. Whether you’re placing a bet during halftime or scrolling through the casino games while waiting for your coffee, Afribet ensures you’re always in the game.
Customer Support
Afribet support is solid. You can reach them via email (support@afribet.bet), WhatsApp (071 788 4887), or phone (010 880 5271), and for those who prefer face-to-face support, there are branches in Johannesburg and Sandton. Refreshing to see a platform still holding on to in-person support in a world going fully digital.
