So, you’re ready to bet, spin, or take your shot at those lucky numbers. Great. But before you can dive into all the action on YesPlay, there’s one thing you need to get right — your account. The good news? The whole thing is a breeze, provided you tick the right boxes. Let’s walk you through it, no fluff.
Step 1: Create Your Account
You’ve got three ways to join the party — pick what suits your style:
Mobile Number Login (Most common):
- Head to www.yesplay.bet
- On the home screen, enter your South African mobile number.
- Click the green Enter button.
- You’ll receive a one-time SMS code — punch it in.
- Boom. You’re in.
Social Logins:
- Prefer linking things up? Use Google or Apple ID to sign in. Just hit the button and follow the quick steps. (Pro tip: if you’ve already registered with your phone number, you can connect your social accounts later.)
Step 2: Meet the Requirements
Before you even think about uploading docs, make sure you qualify:
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Have a South African mobile number registered in your name.
- South African citizens: Provide a valid SA ID document.
- Foreign nationals in SA: Provide a valid passport and proof of residence.
Step 3: Verify with FICA
YesPlay doesn’t play around with compliance — and neither should you. They follow FICA rules to prevent fraud and keep everyone above board, ensuring your safety and security.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Identification
- SA Citizens: Valid South African ID
- Foreign Nationals: Valid passport
Proof of Residence (not older than 3 months)
Pick one:
- Utility bill (electricity, rates, rental, etc.)
- Bank statement from a registered institution
- Tax return or letter from SARS
- Doctor’s letter with physical address
- DStv or telecoms account
- Municipal letter
Upload your documents through your account dashboard or email them if required. Once verified, you’ll be free to deposit and withdraw without a hitch.
What If You Forget Your Password?
Happens to the best of us. Here’s the fix:
- Go to yesplay.bet
- Click Sign In / Sign Up
- Enter your registered mobile number
- Click Enter
- Choose “Forgot Password”
- Enter the 4-digit SMS code you receive
- Set a new password
- Done
Not a SA Citizen but Still in South Africa?
You can still register, no problem. Just make sure you’re residing in South Africa and you’ve got:
- A valid passport
- Proof of residence (not older than 3 months)
