Place a bet

In the Specials category, you can bet on events from the world of politics and show business.

The number of outcomes, even for top football matches, is decent but not impressive – from 180 to 200. Up to 100 betting options are offered for popular basketball and tennis events. As for niche sports, there may be only 5-10 betting options here. Sometimes in such cases, the bookmaker is limited to basic bets like 1, X, 2. But there are markets for popular horse racing in South Africa. You can bet on both local and international competitions.
