In one line: deposits are instant almost everywhere, by Capitec Pay, instant EFT, a voucher from the till or card. Withdrawals are where bookmakers differ, so check how you’ll get paid before you choose how to pay in.

From each bookmaker’s own payment and help pages, checked 13 October 2026; Betfred and Virgin Bet 2 November 2026. Deposits at Virgin Bet start at R10; Betfred doesn’t publish its minimums. Methods change: check the cashier before you pay.
Capitec Pay
Approve the payment in your Capitec app, and the money lands in seconds. No card details, no reference to type. 10bet and Lucky Fish list Capitec Pay; at YesPlay, Capitec customers deposit by EFT, from R100.
Instant EFT
Services like Ozow connect to your bank and push the payment straight through, so it reflects immediately. You log in to your bank through the payment page, so only ever use the bookmaker’s own cashier. A manual EFT works too, but it can take longer and needs the right reference: at YesPlay, a deposit with the wrong reference costs a R10 admin fee and is allocated by hand on weekdays.
Vouchers
Buy a voucher with cash at the till (Shoprite, Checkers, Pep, Ackermans, Boxer, many garages and spazas), then type the PIN into the bookmaker’s cashier. It’s the way to bet without a bank card, and the smallest deposits start here: 10bet takes 1ForYou and OTT vouchers from R5.
Keep the slip until the money reflects, and never share the PIN with anyone who contacts you.
Card
Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards work at most bookmakers. Using credit to bet is a quick way to turn a fun weekend into a debt: use a debit card or another method if you can.
Getting paid
You’ll usually withdraw to a bank account in your own name. Three of our bookmakers also pay out as cash you draw at an ATM or till, through Instant Money, FNB eWallet, Absa CashSend or Nedbank Send-iMali: 10bet, Lucky Fish and YesPlay, with Easybet after your first withdrawal has gone to your bank. Withdrawals, limits and what to do if one is stuck.
Safety first
- Pay only through the bookmaker’s own cashier, on its own site or app.
- Use an account in your own name. Bookmakers won’t pay out to someone else’s.
- No bookmaker will ask for your banking password or a one-time PIN by WhatsApp or phone.
