Let’s dive into BetOlimp, one of those betting platforms that has gained considerable momentum in the South African market. If you’re anything like us, you probably appreciate a platform that offers a decent range of options without overcomplicating things. From sports betting to a solid line-up of casino games, the venue certainly packs a punch, but does it land the knockout? Let’s see.

How to Register: Quick and Painless

Getting started with BetOlimp is no different than any other sportsbook and takes less than five minutes or so. You will have to fill in your usual information – name, email, ID among others, and done. They even have a section where you can upload your documents for verification. We appreciate a betting site that sticks to the legal side of things, even if it means a bit more effort upfront.

Bonuses & Promotions: A Mixed Bag of Goodies

We have seen them, right, those flashy banners promising big bonuses? BetOlimp is no different in that respect. The First Deposit Offer is pretty straightforward: make your first deposit, and they’ll match it 100% up to R3,000. We have to say, the terms are fairly standard: deposit at least R50, and away you go. But, here comes the kicker, you have to wager the bonus and top-up amount six times and only at odds of 2.00 or over.

Now, if you’re a little more frugal with your wallet, the European Big 5 Cashback can be your insurance. That gives you 10% back on your net losses from betting on the big football leagues: Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1. Considering the nature of sports, that’s a nice little incentive, but we wouldn’t count on it too much. Well, it’s like getting a hug after having lost badly – comforting, but it doesn’t take the sting away. But if your bets don’t go quite right, it cushions the blow somewhat.

Our favorite of the lot, yes, we’ve got one, is the Multi-Bet Bonus Boost. If stacking bets is your thing, then this is for you. The more selections you add in your multi-bet, the bigger your bonus gets, starting at 2% for two selections, and right up to 30% for 25 selections. There is more for the ACCA bettors. If you’ve been there – one leg fails and boom, you are sure to appreciate it. We are talking about the Acca Insurance. If one leg in your 5+ accumulator bet goes sideways, you get your money back as a bonus. This one becomes a lifeline.

Sportsbook: A Playground for Every Kind of Punter

If like us you like more leeway in your online betting, you’ll spend a decent chunk of your time in BetOlimp’s sportsbook. It’s well laid out and covers all the usual suspects: soccer, tennis, basketball, and more. Refreshingly, there’s a great mix of mainstream and niche sports. Sure, we’re betting on Manchester City or Juventus like everyone else, but who can resist a cheeky punt on something like eSports?

And, of course, there’s the thing with live betting. What’s the feeling that can compete with laying a bet while the game is still on? We tried some tennis matches, and the odds moved faster than we could place bets.

For those of us who like a little local flavor, the selection of South African sports available on BetOlimp isn’t bad at all. We’ve been eyeing some of the rugby and cricket matches lately, and although it is nowhere near the offering for soccer, it’s enough to keep things interesting.

Casino Games: A Quick Spin on the Slots

With over 100 on offer, BetOlimp doesn’t have the biggest slot collection out there but it’s quite good nonetheless. You’ve got your old-school classics like 777 Strike, but then you’ve also got Diamond Blitz and Wings of Ra, who’ve become the fan favorites in rapid time. We’d be honest the section felt a bit tiny and empty, but once you get spinning, you easily get swept away. Not to say that we are compulsive gamblers or anything, but, hey, what’s one more spin?

What impressed us, though, is the good selection. You’re not stuck with the same stale reused games. Games like Book of Shadows and Cash Ultimate offer up new gameplay. While we were mostly here for the sports, these slots are a great little way to take your mind off when you need a change of pace.

Live Casino: Bringing the Action to You

A special mention has got to go to the live casino here: From Roulette to Blackjack, to even game shows such as Crazy Time, BetOlimp’s got you sorted. We spent some time playing Lightning Roulette, and genuinely – it’s better than the classic and the atmosphere is like a real casino. If you want to add a bit of a personal touch, on the other hand, there’s First Person Blackjack – a more immersive experience compared with your average table games.

Virtual Sports: Bet Any Time, Anywhere

The addition of virtual sports is cool for those moments when you want to wager, but there is no really interesting match taking place. We had a look at the virtual football, and as far as an alternative to the Premier League goes, it’s a decent way to pass the time. The races, like Charging Chariots, are rather exciting and fast-paced. Why not throw down a quick bet if you’ve got a few minutes to kill?

Customer Support: They Got Your Back

Need help? BetOlimp does have Live Chat open from 07:00 to 22:00 seven days a week. We tried it, and the response time was solid. If you prefer to, you can email them at support@betolimp.co.za. In addition, they have local contact numbers for their various branches across South Africa, which is nice.

  • Cape Town: 021 422 3133
  • Johannesburg: 011 712 4675
  • Pretoria: 012 335 2253

Final Thoughts

Speaking from experience, BetOlimp has many ups and downs and overall, an inoffensive experience is delivered at the end of things. Whether you are into sports betting, casino games, or virtual sports, you will find something to enjoy. The bonuses look too good to pass, but pay close attention to the fine print before getting excited. In all, great customer support combined with an intuitive platform makes the place quite approachable for placing bets with pleasure. Just remember: bet responsibly and have fun.
