Do you know those betting sites that try to be a jack-of-all-trades but end up being masters of none? Definitely not the case with World Sports Betting. It’s like that friend who is good at everything, but instead of making you feel bad, it makes your life easier. Be it sports, casino games, or throwing your luck at the lotto, WSB has got something up its sleeve.
We have been around the block with quite a few sportsbooks, and we firmly believe the bookie stands out from the crowd. But before we get too ahead of ourselves, let’s start with how to take the first step.
Sign-up: (FICA’s the Fork)
Setting up an account on WSB is like cutting through butter. Easy peasy – just fill in your details, verify with an OTP, and off you go. The thing to bear in mind though is that in order to withdraw, you need approval via FICA. That’s the local regulatory way of making sure that everything is kosher, and while it might feel a bit of a pain, it’s one of those necessary evils. So get your documents ready – scanned ID and proof of residence – and as soon as you pass the checkpoint, you’re free to start wagering.
Sportsbook & Betting Markets
Sports lovers, rejoice. WSB doesn’t mess around when it comes to diversity. Whether you’re feeling football, or basketball, or want to place some niche bets on sports like alpine skiing – yes, that’s a thing, the venue has got your back. And if you are into horse racing, well, you must be thrilled with the international races offered by WSB, from the bottom of South Africa up to the UK. They also throw in some decent in-play betting options so that you can set your bets in real time.
One of the high points for us was the layout. Sure, it’s packed, but it’s organized like your mom’s kitchen on Christmas. Everything is in its place, and even if you’re a first-timer, navigating the odds and markets is really easy.
Casino Games: A Gaming Roller Coaster
Now, we didn’t expect WSB’s casino section to hold up as well as it does against the big names, but is that a pleasant surprise? With over 1000 slot games on tap, you’ll never get bored. The games are powered by top developers like Pragmatic Play and Red Tiger, so you’re not dealing with some rinky-dink slots here. Big titles like Gates of Olympus and Cash Volt are sure to keep your fingers tapping.
If, however, you’re like us, the charm of live games is where the magic lies. WSB’s live casino section is where it all happens: Blackjack tables, Roulette, Baccarat, and poker tables manned by real flesh-and-blood croupiers hosted by Evolution Gaming. Everything from Lightning Roulette to Salon Privé Blackjack can be played. You can have literally that Vegas high sitting in your cozy couch. You have to admit that’s pretty cool.
The Bonuses: Generous, but Don’t Forget the Fine Print
If there is one thing we can say about WSB, it is that they know how to reel you in with bonuses. Let’s break down a couple of the highlights:
- Deposit Match Bonus 100%
This one is for the newbies. Deposit for the first time, and WSB will match it up to R20,000. Of course, it comes with wagering requirements. You will be required to roll over the bonus five times on sports/racing or thirty times in the live casino. It is not straightforward but doable, provided you are tactical.
- R50 Welcome Bonus
They just give you R50 to get things going upon registration. Of course, there is a kicker – you can’t withdraw until such time as you have placed a minimum deposit. Fair enough?
- Birthday Bonus
A nice touch, this. WSB will match your first deposit of the day on your birthday (up to R2 000). Which pretty much means the birthday cake is on the house.
These are good offers, but they do come with strings attached, so it’s worth reading the terms and conditions before getting carried away. We wouldn’t want you biting off more than you can chew.
Payment Methods: Quick and Plenty of Choices
When it comes to deposits, WSB has something for everyone. Leaving EFT transfers and Ozow aside, you’ll also find vouchers like Flash and OTT. A deposit as low as R10 is possible with most of the methods that allow it, but some will require you to top up at least R50.
Withdrawals are painless, too: The minimum amount is R50, and in most cases, it will take less than a day to get processed (usually hours). If you are an international customer, however, you can expect to wait a bit – up to eight days because of those pesky Reserve Bank policies. That said, we found the process smooth. Just don’t forget to get FICA-approved before you attempt to cash out!
Customer Support: They’ve Got Your Back 24/7
Now, support. Honestly, with WSB, they are really pulling out all the stops. You get customer support 24/7, and they are available through live chat, via e-mail, or even by phone. From questions over a bet to issues with your account, they’re on it in no time.
