Sunbet Review

Sunbet are a multi-channel sports betting network that has the clout of the Sun International brand behind their name. They offer fixed odds and in-play bets on countless events in all the popular sporting codes – locally and abroad. Along with a slick and functional online betting platform, there are mobile apps compatible with Android and iOS operating systems to provide sophisticated betting action on the go.

Who Are Sunbet?

  Sunbet are part of the vast Sun International hotel and casino group listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Operations include a chain of retail betting shops conveniently located at prime casino properties such as Grandwest Casino, Carnival City and Time Square. Sunbet are licensed by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board (WCGRB), an independent public entity that regulates gambling in the province and provides mediation and dispute resolution services, if required. That effectively means punters have a reputable agency to turn to in the event of a disagreement between themselves and Sunbet not being resolved quickly and amicably. It also means betting operations are fair, transparent and above board.

Sunbet Welcome Offer

Sunbet offers a host of promotions, chief of which is their welcome offer. It’s an optional incentive triggered by new customer cash deposits, and subject to wagering requirements as outlined in the Sunbet terms and conditions of use. In the current iteration, newly signed up members at Sunbet are eligible for a 100% match deposit bonus, capped at R1,000. Cash outs are only permitted once the wagering requirements of 3 x the value of the initial deposit plus bonus are fulfilled. The Sunbet welcome bonus is redeemable onsite and viable for three months following the claims process. Bets that count towards the bonus playthrough are limited to decimal odds of 1.5 or fractional odds of 5/10 and greater. Thereafter, Sunbet customers are in line for targeted sports betting promotions corresponding to specific sporting codes, such as soccer, rugby, cricket, golf, tennis and horse racing.
