Mobibets Review
Mobibets was launched in 2016, so it’s still a new name to many. Although the platform design is geared towards mobile punters, desktop players can still access it as well.

In addition to horse racing and sports betting from South Africa and overseas, Mobibets also provides Lucky Numbers games for players that enjoy a little lotto action.
It is licenced and regulated by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, so you’re guaranteed that betting here is both safe and fair.

Mobibets Odds & Markets
When Mobibets first came to market, it only offered the most mainstream sports. However, over the past couple of years it has constantly added new markets for its customers. Currently, it has 24 different sports listed on its platform, which is a respectable tally in our opinion. Here’s a rundown of what you’ll find here:
Horse Racing | Alpine Skiing | American Football | Australian Rules | Badminton |
Basketball | Baseball | Cricket | Cross Country | Cycling |
Darts | Floorball | Golf | Handball | Ice Hockey |
MMA | Motor Sports | Rugby | Ski Jumping | Snooker |
Soccer | Table Tennis | Tennis | Volleyball |
Mobibets Football Betting Tips
Mobibets offers a vast choice of soccer betting options in the palm of your hand. There are more than 120 domestic league and cup competitions, in addition to the Champions League, Europa League and international matches.
You’ve got an acceptable range of betting markets across most matches. For the big games, our Mobibets review team noted an average of 60 markets consisting of more than 140 betting options. These included all of the most popular among South African bettors like BTTS, 3-way odds, HT/FT, double chance, O/U goals and handicaps. Even for the smaller games, such as matches from the Liga Prof Boliviano, there are 30 - 35 markets listed which isn’t too bad.
Mobibets Horse Racing Betting Tips & more
There’s a strong lineup of local and international horse racing at Mobibets, which includes coverage from Australia, the UK, Ireland, France and Hong Kong. The simplified mobile layout delivers a no-thrills, straight to the point betting experience. All you need to do is click the country you want to view, select the meeting and choose the race number.
The betting options include starting price, open win, open place and open exotics such as exacta, swinger, double, trifecta, quartet, jackpot, pick 3, place accumulator and pick 6. For selected cards, you also have bipot, jackpot quickmix, bookies lunchpot and bookies UK pot among other betting options.
A weakness of Mobibets is the lack of stats and form guides. There is nothing to aid a punter’s bet selections on the site. If the operator could improve in this area, it would have a top quality product, and one which is comparable with the big guns in the world of online horse race betting.

Mobibets other sports
Having expanded its platform, Mobibets has quite a bit more than just horse racing and soccer to entertain customers. Cricket betting comes from the Big Bash as well as international tests and ODI matches. Rugby union is stacked with several leagues including the Guinness Pro 14, French Top 14, National Rugby Championships, the NPC playoffs and a host of outrights for several other high profile events.
US sports fanatics can bet on NBA, MLB, NFL and NHL matches. Tennis bettors have ATP, WTA, ITF (Men & Women), Davis Cup and Challenger tournaments available to them. However, Mobibets doesn’t perform that well in terms on betting markets for several sports. For instance, most tennis matches only had 2 way odds and correct 3 set score markets. American football games had 2 way odds, HT/FT and a couple of exotics. Overall, although the range of sports and events is better than several other operators in the South African market, the lack of market depth weakens the product down. Yet, we must cut Mobibets some slack. This is still a new face and it is clearly growing, so we’d hope for more betting options to be added in the months and years to come.
As for its prices, they are acceptable without being top of the pile. Our random sample found www.wsb.co.za to be slightly stronger in most markets when we checked.

Mobibets Website & Login
This operator is by no means the biggest in the business, but it still provides enough to please the most ardent of mobile bettors, including:
Mobibets Lucky Numbers
Lucky Numbers can be found under the Lotto & Powerball tab. For those unfamiliar with these games, they are lottery-based number games in which the betting operator offers fixed odds payouts based on official lottery draw results from around the world. In total there are 28 countries listed ranging from South Africa and Zimbabwe to the UK and USA. You can bet on a single number, 2 numbers, 3 numbers and so on. The payouts will be shown at the bottom of your ticket along with the wager amount.

Website/Usability
This Mobibets SA review covers both mobile and desktop usability. The platform software is powered by Turfsport. This is a local company which several operators use, so it’s a respectable product. MobiBets is first and foremost designed for mobile users.
Therefore, the desktop view is simple and basic. While, it doesn’t set the pulse racing to look at, it does the job required. The homepage provides a main menu with the most essential links to thing such as lotto & powerball, horse racing and browsing the various other sports. There’s also a side menu which offers many of the same tabs - this comes in useful when you go deeper into the site.
Finding what you want to bet on couldn’t be easier, and most markets are only 3 or 4 clicks away. The lightweight page design with no graphics makes the platform fast and responsive which is something we find very appealing. Placing your bets is merely a matter of clicking on the selection(s) you want. The bet ticket is compressed at the bottom of the screen, just click to open it when you’ve finished making your choices, then add your stake and confirm the bet.
Mobibets Mobile App
There is not a native Mobibets mobile app available, so all customers need to do is visit www.mobibets.co.za via their regular web browser to access the site. Mobibets mobile is exactly the same layout as described above - it’s just slightly more compressed to match the screen size of your device.
