Scorebet.co.za Review

As with most South African online sportsbooks, soccer is the dominant sport. At ScoreBet you have a choice of more than 130 leagues, cups and tournaments coming from 45 countries, as well as international matches, Champions League, AFC Cup and more.

For the top leagues, the market depth is on par with most other betting sites. A typical match will boast over 110 betting markets which includes all the favourites such as: match winner, team totals, handicaps, BTTS, correct score, HT/FT and O/U total goals to name a few. Certain leagues also offer a wide range of futures such as league winner, top goalscorer for a certain club and team to finish bottom. Away from the top tier games, and there’s still a healthy number of markets for most matches. However, during our ScoreBet review the amatuer divisions only had a few basic betting options available. Viewed as a complete package, this site gets the thumbs up if you’re a soccer bettor.

At ScoreBet you can bet on local and international horse races. There is fixed odds betting on most races, with a few SP only exceptions. In addition to the win and place markets, ScoreBet also offers totepool betting on selected race cards. These include jackpot, swinger, trifecta, exacta, place accumulator, quartet and pick 6 among others. 

Whilst the betting markets are acceptable, this section lacks depths. There are no form guides for the runners nor is there any track information such as the going and the weather. This, combined with no live streaming or radio commentary either, makes the whole category rather weak compared to the leading horse race betting sites.

Whilst horse racing and sports betting are the main features of ScoreBet, it’s worth mentioning the other betting games available, including:

South Africans adore lotto games and ScoreBet offers plenty to get excited about. These games use the numbers that are drawn from many of the world’s most popular lottery draws. You have different betting options, which are clearly displayed on the platform, that you can bet on. The payouts vary depending on how many numbers you choose and which lotto draw you bet on.

Betgames are also lotto-based games but these are operated by a local company and the draws are streamed live every 5 minutes. ScoreBet has three different Betgames: Lucky 5, Lucky 6 and Lucky 7. There’s a wide variety of betting options open to players and they present a good chance to claim some big winnings from relatively small stakes.

The ScoreBet mobile app is web-based, so it’s technically not an app in the sense that you don’t need to download and install it. When accessing this site from a tablet or mobile phone, the platform responds to the size of your device’s screen to deliver a nicely presented sports betting platform in the palm of your hand.

Other than the menus being collapsed to save space, ScoreBet mobile is exactly the same as its desktop counterpart. You can enjoy all of the same betting opportunities, claim the bonuses and relax knowing that the platform is safe and secure.

ScoreBet customer support is rather limited compared to many of its competitors’. These are the channels you can use to reach out if you have any questions:

Live chat: not available
