Measured, not claimed
Which one actually pays more
Across the prices we have recorded from both, ZAR Bets was best or tied on 21.3% of the outcomes it priced, against 4.3% for 10bet. That is measured over 3 506 364 and 5 235 919 comparable prices respectively, not sampled and not supplied by either bookmaker.
Being best is not the whole picture, because a book that is rarely best can still be close. When it was not top, ZAR Bets paid on average 6.1% below the best price on the board and 10bet 5.4%. Read the two numbers together rather than either alone: how often a book is best decides how often it saves you anything, and the shortfall decides what it costs you the rest of the time.
Both figures come from the same board, read on the same cycles, so they are directly comparable. They describe the outcomes we could compare, which is every market where enough bookmakers priced the same thing at the same time, and they say nothing about the bet you are about to place: check the live board for that.

Asked and answered
10bet and ZAR Bets, the common questions
The questions people actually type about this pair, answered from the licence registers and from prices we read ourselves. Nothing here ranks one licensed bookmaker above the other; the facts are the answer.
Are 10bet and ZAR Bets the same company?
No. 10bet is licensed to Edcobrite (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2022/247292/07, and ZAR Bets is licensed to Apollo Gaming (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2024/307627/07. They are separate companies holding separate provincial bookmaker licences, which is why an account with one gives you nothing at the other.
What is the difference between 10bet and ZAR Bets?
On the prices we have read from both, ZAR Bets held the best or joint-best price on 21% of the outcomes where the two were priced side by side, against 4% for 10bet. Neither is best on everything: the gap moves by market and by day, so the difference that matters is the price on the specific bet you want.
Are both 10bet and ZAR Bets licensed in South Africa?
Both do hold provincial bookmaker licences, which is the only form of legal sports betting licence in South Africa: there is no national or online-only permit. 10bet has 2 licence records on file with us and ZAR Bets has 2, each with the number, the issuing board and the date we read it, set out on our licence register so you can check them against the board rather than against us.

Before you deposit
Use this as a shortlist, not a decision. Confirm the current licence wording, the offer terms, identity checks and withdrawal rules on the bookmaker's own site before you fund an account. Gambling can be addictive. Only bet what you can afford to lose.
