Easybet vs Supabets
Easybet holds licence evidence from 2 provincial regulators against 1 for Supabets, which is the clearest difference between them on paper. On a R500 first deposit, Easybet's welcome offer is worth R750, payable only after wagering 4x your deposit at odds of 2.0 or higher on sport, or 15x on slots (R2 000 of your own money) against R500 at Supabets. On our own price record, Easybet held the best or joint-best price 19% of the time against 11% for Supabets, measured across 1 268 207 comparable prices or more on each. We have not opened an account at either and we do not test withdrawals, so nothing here is a recommendation. Both review pages carry the licence number, the issuing board and the date we last checked, which is what you would want if something went wrong.
Measured, not claimed
Which one actually pays more
Across the prices we have recorded from both, Easybet was best or tied on 19.3% of the outcomes it priced, against 11.2% for Supabets. That is measured over 4 636 972 and 1 268 207 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, Easybet paid on average 4.8% below the best price on the board and Supabets 3.0%. 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
Easybet and Supabets, 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 Easybet and Supabets the same company?
No. Easybet is licensed to Easybet Group (Pty) Ltd (2022/541017/07) and Easybet Group EC (Pty) Ltd (2024/745057/07), and Supabets is licensed to Portapa 2 (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2009/016148/07, trading as SUPABETS - MPUMALANGA. 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 Easybet and Supabets?
On the prices we have read from both, Easybet held the best or joint-best price on 19% of the outcomes where the two were priced side by side, against 11% for Supabets. 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 Easybet and Supabets 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. Easybet has 2 licence records on file with us and Supabets 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.
