Beta Prices are read about every four minutes and published with the time we saw them. Real prices, read about every four minutes. Why?

Tell us what is wrong

The prices here are real and they are ours. We read the bookmakers on our board roughly every four minutes and publish what we actually saw, with the time we saw it. Nothing on this site is estimated, modelled or bought in. We hold no data agreement with any bookmaker, so a price can be a few minutes old and the bookmaker's own price is the one that counts. How live is this?

So why call it a demo? Because we are a data company, and data gets better with time. Every day we run, the price record gets longer, the licence register gets more complete and the ranking rests on more evidence. Some pages are still being written and a few bookmakers are not fully covered yet.

We would rather be useful now than perfect later. What is here already answers the question most punters never get answered: who is actually paying most, right now, and who is actually licensed to take your bet. Waiting another six months to publish that would help nobody.

Where we are unsure, we say so. Where we have not checked something, we do not claim it. If you find something wrong, tell us and we will fix it and say we did.

Sportsbook head to head

Easybet vs World Sports Betting

Both hold current licence evidence from 2 provincial regulators, so neither is better documented than the other and the choice comes down to what they do. 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 World Sports Betting. On our own price record, World Sports Betting held the best or joint-best price 60% of the time against 19% for Easybet, measured across 4 309 349 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, World Sports Betting was best or tied on 59.7% of the outcomes it priced, against 19.3% for Easybet. That is measured over 4 309 349 and 4 636 972 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, World Sports Betting paid on average 3.2% below the best price on the board and Easybet 4.8%. 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 World Sports Betting, 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 World Sports Betting 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 World Sports Betting is licensed to SWB Solutions (Pty) Ltd / World Sports Betting provincial entities. 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 World Sports Betting?

On the prices we have read from both, World Sports Betting held the best or joint-best price on 60% of the outcomes where the two were priced side by side, against 19% for Easybet. 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 World Sports Betting 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 World Sports Betting 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.
