26 bookmakers on this register hold a licence from WCGRB:

• Betway : WCGRB Bookmaker License No. 10181496-012
• ZAR Bets : WCGRB Bookmaker Licence No. 10010581-030 (National Gambling Board register, read 1 September 2026); WCGRB Bookmaker Licence No. 10010581-031 (operator footer, first issued 28 March 2024, read 1 September 2026)
• ApexBets : WCGRB Bookmaker Licence 10194002-002 (issued 26 November 2025)
• TopBet : WCGRB Bookmaker Licence 10190445-004, held by Hatsy (Pty) Ltd, registration 2021/566646/07. Stated verbatim in the operator footer, captured 5 August 2026. The National Gambling Board verified-operators register recorded 10190445-005 for this operator on 17 June 2026. The two sources differ in the final segment and BOTH are published here rather than one being chosen, because we cannot tell from outside which is current and guessing would be worse than showing the disagreement.
• Hollywoodbets : Western Cape: 10000107-029, stated in the Hollywoodbets footer and captured 2 May 2026. The National Gambling Board verified-operators register records 10110547-021 for this operator instead. BOTH are published here rather than one being chosen, because we cannot tell from outside which is current and guessing would be worse than showing the disagreement. The same rule is applied to TopBet.; Western Cape, per the national register: 10110547-021
• Sunbet : WCGRB Bookmaker Licence 10138713-018, current per the National Gambling Board verified-operators register (17 June 2026). The certificate previously on file was 10138713-017, which ran to 31 March 2025, so the licence has been renewed. The operator footer, captured 5 August 2026, does not display this Western Cape number at all: it names the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator with licence 9-2-1-09789, and a North West licence. Both the register and the footer are shown because they describe different licences held by the same operator, not a disagreement about one.
