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.

Data licensing

South African odds, priced side by side, every few minutes.

We compare the licensed South African bookmakers against each other continuously and publish the result free for readers. If that data is useful to your business, it can be licensed privately.

Measured, not claimed

What the record actually holds

These are the site's own published figures, written by the board rather than by marketing, covering 4 August 2026 to 20 August 2026. The same numbers appear on our public pages, because a data buyer is precisely the reader who checks.

Prices compared

31 030 361

Individual prices read from the bookmakers' own published odds and compared against each other, across 867 passes of the full board in 17 days.

Bookmakers

19 licensed operators

South African licensed bookmakers priced against each other on the same outcome at the same moment. Brands that publish one shared price are counted once, not once each.

Breadth

8 sports

Football, tennis, table tennis, cricket, basketball, ice hockey, rugby union and darts, across roughly 300 competitions at any one time.

Why it is worth asking about

This particular market is not on the shelf

When we surveyed the commercial odds APIs in July 2026, South Africa was barely represented: the largest general provider carried no South African region at all, and another listed a single SA-facing brand. Hollywoodbets, the biggest bookmaker in the country, appeared in none of them, and neither did Supabets, Sunbet, World Sports Betting, Easybet or Gbets. Providers add coverage over time and you should check for yourself rather than take a dated survey from us, but that was the position when we looked, and it is the reason this data exists at all: we built it because we could not buy it.

Straight answers

What we will and will not do

Licensing is by private arrangement

There is no public price list, no self-serve key and no published endpoint, and that is deliberate rather than coy. Scope, refresh rate, history and terms differ for every use, and commercial redistribution of odds carries obligations that deserve an agreement rather than a checkout page.

We do not describe how the prices are obtained

Coverage, freshness and structure are all discussable. Method is not, on this page or in an agreement. What we can say is that every price is read from the bookmaker's own published odds and carries the time it was read.

The free board stays free

Licensing does not put the public comparison behind a wall. Readers keep the same board, the same prices and the same disclosure they have today. Nothing about a commercial arrangement changes what this site publishes or the order it ranks in.

Common questions

Before you write

Do you sell South African bookmaker odds data?

We license it privately, by arrangement, rather than selling access from a public price list. Enquiries go to the commercial inbox and are answered individually, because scope, refresh rate and terms differ for every use.

Which South African bookmakers are covered?

The current published record compares 19 licensed South African bookmakers side by side. Which operators appear in a given licence depends on scope, and the live coverage is visible on the odds board itself before you ask us anything.

Which markets and sports are included?

Match result, over/under totals and both teams to score, across football, tennis, table tennis, cricket, basketball, ice hockey, rugby union and darts. Coverage per sport follows what the licensed operators themselves price.

Can I see the data before enquiring?

Yes, and you should. The live board on this site is the same comparison, published free for readers. What a licence adds is structured access and history rather than a different set of numbers.
