What they give back once you are a customer.

The short answer

Of the thirteen bookmakers this site links to, 7 published a promotions page we could read and 5 advertise a recurring promotion on it. We have quoted 13 of them verbatim below. The remaining 6 render their promotions in JavaScript or block automated access, so we cannot tell you what they offer, and we will not guess.

Read the headlines below the way you should read a welcome bonus: as an advertisement, not a rate. "Up to 10% of the house edge" and "up to R15,000 weekly" are ceilings, and where we have not been able to read the terms that set the actual rate, the cap and the qualifying period, this page says so against that operator rather than filling the gap.

Playabets

Their general terms add a condition the promotions page does not: "Cashback promotions may be subject to minimum wagering requirements, product restrictions, maximum cashback limits and verification requirements. Playabets reserves the right to withhold cashback where a User engages in arbitrage betting, matched betting, opposing-market betting, syndicate betting or promotional abuse." That is worth knowing before you count on a cashback: it can be withheld, and the rate is not fixed by the headline.

The individual promotion pages render in JavaScript and could not be read automatically, so the rate, the cap and the qualifying period behind each headline are still unread. Read from their promotions page on 10 August 2026. The terms behind these headlines have not been read, so no rate or cap is stated here as fact.

10bet

The rugby free bet is the only one with a stated cap and period. The 600% multi-bet boost is advertised as a headline with no qualifying terms on the promotions page. Read from their promotions page on 10 August 2026. The terms behind these headlines have not been read, so no rate or cap is stated here as fact.

ZAR Bets

A qualifying deposit and turnover of R250 is stated. How the jackpot is awarded is not. Read from their promotions page on 10 August 2026. The terms behind these headlines have not been read, so no rate or cap is stated here as fact.

Supabets

Terms read in full from the More Info modals on the new site on 11 August 2026. The older promotions index published names only. Read from their promotions page on 10 August 2026.

ApexBets

apexbets.co.za blocks plain fetches; both promo pages were rendered and read verbatim on 11 August 2026. Read from their promotions page on 10 August 2026.

What we could not read

These bookmakers may well run rakeback or cashback. We cannot see it, and an absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, so they get a row saying exactly that instead of a blank that reads like a judgement.

• Hollywoodbets — promotions page rendered 484 characters, no promotion content.
• Betway — promotions page rendered 248 characters, no promotion content.
• World Sports Betting — promotions page rendered 792 characters, no promotion content.
• TopBet — promotions page rendered 935 characters, no promotion content.
• BetBus — promotions index returns no content.
• FirstBet — promotions page rendered 315 characters, no promotion content.

Why this matters more than the welcome offer

A welcome offer is claimed once. A rakeback, a weekly cashback or a multi-bet boost applies to every bet a customer places for as long as they keep the account, so over a year it is worth far more than the sign-up bonus that gets all the attention. A 200% sign-up match on a R1,000 deposit is worth R2,000 once. A rakeback worth even 2% of turnover, on a punter staking R2,000 a month, is worth more than that inside a year and keeps paying after the welcome bonus is a memory.

Each promoted operator's promotions page was fetched and read. Headlines are verbatim. Where an operator renders its promotions in JavaScript or blocks automated access, that is reported rather than treated as an absence of promotions. We will publish the rate, cap and qualifying period behind each headline as we read them, and not before. If you hold an account with any of these bookmakers and can see the terms we cannot, tell us on the corrections page and we will check it and publish it.
