Hollywoodbets
Hollywoodbets publishes multiple provincial bookmaker licence lines on its official site. Checked 2026-05-02, the footer listed Western Cape 10000107-029, Gauteng BRA-024, Mpumalanga 9-2-1-00051, Limpopo Book 007-LGB, and KwaZulu-Natal BOM0092 / ETHEK 43, with product scope split across provincial authorities.

Betway
Betway South Africa publishes two operating entities in its official footer. Checked 2026-05-02, Eastern Dawn Sports (Pty) Ltd was listed with Mpumalanga Economic Regulator Bookmaker License No. 9-2-1-09658, and Raging River Trading (Pty) Ltd was listed with Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board Bookmaker License No. 10181496-012, first issued 1 December 2016.
- Current official licence evidence captured
- Official SuperPartners affiliate programme located
Sunbet
Sunbet should stay in the comparison set, but not as a fully verified launch pick. On 2026-05-02, the live Sunbet site geo-blocked direct review; an official Western Cape bookmaker licence PDF for Sunbet (Pty) Ltd was located but it expired on 31 March 2025, and WCGRB public bookmaker lists also show Sunbet (Pty) Ltd. Current licence proof must be captured before any ranked endorsement.
- Partial official licence evidence captured; current proof pending
- Official Sunbet Partners programme located
10bet
10bet South Africa links directly to a Mpumalanga Economic Regulator bookmaker licence certificate. Checked 2026-05-02, the certificate was issued to Edcobrite (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2022/247292/07, under the 10BET name with approved URL www.10Bet.co.za, issue date 2025-10-01, annual renewal date 30 September, and validation code 9673159509.
- Current official licence evidence captured
- Official affiliate terms located
Easybet
Easybet should be covered after the larger operators because it is likely to attract payment and mobile-registration search intent.
- Priority verification target
- Affiliate channel to confirm directly
BetXChange
BetXChange is useful for breadth once the first four commercial pages are live and license evidence has been captured.
- Priority verification target
- Affiliate channel to confirm directly
World Sports Betting
World Sports Betting belongs in the launch database as a recognisable SA-facing bookmaker, but it should not outrank operators with clearer affiliate evidence until commercial terms are confirmed.
- Priority verification target
- Affiliate channel to confirm directly
Supabets
Supabets is a sensible database entry for SA betting coverage, but commercial CTA use should wait for direct affiliate and license evidence.
