Frequently asked questions
We use a seven-category framework: licensing and safety (25%), banking and payouts (20%), bonus quality (15%), sport variety (15%), app and mobile (10%), live betting (10%), and customer support (5%). Every site is tested by at least two team members. Full methodology: how we review.
Yes. We only review bookmakers that hold a current licence from a South African provincial gambling board. We verify licence status before publishing and recheck on each update cycle.
Hub pages are reviewed monthly. Individual operator reviews are updated as soon as we detect changes to bonuses, payment terms, licensing details or withdrawal performance.
Our ratings are independent. Operators cannot buy a higher score. Paid featured placement is clearly disclosed with a 'Sponsored' label and does not influence the numerical rating. See our editorial policy.
