How We Sort the Best from the Rest

When it comes to casino gaming in South Africa, we aim to provide a comprehensive guide to enable you to find the best casino for your needs. Our expert team takes a number of factors into consideration when we review sites, including the following:

Game Selection

We make a point of checking out the quantity & quality of all games offered at an online casino.

Security

Secure fund & information transfers are a must when we're looking for top South African casinos.

Payment Methods

A good selection of South Africa friendly options should always be available.

Deposit/Withdrawal Speeds

Fast deposit/withdrawals times are vital for online casino lovers.

Mobile-Friendly

A high quality mobile gaming option is a sign of a top quality site, offering a seamless experience regardless of the platform the casino is played on.

Bonuses & Promotions

We're always on the lookout for bonuses for new & existing players, including VIP schemes to reward loyalty.

The points in this list are crucial when it comes to choosing an online casino, as these should be the standard expectations from a modern and reliable gaming site. Game selection, security, and payment methods are listed first for a reason, as these are hugely important factors that go towards ensuring a safe and enjoyable online gaming experience.

Dodgy Sites: Proceed With Caution

While the vast majority of online casinos are perfectly secure and operate in a fair manner, there are always a few rogue sites which do not act in the best interests of players. Although you can be sure that any sites recommended on these pages have passed a rigorous inspection, if you're planning to join other online casinos you should always be wary of fraudulent operators. Below we have listed some of the factors which cause disreputable casinos to become blacklisted:

  • Operating without a recognized gaming license
  • Refusing to pay players money owed
  • Forging credentials or using expired certificates
  • Engaging in unethical marketing or business practices
  • Offering games that aren't random
  • Failing to honour bonuses and promotions
  • Lacking sufficient customer service
  • Neglecting player privacy and security

Scammy online casinos give the industry a bad name, and we don’t want to do anything to keep them in business. That’s why we will highlight any rogue casinos which you need to avoid, and only recommend the best of the bunch.
