How to register, deposit and withdraw at Supabets

Editorial standards

Registration at Supabets takes your South African ID or passport number, a cellphone number and a password, with FICA documents needed before you can withdraw. The brand is the trading name of Portapa (Pty) Ltd, which holds Gauteng bookmaker licences, and the National Gambling Board list also shows SupaBets licences in other provinces, such as FSGLA/BML/002 in the Free State.

Sign-up and FICA documents

  1. Press Register on supabets.co.za.
  2. Enter your cellphone number and confirm the OTP sent to it.
  3. Type your name, surname and SA ID or passport number.
  4. Choose a password and accept the terms after reading them.

The legal age is 18, and the same ID number is later matched against your FICA documents and your bank account.

FICA means a copy of your ID plus a proof of address no older than three months. South African gambling licensees are accountable institutions under the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, so the check is a legal step. Until both documents are approved, withdrawals stay on hold, which makes day one the right time to upload them.

Rand deposits and withdrawals

Visa, Mastercard and bank transfers in rand are accepted, and card payments need the approval your banking app asks for. A card deposit appears once your bank approves it, and a bank transfer once it clears, so a Friday-evening EFT will struggle to fund a Saturday-morning match.

Hold on to the proof of payment until the money shows; support asks for it when a transfer goes missing.

To withdraw, add a bank account in your own name, enter the amount and confirm. South Africa takes no tax from winnings at payout, since the provinces collect gambling tax from the bookmaker; a R800 win lands as R800.

Roulette bets and the 2025 court ruling

This bookmaker was the party in a case that changed what Gauteng punters can bet on. On 21 October 2025 the Supreme Court of Appeal ruled that bookmakers in Gauteng can offer fixed-odds bets on roulette outcomes only with a casino licence (Portapa (Pty) Ltd t/a Supabets v Casino Association of South Africa).

For anyone who used to bet on roulette numbers at a Gauteng bookmaker, that product is the one the ruling covers. Sports and horse racing bets sit outside it.
