World Sports Betting, known as WSB, has run online since 2002. It holds a bookmaker licence from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, plus a second from the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator, licence number 9-2-1-09865. Alongside the website and app, WSB takes bets by phone through a Tele-Bet line.
What Stands Out
- The Tele-Bet & Support Centre takes calls 24 hours a day, every day of the year, for placing bets, making a deposit or checking results.
- WSB also runs a horse racing tote and a soccer pools product alongside its fixed-odds sportsbook.
- Tennis is priced two-way: only home or away, with no draw.
Deposits and Withdrawals
A voucher deposit starts at R1, Ozow or SID instant EFT at R10, and card or ordinary EFT at R50. OTT Voucher and iPay are also accepted, alongside cash deposits over the counter.
Before your first withdrawal, WSB asks for FICA documents: a South African ID, passport or driver’s licence, plus proof of residence. Minimum withdrawal is R50 (R100 for instant methods). SA account holders get paid out within 2 working days; credit card refunds can take up to 5 working days, and international accounts up to 8.
Odds and Markets
WSB’s top sports are soccer, tennis, horse racing, rugby union and cricket, priced pre-match and in-play. On the competitions OddsBash tracks, we read its match result and total-goals prices on soccer, including goal lines up to 3.5, and match-winner prices on tennis, cricket and rugby.
The margin and coverage figures above come from odds WSB actually published; they refresh with every read.
Good to Know
- FICA approval is required before your first withdrawal, not before you bet. WSB’s FAQ offers facial biometric verification (a selfie) as an instant alternative to document upload.
- WSB also runs a casino, Aviator, Lucky Numbers, JetX and other virtual games. OddsBash measures the sportsbook only.
