FICA

The Financial Intelligence Centre Act, 38 of 2001 (FICA) was introduced into law to fight financial crime. This act is an important piece of legislation for the South African sports betting industry. Below is more information on FICA.

Many bookmakers offer FICA Betting promotions, which you can read about here.

FICA regulated websites include all bookmakers listed on bets.co.za which are legal and licensed in South Africa.

FICA free bets are offered by many sporting websites across South Africa. Offers can vary from one bookmaker to the next and it is best to read up on the different free bets available. We aim to bring you all the latest offers from across the South African sports betting industry.

Betting websites are likely to request that you upload certain documents in order to comply with FICA regulations. An example is Hollywoodbets, which has a FICA self-service page enabling bettors to upload documents. This asks you to submit your ID number/Account number, cell number, a copy of your ID/passport/driver's license, and a copy of your address. Being able to register online as opposed to being physically present at the bookmaker's offices saves you time and simplifies your sports betting experience.
