WSB Review

Established in 2002, World Sports Betting (WSB) has grown into one of South Africa's most popular online bookmakers.

With a user-friendly interface and a wide variety of betting options across sports, casino and lotto, including a first-class sportsbook and casino, WSB offers users a high-quality betting experience.

We take a closer look at the site's features, including the welcome bonus, no deposit bets, sportsbook, casino, registration process, payment methods and more. We also detail how the World Sports Betting sign up code NEWBONUS works.

World Sports Betting online is one of the country’s most complete bookmakers. It suits customers looking for big bonuses and promotions, and those wanting competitive odds across a range of markets.

An update to the platform wouldn’t go amiss, but the basic look as worked well for customers for many years. The addition of Apple and Android apps is a great move and the brand is one of the most trusted betting sites in South Africa.

It ticks plenty of boxes and after researching WSB we believe you’ll like it too. 

WSB offers an extensive range of sports with a clean and intuitive interface that is both easy-to-use and aesthetically appealing.

An in-depth sportsbook features all of the biggest competitions with hundreds of betting markets from various events throughout the year.

If soccer betting is your passion, then WSB commands a closer look. It offers thousands of fixtures from countries all over the world including domestic action in the South African Premiership and Nedbank Cup.

The most popular leagues headline the show such as the Champions League, EPL, Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga, but they are ably supported by the MLS, J-League and the SPL to name a few.

Market depth is good overall. Top flight games serve up around 90 separate markets including match winner, O/U goals, Asian and European handicaps, first team to score, BTTS, HT/FT, halves, corners and many more. 

As you drop down the divisions, the choice of betting options does lessen with many other matches boasting between 20 and 60 markets, which is still respectable and on par with other leading bookmakers.

When viewing individual pre-match fixtures, data from Sportradar loads on the page highlighting recent form, home/away goals per game, average number of goals in previous H2H meetings, probability on handicap bets and numerous other stats and pointers. 

Also, if you like to pool bet, WSB has Soccer 4 and Soccer 6 for you, and keep an eye out for WSB Boosters which offer enhanced odds on selected fixtures.

Horse racing punters are covered with all local races and plenty of action from overseas as well. When you open a race card, you’ll see some basic information like the jockey, trainer, age and weight. 

However, you can click to download the PDF form guide which is far more in-depth that you would expect from a horse racing specialist like Hollywoodbets.

The betting options include win and place on all races. There is South Africa tote betting available, with a variety of pools like swinger, jackpot, place accumulator, pick 3, pick 6, double, exacta, trifacta and quartet. Plus you have the Bookies SP Pot and BiPot, too. 

International races also enjoy several tote betting pools but the range is not as full as the local selection.

An area in which WSB stands out is that it offers live video streaming for a lot of its races. Not many other online bookmakers provide this so it’s certainly a feather in the cap. You need to be logged in and have a bet on the race to view the stream.

Soccer, rugby, cricket, American football, basketball, tennis and esports are just a few of the sports you can bet on in-play at WSB. 

You got a good selection of markets to choose from for most games, so finding a bet is easy. Remember to make use of the Sportradar live score centre to check out the stats first. 

The in-play betting platform has a cool match animation console built in which helps you follow the action. However, the main feature of WSB is its live streaming service. 

It streams hundreds of matches live each week through WSB TV, covering sports such as soccer, cricket, table tennis, handball, basketball, tennis and American football. This gives punters much better value for money as it is a complete sports entertainment platform all-in-one.

There’s nothing exceptional about the design of WSB’s website but it does the job that’s required of it. Even for total beginners, a quick scan through the homepage will clearly highlight where everything is. 

The main head menu (when viewing from a desktop) offers sports, in-play, racing, slots, Aviator and Lucky Numbers. You then have a series of quick links to featured events running down the left and below them a complete index of the various sports categories you can bet on.

Each sports page has a few filters so it is easy to track down the match or league you’re interested in and overall navigation is very simple.

WSB also offers the other popular lotto, Betgames. There are two games: Lucky 5 which is 5 from 36 and Lucky 7 which is 7 from 42. These draws are hosted by BetGames Africa and they run continuously all day. 

You can bet on the South Africa Powerball, UK 49s, Euromillions, Japan Loto 6 and many others with over 50 draws available daily.

Mobile punters can now download the World Sports Betting mobile app after it was launched for both iOs and Android devices. The full instructions for downloading the WSB app can be be found via the link.

If you want to sign up, mobile registration is super fast using the link above. You can claim the massive bonus on your first deposit and enjoy all of the other features and promos that WSB has to offer.

Another perk of betting on this site is that it offers round the clock support. You can reach out to WSB customer service via the following channels:
