At the time of writing, Supabets is offering a 100% welcome offer bonus up to R 10,000, on your first deposit. Certain terms and conditions apply for the same. To avail Supabets’ welcome offer bonus, you must complete the FICA Process to activate your account (Email a copy of your ID Book, and Proof of Residence to help@supabets.co.za), and deposit funds into your account.

You must then place a qualifying bet by wagering your first deposit on odds of 11/10 (2.1) or more. Once you receive the welcome offer bonus amount, it must be wagered five times at odds of 11/10 (2.1) or greater, before you can transfer funds from your bonus wallet to your main balance.

It must be noted that you cannot withdraw your initially placed stake, if your qualifying bet results in a win. You can withdraw the profit obtained on your qualifying bet though.

At the time of writing, Supabets is offering several enticing promotional offers. If you place Multi Bets on 2 or more selections, you will receive an extra bonus of up to 125%! The offer is valid on bets with odds of 7/14 (1.35) or more. If one or more selections of your Multi Bet are declared void, those selections will not be counted towards your extra bonus.

Here is how the extra bonus scheme works –

Supabets is also offering a promotional offer with respect to money back. You will receive 10% money back on all losing bets, tabulated on a weekly basis. You will receive your money back bonus every Tuesday. That being said, only Single Bets qualify for Supabets’ money back promotional offer. There are several other wonderful promotional offers on offer, at Supabets.

VIP Program

At the time of writing, Supabets does not offer a VIP Program, or a Loyalty Bonus System. While they are offering a promotional offer which resembles the perks of a Loyalty Bonus System (As has been mentioned in the previous section of this review), the offer is not a Loyalty Bonus System.

Given the importance of such programs in attracting, appeasing, and retaining loyal customers, we hope that Supabets offers their customers a VIP Program and/or a Loyalty Bonus System in the near future.

At the time of writing, Supabets offers odds on more than 15 sports. You can choose to punt on several sports markets, including popular markets like Football, Basketball, and Tennis, among others, and unique markets like Mixed Martial Arts, Snooker, and Darts, among others.

See the list of most popular betting terms and markets here. 

At Supabets, the minimum stake that you can place, is R 5, while the maximum stake that you can place on a bet depends on the sport that you are placing a bet on, the number of selections that you have made, and the odds in favour of the placed bet. The maximum pay out for a Single Bet is R 50,000, while you can win up to R 10,000,000 on a placed Accumulator Bet (Football).

The maximum pay out for a Single Bet in all other sports is R 10,000, while you can win up to R 200,000 on a placed Accumulator Bet.

Check our extensive guide to Accumulator Betting and Promotions here. 

Before placing a bet on Supabets, or any betting site for that matter, you must perform your due diligence, and scout the odds on offer at various betting sites, before placing a bet on a betting variant that you desire. Some betting site may be offering better odds on a betting variant that you want to place a bet on, and you will reap higher profits off a placed bet (If you win), if you place a bet on that particular betting site.

Bookmakers earn off bookmaker’s margin, and you must know how to calculate bookmaker’s margin for a betting variant. Bookmaker’s margin refers to the margin which exists about the mark of 100% (Ideal market). You must keep in mind the fact that the higher is bookmaker’s margin for a betting variant, the less likely you are to win a bet.

Margins nearer to the ideal market mark are better, while margins which exceed the 110% mark are not worth punting on. You can determine bookmaker’s margin for a bet, by calculating the Odds Overround for a betting variant. While all these terms may seem complex, you will get a hang of them over time.

To determine the Odds Overround for a bet, divide each individual outcome of a betting variant by 100 (After converting them to the decimal form). Add all the resulting numbers together. The obtained number can be used to determine bookmaker’s margin, for that particular betting variant.

Esport

In today’s day and age of technological advancements, Esports have conjured quite the storm among young punters and gamers. Several fascinating Esports tournaments take place on a local, and global scale. At the time of writing, Supabets does not offer odds on Esports, which is rather disappointing. We hope that they do so, sooner rather than later.

Other4 Specials

At time of writing, Supabets does not offer odds on Specials, which is a major let-down, given the popularity of betting variants of this nature. We hope that Supabets offers odds on betting variants in categories like Politics, and Entertainment, among others, in the near future.

Cash Out and Bet Builder

At the time of writing, while Supabets offers Cash Out, it does not offer Bet Builder. Cash Out allows you to retrieve partial winnings on a placed bet, if you feel that you may go on to lose a placed bet. This gives you security of the funds that you have placed on a bet, as you could go on to win more, or less than your initially placed stake.

The amount of money you receive of course, depends on the odds in favour of the bet that you have placed, at the time of Cashing Out, and the exact instance of Cashing Out. We hope that the betting site offers its customers an option to build a bet in the near future, as Bet Builder in essence allows you to create a bet to your liking, by combining several unique selections together.
