Gbets Casino Review

Gbets has a library of around 1500 games. The selection isn't the biggest, but it doesn't have to be, with so many popular games to back it up. To mention a few: Gates of Olympus, a big collection of Book of slots, legendary Starburst, Divine Fortune Megaways for tons of ways to win, the Mzansi favourite Aviator (which has its own convenient button) and BetGames live casino directly accessible from its own lobby. 

I really appreciate these neatly organised, compact game libraries. They're easy to navigate, and it's quick to find exactly what you're looking for. There's no need to make it bigger than necessary, as most of the time, we stick to our 20 favourite classics, maybe try a newer version, and occasionally explore some less popular games when we feel like it.

The Lucky Numbers category offers lotteries from all over the world. It's just like picking your numbers at a local Gbets store, but with the convenience of doing it straight from your sofa at home.

The only thing I would have liked to see more of was the first-person table games. That selection is very limited at the moment, with only around 10 games available.

For live casino, you have a few options: enter the Live Lobby and find the direct lobbies for CreedRoomz, Evolution and Ezugi, or go to BetGames TV to get a full selection of what they offer. 

Although there are not tons of options, I like how the lobbies are organised. It's easy when you open the lobby for one provider, as you can immediately see what is available. The icons also show you how many players are on the table at the moment, and what the betting limits are. 

I think small live casinos are as good as big ones in a way, as long as there are enough options for each type of player. Of course, it's nice to have 500 options, but are you going to browse the 100 blackjack tables, or just join the one that you first see as the best fit for you? I know I will.

Gbets has an app available for both Android and iOS devices. Despite the poor rating, I decided to give it a go and downloaded it on my iPhone 14. Also, based on my previous experience with the Goldrush app, I didn't have my hopes too high for this, since it comes from the same Goldrush Group. 

I wasn't entirely wrong; it turned out the app wasn't exactly the best option. I felt like there was too much flashing content, which slowed the app down and caused a lot of lag. Still better than the Goldrush app, which didn't work at all, but no, I would still not recommend this app. There are obviously too many functional problems on the interface. Also, the app is mainly designed for sports betting, not casino games.

The good thing is that you can access the casino from your web browser. This one worked well for me, and I didn't run into any major issues. I noticed some minor features missing from the desktop version, such as specific game categories and menus. Should you play on the go, just use this mobile version and forget about the app. 

Gbets offers a wide range of payment options, including credit and debit cards, Ozow EFT, prepaid vouchers, Capitec Pay, SnapScan, and more. Deposits and withdrawals are generally free, though your chosen payment provider may charge its own fees.

The minimum deposit of R1, applicable to all methods, is among the lowest in South Africa, making it accessible to all players. 

You must complete full FICA verification before making a withdrawal. The casino provides clear instructions on which documents to submit and how to send them.

See all the available methods and minimum limits in the table below. 

The average withdrawal time at Gbets is 2-24 hours.

Standard Bank Instant Money and FNB eWallet are the quickest withdrawal options, often processed within 1 hour, while EFT withdrawals usually take 24-48 hours. Make sure your account is fully FICA verified to prevent any delays.

Here are the estimated total withdrawal times for the different withdrawal methods:

• Standard EFT: 24-48 hours
• Bank e-wallets: 1-24 hours
• Celbux Instant Payment: 12-24 hours

Gbets is a well-established operator in South Africa, so you won't have to rely solely on online support. In addition to email and live chat, you can also reach them by phone.

They have an active presence on social media, with regularly updated channels like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This makes it easy to get in touch or stay updated on promotions and news.

In my experience, the live chat support was efficient and professional. They responded quickly, checked my account details, and provided personalised assistance rather than generic automated answers. Quick response times, tailored guidance, and knowledgeable staff make a noticeable difference, especially when handling account-specific questions.

The FICA verification process at Gbets is a standard requirement under South African gambling regulations. In line with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA), all licensed operators must verify a player's identity before allowing withdrawals. This means you can register, deposit, and start playing immediately, but you won't be able to cash out any winnings until your documents are approved.

At Gbets, the process is straightforward and similar to other South African online casinos. Players need to upload a valid ID, such as a South African ID card or passport, along with a recent proof of address (no older than three months). For larger deposits or withdrawals, additional documents, such as a bank statement or proof of income, may be requested.

Documents are uploaded through your account section, and as long as they are clear and meet the requirements, verification should be smooth. Gbets allows up to 48 hours to process your documents, though in many cases it happens much faster, often within a few hours.

Gbets is committed to responsible gambling in line with the National Responsible Gambling Programme and provides players with the following tools:

• Deposit limits
• Session time limits
• Self-exclusion 
• Reality checks
• Cooling-off periods

I strongly recommend setting personal limits to avoid overspending at online casinos. Gambling should be a fun and enjoyable activity, not something that negatively affects your daily life. If you ever feel that it's starting to interfere with your routine, hobbies, or personal interests, it's important to take a step back and seek help.

For support with gambling-related issues, you can contact the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation's toll-free helpline at 0800 006 008.
