Cricket odds South Africa
For cricket odds in South Africa, the odds sample on BETAURO shows Betway posting the best price on 90.7% of the 238 cricket-relevant markets we priced, with an average margin of about 6.5%. 10bet was the tightest on margin at roughly 4.8% across a smaller 27-market sample, while Sportingbet's best-price share sat at 28.2% over 39 markets. All of the operators below hold provincial South African betting licences, so this page focuses on which one suits your betting on Tests, ODIs, T20s and the Proteas — by price, payments and payout speed.

Which bookmaker has the best cricket odds right now?
Price share and margin tell different parts of the story, so read them together.
- Betway: best-price share 90.7%, average margin 6.49%, sampled across 238 markets — the widest cricket sample here and the most consistent for landing the top price.
- 10bet: average margin 4.78% over 27 markets and an 85.2% best-price share — the leanest margin in this data, though on a much smaller sample.
- Sportingbet: 28.2% best-price share and a 8.63% average margin across 39 markets — noticeably wider than Betway or 10bet on this data.
For the other operators (Hollywoodbets, Supabets, Sunbet, World Sports Betting, BetXchange, LulaBet, Easybets) we do not have a cricket odds sample, so we won't claim a price edge for them. Judge those on payments, payout speed and app instead.
Editorial read: if your priority is consistently landing the best cricket price, Betway's sample is the strongest evidence here. If you want the tightest margin and you're comfortable with a smaller pricing sample, 10bet is worth a look. Always compare the actual price on the specific match before you stake — margins vary market by market.

Cash Out and in-play for cricket
Cricket swings hard — a single collapse or a run-a-ball partnership can flip a match — so Cash Out and live pricing matter more than in many sports.
Cash Out is listed for Betway, Sportingbet and 10bet. That lets you settle a cricket bet early, useful on a long Test or a tight T20 chase. Hollywoodbets, Supabets, Sunbet, World Sports Betting, BetXchange, LulaBet and Easybets do not list Cash Out in our data, so if early settlement is a deal-breaker, start with the three that offer it.
Betway also lists a Bet Builder, which is handy for combining cricket selections such as a team total plus a named top bowler into one slip. None of the other operators here list a Bet Builder in our data, so treat Betway as the go-to if that's your preferred way to bet cricket.
Payments and withdrawals for South African bettors
Every operator here supports Instant EFT, which remains the default for most South African bettors. Local rails such as Ozow, Capitec Pay and 1Voucher appear on several sites, so match the bookie to how you actually move money.
- Capitec Pay: Betway, Hollywoodbets, Sunbet and LulaBet.
- Ozow: Betway, Hollywoodbets, Sportingbet, Sunbet, World Sports Betting, LulaBet, Easybets and 10bet.
- 1Voucher (cash top-up, no bank needed): Betway, Hollywoodbets, Supabets, BetXchange and Easybets.
Withdrawal windows (as supplied): Sportingbet, Sunbet, World Sports Betting, BetXchange, LulaBet, Easybets and 10bet quote 0–24h; Betway quotes 24–48h; Hollywoodbets and Supabets quote 24–72h. If fast payouts are your priority, the 0–24h group is the shorter quoted window. Easybets stands out for a low R5 minimum deposit, versus R10 at most others.
We don't verify individual transaction times first-hand — these are the operator-stated windows, and real payout speed can depend on your bank and verification status.
Apps for cricket betting on the go
For in-play cricket you'll likely bet from your phone. iOS and Android apps are both listed for Betway, Sportingbet, Sunbet, World Sports Betting and 10bet.
Hollywoodbets, Supabets, BetXchange, LulaBet and Easybets list an Android app but no iOS app in our data — so if you're on an iPhone, those are best used via mobile browser. On app rating, Betway scores highest at 8.7, ahead of Hollywoodbets (8.0) and Sportingbet (7.8).
Licensing and safety
Betting is legal in South Africa through provincially licensed operators, with a minimum age of 18. The bookmakers here hold licences across several provincial boards:
- Western Cape Gambling & Racing Board: Betway, Sportingbet, Sunbet, LulaBet, 10bet.
- KwaZulu-Natal Gaming & Betting Board: Hollywoodbets.
- Gauteng Gambling Board: Supabets, World Sports Betting, BetXchange.
- Mpumalanga Economic Regulator: Easybets.
On our licence-safety scoring, Betway rates highest at 9.0, followed by Hollywoodbets (8.6), Sportingbet (8.4) and Sunbet (8.2). These scores reflect the licensing and safety data we hold, not a first-hand audit. Only bet with a licensed operator and always check the current licence details on the bookmaker's own site before depositing.
