How I registered with Betway in 3 easy steps
It took less than four minutes to open my Betway account, using the registration by mobile number method. Betway does not have other methods to register but this is not an issue as you will not find an easier registration process. These were the simple steps to follow to create a new account:
Step 1 Registration: Betway Sign Up
On the Betway home page, click on the Green Sign-Up button at the top right of the page or the Sign Up Offer promotion “JOIN TODAY AND GET UP TO R1000”.
Step 2 Registration: Register an Account
You will then be redirected to a Registration form that will require you to add your personal details. This includes:
- Mobile Number
- Password
- First and Middle Name (as per your passport or FICA)
- Surname
- Email Address
- Sign Up Code if you have one – you can use my code COMPLETESPORTS
Step 3 Registration: Select your Bonus
Once you’ve selected “Next” you’ll be required to add or select the following:
- South African ID Number or your Passport Number
- Date of Birth
- Source of Funds for betting
- Preferred language
- Welcome Bonus offer – I personally chose Sports
- Confirm whether you want to receive promotions and marketing updates (I recommend)
- Click Register
Betway Registration Tips
Whilst I found the registration process quick and easy, it’s mainly because I came prepared with the necessary documents and information to sign up. To make signing up as easy, make sure you have the following:
- Correct mobile number and email address
- Passport or South African ID
- A strong and secure password you can remember
- Good internet connection
How do I register with Betway via SMS?
Registering with Betway via SMS is easy. Send an SMS text with the word “Accept” to 6446. You will receive a confirmation SMS with your account details, including your username and password.
Betway Register Login
Having registered for my new account, I was very keen to get underway and start betting. Having been away from my phone for a few hours I needed to login. Again, this was easy. Load up the website and select “Login” in the top right-hand corner next to sign up. Then just enter your mobile number and password.
Having done that, I was notified to upload by ID document and proof of residence to complete the FICA verification. Betway’s FICA approval is often automated, but sometimes you’ll need to provide supporting documentation. This is perfectly normal for betting sites in South Africa. Next step, deposit and activating the Betway Free Bet!

Considerations Before Registering with Betway
Before you join Betway, it’s important to assess whether it’s the right and responsible thing to do for both you and your family. Make sure you’ve considered the following:
- Are you signing up for the right reasons? If you’re in debt for example, we would not recommend betting as a solution. But if done for fun and as a hobby then great
- Do you have the right frame of mind? If the betting experience is not fun, then you should not sign up or should stop. Betting can be addictive and people can lose money if they are not careful
- Have you set aside a budget to bet with? Only bet within your means
- Do you know what you’re going to bet on? Always have a bet in mind, whether its on Todays Football Fixtures, or your favourite team are playing. Alternatively, you may like to play Betway Aviator for the first time.
My Verdict on Betway Registration
Betway have really simplified the entire betting process from signing up all the way to placing your bet. It has the best user experience out of any other betting sites I’ve used. The only slight frustration I had, and this is small, was having to add supporting documents when I signed up. However, this is not the norm with Betway, but be prepared for it. I also found the Welcome Bonus appealing, with clear terms and conditions in order to qualify. I’d highly recommend Betway to any punter, whether they are a beginner or pro. 10/10!!!
