Having been around since 1967, Betfred is a well known bookmaker in the United Kingdom, however, it was established in South Africa in 2021. This is a testament that even though the platform is relatively new in South Africa, it has a backbone of experience in the betting industry. I found the procedure to sign up for a Betfred SA account stress-free. With all necessary and basic data provided i.e. phone, email, name, and password; your bet account is set up within a minute. After registration, the large betting market and betting types caught my attention, as I observed the interestingly unique odds on offer. Betfred's provisions of features on its sportsbook, casino, such as multiple transactions methods, eSports, lottery, and bonuses are cool attractions to South African players. I see the availability of these options as a standard for any bookmaker rating. Betfred South Africa has all that a well rated betting platform should have, because it is one.

As a means, not only attract new customers to join the platform, but also to encourage and appreciate regulars, Betfred offers nice bonuses and promotions. These include the 100% Deposit Match Bonus, Fred's Daily Boost, Bet Builder Boost, Soccer Bet Insurance, Multiple Boost, Sunday Sports Cashback, Cashout, Free Bets, Free Spins, etc.

Betfred welcome bonus

All new customers are eligible to win up to R5000 with Betfred's 100% Deposit Match Bonus. What this means is that when you deposit money into your Betfred account, that amount will be matched in bonus funds, up to a maximum of R5000. If you make a deposit of R100, you'll get an additional R100; deposit R1000, and you'll get an additional R1000; deposit R5000, and get an additional R5000 in your bonus wallet.

The Welcome Bonus will be allocated to you within two hours of a deposit being made. To withdraw any winnings from the bonus, you'll have to roll it over five times at odds of 15/10 or higher. The bonus funds will become invalid if it's not fully transferred to your main wallet within 7 days of receiving it.

Betfred Bonuses

The South African version of Betfred does not have a clear loyalty program available for its regular players. However there are a multiple number of promotions, incentives and freebets provided for all the bookmakers users.

I like the way the platform categorizes its promotions. It has Hot Offers, Sports Offers, Vegas Games Offers, Numbers Offers and Horse Racing Offers. This classification makes it easier for you to pick your game and see the sorts of bonuses available to you after picking your game preference. And, this means that Betfred has a generous amount of bonuses for all its customers. Now, there are a few unclear areas to me, and one of them is the minimum deposit for the welcome bonus. It's not clearly stated that so and so amount is the least amount you can deposit to activate the welcome bonus. The second area is the lack of any sort of loyalty program. I expect that the bookmaker will have that sorted in due time. Aside from that, Betfred offers its users some good free bets. I think that the conditions to win a free bet are very fair. There are daily, weekly and event/game-specific offers that are tempting. I do suggest that more promos can be added—even if it means scrapping some—for encouragement of low deposit bettors. Overall, Betfred's bonus program is good.

• Visit the Betfred website and tap the JOIN button;
• Enter your South African mobile number, check the CAPTCHA box, SEND CODE and enter your details e.g. full name, email, password, etc;
• Tap the CREATE ACCOUNT option to complete the Betfred sign-up process.

Unlike some other bookies who give registration options such as, by phone, by email, or by social network, there is only one method to sign up to Betfred. Simply provide your mobile number and complete the process. The registration time is under a minute depending on the speed of your internet.

Betfred has some really cool bonuses and promos for its customers. These offerings are open to and can be enjoyed by both new registrants and regular players. However, some are specifically for newbies, while others are for those who play certain games.

Using Betfred on mobile is without ado. The site pages lap well on the mobile screen, making it very easy to navigate and peruse. The theme colours are easy on the eye, which aids in making the texts clear to read. The symbols on the options help users quickly switch sections, thereby speeding up the page response time. Compared to the desktop, the mobile uses less data and is obviously more portable. Betfred mobile provides an overall user-friendly experience.

On the site's live sports section, ongoing games are being streamed via text, and not video. So, you can follow the game while it is happening, see the event being played, the teams playing, game time, game score, etc.

Betfred SA features

These videos help those who are new to Betfred by showing them, via short video recordings, how to perform certain tasks on the site. These videos are simple and easily understood.

If you have missed out on a game and want to know how your team or individual player performed, you can simply go to the sporting results feature. You can select the country, event or league, team, etc to see the match results.

Statistics show you all the necessary data recorded in a match, league or tournament. For instance, in a tennis match you can see: date of match, type, sets, gender, prize money, etc. For football, you can see the league table, i.e. teams, games played, won, draw, goal difference, etc.

With live chat, you can speak with a customer support agent directly and in real time. This form of communication makes sending queries and receiving responses faster. Users can also get more details regarding their questions or issues.

With this feature, players now have the power to arrange their own customized bets on basketball and soccer. You have the leverage to select from provided betting markets such as half-time score, match odds, winning margin, and goal scorer.

The biggest nightmare for punters is losing their bets. For this reason, this sportsbook has provided a safe haven for your bets. With the Bet Insurance feature, you are eligible to get your stake back 10 times if you lose your single or multiple bet.

My opinion on any betting platform feature is based on its degree of usefulness or significance to the customers, especially if the bookmaker is focused on a specific country or region. So, after looking through the basic and expected features, I take note of any form of uniqueness of an option or a spanking new features. The latter isn't present on Betfred and so I rate the former. I have seen several "How to" videos, and I can say that Betfred is one of the simplest there is. I like the conciseness of the videos. They are short, straight to the point, clear and very helpful. Although I wish there were more of these videos on the site, I assume that the ones made available covered the basics, according to the most popular queries the platform has received. The live chat, sporting results and statistics features are also some of those options I expected to see. Under sporting statistics, I find interesting the way the large number of sports are arranged in grids; making it really easy to find and select your game stats. All together and more, Betfred has good betting features.
