About BetSherpa SA
An independent comparison site for licensed South African betting sites. We don't take bets, we don't run games — we test bookmakers and explain how things work in plain language.
How We Make Money (Full Disclosure)
When you open a betting account through some links on this site, the bookmaker pays us a referral commission. This is how the site is funded. Three rules keep that honest:
- Commissions never change rankings. Comparison tables and ratings are set by our testing criteria before any commercial conversation.
- Every paid link is marked with
sponsoredattributes and appears on pages carrying a disclosure banner. - We list licensed bookmakers only. No offshore casino ever appears here, whatever the commission offered — unlicensed operators are where South Africans get burned.
How We Test
Every bookmaker reviewed gets a real account, real deposits (including voucher deposits bought with cash), real bets and a real withdrawal to a South African bank account. We time the withdrawal, read the full bonus terms, and test the site on an entry-level Android phone over mobile data — because that's how most of South Africa bets.
Our Editorial Rules
- We state the house edge plainly on every game guide. No "winning tricks", no predictor apps, no systems — we debunk them instead.
- Every page shows its last-updated date; bonus details are re-verified monthly.
- Responsible gambling information appears on every page, and our help page is always one click away.
- Corrections: if we got something wrong, email us and we'll fix it and note the change.
