BETTING ON FOOTBALL IN SOUTH AFRICA
BETTING ON FOOTBALL IN SOUTH AFRICA

 Wagering Strategy – Providing a Fair Return for Wagering on SAFA Events

 South African Football should receive a fair return from wagering operators
who conduct betting on SAFA events.
 Over the last six years, South African sports betting has grown by 450% to
ZAR39.7 billion at an average compound growth rate of 32.9% per annum(1).
We estimate that gross return to South African wagering operators to be
approximately ZAR3.5 billion(2).
 The vast proportion of this betting is conducted on football 60%-90%,
with international football dominating domestic events(3).
 Betting on rugby, cricket and American sports (whilst being relatively
small in comparison to football) comprise the majority of the
remaining sports betting activity.
 Currently wagering operators do not directly contribute funding the
sports controlling bodies they bet on.
BETTING ON FOOTBALL IN SOUTH AFRICA

• 1 Source: “National Gambling Statistics financial year ending 31 March 2018”, National Gambling Board
of SA

• 2 Based on an average gross margin of 8.5% on fixed odds sports betting and 20.0% on totalisator
sports

• 3 60% is based on the understanding that “numbers games” maybe included within “national sports
betting statistics”, whilst the 90% estimate is based on national “sports betting statistics” excluding
numbers games.
