Review Criteria for a South African Online Casino

Before you sign up at an online casino available to South African players, it is important to consider a few important factors, including:

• The track record of the operator and their history.
• The software used. Is it a reputable vendor? Do they update games regularly? Are the games independently audited for fairness?
• Bonuses and promotions offered and the fairness of their terms. You don’t want to play with bonuses that you will never be able to clear into real cash.

Software Used

Some online casino software developers restrict play from South Africa but this is not a real issue as many reputable ones allow real money gambling from South Africa. Some of the biggest names include Playtech, Realtime Gaming and Rival Gaming.

The software used by a casino determines the amount and type of games. Some are stronger when it comes to specific games like slots for example. In addition, many Rands Casinos have more than one software provider, so you may see one company or over a dozen companies supplying games.

Customer Support

You need local service in the South African time zone, Nobody wants to wait 24 hours to get their questions answered.

Most casinos offer a variety of service methods like telephone, email, live chat, and a contact form. At least one contact method should be available to you and when you are online. Some casinos provide 24/7 support. Others have specific hours such as 9am to 9pm GMT. If you have chosen a casino that offers a new casino bonus, where you have to contact support, it helps to know they will receive your message while you play.

Cashout Processing

Processing times for withdrawals vary. Withdrawal or cashout processing is three steps: pending, in process (with the payment provider), and completed. During the pending part of cashout processing a player has the ability to reverse the withdrawal request. This period typically lasts 24 to 48 hours, but there are some casinos that allow up 72 hours.

"Sending" refers to the step in which money has been withdrawn from your account, reversal is no longer an option, but the funds may not appear in your receiving account.

The banking method determines the time frame for processing deposits and withdrawals. Once the funds are no longer being transferred but accepted and showing in your receiving account the process is complete.

Banking

Bank transfers, eWallets, credit and debit cards are banking methods offered at casinos. South African online casinos are also known for taking prepaid credit cards. Banking methods have different deposit/withdrawal options, processing times, and fees. You can learn more about banking here on X Casino Bonus.
