How we rate, and how we are paid

What Punter Reviews is

Punter Reviews ranks the bookmakers licensed in South Africa. It is run by Punter, which makes an app that compares what every bookmaker pays for the same bet. Punter is not a bookmaker: it never takes a bet and never holds your money.

How we rate a bookmaker

Four things decide the order: how often a bookmaker's price is the best on the same bet, how fast a withdrawal reaches your bank once it is approved, what it gives you to join, and what punters who bet there say about it. We list only bookmakers licensed in South Africa.

Where the figures come from

The 9 bookmakers' ratings (2,911 reviews in all), welcome bonuses and payout times were last updated in August 2026. Bonuses are each bookmaker's own terms and they change often, so check the current terms at the bookmaker before you sign up.

How Punter makes money

Bookmakers may pay Punter a fee when somebody joins them through a Punter link. That is how Punter is paid; you never pay Punter anything. 18+, T&Cs apply.
