Gbets Overview

Gbets are an innovative online bookie that is looking to revolutionize the betting industry in South Africa from their market-leading features and excellent welcome bonuses. They have undoubtedly designed their site to fulfill the needs of the local punter. I have used many online bookies but Gbets attention to detail is excellent compared to other sports bookies. The feature that will excite punters is the EditMyBet as we all at some time wished to change a selection on our bet slip, and finally, this is possible with Gbets. Guys these are just some of the awesome facts about Gbets. Stick around and read the rest of this Gbets review and be as impressed as I am.

Gbets Strengths and Weaknesses

All of us punters are always on the lookout for the perfect online bookie and although that may never exist, we have found a gem in Gbets. They have great features and benefits that all punters look for but unfortunately, there are a couple of snags as well. I will give an honest assessment from my experience

✔️Gbets Strengths

  • The registration process is one of the easiest I have experienced. It takes a minute and you are registered.
  • They offer a double welcome bonus. You get a No Deposit Required  R25 into your account just for completing the registration. The other welcome offer is that you get a first deposit match of up to R1000. This is activated the instant you make your first deposit with R20 being the minimum deposit.
  • The Cash-Out Feature is already an attractive feature but what makes Gbet stand out in the market is their Edit A Bet feature. You can make changes to an already placed bet which is a first for me with any online bookie.

❌Gbets  Weaknesses

  • The customer service hours are from 8 AM to 10 PM and this is not ideal especially as betting is on 24 hours.
  • I used Gbets telephonic support to query a deposit and this was not a pleasant experience. The agent took very long to answer the call and then had difficulties locating my deposit. I eventually used the WhatsApp service to resolve my query.  

Conclusion

The good certainly outweighs the negatives with Gbets. The customer service through WhatsApp was excellent so my suggestion is if you need to contact Gbets then this is the option to use rather than the telephone support. The welcome bonuses were very promptly loaded onto my account and available to use. This is great as some other bookies take a long time before loading the bonus.

Gbets Full Review

My initial entry to the Gbets site was intimidating at first as there is a host of options available to the punter. Once I located the sports tab I was very impressed by the coverage of all sports. There is something for every punter from sports betting to Bet Games and all the popular casino games are also available. The sports that I enjoy betting on are football, rugby and cricket. Gbets coverage of football is second to none and they have all the major leagues from around the world covered. Their rugby coverage is also excellent and has the local Currie Cup and also the British and Irish Lions tour to SA extensively covered. There is also the overseas coverage of all major cricket leagues like the IPL and Pakistan Super League.

I have intentionally not spoken about the football markets as this needs to be given due credit. Each match has the largest markets available meaning that you have a plethora of betting options to make. The section to find all the different sports are located under the More tab and then you are introduced to a world of different sports.

The obvious attraction to Gbets is their welcome offers and while their R1000 first deposit offer isn’t the best on the market it is one of the easier bonus offers to access. The R25 free bonus just for registering is a cool feature for new punters. Their football odds are market-related while they offer excellent rugby odds plus giving you the option of multiple handicap betting odds as well.

Gbets Banking Options

Deposits at Gbets

There are various ways to deposit funds into your Gbets account and I used the EFT method and it wasn’t all smooth sailing as I had to phone the call centre to confirm payment. This process was time-consuming and tedious. I would recommend using the voucher system as the funds instantly reflect into your account.

Withdrawals at Gbets

This is another aspect that Gbets is a market leader. As a punter myself I want my winnings paid out as soon as possible and Gbets does this in 30 minutes with the Standard Bank Instant Money. This feature is incredible because you receive your voucher pin within 30 minutes or else you get R25 in bonuses. When I did my withdrawal I received the money in 24 minutes. No other online bookie comes close to these payout times. They do however have limited methods of withdrawals namely EFT, E-Wallet and Instant Money. You have to have your FICA documents (ID and Proof of Residence) verified before you make your first withdrawal.

Gbets Customer Support

This was the most disappointing aspect of my whole Gbets experience. I first tried their live chat Bot but received no response. I then contacted them telephonically and had a long waiting period. The agent wasn’t very helpful and referred me to the WhatsApp number. This is where I had my problem resolved so my suggestion is rather to use this mode of communication. The customer service isn’t a 24-hour service like many other bookies and is only available from 8 AM to 10 PM.

Gbets Mobile Options

With many online bookies, I have found that the mobile version that not offer the same experience as the desktop version. Gbets has no such issues and the mobile App is brilliant as it is super fast and easy for any punter to love it. They have simplified the App so you don’t need to be tech-savvy to navigate the site. You can switch to data-free when using the App although the Live Games and Live Betting is not available on this option. Downloading the App was simple and fast and is compatible with Android Phones and iPhones.

Gbets Conclusions

Gbets provides a unique betting experience for both old and new punters. The process from registration to placing a bet is seamless and simple. The markets available are tremendous from all major sports like rugby and football to virtual sports. There is also a vast array of Live games from Casino games to Lucky Numbers. Gbets is the ultimate betting site for all punters.

Gbets Sports Coverage

As mentioned earlier Gbets coverage of all sports is amazing and is a market leader from the South African bookies. They have all bases covered from the popular sports even to the most obscure sport like Air hockey. Punters even have the opportunity to bet on politics. I will take a closer look at the most popular sports at Gbets and assess their coverage of each. 

  • Football – Without a doubt football is the sport that has the largest fan base and following  in our country. Gbets has gone to great lengths to satisfy the punter’s every need and cover all the major leagues from the English Premiership to all the other major leagues in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Their coverage of the African football leagues is one of the mostcomprehensive that I have seen. Our local PSL has the best coverage and I love the fact that they have the odds available well in advance for early bird punters.

  • Rugby- I have often seen other bookies neglect rugby but I’m glad to say that Gbets have given great coverage to rugby. We are after all the home of the World Champion Springboks. Gbets has extensive markets on all local and international rugby from the PRO14 to the local Currie Cup. The British and Irish Lions series betting odds are already being offered by Gbets and this happens only once in 12 years so let’s start getting those bets in early. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the rugby coverage on TV is sponsored by Gbets.
  • Cricket-Gbets has the T20 leagues like the IPL  and Big Bash league well covered. Very often Test cricket is not that well covered by Gbets has done a great job on having international test series well covered
  • Basketball-There is extensive coverage of international basketball from the hugely popular NBA to the lesser-known European leagues like France, Italy and Germany.
  • Lucky NumbersSouth Africans have taken to Betgames like fish to water and has become one of the most popular betting for punters. Gbets has all the famous games from Lucky Numbers to the local township game of Dice.
  • Live Games– This is supported by Evolution Gaming and has all the games of the casino in the comfort of your home. All the popular games like Roulette, Blackjack and Poker are available and they are a host of other game to play. Gbets have transformed the way punters and now bet.

They sponsor TV coverage of the  Currie Cup rugby.

Gbets Betting Markets & Types of Bets Available

There is a multitude of betting markets available at Gbets and like all punters, I am always on the lookout for the best possible odds. Gbets odds rival most of their competitors but their rugby odds are about the best on the market.  Their football odds are not the best but are very market-related.

Football Betting

  • The coverage of football is extensive and covers football leagues from Europe to South America and Asia.
  • I really enjoyed the fact that there is a plethora of options to bet on with regards to African and local football in particular.

The coverage of football is excellent and Gbets seem to have all the market types covered from the number of corners in a match to who will score the last goal. It is also refreshing to see the number of handicap markets available in sports like rugby and basketball. Most bookies tend to only offer one handicap which isn’t great but Gbets gives the punter numerous options.

Accumulator Bets

  • They offer a great last leg out offer meaning if your multiple bet loses in the final leg, Gbets refunds your stake 100%.
  • The larger the number of selections the higher the refund. If you have more than 30 selections and you one leg out. Your refund could be 200% on initial bet.

Gbets offer a great incentive for the punter to take the accumulator bet. You receive a Bet Boost on your accumulator bets and the more teams you select in your bet, the bigger the boost.

Gbets Mobile

The Gbets mobile app is excellent and the speed of the site is the same as the desktop version. I have found with other bookies the mobile version is sluggish but Gbets has outdone all competitors with their mobile app. Gbets has a mobile app for Android devices.

  • You can download the mobile app directly from the Gbets website. At the bottom of the website, there is a button with the download link.
  • After downloading, follow the installation instructions and the mobile app will be ready to use once you finish the process.
  • The mobile version of the website is optimized for both Android and iOS devices and provides the full experience of the main website.

There is, unfortunately, no promotion or bonus for downloading the app

Sports bonuses and promotions

Ihave spoken about the Welcome bonus but the gifts don’t stop coming with Gbets and these are some of the other great promotions that they offer.

  • You receive up to 200% of your stake back if the last leg of your bet loses 

  • You receive a R50 Bonus on your birthday

  • Multi bet bonus boost allows you to get up to a 30% BONUS BOOST  the more selections you make

Gbets Banking Options

  • There are various options for depositing at Gbets and these are the following methods available to punters.

  • I used the direct bank transfer method as it was the easiest for me but had an unpleasant experience as the funds did not immediately reflect into the account. I was eventually assisted and my account credited but the process was cumbersome, to say the least. I have since started using the Voucher system as it is instantly credited to my account.
  • My suggestion is to use the voucher method as it allows for a low minimum deposit of R10. You can visit Gbet.co.za to find out the minimum deposit allowed for the other deposit methods.

Making a Withdrawal at Gbets

Withdrawing my funds from Gbets was one of the easiest tasks I ever completed. There is no other online bookie that has their payout times and simplicity of withdrawal. I used the Instant Money Option and Gbets guarantees that you will receive your money in 30 mins or they will give you a R25 bonus. I took them up on this offer and I received my money in 24 mins. Their service is incredible. You would need to submit your FICA documents before withdrawing for the first time.

Gbets Customer support

I did not have a great experience with Gbets customer service as the Live Chat went unanswered. After a long delay, I finally got through to the telephonic support but my query was still not resolved. I eventually was assisted via the Wattsapp service and my query was resolved.

Gbets has a blog and a FAQ section which I think is very helpful. You can follow this link https://gblog.co.za/faq/ to view the page. The other methods of contact are Email, Telephone and Live Chat
