JabulaBets review 2025

The all-new JabulaBets website boasts being bigger, better, and more generous than ever. According to our research, there’s plenty of truth in that, especially when we consider their sportsbook welcome bonus package. Let’s have ourselves a closer look!

Welcome bonus

Jabulabet’s welcome offer isn’t just meant for a single deposit. Instead, it comes in the form of a welcome package that spreads across your first three payments to the bookmaker.

• 50% first deposit boost up to R5000 with the code SPORT1
• 75% second deposit boost up to R5,000 with the code SPORT2
• 25% third deposit boost up to R5,000 with the code SPORT3

According to the bonus terms and conditions, the minimum deposit requirement for each of the three boosts is R20, and players have 7 days until the bonus expires.

Luckily, there are no restrictions on which events they can bet on, but the odds must be between 1.80 and 3.00.

Before you register an account at JabulaBets, make sure you familiarise yourself with all bonus terms and conditions.

Other promotions

Unfortunately, JabulaBets doesn’t offer any additional promotions for its sportsbook hub. There are a few noteworthy casino promotions, but they’re specifically targeting casino enthusiasts, meaning punters won’t get any value out of them.

JabulaBets’ loyalty program offers 5 tiers, ranging from bronze to black, and provides splendid rewards. They include everything from special rank bonuses (free spins and bonus funds), access to special weekly bonuses, weekly cashback, and exclusive birthday gifts.

Unfortunately, the loyalty program is only available for JabulaBets’ casino hub, since it only takes casino games into account.

According to our research, JabulaBets website is a properly licensed gambling platform owned by Jabula Bets (Pty) Ltd, under registration number 2021/518797/07 and licence number 10190512, dating back to November 2021.

The platform is regulated by the Western Cape Racing and Gambling Board and adheres to all gambling regulations imposed by the regulator.

Security-wise, JabulaBets features site-wide encryption and SSL certification, both of which are crucial for a safe gambling experience. The registration procedure is simple, yet it properly protects all of your banking and personal data.

After a full week of testing on several devices, we can safely conclude that JabulaBets’ user interface is at an admirable level.

Everything starts with the registration, which is simple and shouldn’t take longer than 2 minutes despite requiring many details, including your ID and phone number. It continues with a super simple bet categorisation, a separate casino and sportsbook hub, and simple bet placement procedures.

Navigation

To find sports betting markets at JabulaBets, all you need to do is click on Sports in the top left corner of the site. This will open the classic bookmaker table, with a list of sporting categories on the left, the top in-play events in the centre, and betting slip info plus statistical details on the right.

Design

Design-wise, JabulaBets prioritises brown and grey background colours with golden accents. Thanks to the somewhat weird colour scheme, the brand’s website design won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, that’s for sure.

Unfortunately, the JabulaBets mobile app does not exist at the moment.

On the bright side, we also tested the site using our Android and iOS devices and everything worked like a charm. There is, however, an extension which you can use to have JabulaBets as a shortcut on your home screen.

The mobile version of the JabulaBets website is perfectly optimised for touch input and scales perfectly on smaller device displays. So, if your primary gambling device of choice is a smartphone, JabulaBets is going to be right up your alley.

• Android app: no
• iOS app: no

In this section of our guide, we’ll discuss both deposit and withdrawal methods, as well as JabulaBets' cash out feature, which bears crucial importance for experienced punters.

The customer support agents are legit (not AI) and trained well to quickly sort out the users’ issues. However, you can only contact them at defined hours.

Luckily, our tests have proven that to be correct, too. We reached out on two separate weekdays with two separate test problems, and they were both solved in less than 2 minutes. If you have more complex issues, you can always reach out to them via email so you have a written record of the communication. You can also make use of WhatsApp for text messaging and phone support.

• Live chat: Mon-Sat: 08:00 to 20:00, Sunday: 08:00 to 17:00
