PantherBet review 2025

Under the “Promotions” page of the PantherBet website, you’ll see 7 bonus cards. These are a mix of sports betting, casino, and hunting bonuses. Let’s explore them more.

Welcome bonus

The first promotion new customers can claim is PantherBet’s welcome offer. It’s a 50% match to your first deposit, up to R2,000. So, if you deposit R1,000, you’ll receive R500 as a bonus, and your total betting bonus will be R1,500. The minimum deposit requirement to qualify for this offer is R20. 

This bonus also includes a 200% Hunting Bonus, which you’ll get on your 2nd deposit, only if you claim the 50% bonus. From the Hunting Bonus, you can get up to R10,000, and the minimum deposit requirement is R10. This bonus is credited in instalments as you continue to place bets on eligible events. 

You can use the bonus funds on sports bets featuring odds between 1.01 and 2.00. This is an “OnlyWin” bonus, which means if you place a bet using the funds and it wins, you only get the winning, not the stake itself. 

We believe the wagering requirements can be confusing for new customers, especially if they’re familiar with how other operators handle it. You may reach out to customer support for further clarification.

Other promotions

The 1st deposit bonus is not the only offer for new customers. You get bonuses for your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th deposits. Here’s a quick overview of these reload bonuses.

• 2nd deposit bonus: This time, you get a 50% match up to R3,000. And if you deposit over R2,000, you get an extra R500 bonus. 
• 3rd deposit bonus: This one is a Hunting bonus. A 300% match to your 3rd deposit, up to R10,000. 
• 4th deposit bonus: On your 4th deposit, expect a 40% match up to R4,000.

We’re glad to let you know that PantherBet offers an excellent VIP Programme for South African customers. It’s a 6-step programme, where you climb the ranks based on comp points (CP). These points are calculated based on your real money wagers on casino games.

Other rewards of the PantherBet VIP programme include:

• A personal VIP manager
• Priority insights and updates
• Boosted cashback percentage
• Weekly & monthly tailored rewards
• Premium-only perks just for you

One of the many things we loved about PantherBet's website is its detailed nature. If you visit the “About Us” page, you’ll find the licensing information clearly stated. The PantherBet.co.za website is owned and operated by Ubuntu Quantum (Pty) Ltd. The company is licensed and regulated by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board.

The license is in accordance with the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Act, 1996 (Act 4 of 1996) and the National Gambling Act, 2004 (Act 7 of 2004). You can verify the license number 10194613-001, issued on 31 March 2025.

Other security features of the platform include 128-bit SSL encryption and affiliation with external responsible gambling organisations. Such organisations include the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation and the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board. You’ll find contact details for both on the associated page. Other responsible gambling tools include time limits, spending limits, and self-exclusion.

Despite being a new operator, PantherBet has nailed the usability aspect. The website runs smoothly on both desktop and mobile devices. The sign up process is straightforward. You get local payment methods to deposit with ZAR. Let’s dig deeper into the navigation and design aspects. 

Navigation

We found exploring the Patherbet website easy and intuitive. The menu clearly labels the main products, as in the sportsbook and the casino. In fact, the casino section gets a dedicated subdomain. The promotion pages are also separate to keep things simple. The footer menu contains all the important links. We didn’t encounter any broken or redirected pages. 

Design

We really like PantherBet’s website design for its simple yet elegant appearance. It's a dark theme with golden accents. The visual elements are minimalistic, which ensures the pages load fast. Important features, such as the bet slip, sign up button, deposit button, etc., are clearly labelled. Overall, it offers a fresh perspective to South African bettors.

Unfortunately, there is no mobile app available for PantherBet. Thankfully, the website is optimised for mobile devices. 

We’ve tested the site on both Android and iOS devices. All features of the desktop site are carried over to mobile. PantherBet’s mobile site makes betting hassle-free, with customer support easily accessible whenever you need it. The interface is clean and user-friendly, with no overlaps, so you can quickly navigate between the sportsbook and promotions.

Despite the absence of PantherBet’s mobile app, we believe it’s a great platform for mobile users. You can enjoy all the features without the added burden on your device’s resources. 

• Android app: No
• iOS app: No

The first thing you need to do after signing up is fund your PantherBet account. As it’s a South African company serving the local audience, your primary currency is ZAR. The “Payments” link in the footer section details all the information you need to know. Let’s explore more. 

Deposit methods

To deposit into your account, you can choose from 16 methods. They’re a mix of e-wallets, bank transfers, vouchers, and credit cards. The notable names include EFTSecure, Visa/Mastercard, SnapScan, OTTVoucher, BluVoucher, EasyPay, etc.

PantherBet doesn’t charge any fees for any of the methods. All transactions are processed instantly. However, network delays can result in up to 1 hour processing time. If the funds still don’t arrive in your account, contact customer support. Whatever payment method you decide to use, it must be registered in your name.

• Minimum deposit: R10
• Maximum deposit: R500,000

Withdrawal methods

As part of PantherBet’s cash out feature, you can use 7 payment methods. It’s basically the deposit methods minus the prepaid vouchers. The most widely used withdrawal methods in South Africa are EFT, OZOW, OTTVoucher, Instant Money, etc. 

Of course, you must verify your account with the necessary documents to prove your identity and residence to FICA. You can directly upload the necessary documents to your personal profile. You should find the list of required documents in the said section of your profile. Such documents include your ID, selfie, proof of address, source of funds, etc. 

While PantherBet promises to process the verification of documents instantly, it can take a few hours depending on the queue. 

As for PantherBet’s withdrawal times, they’re also instant. But if the team decides to review the transaction, it can take up to 24 hours. Our experience suggests e-wallets are the fastest, while bank transfers are the slowest. 

• Minimum withdrawal: R10
• Maximum withdrawal: R1,000,000

After thoroughly testing PantherBet’s customer support, we’re not impressed. The primary channel for communication is live chat, which runs 24/7. Also, the only available support language is English.

To begin a chat, you must enter your name and email address. Initially, you interact with a chatbot, and you can choose from a few cards to see if you can get an answer.

Transferring you to an agent may take up to 10 minutes. Once we connected with an agent and asked questions, they initially gave incorrect answers. While they came around with correct answers eventually, we feel the user experience can be better.

Other channels of communication include telephone support and email. You can navigate to the “Support” link in the footer menu and use the website form to send a message. This can take up to 24 hours to get a reply.

• Live chat: available 24/7
• Email: [email protected]
• Phone: +27762470816

The primary product of the PantherBet brand is the online sportsbook. Here, you can bet on your favourite sports at competitive odds. In this section of our review, let’s discuss the coverage, quality of the odds, in-play betting, and the important betting rules.

Sports coverage (38)

On the sports menu of PantherBet’s sportsbook, you’ll find a total of 38 disciplines, categorised in top sports and other sports menus. Some of the notable disciplines are: Football, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Cricket, Basketball, Tennis, Volleyball, NASCAR and MMA.

Besides regular sports, you can also bet on non-sporting events, such as TV shows, movies, and global politics. Every listing on the sports menu comes with a side menu, where you can access the available tournaments. Options include the South African Premier League, English Premier League, La Liga, ICC World Cup, and so on.

Sports odds

For the purpose of this PantherBet sportsbook review, we’ve analysed PantherBet’s odds for both 1x2 and no-draw markets. Our findings suggest that PantherBet’s margins are on the higher side, over 8% to be precise. It’s true for both types of markets.

Live betting and streaming

Besides pre-match betting, PantherBet offers excellent live betting coverage. On the sportsbook page, press the “In-Play” tab on the menu to see all available live events. Popular sports for PantherBet’s live betting include football, cricket, basketball, tennis, volleyball, table tennis, and ice hockey. On average, you can expect 300+ events to bet on every day.

As for PantherBet’s live streaming, you can toggle the “Only with video” button to aggregate events that come with streams. However, we find the streaming library very limited.

Limits

According to the betting rules at PantherBet, the minimum stake for sports bets is R1.00. The maximum bet for both single and multiple bets is R1,000,000. The operator also states that the exact limits may vary from sport to sport.

Betting markets

Across the 38 sports disciplines, you can expect over 5,000 markets on offer. The specifics of the markets may vary based on what sport you choose. In general, we can list the following market types:

• Moneyline/outrights
• 1x2
• Over/under (total)
• Dismissal method (cricket)
• Handicap (Asian/European)
• Both teams to score

Minimum / maximum deposits

According to the payments page, the minimum deposit at PantherBet is R10.00. The maximum deposit for a single transaction is capped at R500,000 for most methods.

Besides sports betting, the operator also offers casino games to the South African audience. PantherBet’s casino, however, is very small compared to other brands operating in the region. You get a handful of games to choose from. Let’s explore them.

Software providers (10)

When you choose “Games” from the main menu, the site will take you to a subdomain. From the casino menu, you can choose “All Games” and see the full list of software providers under the “Providers” menu. The available names are: Endorphina, Spribe, BetGames, Pragmatic Play, Evolution, NetEnt, Red Tiger Gaming, Nolimit, Big Time Gaming, and Ezugi.

Selection of casino games

As the software provider portfolio is small, the number of available games is also limited. At the time of writing, you get a library of around 400 titles. The most popular games are:

• Aviator
• Book of Santa
• Buffalo 50
• Big Bass Bonanza
• Fruit Party
• Lucky Streak
• 7 Bonus Up

Among the providers, Big Time Gaming is the largest with 144 games on offer. BTG is followed by NetEnt and Pragmatic Play. You also sort the games by slots, bonus buy, jackpot games, poker, instant win, etc.

Live dealer games

Unfortunately, you won’t find any tabs or links for live dealer games. However, you’ll find “Roulette”, “Live Shows”, etc., tabs in the game sorting menu. Basically, the live games are embedded in the main game library rather than in a dedicated section.

These games are primarily powered by NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Ezugi, and Evolution. Popular titles include Auto-Roulette, Auto-Roulette VIP, First Person Blackjack, Cash or Crash, Crazy Coin Flip, Diamond Roulette, Namaste Roulette, etc.

As these are top providers in iGaming, you can expect a great time playing these games despite having a limited selection.

Minimum / maximum deposits

The minimum bet for all slot games starts at R1.00, and for all live dealer games, it’s R0.50. While the maximum bet for games is not specified, the maximum payout for casino games is capped at R1,000,000.

The laws of South Africa dictate that you must be at least 18 years old to sign up at a gambling site. To create an account with PantherBet, you must adhere to these laws. Thankfully, PantherBet’s registration process can be completed in under 5 minutes as long as you have a registered phone number. Follow the steps below. 

1. Visit the official website of PantherBet and locate the “Sign Up” button on the interface.
2. Provide your first name, last name, phone number, email address, password, and full address.
3. In the next screen, choose your ID type (ID Card/Passport), gender, date of birth, and source of funds. 
4. Agree to the T&Cs and the fact that you’re at least 18 years old. 
5. Press the “Complete Sign Up” button to finish the process. 

Your account at PantherBet, or any gambling account in South Africa, is subject to FICA verification. In fact, FICA requires betting operators to verify the identity of the customer before processing an account. Hence, you need to provide your ID/passport number during registration.

We’ve completed our analysis for this review of PantherBet. Considering its new platform, the features are praiseworthy. You get to bet with your native currency (ZAR). Not only that, but the entire platform is made with the South African audience in mind. Hence, its only supported language is English.

On the sports betting front, you get to choose from 38 options that include both sports and non-sporting events. Although the margins are slightly high, you can still consider it thanks to the market coverage.

We have mixed feelings about PantherBet’s offerings on mobile, as there are no native apps. But the mobile site runs flawlessly and lets you perform all the functions. PantherBet’s specials include the OnlyWin bonuses, where you get the winnings from successful bets, minus the stake.

We’re happy with the payment structure. You can use all 15+ common methods available in South Africa, and you don’t have to pay extra fees. The customer support is friendly, but it can be better in terms of expertise.

Overall, PantherBet is a decent platform for its age. The issues we faced are most likely due to its green nature. With time, we hope the operator will overcome the issues and become a popular name in the region.
