At first glance, JabulaBets is going to look quite busy and packed. It’s full of banners, thumbnails, links, icons, text and other elements. However, as you spend time and browse around a little bit, everything will start to fall in place and make intuitive sense. All the links and banners are actually needed for you to get where you are going. JabulaBets packs a full-fledged sportsbook and a casino with thousands of games in one site and so there is a lot of content and yet, everything is organized sensible and it is evident that a lot of attention has been given to user experience. The site has been quality checked thoroughly and we faced zero glitches during our extensive testing of it for the purpose of this review.
JabulaBets is run by a local South African company called Jabula Bets (Pty) Ltd and this is always a good sign when the operator is South Africa based. They are licensed by the Western Cape Racing and Gambling Board and this means they follow local rules, local FICA rules and they are answerable to a provincial regulator right here in South Africa.
If you are based in South Africa and you enjoy online casino games and also like placing sports bets every now and then on football, cricket, rugby or even eSports, then JabulaBets is one of the top platforms and it ticks a lot of boxes. All transactional activity is in South African rands only and this is quite convenient because you do not have to think about exchange rates or mentally convert every amount in your head. On top of that, the site has more than 900 casino games together with a fully-fledged sportsbook section that covers local as well as international events, plus a separate eSports area for Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and much more.
JabulaBets puts a lot of effort into bonuses and regular promos as well. There is a no deposit spins offer for new signups, there is a three-tier welcome bonus for regular deposits, there is a bigger highroller welcome package for punters with deeper pockets, then there are weekday and weekend promos, loyalty levels, tournaments and monthly draws as well.

If you are 18 years or older and you live in South Africa, you are allowed to open a JabulaBets account and start using the site. Because of FICA rules, you will notice that the registration form and the later verification steps ask you for a bit more information than some offshore casinos do, however this is normal when you deal with a licensed South African bookmaker and it is actually for the safety of your own data.
If you are a new player and you want to sign up and grab the no deposit spins and the first deposit offer, follow the steps below and you should be registered with a new account in just a minute or two:
If you forget your password at a later time (happens to all of us) and you cannot log in, there is a “Forgot Password?” link on the login page. You click that, you enter your email and JabulaBets sends you a link that lets you configure a new password.
There is something for new players, something for bigger spenders, several deals for regular depositors and even structured loyalty levels with weekly cashback and birthday gifts. On top of that, there are time limited campaigns such as Black Friday week, weekly tournaments, a monthly lucky draw and more.
Before you claim anything, it is very important that you understand that JabulaBets has a detailed bonus terms and conditions page. It explains things such as one bonus per person, wagering requirements, maximum bets during wagering, what happens when you cancel a bonus, game contribution percentages and how they treat bonus abuse. It is not a bad idea to read that page at least once slowly so you do not get unwanted surprises later.
Below, we will break down some of the top promos and discuss how they work, what the rules are and how you can claim them.
Use the JABULA30 code during registration in the bonus code field or if you somehow skipped that, complete your profile verification by submitting your ID and the selfie under the verification section of your account, then Enter JABULA30 under the bonuses section of “My Account” and activate the promotion from there.
In total, that is up to R35,000 in bonus money plus 225 free spins if you complete all three steps at the maximum levels of course.
If you are the type of player who feels that a R10,000 cap on the deposit probably will not scratch the itch, then the highroller offer at JabulaBets may appeal to you. This package is meant for larger deposits and it stretches up to R40,000 per step with higher spin values.
Here is the structure:
Minimum deposit for each highroller step is R1,000 and the maximum deposit that counts toward the match is R40,000. All spins in this case are valued at R3 per spin and this is certainly much higher than the R0.20 value from the standard package.
Spins are for Gates of Olympus, Buffalo King Megaways and Sugar Rush again, this time with minimum bets of R3 on each. Winnings from these free spins will come with a 30x wagering requirement and the same general rules apply when it comes to activation periods and result periods. Maximum payout from the bonus spins is R5,000.
The codes here are as follows:
Once you are done with welcome offers and you move into your regular weekly routine, JabulaBets still gives you reasons to log in on certain days. One such day is Tuesday and it comes with a promo that gets you free spins when you deposit within certain ranges.
All bonus activity is governed by the general bonus section in the PantherBet terms which states that each promotion is limited to one per person and that the operator can reclaim bonuses in the case of abuse.
Wednesday comes with quite a unique promo. Instead of a fixed number of spins, you get to pick from three mystery boxes after you deposit with the correct code.
The general idea is that you open your usual mobile browser, type in the JabulaBets address and then log in with your details. Once you are in, you can go to the casino lobby for slots, the live games area, the sports lobby, the eSports section and the promotions pages by just tapping on the. The mobile site shall display clear tabs for casino, live games, battles, lucky draw, loyalty and promos, which makes it a walk in the park to jump between sections, even when you use a smaller phone screen.
On mobile, you still get access to the same set of games, bonuses, sports betting markets and other features that you have on desktop. You can register, complete KYC, deposit, withdraw, claim bonuses, activate promotions in the bonuses tab and contact support. You also have full access to the FAQ and responsible gambling sections through the footer links.
If you want a bit more space when you open the bigger game lobbies or live tables, you can always rotate your phone to landscape mode and that usually allows the content more room to stretch out within and makes things easier for you as the user/player.
The mobile site worked just great on browsers such as Google Chrome and Safari, both of which we tested thoroughly. The site seems to be mobile optimized and so should work on any modern mobile browser, including:

However, due to the limited screen real estate, some games could feel like too much of a squeeze and may not be the best options to play on a smaller screen.
