"Free bet up to 4000 ZAR for new players, wide variety of payment methods including cryptocurrencies, VIP club and mobile application to play from anywhere."

The story of Tonybet is very curious. This betting site was born in Estonia back in 2003 as OmniBet, and quickly grew to become one of the most important in this small ex-Soviet country. In 2009, the famous poker player Tony G. bought Omnibet with the mission of creating the best sports book and decided to name it after him. Almost 20 years after his birth, this betting site comes to South Africa to offer new alternatives to bettors.

Tonybet operates in our country under the license of the PLA and Estonian gambling regulator, a country that belongs to the European Union. The operator continues to grow and reach new countries, such as South Africa or Chile. It also has a license from countries such as Lithuania - where Tony G. comes from -, the United Kingdom, or Denmark. The sports betting site is complemented by an excellent online casino where Poker, the discipline that gave the owner of Tonybet success, couldn't be missing.

What does Tonybet offer Philippines in South Africa?

When we first arrived at Tonybet South Africa, we found a functional website, with a layout similar to what we have on other betting sites. The central part is dedicated to the most popular bets, whether live or upcoming events; while on the left side, we have the list of sports and main events. However, the South Africavian league or the Libertadores Cup do not appear among the most prominent events. The betting slip can be managed on the right margin.

The offer of sports and markets is very comprehensive, both prematch and live. However, at times it seems that the website is made in a hurry and some markets end up in places where they shouldn't. For example, we can find card bets in corner kicks. We do not have horse or greyhound racing bets available, nor do we offer virtual sports. In the promotions section, they highlight a welcome offer up to 4000 ZAR and a VIP club.

There is a section called predictions where every day we are offered 10 events where we have to choose the winner. Several sports are combined such as football, ice hockey, and you can win prizes with eight correct guesses. The live betting section is also quite complete, and like in prematch betting, we find some of the most competitive odds. Additionally, we can play from our mobile phone or tablet with the Tonybet application.

The main payment methods available in sportsbook betting houses are enabled, and you can also play using major cryptocurrencies. The support team provides a live chat service and a contact form. If we access Tonybet Casino, we will find a great selection of slot games, accompanied by roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and poker if we access their live casino.

Welcome bonus to Tonybet

Tonybet welcomes its new users with a 30% bonus. To do this, you need to register on Tonybet and make a first deposit of 40 ZAR. To activate the bonus, you must place five times the initial deposit in sports bets with a minimum probability of 1.50 -single bets- or 1.70 -accumulator bets-. Once this requirement is met, you will receive a free bet bonus for 100% of the deposited amount up to 4000 ZAR.

We have 14 days to meet the billing requirements, and only the first bet for any event counts. The other bets on the same events are not counted, nor are refunds, cancellations, tie bets, partially withdrawn bets, or bonus balance bets. The free bet can only be placed on a multiple bet of at least three selections, with no odds requirements. Any winnings earned will be paid as withdrawable funds.

Other bonuses and promotions

In addition to the welcome bonus for sports betting, Tonybet offers a VIP sports betting program where you can earn up to 200000 ZAR each month. It has six levels each month, and as you bet, you accumulate points to advance. The points are reset each month. Apart from this VIP club, there are other interesting promotions for users of Tonybet South Africa:

• Forecasts: bet on the results of sporting events and win up to 4,000 ZAR in free bets.
• Betting tournament with a prize pool exceeding 6000 ZAR.

For more information about these promotions, the welcome bonus, or the casino offers offered by Tonybet, simply visit the "Promotions" section of their website. There you will find the terms and conditions of each offer or promotion.

Sports and markets

We have over 30 categories to bet on, with football, tennis, and basketball being the most popular options among bettors in South Africa. We can also bet on volleyball, ice hockey, American football, boxing, MMA, motorcycle racing, rugby, snooker… It's worth noting that we're also able to bet on bowling, a sport that's not so common in betting houses. Gaelic football, Australian football, Formula E, Kabaddi, and Pesapallo are some of the more niche options we're offered.

A South Africavian League match easily exceeds 450 available markets. In addition to the most popular ones, including some Asian lines, combo bets such as "1X2 and total", "double chance and both teams to score" - also on halves -, winner to 0, team goals, etc. In a Libertadores match, we surpass 830 markets, and in this type of match, bets on corner kicks, cards, etc. can be added.

In the sports betting menu you will also find eSports betting. Categories like Dota2, Counter-Strike, eSoccer, League of Legends or StarCraft sneak in among the rest of the available sports with dozens of events every day. The variety of markets here is also quite complete, with bets on the winner, total maps, score, exact. In practically any sport we will find a competitive market offer.

Dues

In general, Tonybet offers very competitive odds. If we compare their probabilities with those of LeoVegas, Inkabet, or Ditobet, we can see that Tonybet usually offers the best odds for the favorite while losing out if we want to bet on the underdog. As we always say, the value of the odds depends on the moment we look at them, the sport and event we want to bet on, but if you back the favorite, you might want to consider the odds offered by Tonybet.

Live betting (live section)

When accessing the live betting lobby, football appears first by default. A first filter can be applied by sports: football, tennis, table tennis, hockey, ice hockey, volleyball, bowling, Counter-Strike... Once the sport is selected, the different competitions and events being played with the minute and result appear, as well as bets on the winner of the match and other markets such as double chance or handicap depending on the sport.

Click on the game you are interested in to open up the rest of the markets, where pre-match bets are combined with other live betting features. Statistical information is not always available, which can make interpreting the odds more difficult. However, when available, it is quite interesting and provides valuable information for analyzing the available bets. Note that Tonybet does not offer any streaming services.

Payment methods

When loading funds into our Tonybet account, we can use our VISA and MasterCard bank cards, electronic wallets such as Skrill, NETELLER, Jeton or ecoPayz, and cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Ethereum or Litecoin. Ideally, the money will be available instantly, although it take a few hours for operational reasons. Naturally, the account holder and the source of the funds must match.

Priority will be given to using the same payment method used for depositing to withdraw your winnings from Tonybet. The minimum withdrawal amount is 40 PEN, and the daily maximum is 12,000 PEN. However, if you request to withdraw more than 8$ in a single transaction, Tonybet require additional verification beyond what is required to withdraw from this betting site. Remember that you will not be able to withdraw from Tonybet until you have fully verified your account.

Tonybet app

You can take your betting site with you wherever you go with Tonybet's app, available for Android and iOS. On the Tonybet website, you will find the banner to download the app. Scan the QR code that appears and you can download the application on your mobile or tablet. You will have access to all of Tonybet's functions and your betting sheet, being able to change parameters whenever you see fit without being in front of a computer.

Security

It goes without saying that Tonybet is a completely safe sports betting operator. It operates in South Africa under the authorization of the PLA gaming regulator. It is authorized to offer both sports betting and casino games that are found on this operator. This license is the best guarantee of safe and fair play, where the player's protection, their data and funds are fully protected.

On their website, we read that they have military-grade data encryption, practically invulnerable protection that guarantees that no third party can access our private information. Measures such as account verification when withdrawing funds or the prohibition of gambling for those under 18 are aimed at ensuring the protection of users, although at times we be annoyed by the documentation Tonybet requires from Philippines for betting.

Customer Support

When you navigate through the Tonybet website, you will see a button to open the live chat on the bottom right corner, which is available 24/7. However, when we open said chat, we are offered assistance in English. To receive support in Spanish, we have the contact form that can be filled out in the "Contact" section. According to Tonybet, they will provide a response within 24 hours.

In the help section, we can also find information about betting rules and a section of FAQs. They are expressed in categories such as General Questions, Betting, Payments, Tonybet Account and Bonuses, where we can find information about these aspects. We did not find Tonybet South Africa profiles on social media.

Tonybet: Opinions and conclusion

Tonybet has arrived in South Africa as a betting site suitable for all types of players. Perhaps the most experienced or those looking for very specific sports get more out of it, especially with the VIP club. It is not very common for sports betting sites to have this type of offer, more typical of online casinos; but it can help certain players to register with the prospect of obtaining great advantages.

Beyond this loyalty program and tournaments, we don't have many promotions, and this is one of the aspects to improve at Tonybet, such as the absence of eSports. It's also true that the website can be improved at times, especially in locating some betting markets, but the navigation is very straightforward. Another aspect to highlight is that we have an iOS and Android application.

We should not overlook the variety of payment methods enabled, including the strongest cryptocurrencies; nor a support service that features 24/7 live chat. For all this, Tonybet becomes an operator that we should not lose sight of. It has enjoyed great success in numerous countries, and if it has reached South Africa, it is with the intention of continuing to grow.
