1. Account Management & FICA Verification
Getting your Mzansi bet account set up and verified is the first step to action, and we’ve made it as simple as possible. This section covers everything from creating your account and resetting your password to understanding the crucial FICA verification process required by South African law.

Below the password field, you will find and click the "Forgot Password?" link. You will then be prompted to enter the mobile number associated with your Mzansibet account. We will then send you an SMS with a one-time-pin (OTP) and instructions on how to set a new, secure password.
What is FICA and why is it mandatory?
FICA is a legal requirement in South Africa designed to protect both you and us from fraud. The Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) is a national law that requires all accountable institutions, including licensed betting operators like Mzansibet, to know their customers' identities. This process is mandatory and helps prevent financial crimes like money laundering and identity theft, ensuring a safe and secure betting environment for all our players. You must be FICA-verified before you can withdraw any winnings. Learn more on our dedicated FICA Information Page.
What documents do I need for FICA verification?
You'll just need a clear copy of your ID and a recent proof of address to get verified. To comply with FICA regulations, we require two types of documents. For your Proof of Identity, you can provide a clear, legible copy of your South African identity document, which can be the green ID book or a Smart ID Card showing both sides. A valid Passport is also acceptable. For your Proof of Address, you must submit a document that is not older than 3 months and clearly shows your full name and residential address. Acceptable documents include a utility bill, a bank statement, a retail account statement, or an official letter from your municipality.
How do I submit my FICA documents?
You can easily upload your FICA documents directly from your Mzansibet account profile. To begin the process, log in to your Mzansibet account and navigate to your "My Account" or "Profile" section. There, you will look for the "FICA Upload" or "Verify Account" option. You can then follow the prompts to upload clear images or scans of your ID and Proof of Address documents. Please ensure all four corners of each document are visible and all text is readable.
How long does FICA verification take?
Our team works fast! FICA verification is typically completed within 24 hours. We strive to review and approve all FICA submissions as quickly as possible, often within just a few hours of submission. During weekends or exceptionally busy periods, this may take up to 24 hours. You will receive an email or SMS notification as soon as your account has been successfully verified. And don't forget – once you're verified, you can claim your FICA Bonus!
2. Deposits & Withdrawals
Moving your money in and out of Mzansibet is safe, fast, and tailored for South African players. This section details our trusted payment methods, processing times, and limits, ensuring you have complete clarity and confidence when managing your funds.
Payment Methods
What payment methods can I use to deposit?
We support a wide range of popular and convenient South African payment methods. You can fund your Mzansibet account instantly, and the quickest way to play is by using vouchers like 1Voucher and OTT Voucher. Another fast option is to securely deposit directly from your bank account using Ozow Instant EFT, which works with all major South African banks. If you prefer, you can also make a traditional Direct Bank Transfer (EFT) to our bank account, though these deposits may take longer to reflect. For a full breakdown of each method, please visit our Payments Page.
What is the minimum deposit amount?
You can start playing with as little as R10. For voucher and Ozow Instant EFT deposits, the minimum amount is just R10. For traditional Direct EFT transfers, the minimum is R50 to ensure efficient processing.
How long does it take for my deposit to show?
Most deposits are instant! Deposits made using Vouchers (1Voucher, OTT) and Ozow Instant EFT will reflect in your Mzansibet account balance immediately. If you make a Direct EFT payment, it may take 1-2 business days to be allocated to your account, depending on inter-bank clearing times.
How do I withdraw my winnings?
Getting your hands on your winnings is a straightforward process. Once your account is FICA verified, you can request a withdrawal directly to your South African bank account. Simply log in to your Mzansibet account and go to the "Withdrawal" section. You will need to ensure your bank details are correctly loaded and verified, then enter the amount you wish to withdraw and confirm the request. Our team will then process it.
How long do withdrawals take?
We pride ourselves on fast payouts! Our goal is to process withdrawals within 24-48 hours. Our payments team processes withdrawal requests daily (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays). While we aim to pay out as quickly as possible, the exact time it takes for the funds to reflect in your bank account can depend on your bank's processing times. Most players receive their funds within two business days.
Are there any fees on deposits or withdrawals?
At Mzansibet, we believe in transparency. We do not charge any fees for deposits. For withdrawals, we offer a certain number of free withdrawals per month. Any subsequent withdrawals within the same period may be subject to a small administrative fee to cover bank charges. For the most current information, please check the Payments Page.
What are the minimum and maximum withdrawal limits?
Our limits are designed to accommodate all types of players. The standard minimum withdrawal amount is R50. Maximum withdrawal limits are in place to ensure security and compliance with financial regulations. These limits can vary based on your account status and transaction history. For specific details on high-value withdrawals, please contact our customer support.
3. Bonuses & Promotions
We love to reward our players with extra value! From a generous Welcome Bonus to exciting promotions, here’s how you can make the most of your Mzansibet experience. This section explains how our key bonuses work, including how to claim them and what you need to know about wagering requirements.
Promo
What is the Mzansibet Welcome Bonus and how do I claim it?
Get a massive boost on your first deposit! Our Welcome Bonus is designed to give new players a fantastic start. To claim it, you first need to register a new Mzansibet account and then make your first deposit using any of our supported payment methods. The bonus will then be automatically credited to your bonus wallet, with no bonus code needed! The specific percentage and maximum bonus amount can vary, so always check the details on our official Promotions Page for the latest offer.
How do I get my FICA Bonus?
Get rewarded for keeping your account safe! To receive your FICA Bonus, you just need to submit your FICA documents (a copy of your ID and Proof of Address). After our team has reviewed and approved your documents, which usually happens within 24 hours, the FICA Bonus will be automatically allocated to your account. This bonus is a great way to place a bet on us while you explore our wide range of sports and games.
What are wagering requirements for my bonus?
Wagering requirements are standard conditions for turning your bonus funds into real, withdrawable cash. A wagering requirement (also known as "playthrough" or "rollover") is the number of times you need to bet your bonus amount before the funds and any associated winnings can be moved to your main cash balance. For example, if you receive a R100 bonus with a 5x wagering requirement, you must place bets totalling R500 (R100 x 5) before you can withdraw. Always read the specific terms for each bonus on our Promotions Page.
How do I use a Free Bet on Mzansibet?
Using a Free Bet is easy and lets you place a bet without using your own cash. To use it, you first add a selection to your bet slip just as you normally would. On the bet slip, you will see an option to use your available Free Bet instead of your cash balance. Simply select the Free Bet token, and the stake will be filled automatically. You can then confirm your bet by clicking "Place Bet". If your Free Bet wins, the winnings (minus the value of the Free Bet stake) will be credited to your cash balance.
Where can I find the full terms and conditions for promotions?
Transparency is key. Full T&Cs for every offer are always available on our Promotions page. For every bonus, Free Bet, or special offer we run, you can find a link to the detailed Terms and Conditions directly on the Promotions Page. We strongly encourage all players to read these T&Cs carefully to understand the wagering requirements, minimum odds, expiry dates, and other important rules.
4. Your Guide to Sports Betting
Ready to place your first bet or want to master the features? This section is your playbook for betting on Mzansibet. We cover the basics of placing a bet, the power of multi-bets, and explain key features like Cash Out to give you more control over your betting.
Sports Betting
How do I place a sports bet?
Placing a bet on your favourite team takes just a few clicks. First, navigate to our Sports Page and select the sport you want to bet on. Then, browse the leagues and matches available and click on the event you are interested in. To make your selection, click on the odds for the outcome you want to predict, which will automatically add it to your Bet Slip. On the Bet Slip, enter the amount of money you wish to wager in the "Stake" box and click the "Place Bet" button to confirm. Your bet is now on!
How does a multi-bet (accumulator) work?
A multi-bet allows you to combine several different bets into one, with the potential for much higher winnings. A multi-bet (also known as an accumulator or parlay) links multiple selections together. For the bet to be a winner, all of your individual selections must be correct. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, which is why the potential payouts can be so large. To place one, simply add two or more selections to your Bet Slip, and it will automatically be categorised as a "Multi-Bet."
What does “Cash Out” mean?
Cash Out gives you the ultimate control, allowing you to settle a bet before the event has finished. This feature lets you take a guaranteed profit if your bet is winning, or cut your losses if your bet looks like it might lose. The Cash Out amount offered is a real-time value based on the current state of the match. If you choose to Cash Out, the bet is settled immediately at that offered amount, regardless of the final outcome.
My bet is still pending, why hasn’t it been settled?
Patience is key – bets are settled once the official match result is confirmed. A bet will remain "pending" or "open" until the final, official result of the event is published by the governing body. Our team works diligently to settle all markets as quickly as possible after this confirmation. For most bets, settlement will only occur after the final whistle. If you feel an unreasonable amount of time has passed, please have your Bet ID ready and contact our Customer Support.
Where can I find the results for a match?
We provide comprehensive results to help you track your bets. You can find the outcomes of past events in our "Results" section on the sports page. This database allows you to search by sport, league, and date to easily find the final score and other key statistics for any match we offered odds on.

How can I self-exclude if I need a break from gambling?
If you feel you need to take a break from betting, we provide a simple self-exclusion tool. Self-exclusion allows you to temporarily or permanently block access to your Mzansibet account for a period of your choosing, from 6 months to a permanent closure. During this time, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or bet. To initiate self-exclusion, please visit the Responsible Gambling page or contact our support team directly. We are here to help, no questions asked.
