Says Daniel Kustelski, group marketing and sales: “South Africans are world famous for their sporting passion. Some even say we’re fanatics. Importantly, our sports fans are knowledgeable and now have a platform where they can make that knowledge pay, at highly competitive odds - and have fun doing it.”

The recent Blue Bulls versus Stormers rugby match in Soweto saw the country turn blue – both light and dark – and the people of Soweto welcome crowds into their homes as the all-South African Super 14 final rocked the nation. Images of Bulls supporters enjoying the hospitality of surrounding shebeens and of soccer fans screaming for the Bulls were almost as potent as the images of the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Such is the power of sport in the Rainbow Nation.

Now local fans have the chance to make their allegiance pay off at South Africa's premiere sports betting platform, whether it’s the next One Day International at Wanderers or Nadal taking control on clay.
Geraint Crwys-Williams of Primedia, which is a partner in this venture, says “This is the first time the man in the street will be able to access a slick, easy-to-use sports betting service without worrying about anything except who to bet on!”

Odds are, you have strong views on the soccer. Make them pay!
