🎲 What Is BetGames?
BetGames is a Lithuanian game studio that streams live dealer betting games 24 hours a day, and it supplies those games to betting sites rather than running a casino of its own. The company launched on 6 January 2012 with its first Lucky 7 draw and now lists 49 products, from card and dice draws to slots and a crash game.
The distinction matters for South African players: you never open an account with BetGames. You open an account with a licensed SA bookmaker such as Lulabet or Gbets, and the BetGames titles appear inside that operator lobby, usually under a tab labelled Bet Games, Live Games or Instant Games.
🎥 What makes a Bet Games title different from a normal casino game
- You bet on an outcome, you do not play a hand. In Lucky 7 the host draws a ball from a machine and you back a colour, a number range or an odd or even result. There is no strategy decision after the bet is placed.
- Draws run on a fixed clock. Rounds repeat every few minutes whether anyone is betting or not, which is why the games sit naturally next to a sportsbook rather than a slots lobby.
- One studio feed, many operators. Every site carrying BetGames watches the same draw at the same moment, so a Lucky 7 result at Betshezi is identical to the Lucky 7 result at Topbet.
- Sports-style bet slips. Odds are displayed the way a bookmaker displays them, and multi-bets across rounds are supported through the combination feature BetGames added in 2018.

✅ Is BetGames Licensed in South Africa?
Yes. BetGames states on its own corporate site that it is licensed and certified across regulated markets including the UK, Malta, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Italy, Bulgaria and South Africa. That supplier-side certification is what allows SA-licensed bookmakers to offer the games legally.
✅ How the licensing actually stacks up
Two separate approvals are involved and both must exist. BetGames holds supplier certification for the South African market, and the site you play at holds its own bookmaker or casino licence from a provincial board such as the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board or the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator. If a site offers BetGames without a provincial licence, the problem is the site, not the games.
This is also why BetGames titles show up on bookmaker platforms far more often than on pure casino platforms in South Africa. Of the 26 SA sites iBets reviews, the 14 that carry BetGames are overwhelmingly sportsbook-led operators, which matches the studio position as a bridge between sports betting and casino play.
🎰 Every BetGames Game in 2026
BetGames lists 49 products as of 29 July 2026. Nineteen are live or instant betting games, and the rest are slots and crash titles added since the studio widened its portfolio in 2023. Not every operator carries the full set, and SA sites typically stock the core live draws first.
| Game | Type | Launched | How it plays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lucky 7 | Live ball draw | 2012 | Seven balls drawn from a machine. Bet on colour, odd or even, number ranges or exact matches. |

⚠️ Availability varies by operator
The 49-title figure is the studio catalogue, not what any one SA site stocks. Most South African operators carry between six and twelve BetGames titles, weighted towards Lucky 7, Lucky 6, Dice Duel and War of Bets. Check the operator lobby before assuming a specific game is available.
🇿🇦 Where to Play BetGames in South Africa
Fourteen of the 26 South African betting and casino sites iBets reviews carry BetGames. We counted this by hand across every review on 29 July 2026. The list below is that count, not a ranking, and every operator on it holds a South African provincial licence.

🧮 What the count tells you
BetGames sits on 54 percent of the SA sites we track. For comparison, Pragmatic Play sits on 23 of 26 and Evolution on 19 of 26. BetGames is therefore common but not universal, so if a specific Lucky 7 or Dice Duel table matters to you, confirm it is in the lobby before you deposit.
📺 How BetGames Live Draws and Results Work
BetGames draws run continuously, 24 hours a day, from a studio with a live host. The studio switched to round-the-clock operation in 2015. Every operator carrying a given game receives the same feed, so the result of a draw is identical across all 14 South African sites at the same moment.
Results are published inside the game client itself rather than on a public BetGames results page. Open the game at your operator and the recent-results strip sits along the top or side of the table, typically showing the last 10 to 20 rounds with the drawn balls, cards or dice. Statistics tabs inside the same client break results down by colour, range and frequency.
🔗 Finding results without an account
There is no public BetGames results feed for South Africa. Searches for betgames results or betgames live draw usually land on operator pages, because the history lives inside each operator lobby. Most SA sites let you open the game client and view the results strip before placing a bet, so you can check history without staking anything.

🎮 Can You Play BetGames in Demo Mode?
Not in the way slots demos work. BetGames live titles are streamed from a studio on a fixed clock, so there is no free-play version of Lucky 7 or Dice Duel that mirrors the real table. The public demo site BetGames runs is a business-to-business showcase aimed at operators, not a player free-play lobby.
🎮 What you can actually do for free
- Watch the live table before betting. At most SA operators you can open a BetGames title, watch the draw and read the results history without placing a stake.
- Read the paytable in the client. Each game carries a rules and odds panel, which is the most reliable place to check payouts because odds vary slightly by operator.
- Practise on the RNG variants. Instant Lucky 7 runs on demand rather than on the studio clock, so rounds are quicker and cheaper to sample at minimum stake.
- Use our game guides. Every rule, bet type and payout is written out in the 11 BetGames guides linked further down, so you can learn the game before funding an account.
If you specifically want free-play, the slots side of the SA market is a better fit. Our demo games library carries free versions of Pragmatic Play and Habanero titles that do run in practice mode.
🚀 Skyward: The BetGames Crash Game
Skyward is the BetGames crash game, launched in 2023 as the first title from the studio in that format. A multiplier climbs from 1.00x and you cash out before it breaks. It is the direct BetGames answer to Aviator, and several SA operators now carry both.
The practical difference for South African players is where you find it. Aviator sits in the crash or instant section at almost every SA site, while Skyward is usually filed inside the BetGames tab alongside Lucky 7 rather than with the other crash titles. If you cannot find Skyward, look under Bet Games rather than under Crash. We covered the comparison in our Aviator versus Skyward breakdown at Lulabet.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is BetGames?
BetGames is a Lithuanian game studio founded on 6 January 2012 that streams live dealer betting games 24 hours a day. It supplies those games to licensed bookmakers rather than operating its own casino, so South African players access BetGames titles through an SA-licensed site such as Betshezi or Topbet.
Is BetGames legal in South Africa?
Yes. BetGames states that it holds licences and certifications across regulated markets including South Africa. The site you actually bet at must separately hold a South African provincial licence. All 14 operators listed on this page do.
Which South African betting sites have BetGames?
Fourteen of the 26 SA sites we review carry BetGames as of 29 July 2026: Playabets, FirstBet, Playbet, Betolimp, Lulabet, Goldrush, Gbets, Topbet, Betshezi, YesPlay, Tic Tac Bets, Play.co.za, Jabula Bets and Easybet.
Can I play BetGames for free?
There is no player-facing free-play version of the live BetGames tables, because the draws are streamed from a studio on a fixed clock. You can open a game and watch the draw and results history without staking. The demo site BetGames publishes is a business showcase for operators, not a player demo.
Where do I find BetGames results?
Inside the game client at your operator. Each BetGames title shows a recent-results strip covering the last 10 to 20 rounds, plus a statistics tab. There is no public BetGames results page for South Africa, which is why searches for betgames results return operator pages.
What is the difference between Lucky 7 and Lucky 6?
Lucky 7 draws seven balls and is the original BetGames title from 2012. Lucky 6 launched in 2017, draws six balls from a 48-ball machine and adds total-based betting. Full rules for both are in our Lucky 7 guide and Lucky 6 guide.
