📋 Registration Requirements Checklist

• Age: You must be 18 years or older — verified using your SA ID number
• SA ID Document: South African ID book, Smart ID card, passport, or asylum document
• Mobile Phone: A working South African cellphone number for SMS verification
• Email Address: A valid email you have access to (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.)
• Username: Choose something unique — you’ll use this or your email to log in
• Password: At least 8 characters with a mix of letters and numbers

For FICA (needed before withdrawals): You’ll also need proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, or municipal account not older than 3 months) and proof of your bank account. We cover this in the FICA section below.

⚠️ Important: One Account Per Person

Betshezi only allows one account per person, per household, and per IP address. Creating multiple accounts violates their terms and will result in all accounts being suspended and any winnings forfeited. If you’ve lost access to an existing account, use the password recovery process instead of registering again.

Step 1: Go to the Betshezi Website

Open your browser and visit betshezi.com. Make sure you’re on the official site — check for betshezi.com in the address bar to avoid phishing sites. You can also register directly through the Betshezi Android app if you’ve already downloaded it.

Step 2: Tap the Register Button

Look for the yellow “Register” button in the top-right corner of the homepage. On mobile, it may also appear as “Join” or “Sign Up” depending on the page you’re on. Tap it to open the registration form.

Step 3: Enter Your Login Credentials

Choose a unique username and create a secure password (at least 8 characters). Your username is permanent and cannot be changed later, so pick something you’ll remember. If your chosen username is taken, try adding numbers — for example, ThembaZA99 or SiphoSA2026.

Step 4: Fill in Your Personal Details

Complete the form with your full legal name (exactly as it appears on your South African ID), surname, cellphone number, date of birth, gender, source of income, and email address. Double-check your name spelling — mismatches between your registration details and your ID will cause FICA verification to fail later.

Step 5: Verify Your Phone via SMS

Betshezi will send a one-time verification code (OTP) to the cellphone number you provided. Enter this code in the verification field. The SMS usually arrives within 30 seconds on MTN, Vodacom, Cell C, and Telkom. If you don’t receive it after 2 minutes, tap “Resend Code” — you can request up to 3 codes.

Step 6: Accept Terms & Complete Registration

Tick the checkbox to accept Betshezi’s terms and conditions, then tap the yellow “Register” button to submit. Your account is now created, and you’ll be redirected to your new account dashboard. After sign up, login is immediate — you can use your new username and password to access Betshezi’s casino, sportsbook, and live games from any device in South Africa.

✅ Account Created — What Happens Next?

Once you’ve signed up, you can place bets and play casino games immediately using deposited funds. The Betshezi sign up bonus includes a R50 free bet with no deposit required — this is credited automatically after FICA verification. You can also claim the deposit match welcome bonus of up to R10,000. However, you cannot withdraw winnings until FICA verification is complete. We strongly recommend uploading your documents straight away to avoid delays — see the FICA section below.

📋 Documents Required for FICA

• Proof of Identity: Clear photo or scan of your SA ID book, Smart ID card, passport, or asylum document
• Proof of Address: Recent document (less than 3 months old) showing your name and residential address — utility bill, bank statement, or municipal account
• Proof of Bank Account: Bank statement header or screenshot from banking app showing your name and account number

Accepted file formats: JPG, PNG, or PDF. Maximum file size is 5MB per document. On mobile, you can photograph each document directly using your phone camera.

✅ FICA Tip: Upload Immediately After Sign Up

The number one reason new players experience withdrawal delays is waiting to submit FICA documents. Complete verification straight after creating your account so you’re already approved when it’s time to cash out. Navigate to My Account → Verification and upload your documents there.

“Username Already Taken”

Someone else has already registered with that username. Try adding numbers or underscores to make it unique — for example, YourName_123 or YourNameSA. Betshezi usernames are permanent, so choose carefully.

“Invalid ID Number”

Double-check your 13-digit SA ID number for typos. The system validates the number format automatically. If you’re using a passport or asylum document instead, make sure you’ve selected the correct document type in the dropdown.

SMS Verification Code Not Arriving

Wait at least 2 minutes before requesting a new code — network delays are common on Telkom and Cell C. Check that you entered the correct cellphone number (no leading zero issues). If the code still doesn’t arrive after 3 attempts, try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data or contact Betshezi support via WhatsApp at 074 588 8552.

“Account Already Exists”

This means your ID number or email address is already linked to an existing Betshezi account. You cannot create a second account. Instead, recover access to your existing account using the Betshezi login guide — it covers password resets and username recovery.

Page Loading Slowly or Timing Out

Betshezi works best on 4G/LTE connections. If you’re in an area with weak 3G signal, switch to Wi-Fi. You can also try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser. Disable any VPN — it can interfere with Betshezi’s security systems and block the registration form from loading.

How long does Betshezi registration take?

The registration form itself takes 2–3 minutes to complete. FICA document verification adds another 24 hours on average. You can deposit and play immediately after registration, but withdrawals require FICA approval.

For basic registration, you only need your SA ID number, cellphone number, and email address. For FICA verification (required before withdrawals), you’ll also need to upload your ID document, proof of address (not older than 3 months), and proof of bank account.

Do I need a promo code to register at Betshezi?

No promo code is required to create your account. The R50 free bet bonus activates automatically after registration and FICA verification. However, you can enter the promo code NEWBONUS during sign up to claim the 100% deposit match bonus up to R2,500 per deposit. For all active codes, check our Betshezi bonus codes guide, or see the full Betshezi welcome bonus breakdown.

What is the Betshezi sign up bonus no deposit?

Betshezi offers a R50 free sports bet as a no deposit sign up bonus for all new players. You receive this automatically after creating your account and completing FICA verification — no deposit is required to claim it. The free bet must be placed as a single bet at minimum odds of 2.00 (1/1), with a maximum payout of R25. It expires within 7 days if unused. You also qualify for a separate deposit match welcome bonus when you make your first payment of R100 or more.

Can I have more than one Betshezi account?

No. Betshezi strictly enforces a one-account policy per person, household, and IP address. Attempting to create duplicate accounts will result in all accounts being suspended and any winnings forfeited. If you’ve lost access to your account, use the password reset feature or contact support.

What is the minimum deposit after signing up?

The minimum deposit is R10 via Ozow Instant EFT or R50 via other payment methods like credit card, bank transfer, or vouchers. To qualify for the welcome bonus, you need to deposit at least R100.
