SuperSportBet Website Launches in South Africa

In a big move for the South African sports betting industry, Multichoice and SuperSport have entered the market with SuperSportBet. SuperSportBet is the newest sports betting platform available to South African punters. With SuperSport being one of the biggest sports broadcasters in the world, this creates a huge opportunity for South African sports enthusiasts to not only watch their favourite sports but also place bets on those sports.

Sports betting has now surpassed lotteries as the biggest gambling market in South Africa. Considering the market's growth, the decision for SuperSport to enter the South African sports betting market comes as no surprise. The new platform is licensed under the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board.

SuperSportBet alongside SuperSport

Multichoice aims to provide a wide range of betting options, covering all the sports they broadcast on the SuperSport channels and more. The launch of the SuperSpotBet platform earlier in November 2023 brings a user-friendly interface, cutting-edge technology, and a wide range of betting markets.

Adding a touch of flair to Multichoice's foray into the gambling scene, they plan to roll out an exciting payment platform, Moment. This nifty system aims to make transactions in South Africa a breeze. It's all about keeping things smooth and secure, with a focus on user ease. Whether depositing or cashing out, Moment will in the future help you deposit and withdraw on the SuperSportBet website. For any South African gearing up to dive into online sports betting, the choice of payment methods just got much more interesting.

Multichoice acquisition of KingMakers

Because of KingMakers' success in Nigeria's iGaming and sports betting arena—Multichoice stepped up its game by snagging a hefty 49% slice of KingMakers in 2022. This was a strategic move to give Multichoice instant access to the experience and technology needed to operate an online sports betting platform. Now, with KingMakers' track record in the sports betting world, it has given SuperSportBet a huge leap forward against its competitors in terms of technology and know-how.

Another overlooked advantage that SuperSportBET has is its ability to take the SuperSport limelight, thanks to Multichoice. The potential here is colossal. If SuperSportBET mirrors the vast array of sports broadcasted on SuperSport, it's a sports betting extravaganza waiting to unfold. From soccer fanatics to basketball enthusiasts, rugby fans and Esports supporters, there's a betting option for every sports fan. Get ready for a betting adventure tailored for everyone!

Even though it seems like SuperSportBet is set to be hugely successful, there are some who think otherwise:

“Multichoice will find a way to mess it up... Gambling is very competitive and cutthroat, neither market condition is something multichoice knows how to operate in.” said one user on the MyBroadband Forums.

Only time will tell, and we will keep a close eye on SuperSportBet going forward.
