Fafabet Review

Bonuses and Promotions

SA players love bonuses and promotions and are always looking for the latest free spin offers and bonuses. When Fafabet first opened its doors to players, it understood the importance of offering exciting bonuses and promotions to its players. As the months have progressed, the casino’s bonus offering and sportsbook specials have improved considerably. At the time of writing, there are plenty of enticing offers for all SA players, ranging from welcome bonuses to weekend specials and even a rewards program.

Welcome Bonus

Fafabet has two exclusive welcome bonuses for new SA players, and players should read the terms carefully before choosing which welcome bonus offer to activate.

• Casino Bonus – First Day Stake 25% Return up to R2000: New players who create an account, make a minimum deposit of R25, and stake the amount on casino games can claim a 25% return up to R2000 as a welcome bonus offer at Fafabet.
• Sports Bonus – Welcome Offer up to 150% as a free bet: The minimum deposit to claim the sports welcome offer is R25. The sports welcome bonus is a sports free bet, and players can earn up to 150% free bet on their initial deposit.

Other Promotions

• Refer-a-friend: Active Fafabet SA players can earn an R50 free bet for every new friend referral they bring into the casino and sportsbook. Email Fafabet with your account ID and friends ID to claim your free bet. The free bet has 5x wagering requirements and a minimum odds of 2.0 (1/1).
• Daily free bet: Every day is a winning day at Fafabet, and ten players stand a chance to win an R1000 free bet should they get lucky in the randomized draw. To enter the daily draw, players must place a 3+ leg multi-sport bet with a minimum wager of R50.
• One leg out: The agony of missing an acca because of one dreaded leg is a pain we have all endured while placing sports bets. Thankfully, Fafabet are here to soften the blow of a one leg loss, and players who place an R20 soccer bet with a minimum of 5 legs can get a refund of their stake up to R1000, should they suffer the dreaded one leg loss pain.
• Weekend Bonanza: Every weekend is a chance to win a free bet by proving you’re a good sports bettor. Players who place sports bets are entered into a leaderboard every weekend, and at the end of the weekend, the top 5 leaderboard players earn a free bet. The stake amount and the total odds of player bets determine leaderboard points.
