WSB Review

World Sports Betting online is one of the country’s most complete bookmakers. It suits customers looking for big bonuses and promotions, and those wanting competitive odds across a range of markets.

An update to the platform wouldn’t go amiss and we hope to see a native WSB mobile app in the future, but other than that, it ticks every box. We thoroughly enjoyed researching this WSB review, and we believe you’ll like it here, too. 

No World Sports Betting review would be complete without looking at the odds. It’s fair to say that punters can expect competitive prices when betting here.

If soccer betting is your passion, then WSB commands a closer look. It offers thousands of fixtures from countries all over the world. The most popular leagues headline the show such as the Champions League, EPL, Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga, but they are ably supported by the South Africa Premier League, MLS, J-League and the SPL to name a few.

Market depth is good overall. Top flight games serve up around 90 separate markets including match winner, O/U goals, Asian and European handicaps, first team to score, BTTS, HT/FT, halves, corners and many more. As you drop down the divisions, the choice of betting options does lessen with many other matches boasting between 20 and 60 markets, which is still respectable and on par with other leading bookmakers.

When viewing individual pre-match fixtures, data from Sportradar loads on the page highlighting recent form, home/away goals per game, average number of goals in previous H2H meetings, probability on handicap bets and numerous other stats and pointers. Also, if you like to pool bet, WSB has Soccer 4 and Soccer 6 for you, and keep an eye out for WSB Boosters which offer enhanced odds on selected fixtures.

WSB delights horse racing punters with all local races and plenty of action from overseas as well. When you open a race card, you’ll see some basic information like the jockey, trainer, age and weight. However, you can click to download the PDF form guide which is far more in-depth.

The betting options include win and place on all races. There is South Africa tote betting available, with a variety of pools like swinger, jackpot, place accumulator, pick 3, pick 6, double, exacta, trifacta and quartet. Plus you have the Bookies SP Pot and BiPot, too. International races also enjoy several tote betting pools but the range is not as full as the local selection.

An area in which WSB stands out is that it offers live video streaming for a lot of its races. Not many other online bookmakers provide this so it’s certainly a feather in the cap. You need to be logged in and have a bet on the race to view the stream.

Soccer, rugby, cricket, American football, basketball, tennis and esports are just a few of the sports you can bet on in-play at WSB. 

You got a good selection of markets to choose from for most games, so finding a bet is easy. Remember to make use of the Sportradar live score centre to check out the stats first. The in-play betting platform has a cool match animation console built in which helps you follow the action. However, the main feature of WSB is its live streaming service. It streams hundreds of matches live each week through WSB TV, covering sports such as soccer, cricket, table tennis, handball, basketball, tennis and American football. This gives punters much better value for money as it is a complete sports entertainment platform all-in-one.

There’s nothing exceptional about the design of WSB’s website but it does the job that’s required of it. Even for total beginners, a quick scan through the homepage will clearly highlight where everything is. The main head menu (when viewing from a desktop) offers sports, in-play, racing, numbers and mobi. You then have a series of quick links to featured events running down the left and below them a complete index of the various sports categories you can bet on.

Each sports page has a few filters so it is easy to track down the match or league you’re interested in and overall navigation is very simple. A sign that the platform is a touch dated is that all of the prices are shown in fractional form. This isn’t really a major problem but it would be better if it used decimal like the majority of the other operators now do. 

All punters are looking for an edge to beat the bookie and the statistics and live score centre offered by World Sports Betting is the perfect place to start. This product is powered by Sportradar and it provides a wealth of data to help you make better betting choices. There are a range of sports covered such as soccer, tennis, basketball and esports, each with form guides, past results, H2H performances, fixtures and much more. The live score section is exactly what it says on the tin. Here you get in-game stats to use to your advantage. A highly recommended resource for all serious punters.

These are commonly known as lucky numbers at other South African bookmakers, but WSB has chosen to call them Pick A Number. It is fixed odds betting using popular lottery draws from home and around the world. You can bet on the South Africa Powerball, UK 49s, Euromillions, Japan Loto 6 and many others. There are multiple betting options such a pick 1 number, predict the bonus ball and cross doubles. A paytable is shown on each page so you can see how much you’ll win if you guess correctly.

WSB also offers the other popular lotto, Betgames. There are two games: Lucky 5 which is 5 from 36 and Lucky 7 which is 7 from 42. These draws are hosted by BetGames Africa and they run continuously all day. Like Pick a Number, there are several betting markets available, although the choice is not as comprehensive as some of the other betting sites provide. Furthermore, these are fixed odds, so it’s wise to check the payouts across a range of bookmakers to see where you can get the best odds. Our WSB review team checked a few of the bets to demonstrate:

Mobile punters don’t need to download a World Sports Betting mobile app because everything is completely web-based. Therefore, all you need to do is visit https://mobile.wsb.co.za/ using your regular web browser and you’re ready to go.

It’s a no-thrills design, but like the desktop interface, it performs its job.
