Betway Plinko facts: six games, six studios, two licences
Playtech and Betgames share Betway’s lowest Plinko stake, while Turbo Games sits at the other end of the range. The sports-betting account gives you access to Quick Games, with Plinko grouped in its own tab.

This is Betway’s South African account, with a local phone-number login, FICA and rand stakes on the game tiles. Players choosing an operator for the UK, Canada, Australia or India can compare operators by their own country.
Betway South AfricaBookmaker · Quick Games → PlinkoBetway groups Plinko by game and studio inside Quick Games. The same account handles the sign-in and cashier, with FICA documentation linked to the account holder.
Betway combines a bookmaker account with a dedicated Plinko tab; South African Plinko operators offer other combinations of games, provincial licences and rand payments.
The Plinko tab in Betway Quick Games, game by game
The Plinko tab holds eight tiles: the six games below plus two Split the Pot tiles, a Plinko tile from R1.00 and Soccer Mania. Mega Fire Blaze Plinko and Betway Goalinnko carry the Betway Exclusive badge. Use the game name and studio together when choosing: Betgames’ Plinko, SmartSoft Gaming’s PlinkoX and Plinko Go from 1x2 Network ZA each have their own tile and entry stake.
Lowest stake per tile
Playtech and Betgames have matching minimums; SmartSoft Gaming and Ruby Play share the next entry point. Plinko Go and Turbo Plinko each start higher, so the name you select changes how much a minimum-stake round costs.
| Game | Studio | From |
|---|---|---|
| Mega Fire Blaze Plinko | Playtech (Betway Exclusive) | R0.20 |
| Plinko | Betgames | R0.20 |
| PlinkoX | SmartSoft Gaming | R0.50 |
| Betway Goalinnko | Ruby Play (Betway Exclusive) | R0.50 |
| Plinko Go | 1x2 Network ZA | R1.20 |
| Turbo Plinko | Turbo Games | R1.50 |
Getting there
Quick Games is the route to the dedicated Plinko tab on desktop and mobile. The Play control belongs to the chosen tile, so select the studio’s game before signing in for real-money play.
Open Quick Games
Choose Quick Games in Betway’s navigation to enter the game lobby.
Select Plinko
Open the Plinko tab within Quick Games to reach the game tiles.
Choose the game tile
Match the game name with its studio and the rand stake shown beneath it.
Press Play and log in
Use your Betway phone number and password to access real-money play.
Next to Plinko in Quick Games
Tap Games, Virtuals, Arcade Games and Wheel Games sit alongside Plinko in Quick Games; Quick Picks includes The Chicken Game and Soccer Striker. PlinkoX also appears among those Quick Picks, while Mega Fire Blaze Plinko appears in the Exclusives row, giving those titles another route from the wider lobby.
Plinko demos let you practise without a cash stake, while Plinko’s round controls determine how you set up a drop. Studio-specific games are grouped in the Plinko games catalogue.
Betway login by phone number, password reset with your ID, FICA
Your phone number opens the account; recovering a forgotten password uses your ID number and a face check. Betway’s login carries the +27 country code and takes your mobile number with your password. Sign Up creates the account, and Betway allows only one account per person.
Choose Sign Up for a new account
The Sign Up form opens over the Quick Games lobby.
Use Login when returning
Enter your registered mobile number and password, then open Quick Games and the Plinko tab.
Recover a forgotten password
Select Forgot password from Login, enter your ID number and choose Reset password.
Complete the identity check
Consent to data processing, complete the liveness face check and set your new password.
FICA: ID and proof of address
FICA requires your identity document and proof of address. When automatic ID verification at registration does not succeed, send a copy of your ID to Betway’s FICA email; proof of address is normally requested at withdrawal. Additional FICA verification can also form part of a cash-out.
| Document | When | How |
|---|---|---|
| ID | At registration if automatic verification does not succeed | Email a copy to fica@betway.co.za; verification takes up to 24 working hours |
| Proof of address | Usually when withdrawing | Supply it when Betway requests it |
Keeping the account and bank details in your own name also meets Betway’s rule on who can receive a payout.
The sign-up Welcome Pack
The sign-up Welcome Pack contains 10 Free Flights on Aviator, 10 Bonus Spins on 12 Masks of Fire Drums and an R10 Extra Bet on sports games. None of these coupons is for Plinko: the flights belong to Aviator, the spins to the named slot and the Extra Bet to sports.
Plinko account access includes registration and verification as well as sign-in; bonus eligibility depends on the game, and Betway’s Welcome Pack assigns its coupons to other products.
Betway on your phone: App Store listing, APK and AppGallery
iPhone users install through the South African App Store, while Android users download an installation file from Betway’s app page. Huawei AppGallery is another download route. The iOS app is named “Betway - Sports Betting”, with Raging River Trading (Pty) Ltd as its seller.
| Platform | Where to get it | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| iOS | App Store ZA: Betway - Sports Betting | Version 11.4.3; updated ; 31,720,448 bytes (30 MiB); iOS 13.0+; store age rating 17+; seller RAGING RIVER TRADING (PTY) LTD |
| Android | APK from the Betway App page | Download the app file (.apk), then follow the installation prompt |
| Huawei | Huawei AppGallery through the Betway App page | AppGallery download button on the app page and in Betway’s footer |
For Android, open the downloaded APK and follow the installation prompt; the installed app then appears on your device’s home screen. Betway’s footer also offers Apple, Android and Huawei download icons, with a QR code to start the download on a phone.
How to tell the official app
Raging River Trading is both the App Store seller and Betway’s Western Cape licensee, giving the iPhone download a company name to match. For Android, use the APK route on Betway’s own app page. Matching the seller and download origin matters when avoiding fake Plinko apps.
Official bookmaker app downloads use the operator’s own routes, and mobile Plinko operators can be compared by their phone access options.
Paying in and out at Betway: i-Pay, SiD, OTT and the EFT windows
Deposits offer bank transfers, cards and an OTT voucher, while withdrawals go to a bank account held by the Betway account owner. i-Pay and SiD provide instant bank-transfer routes; ordinary EFT has scheduled allocation windows. A voucher is a way to fund the account, with the bank-account ownership rule still applying when you withdraw.
| Method | Deposit route |
|---|---|
| i-Pay | Instant bank transfer |
| SiD | Instant bank transfer |
| Visa / MasterCard | Card deposit |
| OTT Voucher | Voucher deposit |
| EFT | FNB, ABSA, Standard Bank and Nedbank; credited during allocation windows |
| Withdrawal rule | What applies |
|---|---|
| Receiving account | A bank account in the Betway account holder’s name |
| Third-party accounts | Betway does not pay withdrawals to someone else’s account |
| Verification | Additional FICA verification can be required before payment |
EFT allocation windows
Ordinary EFT deposits are allocated in scheduled runs, which makes the time of transfer relevant to when the balance becomes available. If a deposit has not appeared, send Betway your payment confirmation through its support channels.
| EFT allocation run | Window |
|---|---|
| Morning | 09:00–10:00 |
| Early afternoon | 13:00–14:00 |
| Late afternoon | 17:00–18:00 |
| Evening | 20:00–21:00 |
How long a withdrawal takes
Betway’s FAQ gives the usual cash-out period and a longer period in its bank-statement process.
| Withdrawal circumstances | Processing period |
|---|---|
| Usual withdrawal | 1–2 business days |
| Bank statement requested | 2–5 business days |
A cash-out needs a bank account in your name and completion of any requested verification; Plinko withdrawal times depend on the processing route as well as the documents required.

Lowest Plinko stakes: Betway, YesPlay and LottoStar
Betway’s lowest Plinko tiles sit between YesPlay’s Triple Pot Plinko – Hercules and BetGames Plinko on entry cost. LottoStar’s Turbo Plinko starts higher than either of Betway’s lowest-stake games. The game identity matters in this comparison: YesPlay’s lowest entry is Hercules, while the lowest Betway pair is Mega Fire Blaze Plinko and Betgames’ Plinko.
| Brand | Licence | Plinko game | Lowest stake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Betway | Mpumalanga 9-2-1-09658; Western Cape 10181496-012 | Mega Fire Blaze Plinko; Plinko (Betgames) | R0.20 |
| YesPlay | Western Cape 10180204-013 | Triple Pot Plinko – Hercules; BetGames Plinko | R0.10; R0.30 respectively |
| LottoStar | Mpumalanga 9-2-1-09467 | Turbo Plinko | R1 |
Hollywoodbets holds licences across five provinces and has Split The Pot Plinko and PlinkoX; Supabets has four Plinko titles, while 10bet places Plinko in Instant Thrills.
YesPlay and LottoStar offer different games at their entry stakes, so choose the title as well as the price; South Africa’s Plinko operators also differ in payment options and provincial licensing.
Two licences, two companies: how Betway is regulated in South Africa
Eastern Dawn Sports holds Betway’s Mpumalanga bookmaker licence, and Raging River Trading holds its Western Cape licence. Each company has its own registration number and provincial regulator.
| Company | Board | Licence | Issued |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eastern Dawn Sports (Pty) Ltd Registration 2021/915692/07 | Mpumalanga Economic Regulator | 9-2-1-09658 | |
| Raging River Trading (Pty) Ltd Registration 2011/134505/07 | Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board | 10181496-012 |
“Both entities are licensed to promote Betway South Africa by the respective provincial licensing authorities.”
Betway South Africa
On , the Supreme Court of Appeal held in Portapa v Casino Association of South Africa, [2025] ZASCA 158 that fixed-odds bets on casino-game outcomes are unlawful under the Gauteng Gambling Act. On , the National Gambling Board took the position that the ruling applies nationwide, as reported by Daily News (IOL). Betway’s licences are in Mpumalanga and the Western Cape; Plinko regulation and South African gambling law involve these provincial licences and the court and board positions.
