Thinking about betting on rugby, cricket or soccer but not sure where to begin? You’re in the right place. This guide shows exactly what you need to do to get on World Sports Betting (WSB) and place that first wager. No fluff, just the actions that work.
The very first thing you’ll do is create an account. Grab a computer or phone, head to the official WSB site, and click the "Register" button. You’ll be asked for a few basic details – name, email, phone number and a password you can remember. Make the password strong: mix letters, numbers and a symbol.
Because WSB operates in South Africa, they require FICA verification. That means you’ll need a copy of your ID and a proof‑of‑address document (like a utility bill). Upload the files in the verification section and wait a few minutes for the system to approve you. Most users get the green light within an hour, but if it takes longer, just check the email for any missing info.
Once verified, you’ll receive a confirmation email. Click the link inside to finish the sign‑up. That’s it – your account is ready for the next step.
Now that you’re logged in, you need money in the account. Go to the "Deposit" page, choose a payment method you like (bank transfer, credit card, or e‑wallet), and enter the amount you’re comfortable betting with. WSB usually offers a welcome bonus, so keep an eye on the promo code field and apply any bonus you qualify for.
With funds in place, head to the sports menu. Pick a sport you know – for South African punters, rugby and cricket are popular choices – then choose a match and the market you want (winner, over/under, etc.). The odds will be displayed next to each option. Click the odds, enter your stake, and hit "Place Bet". You’ll see a confirmation screen with your potential payout; if everything looks good, confirm the bet.
Remember to bet responsibly. Set a budget before you start and stick to it. WSB offers tools like deposit limits and self‑exclusion if you ever need a break. Using those features keeps the experience fun and safe.
That’s the whole process – register, verify, deposit, pick a game, and place a bet. It only takes a few minutes, and you’ll be watching the live action with a real stake in the outcome.
Got questions after you’ve tried it? The WSB support team is reachable via live chat, email, or phone. Have your account number handy and they’ll help you sort out any hiccups fast.
Now you know exactly how to start WSB. Give it a go, enjoy the games, and may your first bet be a lucky one!
