22Bet has a huge collection of bonuses at any given time. Of course, these bonuses and promotions are updated frequently to keep players engaged and motivated. With so many promotions on offer, and 22Bet constantly adding new ones to the mix, we suggest that you subscribe to their email newsletter, especially if you are interested on capitalizing on profitable bonuses. This way, you will receive an email every time there is a new bonus that you can take advantage of. 

The bonuses at 22Bet can be sorted into three categories – the casino bonuses, shop bonuses and sportsbook related bonuses. In this review, we are going to dig into the various sportsbook bonuses available. 

The sportsbook bonuses are further split into two categories – the welcome bonus for new players and the other bonuses that can be claimed by new and existing players alike. 

Below is a list of the bonuses and how they work. Please note that the list below is only current at the time of writing and is subject to change with time. 

Welcome Bonus:

The welcome bonus at 22Bet is applicable for new players who make their first deposit. The way it works is simple. You register for an account, ensure that you account details are duly completed, make your first deposit and you will receive a 100% match deposit bonus up to a maximum of R2000. 

So, for example, if you make a first deposit of R1000, you will receive an additional R1000 as bonus. This leaves you with R2000 as balance in your 22Bet account, which you may use on sports betting. 

There are certain strings attached to this welcome bonus. Some of the important terms and conditions are as below:- 

In order to qualify for the welcome bonus, you need to make a first deposit of at least R20 or more

The maximum amount you can win from the welcome bonus is capped at R2000. 

The bonus is only given on your 1st deposit with 22Bet and not on any of the other consecutive deposits 

Once you make the first deposit, the bonus amount is automatically credited to your account 

The bonus cannot be transferred between accounts

The bonus has a wagering requirement of 5x the bonus amount. Accumulator bets are counted towards the wagering requirement, and only if the accumulator bet has at least three selections, each at odds of 1.40 or higher. 

The wagering requirement must be met within 7 days, or else the bonus is considered void. 

Other Promotions

Welcome bonus aside, there are 4 other promotions currently running at 22Bet for the sports betting side of things. These bonuses are available for both and new members. The 4 regular promotions currently underway at 22Bet are:

Friday Reload Sportsbook Bonus:

Thank god it is Friday! Not just because the weekend is around the corner, but because 22Bet offers you a reload bonus on Fridays which is hard to say no to. If you are looking to top up your balance at the 22Bet sportsbook, we suggest that you top up on a Friday because it attracts the reload bonus. Make a deposit on Friday and you will receive a 100% match bonus up to a maximum of R1700. This bonus is only applicable to the first deposit on a Friday. The bonus wagering requirement of 3x must be met within 24 hours of the bonus being issued. Only accumulator bets with at least 3 selections, each at odds of 1.40 or over are counted towards the wagering requirement. 

Bonus for a Series of Losing Bets:

22Bet sportsbook understands that these are tough and uncertain times for South African punters. With the pandemic hitting the economy hard, 22Bet lends out a helping hand to their members with a bonus for a series of losing bets. If you’ve had some rough days at the 22sportsbook and lady luck doesn’t seem to side with you, at least there is a silver lining to this dark cloud in the form of a bonus. For a series of 20 losing bets, you will get 3000 bonus points for bets of at least $2, 6000 bonus points for bets of at least $5 and 10000 bonus points for bets of at least $10. At 22Bet, it’s not all doom and gloom even if you are losing. 

Weekly Rebate Bonus:

The more you play at 22Bet sportsbook, the more rebate you will earn each week. Receive a weekly cash rebate of 0.3% on your sports bets. Each week, 22Bet will calculate the total amount that you have spent on bets throughout the course of the last week and the rebate percentage of 0.03% is applied to that amount. The minimum rebate amount is R15 and the maximum rebate amount you may receive is limited to R15,000. The rebate is automatically credited to your account every Tuesday. 

Accumulator of the Day:

To strike gold when playing accumulator bets takes a certain amount of knowledge and insight of the sport. To make multiple selections and get them right is not just about luck, you need to have good knowledge of the legs, the sport, recent form and much more. At 22Bet, some proven experts handpick accumulators with a good balance between odds and potential payout. These accumulators are offered for you to just pick and bet on.

The number displayed in brackets within this button is an indication of how many live events are currently available to bet on.

The live betting events are updated every few seconds to give punters that latest scores and timelines.

Casino

In fact, there are plenty of bonuses exclusively available for the casino, which is separate and distinct from the sportsbook bonuses. 

22Bet sportsbook is a pretty tough competitor. They offer competitive odds which are on par, and even better than what you may find at some of the leading, global online sportsbook providers. What we love is that 22Bet offers a standard offering of 95% pay out on the W-D-W and totals. This is especially advantageous for players who like betting on secondary markets such as basketball, tennis, and some lesser known football leagues like the 2nd division leagues.

If you are wondering what kind of odds you are going to be offered, we can put 22Bet somewhere in between the likes of 1XBet and Bwin. While we are talking about the odds, it would be apt to highlight the Betslip sale feature available at 22Bet. If you’ve placed and confirmed a bet, but suddenly get cold feet, you actually have the option of selling your bet to another player.
