About us

About Casinex.co.za

We're a small, independent South African guide. We look closely at four betting sites, check their offers ourselves, and explain them in plain language.

What we do

Casinex.co.za compares four sites for South African players: BetNeptune, AceLucky, LekkerBets and Africa Sports. For each one we check the welcome offers for South Africa in rand, the size of the game lobby, how you pay in rand, who operates the site and what support is available. Then we write it up so you can choose quickly.

We also explain what happened to Casinex, the casino at casinex.com that became Africa Sports, because plenty of people still search for it.

What we are not

  • We are not a betting site. We don't take bets, hold money or open accounts.
  • We are not the old Casinex casino, and we are not Africa Sports. Our name is a nod to the story we explain, nothing more.
  • We are not the operator of any site we feature, and we can't see or change anyone's account. For account help, contact the site you play at.

How we check

Every fact on this site comes from the betting sites themselves or from a public regulator, checked on 26 Sep 2026. In practice that means:

  1. We load each site's promotions set to South Africa and rand, and quote the welcome offer exactly, with the date and time we checked.
  2. We read the bonus terms and point out anything that could catch you out.
  3. We look at the game list each site serves to a South African visitor and count the titles, live tables and studios.
  4. We read each site's licence, payments, withdrawals and responsible gaming pages, and cross-check the operator on the UK Gambling Commission's public register.

We never invent amounts, percentages, free-spin counts or licence details, and we don't copy text from other review sites. If a site doesn't show an offer for South Africa, we say "Check live offer (checked 26 Sep 2026)" instead of guessing.

How we earn money

We may earn a commission if you sign up at a site through our links. It costs you nothing and doesn't change the offer you get. It helps pay for the time we spend checking offers.

All four sites we feature work with us in this way, and we choose the order of our "Featured this month" list. Being featured doesn't buy a good review: we still point out the weak spots, like small print that doesn't match a headline, or a smaller game lobby.

Who runs the sites we feature

BetNeptune, AceLucky, LekkerBets and Africa Sports all state that they are operated by ProgressPlay Limited, a company registered in Malta. ProgressPlay is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority and, for Great Britain, by the UK Gambling Commission. None of the four claims a licence from a South African provincial gambling board, and we don't suggest otherwise. It's your responsibility to make sure online gambling is allowed where you live.

Keep it safe

We only feature sites for adults aged 18 and over. If gambling stops being fun, call the National Responsible Gambling Programme free on 0800 006 008, visit BeGambleAware.org, or read our responsible gambling guide.
