AfricaSports review for South Africa

AfricaSports is the site Casinex became. It's sport-led, built for African punters, and brings the whole Casinex casino along for the ride. Old Casinex accounts and logins moved across.

What stands out

  • Former Casinex players: accounts, balances and logins were moved across.
  • Football, rugby, cricket and basketball fans who want a sportsbook built for Africa.
  • A sports free bet triggered by a minimum R200 deposit, not a qualifying bet.
  • A full casino behind the sportsbook: 4,281 titles and 116 live tables.

Watch out for

  • The casino welcome has no free spins, just a 25% match up to R1,000.
  • The newest site of the four (founded 2025), so it has less history under this name.
  • Skrill and Neteller deposits are excluded from the welcome offers.
  • Licensed in Malta and Great Britain via ProgressPlay, not by a South African province.

From Casinex to AfricaSports

AfricaSports didn't come out of nowhere. The official Casinex blog announced in November 2025 that Casinex.com had "officially completed its rebrand to AfricaSports.com", shifting from a casino-led brand to a sports-focused site for the African market. Typing casinex.com takes you straight to www.africasports.com.

The same post says every Casinex account, balance and piece of data was migrated, and that old Casinex details work on AfricaSports. AfricaSports' own About page says it was founded in 2025. Our dedicated page, Casinex is now AfricaSports, has the full story and sources.

The sportsbook

AfricaSports describes itself as the place to "Bet on football, basketball, rugby, cricket and more … pre-match and live sports betting with competitive odds, plus casino games". The sportsbook is the default lobby. The Casinex rebrand post adds local leagues and international events to that list, and the network's "ACCA SUPER BOOST" and "Bet Builder" were both listed in the sports promotions.

The South African sports welcome reads "Deposit Min. R200 and Get R200 Free Bet". The terms describe a R200 free bet triggered by a deposit of at least R200: a one-time stake at minimum odds of 1.5, stake not returned, winnings wagered once, a R4,000 maximum conversion, valid for 7 days.

The casino is still here

Sport leads, but the casino Casinex players knew hasn't gone anywhere. On 26 Sep 2026 AfricaSports loaded 4,281 titles from 92 studios for a South African visitor: 3,630 slots, 132 jackpots, 51 digital table and card games and 116 live dealer tables. Top suppliers include Spinomenal, Red Tiger, Playtech, Pragmatic Play and Hacksaw Gaming, and live tables come mainly from Evolution and Playtech.

The casino welcome is "Welcome Bonus 25% up to R1,000". It's the plainest of the four: a 25% match on your first deposit up to R1,000, wagered 10 times within 30 days, with a maximum conversion of 1 times the bonus. There are no free spins attached, so there's no separate spins cap to worry about either.

Bingo, rewards and VIP

Bingo 75 and Bingo 90 are available alongside scratch cards and other casual games. The Rewards Programme, which AfricaSports advertises on its homepage, lets you earn points for playing and completing missions and swap them for free spins, deposit bonuses or cashback. The VIP scheme has five levels from Bronze to Diamond.

Rand payments listed

EFT by Swiffy is listed as "Instant ZAR" for South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria, with R15 to R1,000 per deposit and R20 to R1,000 per withdrawal. It covers local debit cards, Instant EFT and credit cards from major banks. Withdrawals by Swiffy show 1 business day to process and 3 business days to transfer. See our payments guide.

Support and safety

Support runs 24/7 on live chat and email. Limits on deposits, wagers and losses, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion are built in and apply network-wide. africasports.com appears as a white-label domain on the UK Gambling Commission's register for ProgressPlay Limited, where www.casinex.com is now listed as inactive.

Our verdict

AfricaSports is where Casinex went. The welcome offers are simple, the casino is as big as BetNeptune's, and it runs on the same long-established platform as the other three, though it's the newest name here.
