Tap the “Deposit” button on the Betway homepage to open the cashier section where all payment options are listed.

Zapper Deposit Limits & Fees
Deposit limits and fees are set by each sportsbook and your bank — not just Zapper. Here’s what South African punters should know before topping up their betting accounts using Zapper.
Minimum Deposit Amounts
Most SA sportsbooks set their own minimum Zapper deposit (often similar to card or EFT). Always check the cashier screen — the minimum can differ between Betway, WSB, Supabets and others.
Maximum Deposit Limits
Your maximum deposit is usually capped by the sportsbook and your linked card/bank. High-rollers should confirm both the site limit and their daily bank/card limit.
Zapper Fees
In most cases, sportsbooks don’t charge extra fees for Zapper deposits. Standard bank or card charges may still apply, depending on your provider.
Processing Time
Zapper deposits are typically instant once approved in the app. If it’s busy (match days, big events), give it a minute before refreshing your betting balance.
Currency & Region
Zapper deposits at SA sportsbooks are processed in South African Rand (ZAR). Make sure your card or account is set up to pay in ZAR to avoid extra conversion costs.
Set Your Own Limits
Even if the sportsbook and Zapper allow higher amounts, set a personal cap that suits your budget. Consider using site deposit limits and self-imposed rules to stay in control.
🔍 Probets reminder: Always double-check the min/max Zapper amounts shown in the sportsbook cashier before confirming a deposit, as limits and rules can change over time.
