How Zapper Works

Zapper is a QR-based mobile payment solution that links directly to your debit/credit card, mobile wallet, or bank account. Instead of entering card or personal details online, Zapper lets you scan a QR code and approve payments instantly.

The technology uses encrypted tokenisation — meaning your real card number is never exposed to betting sites or merchants. Everything is handled securely inside the Zapper app.

Once linked, Zapper becomes one of the fastest and safest online deposit methods for South African bettors who prefer simplicity and privacy.

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.

Is Zapper Safe to Use?

Yes — Zapper is one of the safest payment tools in South Africa, trusted by retailers, restaurants, petrol stations, and now major sportsbooks. By using QR technology, Zapper keeps your card and banking details completely hidden from betting sites, reducing your risk and improving your privacy.

🛡️

Your Banking Details Stay Private

When you deposit with Zapper, the sportsbook never sees your card or bank info. Everything runs securely inside the Zapper app.

🔐

Bank-Level Encryption

Every transaction uses advanced encryption and tokenisation, meaning your payment data is protected end-to-end.

📱

Secure QR Technology

QR payments reduce fraud risk dramatically — no typing, no copying numbers, no exposure of sensitive info.

💳

Your Linked Cards Are Protected

Cards added to Zapper are stored securely and never shared with merchants or sportsbooks.

Instant, Verified Transactions

Every payment is authorised directly inside your Zapper app, preventing unauthorised withdrawals or activity.
