How to Complete FICA Verification

Online gambling laws in South Africa require that every South African punter verify their ID and proof of address (FICA) to participate in online betting or online casino gaming. This requirement is intended to protect bettors and players and prevent fraud and money laundering.

When you register at Easybet, we recommend that you verify FICA immediately to qualify for Easybet welcome offers. You also can’t withdraw winnings unless you complete verification. The good thing is that Easybet verifies your identity automatically if your ID matches the Department of Home Affairs records.

Here’s how you complete Easybet FICA verification manually.

Log in to your account and click/tap on the ‘FICA My Account’ button at the top of the site if you’re using a desktop. If you’re using your phone, tablet, or iPad, tap on the three-bar menu icon at the top left of the Easybet site to display the menu. Then tap on ‘Help,’ and then ‘FICA My Account.’ You should then select ‘Manual’ and tap/click ‘Upload Files.’

To verify your identity, upload copies (front and back if applicable) of one of the following documents;

• ID document

• Passport

• Driver's License

Once you’ve uploaded the documents, you'll see a confirmation message at the top-right of your screen.

The next verification step is to provide proof of address. Here, you must ensure you upload copies of documents that are less than three (3) months old. You can also upload the documents in PNG, JPG, OR PDF formats.

So, to verify your address, tap/click on the 'FICA My Account’ button, and upload your bank statement or utility bill under ‘Address Proof.’ Verification review and approval typically takes less than 24 hours.

What Happens After You Register?

Upon creating your account and completing FICA verification, you’ll get an Easybet no deposit welcome offer of a R50 free bet and 25 free spins. The sportsbook credits the free bets immediately after you sign up, while free spins can take up to two hours to appear in your bonus balance.

To use your R50 free bet, you need to roll over the bonus three times (3x) on any sports market with odds of 3.0 or greater before it’s eligible for withdrawal. For the 25 free spins, you can only play the free spins on Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Sugar Rush, and Joker’s Jewels slots.

After using your no deposit bonus, you can proceed and make your first deposit of at least R50, and you’ll get a deposit match offer of 150% up to R5,000. But remember to check the bonus terms before claiming this Easybet welcome bonus.

Common Easybet Registration Issues

There are a few common issues you may experience during Easybet registration. They include;

• OTP not arriving: When verifying your phone number, you normally receive a one-time PIN code via SMS. If it’s not arriving, check your network, resend the code, or confirm you’ve provided the correct number.

• “Details already exist” error: If you get this error while registering at Easybet, an account registered with the email or phone number you’re using already exists. So, go to ‘Log In’ and tap/click on the ‘Forgot password? Recover its button.

• Registration is blocked outside South Africa. Easybet.co.za only accepts South African punters residing in South Africa, with a valid phone number and ID or Passport. So, if you get blocked, check whether Easybet is available in your country and sign up from your country’s Easybet site version.

Responsible Gambling

When you sign up at Easybet, you should do it intending to place sports bets or play online casino games for entertainment only. You should never join the Easybet site or app to win money, earn income, or solve your financial problems. So, don’t chase any losses and only use the money you can afford to lose to gamble.

To manage your online gambling and betting habits, we recommend that you use the responsible gambling tools available at Easybet, such as deposit limits, time limits, and self-exclusion.
