Register, Deposit, and Get 100 Free Spins or up to R10,000 Bonus Bet
New to FirstBet? Open a new account, deposit at least R50, and grab a 100% first deposit match worth up to R10,000. The clever part: you choose how the bonus is paid out. Take it as a Bonus Bet for sports, horse racing, or lucky numbers, or as 100 Bonus Spins on a selection of Pragmatic Play slots. One offer, two ways to play.
⚠ Important: This is a deposit-required bonus, not a no-deposit offer
To unlock the 100 Bonus Spins, you must first deposit and wager your full deposit 20x on FirstBet's Bet Spins games. Once the wagering is complete, you must contact FirstBet support (email support@firstbet.co.za with the subject "100% First Deposit Match" or use live chat) to request the bonus — the spins are not credited automatically. FirstBet allocates them within 48 hours of your request. The spin value will match your first deposit, up to R10,000. Example: an R100 deposit unlocks R100 worth of spins, but only after R2,000 of qualifying wagering and a support request. The Bonus Bet option follows the same flow with a lower 5x deposit playthrough (dropping to 3x if your deposit is depleted before you clear it). Each Bonus Spin has a R3,000 maximum win cap — anything won above R3,000 on any single spin is deducted from your cash wallet.

| 100 Bonus Spins | 100% match value in spins | 20x on Bet Spins games | R3,000 per single spin |
How to Claim Your FirstBet Welcome Bonus
- Register a new account at FirstBet
- Make a first deposit of R50 or more
- Choose Option 1 (Bonus Bet) or Option 2 (Bonus Spins) and complete the relevant wagering requirement
- Email support@firstbet.co.za with the subject "100% First Deposit Match" or contact live chat to request the bonus — this step is required, the bonus is not credited automatically
- FirstBet allocates the bonus to your account within 48 hours of your request
Option 1: Sports, Horse Racing or Lucky Numbers Bonus Bet
For punters who prefer the sportsbook over the slots, this option turns your matched first deposit into a single Bonus Bet for sports, horse racing or lucky numbers.
- Match: 100% of first deposit, up to R10,000
- Minimum deposit: R50
- Wagering to qualify: First deposit wagered 5x at odds of 1.9 or higher. If a multi-leg bet is placed, every leg must be at 1.5 or higher
- Reduced wagering: If your deposit is used up before the 5x is met, the requirement drops to 3x. You can top up with further deposits to clear it, but only the first deposit qualifies for the promotion
- Excluded: Price Boost markets, cancelled bets, early cashouts and pending bets do not count toward wagering
- Bonus Bet wagering: Once allocated, the bonus bet must be wagered 1x at odds of 1.9+ (legs at 1.5+)
- Stake: The stake from the bonus bet falls away. You keep the profit only
- Max payout: 5x the bonus bet amount. An R1,000 bonus bet pays a maximum of R5,000
- Restrictions: Bonus bet cannot be used on Price Boost markets and cannot be cashed out early
- Final step: Once the wagering is complete, contact FirstBet support to request the bonus
Option 2: 100 Bonus Spins on Pragmatic Play Slots
Slot players can swap the Bonus Bet for 100 Bonus Spins playable on a curated set of Pragmatic Play games.
- Match: 100% of first deposit value in spins, up to R10,000
- Minimum deposit: R50
- Wagering to qualify: First deposit wagered 20x on any games inside the FirstBet Bet Spins menu
- Spins allocated: 100 bonus spins. If the spin value comes in below your first deposit, FirstBet tops up the spins with additional value so the total at least matches the deposit (rounded up to the nearest R1)
- Spin wagering: Once allocated, the spins must be wagered 1x
- Max payout: R3,000 maximum win per single spin. Anything won above R3,000 on any single spin is deducted from your cash wallet
- Eligible games: Sugar Rush, Gates of Olympus, 5 Lions Megaways, Buffalo King Megaways, Big Bass Bonanza, Fruit Party, Joker's Jewels and Hot To Burn
- Final step: Once the 20x deposit wagering is complete, contact FirstBet support to request the spins
Bonus Bet vs Bonus Spins: Which Should You Pick?
If you primarily bet on sport, horse racing or lucky numbers, Option 1 is the natural fit. The 5x deposit playthrough at 1.9+ is achievable in a few weekend slips, and you keep the profit on your bonus bet up to a healthy 5x cap.
If your weekend looks more like Sugar Rush than soccer, Option 2 is the better deal. The deposit playthrough is heavier at 20x, but once you have the spins they only need 1x wagering, with up to R3,000 winnable on every single spin.
