Our team recommends betway.co.bw
Sunbet Botswana is a site that’s proudly local but bears the weight of a global entertainment legacy. Run under the Sun International brand (that’s right, the same group that’s responsible for Sun City), this online bookmaker combines South African polish with Botswana betting. From sports and slots to crash games and a full-fledged live casino, it’s filled with enough variety to keep most punters occupied.
But as we ever ask ourselves: does it only look the part, or does it also deliver? Let’s get in.

Bonuses & Promotions
The first is the 100% welcome bonus of up to P750. It’s not flashy by global standards, but it’s not bad for Botswana—and it actually shows up in your account without needing to meet a flaming hoop of requirements.
Where Sunbet Botswana gets more interesting is in its themed promos. During the cricket mania a few months ago, there were offers like “Last Ball Madness” and “Top Batsman Basher”—and yes, we did give it a spin. Backed a player to the top score, missed the target, but still got half the stake back as promised. Not bad. And currently, with rugby in full swing, half-time insurance promotions are running. It’s subtle but clever: you get the feeling that the promotions follow the real-world sporting calendar, instead of plodding along on autopilot.
Is it as aggressive as Betway’s “Bet Influencer” format or Hollywoodbets’ odds boost? Not quite. But Sunbet Botswana’s promos feel a little more tailored and contextual, making a difference when you’re betting on home soil.
Sign-up Process
Creating an account is painless. You’ll need a Botswana ID (or passport if you’re not a citizen), your usual details, and a source of income. The form is short; there’s even a checkbox to opt in for the welcome bonus.
Friendly tip: you cannot postpone FICA/KYC verification forever. When the time to withdraw arrives, you’ll need to forward documentation to kyc@sunbet.co.bw. While that sounds like aggravation, our process was surprisingly painless. We submitted our docs around 8 a.m. and were cleared before lunch.
There is no native app yet, but honestly, the mobile browser version is good. We launched the sportsbook during a match while we were out for lunch (don’t judge us), and it ran without delay or freezing, even on odds updates.
Deposits & Withdrawals
Sunbet Botswana makes banking easy. You can deposit into your account using:
- OTT Voucher – Enter code + mobile number
- EFT – From your bank account in your name, use your Player ID as a reference
- Cards – VISA & Mastercard are supported
💰 Minimum deposit: P50
💳 Minimum withdrawal: P50
📅 Withdrawal processing: Monday to Friday, next business day
Heads-up: EFT deposits are not automatically credited. You’ll need to email support@sunbet.co.bw with your proof of payment (bank name, amount, and your Player ID). We had to do this ourselves after we made a payment with the wrong reference once, and while it’s not as convenient as instant banking on other websites, the support team had it sorted within the hour (within working hours, of course: 7:30 AM–10:00PM daily).
Sportsbook Overview
The sports betting side of Sunbet Botswana is clean and locally relevant. You’ve got your:
- Soccer (EPL, La Liga, PSL, CAF matches)
- Rugby
- Cricket
- Tennis
- Esports, UFC, basketball, golf, and even snooker
Why does it stand out? Firstly, the design doesn’t try to be clever—it’s easy to navigate, markets load quickly, and decimal odds are default. We tested it out during the Monte Carlo Masters, placed a live tennis bet, and the odds locked in effortlessly.
Compared to MozzartBet or Hollywoodbets (which can sometimes feel bloated on mobile), Sunbet’s leaner interface is refreshing.
Crash Games, Slots & Live Casino
Sunbet’s casino page is no afterthought. It’s replete with everything from crash games (yes, they have Spaceman and Big Bass Crash) to slot staples like:
- Mystic Fortune Deluxe
- Sugar Rush 1000
- Book of Monsters
- Cash Volt
- Aztec Fire Hold and Win
- 777 Strike
Game providers include big names like Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Red Tiger, 3 Oaks, and Habanero.
As for the Live Casino, Pragmatic Play Live and Evolution Gaming share the spotlight. Table lovers can get into:
- Turbo Baccarat
- Mega Roulette
- PowerUp Roulette
- Infinite Blackjack
- Crazy Time
- Sweet Bonanza Candyland
We gave VIP Roulette a spin—decent stream quality, seamless transitions, and low latency even during peak hours. Feels like the real deal.
Mobile Betting
The Sunbet Botswana mobile experience is straightforward and valuable even though there’s no native application that can be downloaded. All this happens through your phone browser, whether on Android or iOS, keeping it nice and clean. The site has a nice resize to a small screen, but all are nicely carried out by ensuring smooth passage of the sportsbook market, live casino tables, and even deposits or withdrawals with no apparent delay.
We placed some live bets and spun a couple of slots on a mid-range phone, and the performance was adequate. A special app would be a pleasant addition for quicker access and notifications, but the mobile site is sufficient to handle in-play betting on the move.
Customer Support
Sunbet Botswana is one of the rare sites that still keeps it local for support:
- Call Centre: +267 79127200
- Support: support@sunbet.co.bw
- KYC/FICA: kyc@sunbet.co.bw
- Facebook: SunBetSportsBetting
- Support hours: 7:30 AM–10 PM daily
In our experience, email support is responsive, particularly for FICA and deposit issues. Just don’t expect late-night responses—it’s not a 24/7 operation like some offshore sites.
Final Word
Sunbet Botswana is not the most flashy name on the board – and that is not a bad thing. It stays local, regulated, and on track. From a sportsbook that prioritizes what punters really want to look at to a casino that has genuine variety without being too much, it all comes across as well-balanced.
Sure, it would be great to see more payment options or an app, but when the basics are this well-executed, there’s little to complain about. Not when the site is so obviously built for Botswana and not just superficially adapted to it.
Whether you’re in it for the 10-leg multi or just having a punt on a jackpot slot after work, Sunbet Botswana gets the job done, with some polish and without the fluff.
