This year’s Rugby World Cup will be hosted by France. The event debuts on Friday, the 8th of September, with a Group A match between France, the host country, and New Zealand, last year’s bronze medal recipient. Defending champions the Springboks, the South African national rugby union team, will face Scotland on the 10th, for their first match in Pool B. Millions of South African fans are preparing for their favourite sports team to begin its journey toward the final – hopefully. And since rugby betting in South Africa is huge, they are already calculating the betting odds and looking for the bookmaker that has the best odds for the event. Today, let’s take a look at what they can choose from this year.
The obvious choice for them is Betway, the official betting partner of the South African national rugby team. Betway is a well-known international brand known for its fairness and transparency – but also for its friendly odds and high-quality betting services.
Betway has a “well-stocked” rugby section where bettors can find pretty much every betting option they can imagine. Even though there are still weeks until the start of the event, you can already place your bets on individual matches.
While it doesn’t have as many markets as its big-time competitor, 10Bet also covers all matches of the Rugby World Cup already. Besides, it has a hefty welcome bonus in store for its new players, so if you haven’t registered your account, you still have time to do it.
Of course, 10Bet is focused on soccer – it is the official sponsor of Bafana Bafana, after all. But this doesn’t make its bonuses and odds any less impressive.
Another great choice for South African punters looking for a great Rugby World Cup bet is Gbets. This is especially true because of its dedicated promotion of rugby bets. Gbets is part of the Goldrush Group, a homegrown gaming company with operations both online and offline.
Another homegrown betting outlet licensed by the Western Cape gambling board is Bet.co.za. It is another local betting company to ride the wave of football’s popularity in South Africa – but this doesn’t mean it won’t offer the same great odds and attractive promotions to rugby fans.
Bet.co.za covers all the events of the Rugby World Cup – and expects the Springboks to win their group – and maybe even reach the final.
Finally, let’s not forget about another local gaming group that’s present both online and in real life: Sunbet. Like all of its competitors, Sunbet covers all matches of the Rugby World Cup and expects the All Blacks to be victorious this year. On top of that, Sunbet has a series of promotions aimed especially at rugby fans.
The 2023 Rugby World Cup, hosted by France, will start in just a couple of weeks. The odds are already out – all you have to do is find the right betting outlet for you and dig in. Whether you’re going with a major international brand or a local operator, make sure to do all your betting in the most responsible way.
