At a glance

Trust and licensing

WSB Lottery runs inside the WSB platform under the same Gauteng Gambling Board licence number RAN004. The book has been live in South Africa since 2002. It is a fixed odds Lucky Numbers product. You bet on the outcome of a real lottery draw at known odds. Win or lose, the payout comes from WSB at the published odds. No physical ticket is bought on your behalf.

Bets settle to your account after the source draw completes. Maximum single-bet payout sits under the brand-wide R10 million cap, one of the highest published caps on the SA market.

Welcome offer

Lucky Numbers shares the brand-wide welcome: 100% match up to R20,000 plus 100 free spins. Min deposit R50. Promo code NEWBONUS. The match works across sport, casino and Lucky Numbers from the same wallet.

The R20,000 cap is the largest welcome on the SA market. Wagering on the match is 5x for sports and racing bets, 30x for casino. Lucky Numbers bets count as sports bets for the wagering side.
