Why bet with TAB?

TAB is South Africa’s original tote betting site; and the country’s first legal betting operator. In fact, tote betting was the very first legal form of gambling in SA.

We’re trusted by leading betting brands across the country, who use our totes every day. With a long-standing legacy and unmatched experience, TAB remains the trusted choice for tote betting in South Africa.

🔁Betting into a Pool vs. Fixed Odds

Ditch the bookie! With TAB, your bets go into a shared pool, not the bookmaker’s pocket. Your payout depends on the size of the pool and how many winners there are - not fixed odds that favour the house.

💰Bigger Payouts

Fewer winners = bigger shares. Because winnings are divided among those who win, the more unique your picks, the more you stand to earn.

🚫No Maximum Payout Limit

There’s no cap on how much you can win. The bigger the pool, and the bolder your bets - the greater the potential reward.

🧠Bet on Permutations

Boost your chances with smart combinations. Tote betting allows for permutation bets, giving you multiple ways to win in a single wager.

🏆Big Carryovers and Guaranteed Pools

TAB offers massive carryovers from unclaimed pools and guaranteed minimums on selected pools - meaning more money in the pot, and more for you to win.
