ZARbet Registration & FICA South Africa: Verification Guide

ZARbet registration and FICA

ZARbet is a regulated South African betting operator and its current terms explicitly require customers to meet regulatory and FICA requirements.

For ownership, licensing and the full product review, see our ZARbet review.

Registration details

ZARbet's current sign-up form asks for core personal information including email, password, first name and surname matching the customer's South African ID, identity number and other account details. Customers must be 18 or older.

Use accurate information from the beginning. Incorrect names, identity information or payment ownership can complicate later verification and withdrawals.

What ZARbet may ask you to verify

The current terms say a customer may need to provide valid proof of identification and other documents deemed necessary. Examples published by ZARbet include a passport, driver's licence or national ID and a recent utility bill showing the customer's name and address.

ZARbet may also request further information or documentation to meet regulatory and legal obligations.

Why FICA matters

ZARbet states that it is subject to the Financial Intelligence Centre Act and applies customer due diligence, identity establishment and verification, transaction monitoring and record-keeping requirements.

Verification is therefore not simply a bonus condition. It is part of operating a regulated betting account.

Verification before withdrawal

ZARbet may perform identity checks before granting a withdrawal and can request additional verification such as a selfie or verification call. Its current terms state that requested withdrawal-verification documents must be supplied within 14 days, otherwise the withdrawal may be reversed into the betting account until the documents are provided.

For cashier rules, see our ZARbet deposits and withdrawals guide.

Payment ownership

ZARbet requires customers to be authorised users of their payment methods. Deposits should come from a payment source registered in the customer's own name. This helps explain why mismatched banking or card details can trigger additional checks.

Account security

Keep login credentials private and use only ZARbet's official website. Do not send identity documents to unofficial social-media accounts, third-party APK sites or people claiming they can bypass verification.
