How to Download the 10bet App in South Africa

Written by Ziv Mor · Published 6 November 2026

If you want to bet on sport from your phone, the 10bet app is one way to do it, but the install process isn’t quite the same as downloading a game from an app store. 10bet distributes its app directly from its own website rather than through Google Play, which means Android and iPhone users each follow a different path. Here’s how it works, what to expect at each step, and a few things worth checking before you commit any money.

Who operates 10bet in South Africa

10bet in South Africa is run by Edcobrite (Pty) Ltd, licensed by the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator under reference 9-2-1-09661. It’s worth confirming this kind of licensing detail for any bookmaker before you sign up, since it tells you which regulator you can turn to if something goes wrong.

Where to find the official download page

10bet publishes its app downloads on a single page at 10bet.co.za/app-download/. You’ll also find it linked as “10bet App” in the footer of the main 10bet.co.za site, which is a useful way to confirm you’re on the right page rather than a copycat site. Always type the address in directly or use the official link rather than clicking a download button from an ad or forum post.

Downloading the 10bet app on Android

Android users don’t get the 10bet app through the Google Play Store. Instead, you download an APK file directly from the 10bet app-download page. This is a common approach among betting apps generally, since app store rules can restrict real-money gambling apps, but it does mean a couple of extra steps:

1. Open the 10bet app-download page on your Android phone.
2. Tap the Android download link to start the APK download.
3. Your phone may show a warning about installing apps from an unknown source. You’ll need to go into your settings and allow installation from this source, or allow it when prompted, for the install to continue. 10bet’s own FAQ confirms this step is expected, since the app isn’t listed on Google Play.
4. Once allowed, open the downloaded file and complete the installation.
5. Launch the app and log in, or register a new account if you don’t have one yet.

Only ever enable “unknown sources” temporarily for this specific install, and switch it back off afterwards if your phone allows that, as a general security habit.

Downloading the 10bet app on iPhone

iPhone users have an easier route: 10bet is available through the Apple App Store. Search for 10bet in the App Store, or follow the iOS link from the 10bet app-download page, then install it the same way you would any other app. No extra settings changes are needed, since Apple has already vetted the listing.

Downloading the 10bet app on Huawei devices

If you’re on a Huawei phone without Google Play services, 10bet also has a listing on the Huawei AppGallery. Search for 10bet in AppGallery, or use the link from the app-download page, and install from there.

Before you install: a few things to check

• Storage space and permissions. Like most betting apps, 10bet will ask for standard permissions during setup. Check what’s being requested and only proceed if you’re comfortable with it.
• Current promotions change. At last check, 10bet’s welcome offer was a 100% deposit match up to R5,000, but operator offers and terms shift over time, so confirm the current wording and wagering requirements on the app or site before you rely on any figure.
• Verify your source. Because the APK isn’t distributed via Google Play, it’s worth double-checking you downloaded it from 10bet’s own domain and not a third-party mirror.

A note on legality

Online sports betting with a provincially licensed bookmaker, like 10bet operating under its Mpumalanga licence, is legal in South Africa. If an app or site also offers casino-style games, crash games, or number-draw games such as lucky numbers formats, be aware these sit in a different legal position. The National Gambling Board’s December 2025 warning lists online gambling outside horse racing and sports betting as unlawful, while licensed bookmakers continue to offer these games under their provincial licences. No court ruling has settled this conflict either way. For more on where the law currently stands, read our guide on legal online betting in South Africa.

18+ and responsible gambling

You must be 18 or older to bet with any licensed South African bookmaker. Betting apps are designed to be convenient, which also makes it easier to lose track of how much time or money you’re spending. If gambling stops being fun or starts affecting your finances, relationships, or wellbeing, help is available.
