Yebo Casino

It is essential to remember that online casinos are currently not legal in South Africa; however, certain local brands may offer casino games. Also, online casinos licensed abroad, such as Yebo Casino, can still provide their services to the residents of the Republic. Regulations for online casino is a hot topic in the country.

We can see how South Africa is moving towards a regulated market where operators, sooner rather than later, can apply for licenses to offer their services in the country legally. Sports betting in South Africa is currently regulated, and the various provinces in South Africa have regulators who review licence applications.

However, ladies and gentlemen, we at gamblers.africa are not here to discuss the South African gambling market. We are here to see what Yebo Casino has to offer its players. And why many people think this is the best online casino in South Africa.

Online casino in South Africa remains illegal. However, operators based abroad still offer their services to people in South Africa.

First Impression of Yebo Casino

Only a couple of weeks ago, when I started to work on this review, I had never been to Yebo Casino’s website. So, for me, I must say, it was pretty exciting. And to be honest with you guys, I can’t tell you why I never played with Yebo before – especially since South Africa was my home for a long time.

When I first landed on Yebo Casinos’ website, I was pleasantly surprised. The landing page has that modern, simple and ‘let’s get this started’- look. The black and blue colours give it a classy vibe.

It is very easy to locate everything – they focus on all the essentials, and you can easily spot the most vital parts:

• The Welcome Bonus
• The Sign-Up Button
• The Login Button
• And some of their popular games

I enjoy this type of simplicity. I tend to stay away from operators who try to squeeze too much on the screen. They must remember the limited space we have on the computer, mainly on smartphones. This is a personal preference, but I honestly believe less is more in design. Everything on their site is located where you expect it to be. Based on my first impressions, I understand how Yebo Casino has gained so much popularity and become one of the most popular online casinos in South Africa.

Another thing I noticed is that Yebo Casino more or less has the same layout for both compute, tablets and smartphones. Bigger on the computer, smaller on the phone. With that said, Yebo looks nice on all the devices I tried out. This is a big plus in terms of familiarity.

A Closer Look at the Registration

As soon as you decide to visit Yebo Casino’s website, you can’t miss the Sign-Up button. It is just where you expect it to be, in the top right corner. The registration process follows the same steps on the phone and computer – and it looks more precisely the same.

Add your desired username and password, and make sure you use an email address you can access. Do not use a friend’s email address or a family member’s. If you do not have an email address, it is time to get one. You have to click here and be off to Google’s email service Gmail.

In this stage of the registration process, I notice that Yebo Casino doesn’t only focus on South Africa. They even offer their services to people from Angola, Mozambique, and Madagascar. It’s not only South Africa Yebo Casino focus on, but rather Southern Africa.

The next step is the important stuff, some of your personal information. Please add your real name and date of birth because, at one stage, Yebo Casino might request you to verify yourself. So, could you make sure to use your factual information – and in a matter of minutes, you will be able to play with Yebo Casino. Make sure to verify your email by clicking the links that Yebo Casino send to your email address.

You will instantly have access to Yebo Casinos casino platform when all the steps are done. Super easy and quick.

Yebo Casino Casino Experience

Even though the first impression of Yebo Casino is the same on all devices, things change after registering and getting logged in. The casino lobby is where all games are located and have a unique feeling and layout.

On the laptop, the layout kind of starts lacking a bit. The classy and clean vibe is substituted with a rather dull image of Cape Town, with Table Mountain in the background and the general layout slightly off.

On the mobile, however, they did a somewhat decent job. All options are located in a circle on the screen, making it easy to navigate.

But. There is a big but. When you are logged into the casino lobby on the phone and computer and start browsing through the different areas, you might leave the casino lobby without knowing it. When this happens, Yebo Casino can’t pick up that you are already logged in – so you must go back to the casino lobby and log in again.

Make sure you only use the buttons on the site while navigating. I found myself using my browser’s buttons several times, leading to me getting kicked out of the casino lobby. And I had to log out to log into the lobby again. A bit confusing and annoying. I tried on different phones, and the issue kept on occurring.

CASINO GAMES

In terms of casino games available, Yebo Casino offer the most common and popular games a gambler might look for. The variety is limited, but if you not looking for any advance or specific games, Yebo Casino got you covered.

• Slot machines
• Video Poker

Yebo Casino also offers a great cashback bonus every week, which means you will receive a refund for your losses. The cashback promotion gives you a 15% refund on your losses up to R5000 every week. Not bad at all, from my point of view.

Responsible Gambling

Like many other operators operating in Africa, Yebo Casino does not offer their players the option to control their gambling manually. For example, you can not set your deposit limits. You must head over to customer support to request a deposit limit. Luckily the customer support at Yebo Casino is skilled and helpful and will send over your request to their finance department directly. It usually does not take more than 24 hours until your requested deposit limit has been updated and set.

If you wish to have your Yebo Casino account locked, contact support, and they will lock it for you. You can choose a self-exclusion period of 1, 3 or 6 months. And Yebo Casino will close your account immediately. During this period, Yebo Casino will also stop sending any promotional material.

If you ever find yourself a bit out of control regarding your gambling habits. We highly recommend you seek professional assistance for your gambling behaviour.
