By Phone!

With a telephone betting account and a phone, you can take bets from anywhere. There are telephone betting centres in Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and Durban. Over R500 million is won on the horses by phone every year!

Betting by phone is easy, private and secure and you can use your credit card to deposit money into your account. You can also follow the action live on the information hotlines (Phumelela regions 082-1711; Gold Circle regions 082-1718) or on Tellytrack (Channel 232 on DSTV).

• Take your first bet by phone
  Call 0861 000 822 (Phumelela regions) or 0801 31 4740 (Gold Circle regions). We’ll fax or post an application form to you. Return the completed form to us. We’ll call you with the account and pin numbers.
  Deposit at least R50 into the account - by credit card (minimum R200 deposit), at a TAB or by electronic bank transfer.
• Take a bet
  Call 0861 000 822 and give the operator your account number. You’ll be asked for your telephone betting code and then you can bet e.g. “Turffontein Race 6 R20 Win No 6”.
