How instant EFT works
- Choose instant EFT (Ozow, Stitch or WalletDoc, for example) in the site’s cashier and enter the amount.
- Pick your bank and log in through the payment service’s secure page.
- Choose the account to pay from and approve the payment, usually with a prompt from your banking app.
- The payment service confirms it to the betting site at once, and your balance updates.
How Capitec Pay works
Choose Capitec Pay, enter the amount, and approve the payment in your Capitec app. Your card number and bank login never leave your phone. 10bet describes it as free and instant, from R10 (checked 13 October 2026). If you bank with Capitec, it’s the neatest way to pay.
Staying safe
- Prefer approval in your banking app. When your bank offers it, your login details stay inside the app.
- Check where you’re typing. If a flow asks for your internet banking login, make sure you’re on the payment provider’s real page, reached from the betting site’s cashier.
- Never approve a payment you didn’t start.
- Pay from an account in your own name. It’s a licensing rule, and a mismatch will hold up your withdrawals later.
Getting paid back
Instant EFT is a deposit method. Withdrawals go back by ordinary EFT to your bank account, or to your phone as cash at some sites. Ozow withdrawals at 10bet take about an hour during real-time clearing periods and up to 24 hours otherwise (10bet’s figure, checked 13 October 2026). Our payments page has every site’s withdrawal options.
Questions players ask
Which betting sites accept Capitec Pay?
Of the sites we cover, 10bet and Lucky Fish list Capitec Pay; YesPlay takes Capitec EFT deposits from R100 (checked 13 October 2026).
Does instant EFT cost anything?
10bet charges nothing for Ozow, WalletDoc or Capitec Pay deposits. Your bank may charge its usual transaction fee. YesPlay charges a R10 admin fee on EFT deposits below its minimum or with the wrong reference.
Why hasn’t my EFT deposit reflected?
Instant EFT should be immediate. An ordinary EFT can take longer, and a payment with the wrong reference may have to be matched by hand. Contact support with your proof of payment and reference number.
