Ready Set Bet has a refreshingly simple login and registration process, whether you’re accessing your existing account or joining for the first time. South African players can log in using either their registered mobile number or email address, while new customers can complete the main Ready Set Bet registration form on a single screen.
In this guide, we’ll take you through the Ready Set Bet login, registration, forgotten password process and FICA verification. We’ve also included screenshots of the current login and registration pages, so you know exactly what to look for.
If you want to know more about the betting site itself, check out our Ready Set Bet review on The Gambler. We also have a separate guide covering the latest Ready Set Bet bonuses and promotions, including the 50 free spins available after completing FICA.
Ready Set Bet Login
Logging into your Ready Set Bet account is straightforward, and one feature we like is that you aren’t restricted to a single login method. As you can see from our screenshot, Ready Set Bet gives you the choice of logging in with either your mobile number or email address.
To complete your Ready Set Bet login:
- Visit the Ready Set Bet website at www.readysetbet.co.za.
- Select Log in.
- Choose Mobile or Email.
- If using your mobile, make sure South Africa (+27) is selected and enter your registered number.
- Enter your Ready Set Bet password.
- Tick Remember me if you’re using your own private device and want the site to remember your details.
- Select Log in to access your account.
If you’d rather use your email address, simply select the Email tab at the top of the login box and enter the email address associated with your account instead. We’d recommend leaving Remember me unticked when accessing Ready Set Bet from a shared or public device.
Forgot Your Ready Set Bet Password?
Forgetting your password doesn’t mean you need to create another account. Ready Set Bet provides a Forgot password? link directly alongside the password field on the login screen. Select this option and follow the account recovery instructions provided by Ready Set Bet. Make sure you use the mobile number or email address linked to your existing account.
It’s particularly important that you don’t simply register another account when you can’t remember your login details. Multiple accounts can cause problems with account verification, promotions and withdrawals. If the normal password recovery process doesn’t solve the problem, contact Ready Set Bet customer support for assistance.
How to Register at Ready Set Bet
The Ready Set Bet registration form is one of the simpler ones we’ve come across. Rather than sending you through several pages before you know what information is required, the main details are collected through a single registration screen. Select Join now from the Ready Set Bet website and you’ll see the Register in one easy step form shown in our screenshot. If you’d like to know more about Ready Set Bet before you register then check out our Ready Set Bet review, otherwise follow the steps below to sign up.
You’ll need to enter:
- Start by visiting www.readysetbet.co.za.
- First name, exactly as it appears on your ID
- Surname, exactly as it appears on your ID
- South African mobile number
- ID type, either SA Identity or Passport
- ID or passport number
- Email address
- Password
- Promo code, if applicable
Once everything has been entered, confirm that you’re over 18 and that you agree to the Ready Set Bet terms and privacy policy. The separate marketing communications box can also be selected if you want to receive promotional messages. Check that your details are correct before selecting Join now.
One thing worth getting right the first time is your name and identification details. Ready Set Bet specifically asks that your first name and surname match your ID, so don’t use nicknames or shortened versions when opening the account.
Ready Set Bet Promo Code
Ready Set Bet includes an optional promo code field directly on the registration form, so if you have a code, this is where you’ll need to enter it. For The Gambler readers, use promo code SPIN50 when registering your new Ready Set Bet account. Simply enter SPIN50 in the Promo Code box before ticking the terms and conditions and selecting Join now. We’d recommend adding the code during registration rather than trying to apply it afterwards. Remember that the promo code is separate from Ready Set Bet’s FICA promotion, where eligible players receive 50 free spins on Jelly Express after completing FICA verification.
Ready Set Bet FICA Verification
Registration gets your account created, but FICA is another important part of getting fully set up with Ready Set Bet. You’ll need to provide the required verification documents, which can include your ID document, passport or driver’s licence, proof of banking no older than three months, and proof of address where this isn’t shown on your banking document. Your email address and mobile number also need to be verified.
There is a good reason to get this sorted sooner rather than later. Ready Set Bet currently rewards customers with 50 FICA free spins on Jelly Express once their account has been FICA approved. The free spins must be used in full and any winnings are capped at R500. Before those winnings can be withdrawn, you’ll need to make a deposit of at least R50 and wager the deposited amount at least once. From our experience reviewing South African betting sites, completing FICA early is generally the better approach. It gets the verification out of the way before you eventually want to make a withdrawal.
Ready Set Bet Welcome Bonus
Completing FICA isn’t the only offer available to new players. Ready Set Bet also currently has a 75% first deposit bonus worth up to R5,000. The minimum qualifying deposit is R50, although wagering requirements apply and differ depending on whether you’re using the bonus for sports or games. We cover those requirements separately in our Ready Set Bet bonus guide, as it’s worth understanding the rollover before accepting the offer. The 50 free spins and deposit bonus are different promotions, so don’t confuse the FICA reward with the main welcome deposit offer.
Is Ready Set Bet the New SoccerShop?
Yes. Ready Set Bet is the newer brand that replaced SoccerShop.bet. It’s operated by Kalmia Trading 1085 and licensed by the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator. We’re only mentioning that because players who previously used SoccerShop may understandably wonder why they’re now seeing Ready Set Bet. For new customers, there’s no real need to worry about the old branding, you can simply register and use Ready Set Bet as normal.
Ready Set Bet Login Problems
Most Ready Set Bet login issues should be relatively easy to sort out. The first thing to check is whether you’re using the correct mobile number or email address. Because Ready Set Bet allows both methods, try the other option if you’re unsure which one you originally used.
Also double-check your password, particularly if your browser has automatically filled in an old one. If you’ve forgotten it, use Forgot password? rather than repeatedly attempting to log in. If you’ve recently changed your phone number or lost access to your registered email address, you’ll probably need assistance from Ready Set Bet support to recover or update the account.
The Gambler’s Thoughts
Ready Set Bet keeps things pretty simple when it comes to getting into your account. We particularly like the option of logging in with either your mobile number or email, and the registration form doesn’t drag you through a long series of unnecessary screens.
If you’re registering for the first time, our biggest tip is to use your real details exactly as they appear on your ID and get FICA completed early. Apart from making life easier when you eventually want to withdraw, FICA approval currently gets you 50 free spins on Jelly Express.
Ready Set Bet also has a decent welcome offer beyond those free spins, with a 75% first deposit match worth up to R5,000. Before depositing, have a look through our Ready Set Bet bonus guide so you understand the wagering requirements and can decide whether the offer suits you.
