Tic Tac Bets

Tic Tac Bets has a good site design—but not great. The colours are a little too harsh to be perfect, with red and black dominating the screen. While red and black (and a bit of grey to add a touch of difference) are complementary design colours, at Tic Tac Bets—and similarly designed betting sites—it all becomes a little overwhelming.

Having said that, the interface is clean and straightforward, making navigation a breeze for both new and experienced users. The layout follows the tried and trusted stock standard format, making it instantly recognisable to players and adding a comforting familiarity.

The site’s mobile version is equally easy to navigate, offering seamless usability without the need to download a separate App—although there is an Android app on offer. This mobile optimisation is crucial in South Africa, where many users prefer accessing online gambling services on their phones.

Everything is laid out for clear sight and easy navigation. Login and Join are on the top right. Home, Fixtures, Promotions, Affiliates, Results, Tic Tac Bets App, Legal and Contact info sit at the top of the screen. Sports, Live Sports, Aviator, Lucky Numbers, Vegas Games, Horse Racing, Dog Racing and Virtual Games have quick link buttons below these and above a small, unobtrusive marketing banner.

The sportsbook is clearly laid out, with the chosen events front and centre and all the options in a list on the left. Bet slips have their own pillar to the right.

The online casino has the usual thumbnail-heavy feature of vibrant and colourful pics showing all the games.

It all brings a familiar feel to the Tic Tac online and mobile betting platform, one that players will find very easy to navigate but without any real stand-out features. This is a plus for some players but a negative for experienced players looking for something unique, especially on the online casino side.

The registration process is fast and straightforward:

• Go to www.tictacbets.co.za
• Click JOIN at the top right of the screen (the red box).
• Enter all the details as prompted, such as mobile number, email, name, and Ts & Cs agreement.
• Create a password.
• Click “Create an Account” to set up your account.
• Check your email or mobile for a verification message from Tic Tac Bets.
• Enter the verification code when prompted.

Log in is as easy as clicking the Login button and entering your email/mobile number and password. There is also an Android App available for download for quick mobile access.

Site security is maintained through industry-standard encryption protocol, and Tic Tac Bets clearly displays a message about responsible gambling. For players looking for help with gambling responsibly, visit www.gambleaware.org

From the get-go, players can see that sports betting is the focus of Tic Tac Bets. The comprehensive sports offering is set up to enhance the physical bookies with competitive odds and a great variety that will appeal to fans across multiple sporting codes and international and local events.

The online casino games are equally well-represented, though, so fans of games of chance can spend many an hour on some excellent online and mobile slots, in addition to Lotto-style Lucky Numbers and the Aviator flight game, which is growing in popularity across our country.

Sports betting

The platform covers a wide range of sports, including football, cricket, rugby, and more — all popular with the South African audience. Users can find a variety of betting options, from traditional match-winner bets to more complex wagers like multi-bets and over/under scores. The odds are competitive, providing value to novice and seasoned bettors.

Live betting is another exciting feature at Tic Tac Bets, allowing players to place bets on games as they happen. The live betting interface is robust, with real-time updates that keep up with the pace of live sports, enhancing the thrill of the game.

Casino games

Moving to the casino section, Tic Tac Bets does not disappoint. The platform offers a diverse range of casino games, including online and mobile slots, Live Casino table and gameshow games, Lucky Numbers, Aviator and Virtual Games.

The online and mobile slots collection features both classic and contemporary titles with various themes and pay structures, all brought to players by internationally recognised providers like Pragmatic Play and Aardvark. This portfolio could, and probably will, be expanded, considering other online and mobile casinos in South Africa are bringing nig names like NetEnt and Red Tiger to the screens.

Evolution brings its usual excellence to the Live casino games where popular table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat are available in multiple variants, catering to different preferences and bankroll sizes. Well worth checking out are the Gameshow Live Casino games like Cray Time and Dream Catcher for some truly innovative and entertaining play.

The quality of the games is commendable, with smooth graphics and engaging gameplay. This is backed by reputable software providers known for their reliability and fair gaming practices. Such partnerships ensure that the games are not only entertaining but also fair and secure for all players.

Aviator

Mzansi seems to be embracing the flight game Aviator, which can be found under its own dedicated tab on the main menu.

Lotto and Keno

Lucky Numbers offers a host of lotto-style games, while Keno can be played under the Virtual Games tab, along with Spin & Win games and a ‘live’ Roulette game.

Quick games

Betgames and Scratchcard games are also available and can be found if players scroll through the sub-bar on the Vegas Games page.

There is currently no obvious loyalty program from Tic Tac Bets.

Tic Tac Bets offers a dedicated Android App for players looking for fast access to the site, but the intuitive design of the online site means that players will have no problem accessing and playing their chosen games and sports from their mobile browser.

Tic Tac Bets has an impressive list of payment options, more so than many other bigger South African online and mobile gambling sites. Remember, if players want to withdraw any winnings, they must follow all the FICA regulations and complete all wagering requirements as set out by Tic Tac Bets.
