How can I delete an account on World Sports Betting South Africa?

Sometimes you need a clean break.

Players close accounts for everyday reasons: after a busy sporting season, when tightening the budget, switching phones, or wanting to reduce digital clutter and notifications.

First Step: Withdraw Your Remaining Balance

Before requesting closure, always withdraw any money left in your WSB account. This avoids delays and ensures you get your ZAR safely.

Quick tips:

Log in and go to the withdrawal section.
Use your preferred method (bank transfer or others).
Make sure your account is FICA verified for faster processing.
Save proof of the transaction.

Once the funds are in your bank, you can proceed with closure without worry.

How to Request Permanent Account Deletion on WSB

The most reliable way is to contact customer support and clearly request permanent deletion or closure.

Steps:

Use the email address linked to your WSB account.
Email

support@wsb.co.za

and include your full name, registered mobile number, ID number, and a clear statement that you want your account permanently deleted.
You can also call 086 010 3393 or 011 326 3633 for assistance.

Support will verify your identity before processing. Keep copies of your emails for records.

Temporary Options: Cooling-Off and Self-Exclusion

If you’re not ready for permanent deletion, WSB offers cooling-off periods and self-exclusion options.

Cooling-off

: A break for days, weeks, or longer. Contact support to set it up. Short periods usually cannot be cancelled early.
Self-exclusion

: A more formal option for longer or permanent breaks. Support can guide you through the process.

These options give you flexibility without a full permanent closure.
