While GG Gaming has established a footing in South Africa since its foundation in 2019, there are notable areas where the platform appears to lag behind its competitors. First and foremost, offering less than 10 sports is a significant drawback. Such a limited range can deter potential users who seek diverse betting opportunities. Live betting, a feature that’s become increasingly important for modern bookmakers, is very restricted on their site. The absence of mobile apps is another major disadvantage.

GG Gaming Odds
Despite our expectations, there were only 1X2 markets available for some top matches, which is concerning. We believe that punters should know what the bookie offers and the best indicator of that is the margin. The latter dictates the odds for the events; the bigger it is, the less value the sportsbook allows you to have. Coincidentally, the less competitive the odds are, the less your chances are to back your money in the long term.
GG Gaming implements a fee of around 6.15% for top football matches. In regards to cricket, the margin is below 5% in most cases, which is a neat addition. We could not evaluate odds for basketball and tennis simply because the sportsbook has no events available.
GG Gaming Live Betting & Live Streaming
No live streaming, graphical representation or statistics covered. The number of options is very limited here.
GG Gaming SA Mobile App
A mobile app for Android or iOS is not yet available from GG Gaming. Mobile users can only access the mobile version of the website.
Conclusion
Any betting site offering the bare minimum variability could be a better bookmaker. GG Gaming does have a nice website. However, the choice of markets is below par, with less than ten sports available. The margin is alright for what’s there, but only offering 1X2 markets for top football, such as the European club tournaments, is an insult to punters. There is no application for mobile devices, no live streaming, and only three payment options.
We believe GG Gaming does have the basics set up, but it feels like a betting site in development rather than a worthy place to wager. There are better sites available for South Africans, and you can learn more about them on our Betting Sites page.
