Everything an SA player usually has to dig around for before signing up, gathered in one place.
Plenty of bookies bolt a couple of lotteries onto a sports site and call it done. YesPlay runs the world's draws as the actual product, and if numbers are your thing, that difference shows.
The live Lucky Numbers board on YesPlay. Real draws from around the world, each ticking down to its cut-off.
YesPlay matches your first deposit rand for rand, up to R3,000. This isn't cash you can withdraw on the spot. It's bonus funds that double what you've got to play with, so the first session lasts twice as long.
Double my first deposit →There's no promo code to remember. You sign up, you deposit, the match lands on its own.
Pop in your cell number and confirm the SMS code. Or sign in straight through Google, Apple or Facebook.
Load up with Ozow, a card, 1Voucher, EFT or eWallet. Tick the box to take the welcome offer.
Choose your numbers and the draw you want. Your deposit gets matched 100%, up to the R3,000 cap.
You're not buying a ticket and trying to match all six numbers. You bet on the draw itself, and you choose how many of its numbers to back, even just one. If your pick comes up when the balls are drawn, you're paid at fixed odds. Back a few numbers instead of one and the odds get longer, but more of them have to land.

Choosing numbers on YesPlay. Tap, drop them on your slip, done.
Once the welcome offer is done, this one stays. Every Monday YesPlay hands back 10% of what you lost on Lucky Numbers the week before. You don’t claim it, it just shows up. A small cushion for the weeks that go sideways.
Start at YesPlay →Local methods, rand in and rand out, no euro conversion to puzzle over. Deposits land straight away. How long a withdrawal takes depends on the method, so check YesPlay for the current numbers.
Nobody's handing out free money here. This is the honest version, so you go in with your eyes open.
Past numbers don't tilt the next draw. No system can promise a win, and anyone who swears theirs can is selling you something.
Of all the France Lotto markets, the Chance number sits closest to fair. You need to hit it roughly 1 time in 19 (5.26%) just to break even.
Bet money you'd be fine losing. Set a number before you start, and walk away when it stops being fun.
Every France Lotto market YesPlay lists, with its advertised payout and the win-rate you'd expect from pure random picks. The Chance number comes out closest to fair.

Visit YesPlay →Yes. It's run by SA Sportsbook (Pty) Ltd., licensed by the Western Cape Gambling & Racing Board under Bookmaker Licence 10180204-013.
Sign up, make a first deposit of at least R20, and accept the welcome offer. YesPlay matches it 100%, up to R3,000.
No code required. The usual wagering rules apply: claim within 7 days and wager 7x at minimum odds of 1.90.
R20 gets you a deposit, and a Lucky Numbers bet can be as small as R1 a draw.
Yes. France Lotto sits under Lucky Numbers, next to more than a hundred other draws from 25 countries.
No. It runs fine in your phone's browser. If you'd rather have an app, there are free ones for Android and iOS.
FDJ only sells tickets to people based in France and a few French territories. From South Africa the site simply won't serve you. The reason is regulatory rather than technical: selling abroad would put FDJ's French licence at risk. YesPlay is the licensed SA route to a bet on the same draw.
The draw runs at 20:20 Paris time, which is 8:20pm in SA over the European summer and 9:20pm SAST in winter (SA never changes its clocks; France does). YesPlay sorts the rand-to-euro conversion when you deposit. France doesn't withhold any tax on lottery winnings. Back to home for the longer version.
Open an account at YesPlay, put in R20 or more, and that first deposit doubles, up to R3,000, ready for France Lotto and the rest of the world's Lucky Numbers.
