1ForYou voucher casinos and betting sites

What 1ForYou is

1ForYou is the consumer app and voucher system run by Flash, the South African company behind thousands of informal-retail vending points. You buy a voucher with cash at a till, or load value in the 1ForYou app, and then spend that value online: on airtime, electricity, games, shopping and betting. Each voucher has a 16-digit PIN that works like cash.

Many betting sites list the method as “1Voucher”, the name printed on the voucher itself. 1ForYou is the app where you can store, combine and send voucher value. Whichever label you see, it’s the same money.

Where you can use 1ForYou

In our data five bookmakers list 1ForYou by name: 10bet, BetXchange, Hollywoodbets, World Sports Betting and Jabula Bets. Many more accept the same PIN under the 1Voucher label, so if your site isn’t here, check our 1Voucher page.

Hollywoodbets stands out because it works both ways: you can deposit with a 1ForYou voucher and withdraw winnings straight to the 1ForYou app.

1Win isn’t on the list in our data. To play there without a card, crypto, Zapper or SnapScan works.

Where to buy a voucher

According to 1Voucher’s support page, limits depend on where you buy:

• Flash shops: any amount from R1 to R1,500.
• Shoprite and Checkers: any amount from R5 upwards.
• PEP and Ackermans: set amounts from R20 to R200.
• Online: in the 1ForYou app or on 1voucher.co.za with a bank card.

Usave, OK, Dealz and House & Home also sell them.

How to deposit with 1ForYou

1. Buy a voucher at one of the stores above, or open the 1ForYou app.
2. Log in to your betting account and choose 1ForYou or 1Voucher on the deposit page.
3. Enter the 16-digit PIN and the amount you want to deposit.
4. The money shows instantly. At most sites, any leftover value stays on the voucher for next time.

Keep the slip until you’ve used the full value.

How to withdraw to 1ForYou at Hollywoodbets

1. Make sure your Hollywoodbets account is FICA-verified.
2. Download the 1ForYou app and register with the same cellphone number as your Hollywoodbets account.
3. On Hollywoodbets’ withdrawal page, choose 1ForYou and enter the amount.
4. The money arrives in the app instantly once approved. You can then buy airtime, pay bills, send it to someone, or use it to deposit again.

Fees, limits and speed

• Fees: free at the bookmakers in our data.
• Limits: the voucher value (R1 to R1,500 at Flash shops) and the bookmaker’s own minimum, often R5 at local sites.
• Speed: deposits are instant. Hollywoodbets’ 1ForYou withdrawals are instant after approval.

Who it suits

1ForYou suits cash-based punters who want to buy vouchers anywhere, from a Flash shop in a township to a Checkers in a mall. It’s especially good at Hollywoodbets, where it doubles as a cash-free way to get winnings back.

If you bank online, Ozow or Capitec Pay saves you the trip to the shop.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Sold at thousands of Flash outlets and major chains.
• Any amount from R1 at Flash shops.
• Instant and free deposits.
• Two-way at Hollywoodbets via the app.

Cons

• Only five bookmakers list 1ForYou by name in our data (more under 1Voucher).
• Withdrawals only at Hollywoodbets.
• A lost PIN is lost money.

Alternatives

OTT Voucher and Blu Voucher are the other big cash vouchers. Kazang vouchers are sold at spaza shops. For cash payouts, see FNB eWallet and Standard Bank Instant Money. Every method is on our payments page.

Vouchers make it easy to bet small amounts often, which adds up. Set a deposit limit in your account, and call the NRGP on 0800 006 008 if betting is causing you stress.
