Fafabet, a betting platform that first launched in the UK before expanding into South Africa, has announced its decision to end operations in South Africa by November 30, 2024. This surprising news comes after the company sent an official notice to affiliates on November 1, informing them that it would no longer accept new players from South Africa.
Notice to Affiliates
In a message sent to affiliates, Fafabet thanked them for their hard work in promoting the brand in South Africa. Affiliates are encouraged to remove Fafabet from their sites at their earliest convenience. The company apologized for any disruptions this might cause and assured affiliates that support is available to assist with any required updates.
Key Information for Fafabet Users in South Africa
On its website, Fafabet addressed existing players, urging them to withdraw their funds before the November 30 deadline. Here’s what South African players need to know:
- No New Registrations or Deposits: Fafabet has stopped accepting new account registrations and deposits as of now.
- Withdraw Your Funds: Players with an account balance must withdraw their funds by November 30, 2024. Fafabet has provided a Special Withdrawal Terms & Conditions page for more information.
- Support and Assistance: For any help with the withdrawal process, users can contact Fafabet’s support team at support@fafabet.co.za.
Reason for Closure
Fafabet hasn’t disclosed specific reasons for its decision to leave South Africa. However, in a statement, the company hinted at a shift in focus toward “future opportunities and improvements.” While Fafabet has not been active in South Africa for long, this exit marks the end of their South African journey.
What’s Next?
If you’re a Fafabet player, ensure you withdraw any remaining funds in your account before November 30. Fafabet has promised continued support through this transition, aiming to make the process as smooth as possible.
