Terms and conditions

Last updated: 14 September 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply when you access or use BetHive.co.za (“BetHive”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website.

These Terms should be read together with BetHive’s Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Affiliate Disclosure and Responsible Gambling page.

2. About BetHive

BetHive is an independently owned South African betting-information, comparison and affiliate-marketing website. BetHive is not a casino, bookmaker or gambling operator and does not accept bets, deposits or withdrawals.

BetHive publishes editorial content, guides, comparisons, reviews and clearly labelled commercial placements. Nothing on BetHive creates a betting account or contract between you and BetHive.

3. Age and eligibility

Betting-related information and affiliate links on BetHive are intended only for people aged 18 or older. You must not use this material if you are under 18.

You are responsible for checking whether accessing gambling-related content or using a third-party operator is lawful where you live. BetHive does not guarantee that every linked service is available or lawful in every location.

4. Permitted use

You may use BetHive for lawful, personal and non-commercial purposes. You must not:

• Use the website for fraud, abuse, harassment or unlawful activity;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, an account, server or network;
• Introduce malicious code, overload the service or interfere with security;
• Scrape, copy or republish substantial parts of BetHive without permission;
• Misrepresent BetHive content, ratings, authorship or commercial relationships; or
• Use automated systems in a way that unreasonably burdens the website.

5. Information, not advice

BetHive content is provided for general information and editorial purposes. It is not financial, legal, investment, medical or gambling advice. Betting involves financial risk and is not a way to earn income.

You remain responsible for your own decisions. Set limits, never chase losses and seek help if gambling stops being enjoyable or manageable.

6. Content accuracy and updates

BetHive aims to research and present information carefully, but information can become incomplete, unavailable or out of date. Odds, offers, eligibility, payment methods, product features, licence details and third-party terms may change without notice.

You must verify material information directly with the relevant third party before acting on it. BetHive does not guarantee that content is always complete, current, error-free or suitable for a particular purpose. We may correct, update, withdraw or unpublish content when appropriate.

7. Editorial ratings and reviews

Where BetHive publishes a rating or review, it reflects the stated editorial assessment and available information at the time of review. A commercial relationship must not determine an editorial score.

Reviews do not guarantee that an operator, product, promotion or service will suit you. Any unavailable or unverified information should be omitted rather than assumed.

8. Affiliate links and paid placements

Some links on BetHive are affiliate links. If you follow one and complete a qualifying action, BetHive may receive a commission. Paid and sponsored placements are labelled and separated from editorial content.

Commercial arrangements do not increase a price charged by BetHive and must not influence editorial ratings. Read the Affiliate Disclosure for more information.

Optional affiliate tracking remains disabled unless you consent. When consent is absent, BetHive uses an untracked destination where one is available. Read the Cookie Policy for details.

9. Third-party websites and operators

External links take you to services controlled by third parties. BetHive does not create, operate or control your account with a bookmaker or other provider. The third party controls its own registration, identity checks, deposits, withdrawals, betting, promotions, terms, licensing, security, cookies and personal-information practices.

A link, comparison or review does not amount to an endorsement or guarantee. Before opening an account or providing information, read the third party’s terms, privacy information and responsible-gambling controls, and independently verify its legal status.

10. Responsible gambling

You must be 18 or older to gamble. Gambling carries financial and personal risk. BetHive encourages readers to set time and spending limits, never borrow to gamble and never chase losses.

Read the Responsible Gambling page for warning signs, practical steps and support information.

11. Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, BetHive or its licensors own the website design, branding, text, graphics, databases and other original material. You may view and share ordinary links to published pages for personal use.

You may not reproduce, sell, adapt, frame, distribute or commercially exploit substantial BetHive material without written permission, except where applicable law permits it.

12. Availability and security

BetHive may suspend, change or remove any part of the website for maintenance, security, legal or editorial reasons. We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free access.

You must take reasonable precautions when using the internet and external services. Report suspected misuse or security problems to BetHive.

13. Limitation of responsibility

To the extent permitted by law, BetHive is not responsible for losses arising from your gambling decisions, a third-party operator, an external website, unavailable or changed offers, or information you provide directly to a third party.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded. Your rights under applicable consumer or data-protection law remain unaffected.

14. Privacy and cookies

Our Privacy Policy explains how BetHive handles personal information. Our Cookie Policy explains the technologies used and how you can accept, reject or withdraw consent for optional categories.

15. Changes to these Terms

BetHive may update these Terms when the website, services or legal obligations change. The revised Terms will be published on this page with an updated date. Continued use after publication means the revised Terms apply from their effective date, subject to applicable law.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of South Africa. Before starting formal proceedings, please contact BetHive so the concern can be reviewed and, where possible, resolved.
