South African 49’s and lucky number fans have something fresh to try. Betway, one of Africa’s leading betting brands, has teamed up with SIS to roll out two brand-new exclusive 49’s live draws—giving users a couple more chances to have fun and hopefully get lucky.

These additional draws will take place at 12:49pm and 5:49pm SAST, nicely timed to slot between the traditional lunchtime and teatime draws (which are an hour after the new draws). That means more action, more excitement, and more opportunities to hit those lucky numbers.
(Remember - only ever bet what you can afford)

New Draw Times

• Midday Draw: 12:49pm SAST
• Afternoon Draw: 5:49pm SAST

Both draws are streamed live from SIS’s UK-based studios, giving users the usual confidence in high-integrity results and a seamless, dependable betting experience.

Why This Matters

This marks the first time SIS has created exclusive 49’s draws for a single operator, and Betway’s move is an interesting step in offering South African players a tailored, branded experience. With 49’s already a fan-favourite across Africa, these new draws are intended to boost engagement and give punters even more flexibility in how—and when—they play.

Craig Osborn, Betway Africa’s Senior Product Manager, said:
“We wanted to give our players something unique. These new draws are designed to deliver a premium experience that reflects the rich legacy of the 49’s brand.”

Fighting the competition?

Some users have wondered if this move is a response to the Betfred Nifty 50’s game—which is drawn five times a day and has grown in popularity recently. Betway and SIS may have taken notice!
