ShayaBets advertises a R50 registration bonus plus up to R5,000. A registration reward is not a promise of R50 cash ready to withdraw.
Check the R50 reward separately from any deposit-funded component. The account minimum is R10, but the selected promotion decides what that deposit qualifies for. The ShayaBets bonus guide covers the offer separately from the account.

Verdict
Do not assume the registration reward has lighter wagering rules than the deposit bonus. Compare the actual withdrawal and expiry conditions for each.
