So, you've signed up for Supabets and you're ready to start placing your bets, but you've hit a roadblock called FICA. It sounds complicated, but it's actually a really simple process. I remember when I first had to do it, I thought it was going to be a huge hassle, but it was surprisingly quick and easy.

To upload your FICA documents on Supabets, you need to send a clear, colour copy of your ID and a proof of residence that's less than three months old to either fica@supabets.co.za or via WhatsApp to 060 017 6911. Make sure all four corners of your documents are visible in the pictures.

What Documents You'll Need

Before you can start, you'll need to get a couple of documents ready. It's a good idea to have these saved on your phone or computer so they're easy to find.

• A copy of your South African ID: This can be your green bar-coded ID book or a smart card ID. Just make sure it's a colour copy and that it's certified.
• Proof of residence: This needs to be a document that's less than three months old and shows your full name and physical address. A PO Box address won't be accepted. You can use one of the following:
• A utility bill (like water and electricity)
• A bank statement
• A municipal rates and taxes invoice

How to Submit Your FICA Documents

Once you have your documents ready, you have two easy ways to send them to Supabets:

• Email: You can send your documents to fica@supabets.co.za. Just attach the files to the email and send it off.
• WhatsApp: If you prefer using your phone, you can send your documents to 060 017 6911. I found this to be the quickest way. I just took pictures of my documents and sent them through.

What Happens Next?

After you've sent your documents, the Supabets team will review them. This usually takes about 24 hours. Once your account is FICA-verified, you'll be able to withdraw any winnings. I remember the relief I felt when I got the confirmation email. I was so excited to finally be able to access my winnings.

It's as simple as that! Once you're FICA-verified, you can enjoy all the features that Supabets has to offer.
