3 Habanero Jackpot Races run every week on BetJets, paying 20 winners each time.
Monthly prizes total R200,000 in cash across the Midweek, Friday Night, and Sunday Night races.
You only need a real-money bet of R1 or more on a qualifying Habanero slot while the race is live.

Quick practical notes

Spin any qualifying Habanero slot for at least R1 in real money during one of BetJets’ three weekly race windows, and you enter for a share of that race’s cash pool, with R200,000 available across the month.

Why timing beats volume

Most SA jackpot races reward volume. This one on Betjets keeps the windows short and the pools fixed, so timing matters more than grinding.

When the races run

All times are South African. Sunday is the longest session and carries the biggest pool on Betjets. The other two are tight one-hour races. Together, they make up the monthly R200,000.

Race Day Window Prize pool Winners
Midweek Wednesday 7–8 PM R15,000 20
Friday Night Friday 8–9 PM R15,000 20
Sunday Night Sunday 7–9 PM R20,000 20

Race	Day	Window	Prize pool	Winners
Midweek	Wednesday	7–8 PM	R15,000	20
Friday Night	Friday	8–9 PM	R15,000	20
Sunday Night	Sunday	7–9 PM	R20,000	20

How winners are decided

Place a real-money bet of at least R1 on a qualifying Habanero slot while the race is live.
Bonus funds and free spins do not count.
The jackpot drops at a random time; the chance of it hitting rises as the race nears its end, and it is guaranteed to drop before the window closes.
Positions go to the paid spins closest to that drop moment, in the order they reach Habanero’s server.
Each player can win only one position per race.
Check the race panel for any higher minimum bet that might apply.

Getting in

Open a qualifying Habanero slot during one of the three windows and place the real-money bet. The race panel confirms you are in.

New players often use the same evening to claim the welcome offer. Use the Betjets promo code BETS when you sign up. It will match your first deposit, giving you more money to start with. This way, you can try out a couple of races without having to deposit a lot of money upfront. You don't need this to enter a race, but it makes it easier to fund a new account and see if you like it.

Standard BetJets rules are in effect, and the operator reserves the right to change or end the promotion. The main rules have remained the same: only real-money bets count, each player can win only once per race, and prizes are awarded randomly with increasing odds.

Quick practical notes

Only paid spins inside the live window count.
Cash prizes land as real money with no extra race wagering.
The Sunday race offers the highest value if you can only join one session.
Playing on multiple devices does not create extra entries for the same account.
