To meet the Lucky Fish withdrawal requirements you need a verified account (identity checked under FICA), banking details saved in your own name, and a full turnover of your deposit before you request a payout. Lucky Fish is operated by Race Coast Western Cape (Pty) Ltd and states that it is licensed by the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator, bookmaker licence 9-2-1-09838.
Everything below comes from Lucky Fish’s own general terms and conditions (version 1.9, 9 October 2026) and its How to Withdraw guide. Terms change, so check them in your account before you withdraw.
Eligibility Requirements at a Glance
- Be 18 years or older; account holders must be adults
- Have a Lucky Fish account that has passed identity verification: no withdrawal is permitted until Lucky Fish has established and verified who you are
- Have turned over your full deposit before requesting a withdrawal
- Have South African banking details saved in your own name for EFT withdrawals
- Meet any wagering requirement on a bonus before you withdraw; promotion terms are time-limited, so read the terms of the one you took
- Request at least the minimum for the method you choose (see the fees and limits section)
Identification and Account Requirements
Lucky Fish will not release a withdrawal until your identity is verified. It may verify your banking online, or ask you to upload a valid ID, passport or driver’s licence (front and back if it is a card). Your nominated bank account must be in your own name, and Lucky Fish may also ask for a copy of your ID or a stamped bank statement to confirm it.
Before your first withdrawal you must save your bank details under My Banking Details in your account: the bank, the account holder’s name, the account number and the branch code, which fills in automatically. The change is confirmed with an SMS one-time PIN sent to your cellphone, so use a number you can access.
Lucky Fish’s R50 sign-up promotion adds a stricter rule: your FICA documents must be approved before any withdrawal is processed, and the accepted documents are a valid South African ID or a valid foreign passport. That promotion has its own wagering conditions, so read its terms before you accept it.
Documents and Verification Required
- A valid South African ID or a valid foreign passport (a driver’s licence may also be requested; for a card, both sides)
- Proof that the bank account is yours: Lucky Fish may verify it online or ask for a stamped bank statement
- Proof of residence, which Lucky Fish may require for large cash withdrawals
- For cash withdrawals at an outlet, your ID and a one-time PIN
You can upload documents by photo or file on the Lucky Fish FICA upload page. Upload them before you request your first payout so the withdrawal is not held up.
Fees, Limits and Service Conditions
Limits depend on the method you choose:
- EFT: minimum R50, processed within 24 hours of your request, subject to banking hours and settlement delays; South African bank accounts only
- Standard Bank Instant Money, FNB eWallet and ABSA Cash Send: minimum R100 per withdrawal

A cash voucher that is not collected after 30 days may be reversed and credited back to your account within 24 hours. Lucky Fish’s terms also allow it to charge a transaction fee on withdrawals, so check the amount shown before you confirm.
