Back Any Horse to Win the Durban July and Get Refunded if It Finishes Second
The 2026 Durban July is almost here, and World Sports Betting is giving punters an extra reason to get involved in South Africa’s biggest horse race.
With our Durban July 2nd Place Refund Promotion, you can back any horse to win and, if your selection finishes runner-up, you’ll receive your stake back as World Coins.
It’s extra protection for one of the most anticipated betting events of the year and could make all the difference if your runner is narrowly denied in the closing stages at Greyville.
Whether you’re backing the favourite, siding with an improving contender or taking a chance on a value outsider, WSB gives you another way to enjoy the action on Durban July day.
How the Durban July 2nd Place Refund Works
It’s simple.

Why This Promotion Matters
