Hollywoodbets

What we like about Hollywoodbets 👍

Hollywoodbets have been around for a long time.

They’ve put in the time, and spent years correcting and perfecting their online betting platform.

From being the most popular betting operator in South Africa, to hosting features that can be found nowhere else, Hollywoodbets are an online betting force to be reckoned with.

• Most popular betting operator in SA

While we were compiling our research on which betting sites were worth their salt, we came across something very interesting.

Hollywoodbets was the most searched for online betting operator in South Africa by a country mile.

This may have to do with their unique offerings, or perhaps because each of their on the ground betting shops is fitted with a bar and restaurant, but one thing is for.

People love Hollywoodbets!

• Best range of Horse Racing options

Taking into account that Hollywood bets are named after Hollywood Park Racetrack in Los Angeles, USA, it is no wonder as to why they take their horse racing as seriously as they do.

Offering multiple events from racetracks in Australia, Japan, France, UK, Ireland, USA, and ofcourse South Africa, Hollywoodbets cover horse racing better than anyone else in South Africa.

• Unique features

Most betting sites have a set of features that accompany their sportsbooks, but many of these betting operators offer the same games as their competitors.

This is not the case with Hollywoodbets.

Offering features such as Golden Race, Sport Exotics, and providing their live games through a unique operator, you are bound to find something fresh on Hollywoodbets’ platform.

What we dislike Hollywodbets 👎

Even the most popular South African online betting site has its issues. Hollywoodbets do so much right, but like with all online betting operators, they could improve on certain things.

• Only offer one deposit method

Hollywoodbets only offer deposits via bank transfer. Users are able to credit their account via bank transfer, and can do so by making an EFT payment, by using an ATM, or making a payment at their local bank.

We found this to be quite surprising, and quite a shortfall as there are so many reliable and fast payment options available.

• Welcome bonus could be better

Hollywoodbets offer new users a R25 no deposit welcome bonus.

The upside to this is that users don’t have to deposit any money to start betting.

The downside however, is that there isn’t much one can do with R25 in free bets, and furthermore, Hollywoodbets only offer this bonus for 24 hours after you’ve signed up, so you’d better hurry and get betting once you’ve registered your account!

Hollywoodbets: The Bottom Line 👇

Hollywoodbets offer their users with a truly top of the range betting site. The new version of their website is informative, and a pleasure to interact and bet with.

Their high level of popularity makes sense considering all they have to offer.

Ranking as the 8th best gaming site in the world goes to show that Hollywoodbets mean business, and offer a service that can only be matched by a handful of other betting establishments.

We love to see a local business seeing so much success, and it won’t take you long to see why Hollywoodbets gets the recognition that it does.

Registering an account with Hollywood bets is a very simple and straightforward process that will take you no longer than maybe two minutes to complete.

As Hollywood bets have two websites, we’ve decided to present you with how to sign in to the new website, as it is clearer and easier to follow.

Below is a brief guide:

Hollywood bets do not require their users to FICA their accounts upon sign up.

This means that you will be able to begin your betting with them as soon as you’ve registered your account.

They do however require their users to send in their FICA documents and have them verified before they make any withdrawals.

Hollywoodbets offer all of their new users a R25 no deposit bonus when they sign up, which needs to be used within 24 hours of it being credited.

Based on our research and review of online betting sites in South Africa, this welcome bonus could be better.

Seeing as welcome bonuses are kind of like first impressions, we expect an online betting site of Hollywoodbets’ reputation to offer something a little more.

Hollywoodbets host a decent sportsbook that provides coverage of over 20 different sporting disciplines.

This is more than enough to keep a large cohort of punters happy, and will ensure premium satisfaction if you like wagering on a number of different sports.

If you’re soccer fan and love to follow Europe’s top flight, but also have an interest in baseball and American football, Hollywoodbets have you covered.

One of Hollywoodbets’ shining attributes is the features they host on their platform.

Found under the Live in Play tab on their website, Hollywoodbets offer a unique live betting feature that is a fresh addition to their website. With Hollywoodbets, you need to select the sport you are interested in live betting on, and then select the event

Hollywoodbets only allow you to view one event at a time, because as you select another event, the old event tab is minimised. This is made up for however with a mini visual representation of the event unfolding, and players further have the option to view stats, time elapsed, previous meetings, and more.

Live Games ♦️

Hollywoodbets offer users an incredible variety of live games.

We were blown away by the sheer number of options users have available to them if live games are what they're looking for.

The reason Hollywoodbets offer so many live games is because they partner with two gaming providers.

Players can choose from Roulette, BlackJack, Baccarat and Sic Bo, Dice, Poker and Game Shows, and within each of these, the options are endless.

Live Instant Win 🔢

Live Instant Win refers to Hollywoodbets’ provision of a lucky numbers game that offers users more draws, that run 24/7.

With the ability to place bets in four different studios, each with a host of options to wager upon, this option will ensure users with a taste for lucky numbers the ultimate experience.

With minimum bets of less than a rand, what is there to lose?

Golden Race 🥇

Golden race is another tab that holds opportunities for players to win big on live games. Here, users are provided with Mega 7, Keno, Spin 2 Wheels, and Super 7.

The games available in this tab differ slightly in their layout and aesthetic, but promise new, fresh opportunities to win big.

Sports Exotics 🌴

Exotic bets refer to different types of multi bets you can place that can lead to the winnings of large accumulative payouts.

These are popular in horse racing, but Hollywoodbets have extended this to sports in this feature. Users can choose from Soccer Specials, Soccer Pot, HollySixa, and Score Specials.

With regards to promotions, Hollywoodbets excel in the variety of options they offer their users to win.
