No one could manage to become one of South Africa’s leading betting brands by accident. The Hollywood Bets rise to the top is a result of listening to their target audience, offering quality products and their competitive odds. Although Hollywoodbets have many physical stores located across South Africa, many players prefer to place their bets online on their website. Should you wish to find out how you can place a bet on Hollywoodbets yourself, keep reading this helpful beginner’s guide.

How to Bet on Hollywoodbets

How to Place a Bet on Soccer

With soccer being the most popular sport for betting, it is naturally something Hollywoodbets covers extensively. To find the league or cup you are after, first select from the list of countries provided on the soccer page. Doing so will bring up a full list of competitions taking place within that nation. If you wish to browse multiple competitions, click the small white box to create a customised coupon.

Whether you have created a coupon or selected just one competition, you will see a relevant list of upcoming fixtures. Clicking the ‘more’ button will show you all the available markets for that game. As default, users see the ‘full time’ match odds across fixtures but you can change this by selecting another market from the drop-down menu.

No matter if you want to make a single or multiple football bet, clicking the odds will add it to the slip. From here you can then select how much you want to wager, which will calculate the potential payout.

To access season-long bets, on the soccer landing page, next to where it says ‘match betting’ simply click ‘outright’ instead. Doing so will unlock season-long markets such as league winner, to be relegated, to finish in top four and to reach the final.

How to Place a Bet on Lucky Numbers

Thanks to Lucky Numbers, Hollywoodbets customers have the option of betting on lotteries taking place all over the world. The reason why Hollywoodbets can offer such an extensive collection is that they are not selling tickets, rather enabling punters to bet on the outcome.

This means placing bets at fixed odds, so you know exactly what your returns will be if your prediction is correct. For some customers this is ideal as it allows them to place a bet that suits their desired level of risk.

The downside of not being part of the draw itself is that you will not be in with a chance to win the jackpot prize. Your potential winnings are fixed and Hollywoodbets payouts cannot match those that an actual lottery winner might receive.

Should you still wish to give it a go, simply click on a lottery from the full list. You can either search by ‘today’ or ‘future’. On the page, select which number(s) you wish to bet on (usually between one and five) from either the main set & bonus, or bonus tab. When happy with your picks, click the purple ‘bet’ button to add it to your betting slip, then select your desired stake.

How to Place a Bet on Spina Zonke

Within the Spina Zonke page at Hollywoodbets you will find a collection of over 350 mobile compatible slots, some of which require just 15 cents to play. These often visually stimulating games come from top developers in the business including Habanero, Pragmatic Play, Evolution, Yggdrasil and Pariplay. Although many are standard slots in the sense they have no shared jackpot, Hollywoodbets does boast a very sizeable selection of progressive jackpot games here too.

Spina Zonke games can differ in their bonuses, features and paylines but they do generally follow the same format in terms of placing your bet. Each game has an adjustable ‘coin level’ which will determine the cost of each spin. You can manually adjust this to suit your own preferences. In all cases the actual Rand value of the bet will appear on the screen (for example a 15-pay line game with a 0.20 coin value would cost R3).

On these games there is the option of ‘auto play’ should you wish to sit back and spectate. Selecting this will perform spins for you until you tell it to stop. Otherwise, you will need to confirm your spin each time, usually by clicking the play button symbol (or similar).

How to Place a Bet on BetGames

Knowing how to bet online at Hollywoodbets opens extra possibilities that you would not get betting in-store. One of these extras is the selection of online-exclusive BetGames, which effectively provide something of a live casino experience. Within BetGames, users can select from more than 10 games ranging from casino classics (baccarat, poker etc.) to lottery games (lucky 5, lucky 6) to more modern creations such as Wheel of Fortune.

Each game features a timer indicating when the next round will be taking place. During this wait punters can place their bets for the upcoming round from the range of available options. Some games enable punters to bet mid-way through too, e.g. War of Bets, after the player’s card has been revealed, but this is not always the case.

Regardless of when you are betting, or on what game, you just need to make a selection from the list of bets under the stream. This will add it to your bet slip in the bottom right corner. Once done, select your stake by either clicking the numbers or by typing your own figure.

How to Check Your Bets on Hollywoodbets

Knowing how to check your bets on Hollywoodbets is the easiest way of finding out if you picked a winner or not. Our full guide to checking your bets is available below but for a brief summary, you just need to follow the steps below.

Also, you can always book a bet online, get a reference number and share it or check it in-store later.

Difference between desktop and mobile betting

There is not a big difference between the mobile and desktop experience on this site. Their Android Hollywoodbets Data Free mobile app provides many of the same games and markets you can access on the desktop site. The layout can differ slightly at times, for example the location of the betting slip, but the basic structure remains the same across both. This makes it very easy to switch between mobile and desktop site.

Although its more compact size can make mobile betting a little slower, you do have the huge benefit of being able to bet when on the move. All you need is a mobile data or Wi-Fi connection and you will be able to place bets.
