Hollywood Sportsbook Guide – Everything You Need to Start Betting in South Africa

Hollywoodbets is the #1 online casino of choice for many South Africans, but it’s easy to forget that Sports was once their tour de force. When we all fell in love with Spina Zonke and other Casino Games, Sports Betting took a backseat for many punters. But all that hasn’t changed the undeniable fact that Hollywoodbets is still the leading sportsbook in the country. If you like to bet on soccer, horse racing, cricket, rugby, tennis and lots more, there’s no better place to sign up!

In this Hollywood Sportsbook Guide, we’ll take you through all the sports betting options available from odds and betting markets to powerful features such as Cash Out, Same Match Betbuilder and Book A Bet. For anything and everything sports betting related at Hollywoodbets – this is your guide!

How to register with Hollywood Sportsbook

To get started, visit the Hollywoodbets site on a computer or your phone using a web browser like Google Chrome. The website you need to go to is Hollywoodbets.net. Once there, click the green “Register” button at the top-right corner of your screen and fill in your details to register with Hollywood sportsbook. As a new customer, you’ll get a R25 Sign Up Bonus and 50 Free Spins once your account is activated! You can also find out more about what Hollywoodbets have to offer in our Hollywoodbets Review.

2. Enter your username and password in the boxes provided.
3. Click the “Login” button again to access your account. You’re successfully logged in when your account number and balance appear.

Hollywood Sportsbook Mobile

Honesty is always the best policy and we can’t say we’re in love with the Hollywood sportsbook interface. It’s a huge improvement from the old mobile website, but still pales in comparison to Betway for example.

But overall, the functionality and responsiveness of the Hollywood sportsbook mobile site are good. You can access all the Sports leagues and markets you need, while making use of account options such as deposits and withdrawals, as well as features like Cash Out. Sports are also available on the Hollywoodbets Data Free Mobile App, so you’ll always have access whether you have data on your phone or not!

Sports Betting Odds & Markets

Whether you’re a Formula One nut, a diehard fan of the EPL or follow ATP tennis religiously, the Hollywood sportsbook has a long list of sports available. Horse racing is also a big part of the Hollywood sportsbook, which deserves a guide all on its own!

But it’s not only the diverse sporting codes that make Hollywoodbets a fantastic site for betting on sports but also the huge selection of Pre-match and Live markets on the site. You can find competitive odds for markets such as Match Winner, Draw No Bet and Double Chance as well as Totals, Handicaps and much more! 

Live Sports Betting

The selection of odds and markets available on the Hollywoodbets sportsbook for Live Betting is impressive. Soccer, Tennis, Basketball and even Esports are all included as part of the Live Sports Betting package at Hollywoodbets. Even when betting on the PSL and other local international leagues, you can have your say about games while the action is already underway! Hollywoodbets makes Live Sports betting easy with a simple interface to help you get your wagers down quickly.
