The Hollywoodbets Durban July 2025 edition of the Punters’ Challenge is the biggest ever, giving punters across South Africa a golden opportunity to win massive cash prizes for free, including a guaranteed R750,000 in leaderboard payouts and a jackpot prize of up to R20 million for anyone who can successfully tip all the winners on the card.

How It Works
Entry is completely free for Hollywoodbets account holders. Once you’ve signed in, submit your selections for each race on the Durban July 2025 racecard at least five minutes before the first race starts. Once submitted, your selections will accumulate points based on race results. The more winners you tip, the higher you climb on the leaderboard.
What’s Up for Grabs
R250,000 Leaderboard Prize
The Top 100 players on the day will share R250,000 in cash, with the overall leaderboard winner pocketing R70,000.
R500,000 “Must Be Won” Prize
The player(s) who tip the most winners on the day, regardless of odds or points, will split a guaranteed R500,000. If there’s a tie, the prize is shared.
Up to R20 Million Jackpot
If you manage to correctly select all the winners on the day, you win the Jackpot Prize:
- R10 million by default
- Doubled to R20 million if you place a bet of R100 or more using the Punters’ Challenge Bet Slip before Race 1
Boost Your Winnings
Make a R100 or more bet on the Durban July race meeting using the Challenge Bet Slip, and your leaderboard prize winnings will be multiplied by five (x5).
For example:
- 1st place becomes R350,000 instead of R70,000
- 10th place becomes R20,000 instead of R4,000
- 50th place becomes R5,000 instead of R1,000
