I am completely disgusted with Hollywoodbets.The win frequencies and returns on this platform are atrocious,it feels like a million to one ratio where you just bleed money and never see a fair return.But their customer service is an absolute joke. I have been trying to get a statement of my total lifetime wagering amount for TWO MONTHS.Other decent casinos have a transparent tab where you can trac…

This site is an absolute SCAM.
WARNING ⚠️ Do not use this gambling site.
They are happy to take your money.... but can not give you any payout of any form. I have been in several games that I win money and when it is time for payout the game throws you out and 'loses connection '. When you sign back in all your money is gone.
If you are looking for a site to waste money on..... this is it!

They have stolen over R700 from me over the past few days, you win nothing your funds just keep going down, no chance of winning, then they lie to you and say it's all random, if it was random then you would win something now and then but nothing the whole time.

You play over a 100 games or spins, you are lucky you might get 10-30% back, what is worse, playing the lotto or playing this?

I have played on many sites and most of them have 2 things in common. They have cash out offers for sportsbets and they have the option to close or delete your account permanently. Many of them also offer good odds. Hollywoodbets however, offer none of these. Every single game on this site is bad and with all the complaints, why are the government, the gambling board and the media not investigatin…

I've been a customer for over 10 years now, reason being the lay out of the platform was simply and straight forward. I HATE THIS NEW PLATFORM OR SITE. If something is working just fine, you don't change it.

On Saturday 23th May2026 I withdrew using their Nedbank cash send imali.Since then my request has been pending until today.
I have emailed and even reported the issue on their live chat everyday and the only response I have got is that 'the issue will be escalated to the higher department ' but still no change.
I only asked for that money to be reversed back to my Hollywoodbets account or send m…

I had a problem with the company on payment, they wanted a proof of address, I tried so many times to upload and was rejected yet it was legit and from the bank. I don't know why they react that way. At the end everything came ok They must imorove their system.

The biggest online betting site that scams the gambler out of his money. Most people addicted to gambling are the poorer people trying to make a few extra rands. They target a few games where they might have been lucky in the past. But unfortunately the algorithm is such that the person will continue trying to recover his money. I know they put up a slogan that says " Gambling is an addiction, bla…

I would really advise people not to play Hollywoodbets.
They really scam people. Once you srtart winning or you can see that there is a good play the game freezes, goes out then back again with a whole different screen. Then it just takes your money. on every game it gives you 1 kinda bigger win and then it takes it all.
Gambling Is not good for you and I know its advised again but I do it f…

Been a member for many years. Of recent seems like it's all rigged, speaking from experience. Mystic fortune is rigged and it's so obvious because it's visible when it freezes and u can see what was supposed to land yet it blinks n completely different set appears. Gives errors like cannot communicate with wallet or just kicks u out the games. In the past atleast the games will give a little and t…

Horrific experience!!!
My account has been under Audit for the last 6 MONTHS WITHOUT ANY FIX TO THE SITUATION. As much as I try to resolve the issue, the HOLLYWOOD BETS CONSULTANTS either lie or send an automated response to excuse themselves from not completing their work.
I have physical proof of emails Clearly stating that my account will be activated within 48hrs to no avail.

Hollywoodbets is the worst.
They have rigid all games it does not give the feature, You can play hundreds of rands and you will not get the feature.
Everytime I add money to Hollywoodbets they rob me, if I put R50 my balance will reflect has R49.
This is one of the most pathetic sites.

Hollywood Bets are not inconsistent.
Hollywood Bets are not consistent with their prices.
Had a terrible experience in a USA Racing bet.
Hope not to deal with Hollywoobets in future.
Lodged complaints fall on deaf ears.
You will never be listened to with your raised concern.
You ask to speak to a Manager and a staff instead is shoved at you to deal with the short comming.
Horrific experience.

Pathetic service from both support agents that are arrogant and utterly useless just as the managers of Hollywoodbets. They can't assist with minor or small problems yet too fast to take everyones money.
DON'T EVER USE HOLLYWOODBETS USE BETWAY or 1WIN if you want to make money.

Hollywood bets is scam. They fool you into believing you can win a jackpot on selected days. I have played on jackpot days and times advised by the company. They trick into playing double your bet to get a trigger feature. But the feature never comes. I have lost more money than I can count. Winners know when to stop. Sure if we actually won something !!!!
Playing R5 a spin and winning 30cents is …

Hollywoodbets claim that their games run on a RNG (Random Number Generator), someone needs to investigate this claim. When you are supposed to win the game shuts down or claim that you have no internet connection...this is Bullshit and they get away with it...if this site is governed by the Western Cape gambling board they are just as corrupt.Do not waste your money on this site...it will let you …
