How to deposit via Ozow instant EFT
Ozow connects directly to most major SA bank accounts without requiring card details. Log in, navigate to Deposit, select Ozow, enter the amount. Hollywoodbets redirects to the Ozow payment page. Select the bank, authorise the payment. Funds appear immediately. Supported by ABSA, Standard Bank, FNB, Nedbank, Capitec, and most major SA banks.
How to deposit using 1Voucher
Purchase vouchers at Shoprite, Checkers, Pick n Pay, USave, and thousands of independent retailers, or via the 1Voucher app. Navigate to Deposit, select 1Voucher, enter the PIN and amount. Credits instantly. Remaining balance stays on the voucher if the deposit amount is less than the voucher value.
How to deposit using standard EFT
Log in, navigate to Deposit, select EFT, note the Hollywoodbets bank account number and reference number. Make the payment from online banking using the exact reference number. Funds clear within one to two business hours. The reference number is critical: missing or incorrect reference numbers cause EFTs to be unallocated. Contact details: Hollywoodbets contact page.
Cash deposits at branches
Any of the 500+ Hollywoodbets branches can process a cash deposit directly to the online account. Provide the account mobile number, hand over the cash, and the deposit reflects immediately. Branch list: Hollywoodbets branches guide.
