EFT deposit on Hollywoodbets
EFT is the most widely used Hollywoodbets deposit method. Two options are available: instant EFT via Ozow (which links directly to online banking and reflects immediately), and standard EFT using the Hollywoodbets bank details (which takes 1–2 business days to clear). Instant EFT via Ozow is recommended for same-session betting — funds are available within seconds of approval in the banking portal.
To deposit via Ozow: log in, go to My Account > Deposit > EFT (Instant/Ozow), select the bank, enter the amount, and complete the transaction via the banking interface. The deposit reflects immediately in the Hollywoodbets wallet.
1Voucher and OTT voucher deposits
1Voucher and OTT are prepaid voucher systems sold at retailers across South Africa including Pick n Pay, Boxer, Checkers, and SPAR. Vouchers are purchased with cash at the till point and generate a PIN. To deposit: log in, go to My Account > Deposit > 1Voucher or OTT, enter the voucher PIN, and the balance is credited instantly. No bank account or card is required, making this the preferred deposit method for users without online banking access. Minimum voucher value is R10.
How to convert airtime to a Hollywoodbets voucher
Bettors on South African mobile networks can convert airtime to a Hollywoodbets-compatible voucher through network-specific USSD airtime conversion services. This is useful for users who have airtime available but cannot access a voucher retailer.
Vodacom airtime to voucher: Dial *135*9# and follow the prompts to convert airtime to an OTT or 1Voucher PIN. Select the amount, confirm, and receive the voucher PIN via SMS. The conversion fee is applied by Vodacom — typically around 10% of the voucher value. Enter the PIN in Hollywoodbets under My Account > Deposit > OTT or 1Voucher.
MTN airtime to voucher: Use the MTN MoMo app or dial the MTN USSD shortcode for airtime-to-voucher conversion (check current MTN codes at mtn.co.za as these change). MTN airtime can also be converted through third-party services like Kazang. A conversion fee applies.
Cell C and Telkom: Airtime-to-voucher conversion is available via USSD on Cell C and Telkom — dial the respective shortcode to convert. Check with the network provider for the current USSD code and conversion fee.
Once the voucher PIN is received via SMS, deposit it on Hollywoodbets immediately — airtime-derived voucher PINs have short expiry windows (typically 24 hours). The conversion fee is charged by the mobile network, not by Hollywoodbets.
Hollywoodbets branch cash deposit
Cash deposits are accepted at any Hollywoodbets branch across South Africa. Provide the account mobile number at the teller window, hand over the cash, and the deposit is credited to the wallet immediately. Branch deposits are useful for large cash amounts and for users who prefer in-person transactions. Branch locations by province are listed on the Hollywoodbets branches page.
