How To Use Free Bets on Hollywoodbets
Like some betting sites in South Africa, Hollywoodbets offers the bonus of a free bet to existing users. This type of bonus is not available upon new registration, like in the sign-up bonus offer.
However, Hollywoodbets free bets do not last for a long time. They are usually short-lived. But for the sake of clarity, free bets are explained below.
A free bet bonus is the kind of offer a bookmaker gives in the form of free money. You receive the money from free bets, quite all right, but they can only be used to play bets on the site.
For each free bet given, it is stated in the terms and conditions of the games that the free money can be played. For instance, the bookmaker could decide whether the free bets promotion offer is to focus on horse racing or ice hockey.
Most importantly, free bets are not refundable. What this means is that once the free bet is given and it is used to wager based on the stated requirements, regardless of what the outcome of the wager is, the free bet balance does not come back.
In a scenario where the free bet brings an outcome of R200, the free bet balance is deducted from the win, and in a scenario where a loss is encountered, that ends it.
What Other Bonuses Do Hollywoodbets Offer?
Of course, the Sign-up bonus offered is eye-catching, but Hollywoodbets promo goes further than that. Allow us to show you the other promotions.
Referral Bonus
Hollywoodbets offers R50 to users that refer a successful friend. A friend in this context is someone who doesn’t have an Hollywoodbets account prior to you telling them about their services. And then they become a successful friend when they spend at least R75 placing bets.
This R50 referral bonus will only be credited into your account the moment your friend enters the successful friend status. And most importantly, you can withdraw the R50 whenever you wish.
When they are registering, make sure they input your phone number in the designated field on the signup page.
Hollywoodbets Birthday Bonus
Hollywoodbets’ birthday bonus is for existing players who have active accounts. On your birthday, Hollywoodbets gives you a bonus of R10 free bet, and if you deposit R100 or more on that day, you get a deposit bonus of R50.It is important that this bonus is not currently available. We will update you the moment the bonus is reinstated
Soccer Money Back
Hollywoodbets also has a promotion where you can win up to 10 times your stake back, capped at R1000. It is in three phases namely:
- Double Money Back: Here, you must have 8 or more markets on your bet slip. And the odds must be 5/1 or more. If all matches on your slip is a win, all the way to the last maket, Hollywoodbets will give you a refund of R1000.
- Five Money Back: This is only valid for slips with at least 11 markets. And the odds must be 10/1 or more. Like the former, if all matches in the slip, up to the last market are winners, the bookie will give you a R2000 refund.
- Ten Money Back: This is the highest of all three and can grant you a refund of up to R5000. The rules remain the same except that your slip must contain at least 15 markets with odds adding up to a minimum of 25/1.
Note that only 90 minute and three way bet applies to this bonus and scratched markets do not qualify.
Soccer Bonus Bonanza
This bonus applies to all soccer markets but not to manually scratched bets scratched at physical branches or placed through the call center.
