Hollywoodbets continues to be a popular sports betting site in South Africa. However, with new players signing up with the site every day, it is good to clarify some things about the withdrawal process.
This guide will go through some of the most common methods of withdrawing money from Hollywoodbets. More so, we will explain how to FICA your account, as Hollywoodbets withdrawals can’t be successful without this verification process.
The first step for withdrawal – FICA
As we mentioned, you must FICA your account to access your winnings. You may skip this stage and proceed to make a deposit and bet on various sporting events on offer. You may also claim the welcome bonus and take advantage of ongoing promotions. However, for Hollywoodbets payouts, the successful completion of FICA verification is required.
Visit the Hollywoodbets website and click the “Upload FICA Now” button. You will be redirected to the FICA self-service page.
1
You will be required to provide the necessary personal details.
2
Upload identification documents such as Passport, ID, and driver’s license.
3
Once you have entered the necessary data and uploaded the required documents, click the “Submit” button to complete the process.
Hollywoodbets accepts a range of withdrawal methods. Those with a bank account can request a Hollywood EFT withdrawal, as these are mostly processed on the same day.
On the other hand, those who don’t have a bank account may prefer using ABSA CashSend, FNB e-wallet, or Instant Money, among others. We have outlined all these methods in the table below.
How to withdraw money from Hollywood by ABSA Cash Send
This withdrawal process entails two steps. The first step is withdrawing funds from your Hollywood account into your phone number. The second step involves withdrawing from the respective ATMs of ABSA bank. First, we go through the steps of withdrawing funds from Hollywoodbets SA into your phone.
Go to the withdrawal section and select “CashSend to Cellphone.” Note that your mobile phone should already have been linked to your betting account.
1
In our case, it is ABSA bank. Also, enter the amount you wish to withdraw.
2
After confirming the transaction, your withdrawal request will start to be processed.
Now the second step is to withdraw the funds through the ATM. After processing the transaction, Hollywood bets will send you a 10-digit reference number via SMS.
Visit your nearest ABSA ATM and apply the 10-digit reference number followed by the access number “123456” to withdraw your funds. Note that you must complete the request within 24 hours; otherwise, the withdrawal will be invalid.
Players are reporting problems with ABSA CashSend withdrawals on Hollywoodbets, so we suggest using other withdrawal options instead. For more details, check out the comments section and our Reddit account.
How to withdraw money from Hollywoodbets by EFT
When you withdraw money through EFT, it will be deposited directly into your preferred bank account. To make Hollywood EFT withdrawals, just follow the steps below:
Go to the withdrawal section and select “EFT” as your preferred withdrawal method.
1
Proceed to give your banking details. Make sure that the name on your Hollywoodbets account tallies with the name on your bank account.
2
Specify the amount you want to withdraw.
3
Confirm the transaction, and your request will be queued.
The minimum amount you can withdraw is R50. Remember that most withdrawals are processed only from Monday to Friday. Otherwise, if you request a payout on Saturday or Sunday, it will be processed during work days.
The withdrawals are generally processed within 24–48 hours. If you wish to get your money earlier, walk into any nearest Hollywoodbets retail branches.
Are you having problems with your Hollywoodbets withdrawal?
In case you are experiencing problems with Hollywoodbets withdrawal or FICA documents submission, you should contact the customer support team. Their support is very friendly and will solve your issues in no time. You can reach them via the following channels:
It all depends on the payment method you have used. However, when you use EFT and CasSend channels, you will get your money within 24 hours.
The amount you can withdraw depends on the payment method you are using. For example, if you use EFT and ABSA CashSend, the minimum amount is R50 and R100, respectively. On the other hand, the maximum amount you can withdraw via ABSA CashSend is R3000.
Hollywoodbets EFT withdrawals are the most effective and quickest way to cash out your winnings. EFT withdrawals usually take 24 hours or less to be processed.
Sometimes, Hollywoodbets can reject your payout request if you don’t fulfill all the withdrawal terms and conditions. For example, Hollywoodbets will reject your withdrawal request if you haven’t completed FICA documentation or tried to withdraw below or above the amount threshold. Correcting these issues will get your withdrawal accepted.
Log in to your Hollywoodbets website via desktop, mobile phone, or app. Click on the ‘Account” tab at the top of the page. Then click on “Statement.” This is where you will pick a date on which you wish to check the history of withdrawals.
No. Hollywoodbets is legally required only to accept withdrawals if you have completed the FICA verification. To complete the FICA verification, you need documents like a driver’s license or National ID showing your address. You can send these documents to the FICA documents to fica@hollywood.net or use the Hollywood self-service portal.
You can reverse a Hollywood withdrawal request by contacting their customer support team. But that is if Hollywood has not released the funds into your account. Usually, at this stage, it is irreversible. That said, if you use Nedbank Send-iMali, the funds can be reversed to your account if you haven’t made a withdrawal within 48 hours.
Bottom line: Withdrawing money from Hollywoodbets
Cashing out your winnings from Hollywood bets is easy using any of the payment methods described above.
That said, the player’s favorite is definitely the EFT method due to the fact that you can make huge withdrawals that are processed reasonably on time.
Recently, we’ve been receiving a lot of messages from players who are experiencing delays or issues when trying to withdraw funds using ABSA CashSend on Hollywoodbets. We recommend that players consider alternative withdrawal methods instead or use the bookmakers in the future.
