HollywoodBets Casino Review
HollywoodBets is a South African company that has been successful in the region, but it may not have had much luck attracting European customers. In this review of their sportsbook, we’ll take a look at its merits and drawbacks and see if it’s worth using.
Pros & Cons
- You can withdraw money from your account without limit.
- The website is easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing.
- The brand is established and trusted by the public.
- New customers can't earn a welcome bonus.
- Customers are not offered 24/7 customer support.
- There are a few providers of casino games.
Design & Structure of the Casino
Hollywoodbets has a modern color scheme and attractive promotional images. The navigation on the site was easy to use, with links like ‘casino,’ ‘live casino’ and ‘promotions” located at the top of every page.
The casino page has several options that help you choose from among the many different games available. You can filter by provider (such as Microgaming or Playtech), game category (like slots or live dealer), favourite game type, or use the search box to find a specific title. Once you have logged in to your account, click on the icon of a person’s head that appears in the top-right corner after signing into your account .
Casino Games
Hollywoodbets offers a variety of slot machines, including those from Megaways and Mega Moolah. The casino also has several video poker games, blackjack, roulette and baccarat. There are other games – such as chess or cards – but they aren’t as popular as video games.
Hollywoodbets has a variety of games – including scratchcards and keno. You can bet real money here, or you can use bonus funds if available. Many of the games do accept low bets (often with minimums of 10 or 20 cents).
Hollywoodbets Game Portfolio
Hollywoodbets offers more than 500 casino games, including slots and table games. We’ll examine what each game entails and who developed the game – whether it qualifies for an enhanced review grade.
Software Providers
Hollywoodbets casino offers a great selection of slot games, provided by seven different software providers: Tom Horn, Relax Gaming, BF Games, Push Gaming (two divisions of Elk Group), and Microgaming. This casino is certainly well-recognised and boasts some top-quality titles with user-friendly features. The main casino also lists ‘Bet Games’ as a provider, although they only offer live games.
- BF Games
- Bet Games
- BetConstruct
- ELK Studios
- Hacksaw
- Microgaming
- Push Gaming
- Real Dealer
- Relax Gaming
- Tom Horn Gaming
Live Casino
Hollywoodbets offers live casino games, but two of the providers do not offer authentic casino experiences and therefore detract from the site’s reputation as a provider of quality gaming content. BetGames.TV broadcast their tables in a live dealer style and host several non-traditional casino games such as lotteries, war of bets, rock/paper/scissors, and wheel of fortune. Real Dealer games stick with your classic casino fare (roulette and baccarat), but their tables aren’t live like in a brick-and-mortar casino; they use pre-recorded footage combined with a computer algorithm that randomly selects what order to play the clips.
BetConstruct is the only live casino games provider with a lobby, providing a clear view of how many seats are available and what stakes per table there are. You can filter games by language – English, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, and Arabic are all available. During our Hollywoodbets casino review, we were impressed not only with the quality of video and audio but also by how friendly the dealers were.

Hollywoodbets Casino Bonus

Hollywoodbets’ anti-laundering policy requires that players make deposits equal to at least 70% of their current balance before withdrawing money. When possible, withdrawals should be made using the same payment method as used for depositing funds. Hollywoodbets generally processes withdrawal requests within 24 hours. However, it may take longer if you need to supply verification documents.

Mobile Casino App
Although it seems surprising that a well-known company such as Hollywoodbets has not yet released a mobile app, we are sure that this will change soon.
If you want to play games on your phone or tablet, or even if you just want to check out the menu on a mobile browser, we recommend visiting the Android or iOS app. Just search “Hollywoodbets” in the app store. In our review of Hollywoodbets casino, we examined how well it works on mobile devices. We were pleased with its good functionality and ease of use; pages loaded quickly and offered a wide range of games to play on smartphones or tablets.
Hollywoodbets uses fully functioning random number generators to ensure the security and fairness of its games. Independent agencies regularly test the games, and so are able to determine a game’s independent return-to-player (IRTP) percentage. You can view the RTP (return-to-player) percentage of most games at Hollywoodbets by clicking the ‘Casino RPT List’ in your account.
You can see that the Hollywoodbets site is secure by looking for a padlock icon in your browser’s URL bar. This indicates an encrypted connection with the game server.
Hollywoodbets affiliates receive up to a 30% share of net revenues and there is no negative carryover applied. If you prefer CPA or hybrid deals instead (where the company pays out monthly commissions), that option is available. And – because money talks! – for every other person who signs up under your account as an affiliate.
[/oblock][oblock type=”faq”]FAQs
Is Hollywoodbets Casino a scam?
HollywoodBets casino has a good reputation, with the UK Gambling Commission awarding them a “not protected” status. However, it should be noted that while this is a safe bet for UK customers, it still isn’t an ideal situation for players from other countries. Bookmakers can go bankrupt, and so players who deposit money at such sites may not get their cash back if the company goes under.
Hollywood Bets Casinos do offer a no deposit casino bonus.
The company has no such plans at this time.
Can I play Bitcoin casino games in this online casino?
We do not accept cryptocurrency payments.
Do you have bingo games on this site?
Hollywoodbets casino does not offer bingo, but it does have a game similar to keno: Hollywoodbingo. This free-to-play casino offers many other exciting games.
Where do I enter a Hollywoodbets promo code when making a bet?
If you have a welcome offer code that you would like applied automatically when you join Casino Erotica, enter it in the field below.
What should I do if I forget my login details?
If you forget your password, you can reset it by clicking ‘Sign in’ and then clicking ‘Forgot Password?’ This will prompt you to answer a security question. Then, Hollywoodbets will send you a link so that you can reset your password.
Is there a Hollywoodbets cash-out feature?
Yes, but only if you place bets on certain sporting events. We don’t offer this promotion at our casino.
Can I set a limit on how much I spend at the casino?
Yes, Hollywoodbets takes responsible gambling very seriously. We allow you to set different limits on your deposits and bets depending on whether you are betting at the sportsbook or casino. For all other restrictions, including deposit limits and time-outs – that apply across the site.
