HOLLYWOODBETS REVIEW
Hollywoodbets is the biggest online betting platform in South Africa, certainly the most recognisable brand. They have their online Sportsbook and casino, and they have over 100 retail branches across South Africa. They were the first SA Bookmaker to offer their clients Slot games, in the form of Spina Zonke.
When searching for and choosing the right online betting platform, your safest bet is to go with one of the bigger brands, and Hollywoodbets is certainly that. On their website they offer sports betting, casino games, live casino games, scratch cards and over 500 slot games to choose from. Hollywoodbets offer a standard R25 no deposit sign-up bonus, and 50 free spins on the popular Spina Zonke!
NEW DESKTOP SITE
Hollywoodbets have recently revamped their desktop website and removed the old out-dated one. The two of us involved in preparing this review are both long-term Hollywoodbets clients, and at first the change was difficult, but most changes are at first, but now that we are more experienced with the new site, it is a massive improvement.
WITHDRAWALS
As we are discussing the most trusted and safest websites for you to bet on, we thought it was very important to have withdrawals at the top of the review, as this is what is most important question for anyone trying a new website, are we going to get paid, and how quickly. This is where Hollywood shine, not only can you rest assured you will get paid, they are the fasted paying bookmaker I have ever dealt with. We have done withdrawls that have taken less than 2 minutes to reflect in our account. Please don’t take this as a given, as that was a best case scenario, but in general they are the fastest.

HOLLYWOODBETS AVIATOR
The Aviator game is very addictive, I would explain it as taking a dip on the Stock Exchange at a million miles an hour! The object of the game is to cash out your bets before the plane flies away, and you can win huge amounts for a very little outlay if you have the guts to let the plane fly without cashing out! Be careful when playing this game, make sure you have a good Internet connection, because if it buffers the plane could fly away without you having chance to cash-out. We experienced other issues with Aviator on a few different sites, but in all cases it was the fault of the game, not the betting site itself, and we waited for 2 weeks for a refund on a bet struck that gave an error but still took the money, but that was on another website.
Having said that, Spribe has improved the quality of the game and it is been very good to play of late, we haven't experienced any errors. In-fact we have witnessed people winning millions with our own eyes. As you can see in the image below, Aviator is based on cryptographic technology called "Provably Fair", which guarantees a fair game every round.
