Are you a fan of Hollywoodbets and want to share the excitement with your friends? Hollywoodbets offers a fantastic “Refer A Friend” bonus that rewards you with an R50 betting voucher for every friend you successfully bring to their platform!
It’s a win-win: your friends get to experience the thrill of online betting in South Africa, and you get rewarded for expanding the Hollywoodbets family.
Go through our guide to discover everything you need to know about the Hollywoodbets Refer A Friend bonus, including eligibility, how to claim, and the essential terms and conditions.
How the Hollywoodbets Refer A Friend Offer Works
The concept is simple:
- You (The Referrer), an existing Hollywoodbets customer, invite a friend to join.
- Your Friend (The Referee) signs up, makes a minimum deposit, and wagers that amount.
- You receive an R50 betting voucher as a thank you from Hollywoodbets!
Note that there is no criteria used to prove your friendship. A ‘Friend’ in this context is any person who does not have, and who has never possessed a Hollywoodbets account before.
That means you don’t have to ruffle through your contact list to refer every person you know!
Who is Eligible for the Refer A Friend Bonus?
To ensure a smooth referral process and successful bonus claim, both the referrer and the referred friend must meet specific criteria:
For the Referrer (You):
- Active Account: You must have an active Hollywoodbets account.
- FICA Compliant: Your Hollywoodbets account must be fully FICA compliant. This means your Identity Document and Proof of Address must be successfully uploaded and verified by Hollywoodbets.
- Good Standing: Your account should not be restricted due to irregular betting behaviour or any other violations of Hollywoodbets’ terms.
For the Referred Friend (Your Friend):
- New Customer Only: Your friend must be a brand-new Hollywoodbets customer. They cannot have previously registered an account with Hollywoodbets under any name or details.
- New Registration: They must open a new account online or via mobile, specifically through the unique referral link sent to them via SMS by Hollywoodbets.
- Minimum Deposit: They must make a minimum deposit of R50 into their new Hollywoodbets account.
- Wagering Requirement: They must wager the full R50 deposit (or more) in their account.
- FICA Compliant: Their new Hollywoodbets account must also become fully FICA compliant, with their Identity Document and Proof of Address successfully verified.

How to Claim Your R50 Bonus: A Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these steps to successfully refer a friend and claim your bonus:
For the Referrer (You):
- Log In to Hollywoodbets account: Gain access to your active account via the web browser or Hollywoodbets mobile app.
- Navigate to Refer A Friend: Look for the “Refer A Friend” or “Referrer Loyalty Bonus” section. This is usually found in your account menu or under promotions.
- Enter Friend’s Details: You will be prompted to enter your friend’s valid South African cell phone number.
- Send SMS: Once you submit the number, Hollywoodbets will send an SMS to your friend containing a unique link to register for a new account.
For Your Friend (The Referee):
- Receive SMS & Register: Your friend must click on the unique registration link sent via SMS and complete the new account registration process. It’s crucial they use this specific link.

- Wager the Deposit: Your friend must then place bets totalling R50 or more with their deposited funds.
- Complete FICA: Your friend must submit their FICA documents (ID and Proof of Address) to Hollywoodbets for verification. This is a critical step for both account activation and bonus eligibility.
Once all these conditions are met by your referred friend, Hollywoodbets will automatically credit your account with the R50 betting voucher.
Key Bonus Terms and Conditions
Understanding the terms and conditions is vital to successfully claiming and using your Refer A Friend bonus:
- Bonus Amount: The referrer receives an R50 betting voucher for each successful referral.
- Referee’s Role: The referred friend does not receive a bonus directly from this specific referral promotion, but gains a new betting account.
- New Customers Only: The referred friend must be a new Hollywoodbets customer and register through the unique link provided in the referral SMS.
- Deposit & Wagering: The referred friend must deposit a minimum of R50 and wager that full R50 (or more) before the referrer becomes eligible for the bonus.
- FICA Verification: Both the referrer’s and the referred friend’s accounts must be fully FICA compliant.
- Bonus Wagering Requirement: The R50 betting voucher you receive as a referrer is subject to a 1x wagering requirement before it can be withdrawn. This means you must bet the R50 bonus amount at least once.
- Minimum Odds for Bonus Wagering: The R50 bonus amount must be wagered on any sport or event with odds of 5/10 (0.5) or greater.
- Bonus Expiry: Once the R50 voucher is credited to your account, you generally have a limited time to use it. Based on Hollywoodbets’ standard bonus terms, vouchers often expire within 24 hours if not wagered. Always check the specific expiry date on your voucher once received.
- No Cash Exchange: The R50 voucher cannot be exchanged for cash directly. It must be used for betting purposes.
- Hollywoodbets’ Rights: Hollywoodbets reserves the right to terminate, alter, or suspend the promotion at any time without prior notice. Standard Hollywoodbets terms and conditions apply to all promotions.
- One Voucher Per Referral: You will receive one R50 voucher for each successfully referred friend who meets all the criteria.
Important Tips for a Smooth Referral
Here are things to remember for your referral bonus to go smoothly:
- Confirm Eligibility: Before sending the referral, ensure your friend is genuinely a new customer and willing to complete all the necessary steps (deposit, wager, FICA).
- Accurate Phone Number: Double-check that you enter your friend’s correct cell phone number to ensure they receive the unique registration link.
- Guide Your Friend: Explain the process clearly to your friend, especially the need to register via the SMS link, make the R50 deposit, wager it, and complete their FICA verification.
- Prompt FICA: Encourage your friend to complete their FICA verification as soon as possible after registration. This is often the step that causes delays.
- Monitor Your Bonus: Keep an eye on your Hollywoodbets account for the R50 voucher once your friend has completed all the requirements.
