Payout limits apply to Win, Place, Swinger, Exacta, Trifecta, Quartet, Double, Place Accumulator, Jackpot, Pick 3, Bipot, Pick 6, Mixa Bets, Rugby Special, Score Special. Soccer GG, Soccer Pot, Soccer Special, Starting Price, All-to-Come and Yankee type bets. Pay-outs will be limited to the lower of the pool limit and the limits as detailed above.

Examples:
  • If Hollywoodbets lays a Jackpot that pays R970 000 to a R1 unit and a customer catches it once (100%), the full dividend will be paid.
  • If Hollywoodbets lays a customer 4 tickets totalling 5 full Pick 6s that pays R2 400 000 to a R1 unit, with a net pool of R4m, the pool limit will apply. The pool limit is R4m. This payout will be limited in terms of the preceding paragraphs which declare that the maximum amount that any single customer (directly or indirectly) may win from any bet or bets placed with Hollywoodbets on any one day, irrespective of the stakes in respect thereof or the terms of that bet, is subject always to a maximum of R1 000 000.00 (one million rand) per customer per day save in respect of a Pick 6 Open Bet in which event the maximum payout limit shall be R15 000 000.00 (fifteen million rand) per customer per day. This scenario shall be limited to a R4m payout.
  • If Hollywoodbets lays a customer a Pick 6 ticket where the pool was R16,5m and the payout was R16 500 000 to a R1 unit, then the payout limit shall be R15 000 000.
  • If Hollywoodbets lays a customer a Pick 6 ticket winning R1.2m and additional winning bets (not Pick 6s) totalling R500 000, then the payout limit shall be R1.2m only.
  • If Hollywoodbets lays a customer a Pick 6 ticket winning R700 000 and additional winning bets (not Pick 6s) totalling R500 000, then the payout limit shall be R1m only.
  • If Hollywoodbets lays a customer tickets totalling 20% of a Pick 6 that pays R3 400 000 to a R1 unit, the payout will be R680 000 (being 20% of R3.4m).
Open Bet Limit (local and int where the net pools are below R1 000 000)

An open bet is a bet offered by Hollywoodbets on one or more events in which no fixed odds are agreed at the time the bet is placed and the winnings and therefore the payout is determined after the outcome of the event on which such bet was struck becomes known, with reference to dividends generated by a totalisator.

If a number of bets containing the same selections are placed by more than one customer, and Hollywoodbets has reason to believe that these bets originated from or were placed on behalf of the same customer, syndicate of customers or any group of people acting in conjunction with each other as may be determined by Hollywoodbets in its sole discretion, Hollywoodbets reserves the right to limit the total winnings payable in respect thereof to the Pool Limit.

Winning limits shall also apply to Win, Place, Swinger, Exacta, Trifecta, Quartet, Double, Place Accumulator, Jackpot, Pick 3, Bipot, Pick 6, Mixa bets, Rugby Special, Score Special, Soccer GG, Soccer Pot and Soccer Special. The maximum winnings in respect thereof will be limited to THE TOTAL NET POOL LIMIT of the local SAFTOTE pool.

By way of example, if the total available pool on an Exacta is R2 500, then this is maximum payout that may be distributed to a customer who has selected the winning combination/s regardless of the stakes or the number of tickets. If Hollywoodbets laid 1000 winning Exactas to a customer and the Saftote dividend was R 3.50, Hollywoodbets would limit the payout to pay the Pool Limit of R2 500.

The open bet pay-outs will be limited by the number of dividends being paid by the totalisator. The totalisator pools will be divided by the number of open bet dividends paying for that race. Therefore, if a race is paying 4 places, the totalisator place pool will be divided by 4 and that value shall be applied to each placing as a limit.

By way of an example, if the net swinger pool is R3 000 and there are 3 swingers to be paid, the net pool for each swinger will be R1 000 (R3000/3 swingers) and this shall be the open bet limit applied. Therefore, if swingers are caught by a customer with Hollywoodbets, and the total payout is R1 300, this payout will be limited to R1 000. The same applies to all open bets.

Open Win and Open Place Limits

Notwithstanding the pool size, Hollywoodbets reserves its right to limit the odds payable on open wins and open places to a maximum of 50% over the fixed odds starting price of the horse (being the last price laid by Hollywoodbets). The payout limit will be the lesser of the Saftote pool size and the value of the stake applied at the odds limit.

By way of example, if a horse has a starting price of 2/1 and pays R5 for a win (odds of 4/1) on the totalisator (where the pool size was R15 000) and a customer has R1 000 wins, then the payout will be limited to odds of 3/1. Should a customer have had R5 000 wins on the horse then the maximum win amount will be the pool size.

Carryovers

Should there be no winning tickets on any pool on the Saftote Totalisator (i.e. a full carryover) but winning tickets at Hollywoodbets, Hollywoodbets will pay a dividend determined by dividing the Totalisator pool by the number of Hollywoodbets winners. Hollywoodbets’ maximum liability, in totality, to customers shall be limited to the pool. These dividends and pay-outs will be subject to the overriding daily payout limit.

Where a partial carryover is declared by the Saftote Totalisator on an open bet, on non-commingled pools, Hollywoodbets shall pay its winning customers based on the value of the total pool. Hollywoodbets’ maximum liability shall be limited to the total pool. These dividends and pay-outs will be subject to the overriding daily payout limit.

By way of example, if a Pick 6 pool is R1.5m and only a 10% winner is declared with a dividend of R150 000 and a carryover of R1 350 000 is declared, then Hollywoodbets’ customers’ winning bets shall be based on the pool of R1.5m and the maximum liability in totality to all customers shall be limited to the value of the pool.

Where a partial carryover is declared by the Saftote Totalisator on an open bet on commingled pools on international races, Hollywoodbets shall pay the dividend declared. However, the liability shall be limited to the value of the pool paid out and NOT the value of the total pool.

By way of example, if a commingled Trifecta pool is R10 000 on an English event and a dividend of R700 is declared to 6 winners locally (total payout R4 200) and a carryover of R5 800 is declared, then Hollywoodbets’ maximum liability to any customer shall be limited to the value of the payout being R4 200.

What is a tote bet?


A tote bet is a bet that involves you betting into a pool where your winnings are calculated by the amount of money in the pool divided by the winners.

The TabGold tote bet was recently integrated into Hollywoodbets’ online betting platforms. This feature gives you the option to take any horse racing bet through the tote. It must noted that all money that you bet on when on the tote option goes straight into the pools!

Tote Bet


When switching over to the tote with the button provided on the Hollywoodbets website and mobisite, you now can take a bet where the payout is limited to the rules stipulated by the TabGold website.

Difference between Open Bet and Tote Bet
An Open Bet is a tote/TAB type bet taken with a bookmaker. The bookmaker – in this case, Hollywoodbets – lays the bet, and pays the dividend as declared by the tote on the winning combinations.

No fixed odds are agreed at the time the bet is placed. The winnings and therefore the payout is determined after the outcome of the event on which the open bet was struck becomes known, with reference to the dividends generated by the totalizator.

Tote betting works by a player betting into a cumulative pool that also includes other punters. The payout is then shared among all of the winning players – this is referred to as a dividend. Remember that the total amount that gets paid out is determined by the number of people who won the pot.

In the event that a customer transacts a number of individual betting transactions which either constitute the same betting transactions and/or similar ones then these will be treated by Hollywoodbets, at any time either before, during and/or after any one or more of the sporting events has occurred, as constituting one combined betting transaction. In the event, and as a result of the combining of the betting transactions, it should transpire that the maximum payout limit amount is exceeded, then Hollywoodbets shall be entitled to adjust the betting transaction (combined) to bring same within the maximum payout limit and if necessary, Hollywoodbets shall be entitled to void all betting transactions and to replace same with a single betting transaction.

If a number of bets containing the same selections are placed by more than one customer and Hollywoodbets has reason to believe that these bets originated from or were placed on behalf of the same customer, syndicate of customers or any group of people acting in conjunction with each other as may be determined by Hollywoodbets in its sole discretion, Hollywoodbets reserves the right to limit the total winnings payable in respect thereof to the maximum amount that a single customer may win on one day’s trading, being the lesser of the value in the table below or R1 000 000.00, save in respect of the five exceptions as aforesaid. Hollywoodbets, in its sole discretion, shall determine if a bet has been placed by a nominee or on behalf of a single customer and Hollywoodbets’ decision in that regard shall be final and binding.

Where bets have been placed on different days in respect of an event or events held on the same day, the maximum amount that one customer may win on one day’s trading is determined by the day that the final event/market is resolved, and not on the individual day on which each bet was placed and accordingly limited to the lesser of the maximum amount displayed in the table below or R1 000 000.00 per customer per day per event, save in respect of the five exceptions as aforesaid.

Notwithstanding the aforesaid daily limit, where the selection of multiple bets is made from the different categories listed in the maximum winnings table below, the lowest daily maximum winnings recorded in the table below will apply.

Where a soccer multiple has 6 or more legs but also includes an event from another sport or horse racing, such multiple shall fall within the maximum winning category of that sport or horse racing but the maximum winnings shall not exceed R1 000 000.00 (one million rand). The same shall apply in respect of bets including the exceptions on Lucky Numbas and Powa Numbas as above.

Any increases to the prescribed winning limits will be considered, on application by you, on an individual bet basis at the time each bet is placed, and you should contact Hollywoodbets’ Call Centre (08600-HOLLY or 08600 – 46559) or the Manager of the outlet concerned, for assistance.

Any bet placed by a customer in excess of the payout limit will be accepted, whether they are winning or losing bets, and paid out subject to the payout limits prescribed. The onus is on you, the customer, to ensure that bets taken fall within the generic payout limits or individual limits assigned to your account. In the event that the win limit impositions, as indicated hereinunder, are exceeded, for any reason whatsoever, then Hollywoodbets shall be entitled, at any time, to amend the betting transaction/s concerned in order to bring same within the win limit imposition/s – Hollywoodbets shall furthermore have the right to reverse any amount that has been credited to a client’s account and where necessary to credit the account with the correct amount, which crediting is necessary as a result of the amendment of a betting transaction to bring it within the imposed win limit amount. The amendment of the betting transaction, to bring it within the win limit imposition, shall be such that the odds are amended to ensure the limit is not breached. By way of example, if a horse racing treble bet is taken (by whatever means) in the value R400 000/1000 (odds 400/1), such bet shall be amended to R200 000/1000 (odds 200/1), where the win limit imposition is R200 000 only.
