Withdrawals start at R50 by EFT or to a 1Voucher, R100 by eWallet, Instant Money or Cash Send, and R200 by Nedbank Send-iMali. Cash at a branch also depends on the cash the outlet holds.
It says requests are processed within 24 hours on weekdays, and a bank transfer then takes 24 to 48 hours to clear. Its terms allow up to 72 hours for processing, so plan for three days plus the bank's clearing time.

Pros, cons and verdict
Choose Hollywoodbets for one account across its sportsbook and separate slot, crash and live lobbies, with deposits from R1 by instant EFT. Look elsewhere if you want SkyPilot, 3 China Pots or the original CricketX.
It is one of 8 brands we review licensed in more than one province. Its R1 minimum deposit is the lowest we have found at any brand we cover. It carries more of the games we review than any other brand: 184.
