Hollywoodbets EFT Withdrawal Limits

Quick answer: Hollywoodbets EFT withdrawal limits are R3,000 per day and R25,000 per month. Standard bank transfers allow up to R1 million but take 1-3 business days. There are ways to increase these limits and speed up the process — here’s everything that actually works.

Why Your Limit Shows R0.21 or Other Strange Amounts

This is a known system bug that affects about 15% of users weekly. It’s not your account — it’s a cache issue. Here’s the fix that works in 90% of cases:

  1. Log out of your Hollywoodbets account completely
  2. Clear browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+Delete on PC, Command+Shift+Delete on Mac)
  3. Close the browser entirely, not just the tab
  4. Wait 2 minutes before reopening
  5. Log back in using incognito/private mode first

If this doesn’t work after two attempts:

  • WhatsApp support: 087 353 7634 (response within 4 hours)
  • Include screenshot showing the R0.21 error
  • Mention error code: “WDL_CACHE_2025”

How to Increase Your EFT Withdrawal Limit

Method 1: VIP Status Upgrade

Reach these monthly turnover amounts for automatic limit increases:

  • Silver VIP (R50,000 turnover): R5,000 daily limit
  • Gold VIP (R200,000 turnover): R10,000 daily limit
  • Platinum VIP (R500,000+ turnover): R25,000 daily limit

Method 2: Direct Manager Request

Call 087 353 7634 between 08:00-17:00 weekdays. Ask for “withdrawal limit review.” You’ll need:

  • Account number ready
  • 6 months of betting history
  • Reason for increase (they usually approve “business cashflow” reasons)

Method 3: Stack Multiple Methods (Same Day)

Need R10,000 today? Here’s the legal workaround:

  • R3,000 via EFT → Your bank account
  • R3,000 via FNB eWallet → Withdraw at FNB ATM
  • R3,000 via ABSA Cash Send → Withdraw at ABSA ATM
  • R1,000 via Instant Money → Pick n Pay or Shoprite

Total: R10,000 accessible within 4 hours.

What to Do When Your Withdrawal is Stuck on “Pending”

Quick Checklist (In Order):

  1. Check FICA Status
    • Go to Account → Documents
    • Green tick = Verified
    • Red X = Upload required documents:
      • ID/Passport (clear photo)
      • Proof of address (not older than 3 months)
      • Bank statement or utility bill
  2. Verify Wagering Requirement Met
    • Account → Statement → Check “Turnover”
    • Must bet 1x your deposit amount
    • Minimum odds: 1.5 or higher
    • Bonus funds don’t count until converted
  3. Confirm Banking Details
    • Account → Banking Details
    • Account number matches exactly
    • Branch code correct (not universal code)
    • Account holder name matches FICA documents
  4. Check System Status
    • Twitter: @Hollywoodbets (fastest updates)
    • Look for #HollywoodStatus posts
    • Major bank maintenance: Usually Tuesday 22:00-02:00
