Explanation of Complex Terms

Understanding the legal and operational terminology within our Terms & Conditions is essential for clarity and confidence in using our services. Don't let complex terms deter you; knowledge is empowerment!

Here are a few key terms explained simply to help you fully comprehend our legal framework.

FICA (Financial Intelligence Centre Act): This is South African legislation that requires financial institutions and gambling operators to verify the identity and address of their customers. This is a mandatory step during your Registeration process to combat money laundering and other financial crimes.

Wagering Requirements: These are conditions attached to bonuses and promotions, specifying how many times you must bet the bonus amount (and sometimes the deposit) before you can withdraw any winnings derived from it. For example, a 10x wagering requirement on a R100 bonus means you must place R1000 in bets.

Jurisdiction: Refers to the legal authority and geographical area over which a court or government body has control. For Hollywoodbets, our operations and legal disputes are typically governed by the laws and courts of South Africa, where we are licensed.
