Hollywoodbets says responsible betting is always the best bet
At Hollywoodbets, every month is responsible betting month
Hollywoodbets maintains that adhering to responsible betting practices is the optimal choice, as part of National Responsible Gambling Month in November. In collaboration with the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation (SARGF) and various national and provincial organizations, Hollywoodbets promotes awareness of potential betting problems and educates the public on responsible betting habits.
Kuhle Mkize, Hollywood Group's communications manager, emphasizes that responsible betting is always the best option, stressing that it's not merely about compliance, but essential for building a sustainable business and nurturing healthy communities. Hollywoodbets dedicates morning drive advertising to responsible betting messages, prominently displays SARGF contact information in its ads, and encourages players to view betting as entertainment rather than a means of income.
To facilitate responsible betting, Hollywoodbets advises setting personal limits on time and money spent and knowing when to take a break. The company provides cooling-off periods for online customers and enables self-exclusion across all licensed platforms through gambling boards. Hollywoodbets also extends support to the youth by partnering with the Hollywood Foundation to fund the SARGF’s Taking Risks Wisely Schools programme since 2023.
The initiative has reached over 250,000 learners and 7,800 teachers at more than 250 schools by the end of the 2025 financial year, and is set to expand to 25 tertiary institutions and 25 additional schools in 2027. Hollywood Foundation continues to fund SARGF counsellors in 2027, a program that has grown ten-fold in the past four years.
