Hollywoodbets - Delays with Exotic Payouts Race 7

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Please note that due to system issues with the scratching of Hawwaam (the favourite of the VDJ), we will only be able to pay out all the Quartets on Greyville Race 7, in all likelihood by tomorrow.

Swingers - NOW PAYING
Exactas - NOW PAYING
Trifectas ' NOW PAYING

Bets that are NOT paying on Race 7:

All fixed

Yes all bet types were completed last night at 23:31. Thank you to all the Hollywoodbets customers for your patience. Apologies again for the inconvenience caused.

Please note that at 23:31 last night all the bets struck on the 7th race at Hollywoodbets - the quartets, trifectas, swingers, exactas - as well as all multiples involving Hawwaam - were resulted completely and cleared.

We understand the frustration and aggravation this issue caused yesterday, and we completely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

It was the absolute worse-case scenario that could have happened - the Vodacom Durban July favourite being scratched at the start - and unfortunately the months and months of preparation we put into this massive race day did not prevent this issue from occurring.

Our team is already assembling today to identify the causes of this issue, and where it all went wrong.

We appreciate the overwhelming support that every customer gave us on this big day. Our customers make Hollywoodbets what it is, and we will do everything possible to get our systems right for you.

As trainer of the injured Hawwaam, Mike de Kock, said following the race: “We live to fight another day.”

Barring the main race episode as mentioned, I give Hollywood a big thumbs up... Really have progressed since the issues of 2018... Keep it up Dev and team.

I must say its was a massive sinking feeling when the announcement was made you could just hear this massive sigh from the crowd.
Its racing and we live to fight another day.

Having previously been a vocal critic of Hollywood a few years back for a shambles, I will say their ability to stand up to yesterdays mess admirable. Especially appreciate the timeous communication. For me that’s what it all about. I can deal with a lot of *rap in the service industry.. just let me know where I stand and I am mostly happy. Good job under the circumstances.

......and this afternoon Hollywood refused me to withdraw my winnings!

Waited 2 hours at your Boksburg branch trying to explain to who ever was on the other side of your authorisation department that I deposited 10 grand into my account on Thursday, got my 15% bonus, played it all on Friday on the Saturday July meetings at Greyville and Jozi...
I won back my 10 plus an additional 6k, some bright spark accused me of wanting to withdraw my bonus portion of my deposit...

I begged Hollywood to look at my account, my bets, my deposit, my winnings, without any luck, Hollywood staff did not understand the concept that punters place bets to make a profit, and then get the profit paid back to you....
Very frustrating trying to explain to the boffin on the other side of the line, begging them to please let me do my withdrawal, but to no avail, logic failed to kick in...

Hollywood Boksburg Manager, Nhlamuli Nkuna understood and he then fight my case further with his peers, and after 3hours in the store, someone saw the light.....

Thank you Nhlamuli, Kudu's for you...
Some Hollywood person just phone me, offering me a half hearted excuse...

Anybody from World Sports Betting reading this?.. I will like to open an account..
