How to Buy Hollywood Voucher with Airtime

by

Hollywood vouchers are a convenient way to add funds to your Hollywoodbets account for online betting.

While you can’t directly use airtime to purchase a voucher, here are three easy methods for buying one, catering to different preferences:

Method 1: Using Smartload USSD (For South African Mobile Users)

Important Note: This method only works for users with South African mobile numbers and access to the Smartload service.

  1. Open your phone’s dial pad and enter the code *130*678#. This will initiate the Smartload USSD service.
  2. Navigate the menu: You’ll see options like “My Account,” “Send Money,” and “Transfer and Buy.” Select “Transfer and Buy” using the corresponding number on your keypad (e.g., press “2” if “Transfer and Buy” is the second option).
  3. Choose “Hollywood Bets”: From the list of available merchants, find and select “Hollywood Bets” using the corresponding number.
  4. Pick your voucher: You’ll be presented with a list of various Hollywood voucher amounts. Choose the voucher that best suits your needs by entering the corresponding number displayed next to each option.
  5. Provide details (optional): Depending on the chosen voucher, you might need to enter the recipient’s phone number (if you’re buying for someone else) or simply display the voucher selection on your screen for confirmation.
  6. Enter your PIN: For security purposes, you’ll be prompted to enter your Smartload PIN. This is a unique code you set up when registering for Smartload. Remember to keep your PIN confidential and never share it with anyone.
  7. Confirm the transaction: Double-check all the details displayed, including the voucher amount and recipient (if applicable). Once everything is correct, confirm the transaction by following the on-screen instructions.

Method 2: Through Participating Retailers (Nationwide)

  1. Find a participating retailer: Over 96,000 retailers across South Africa sell OTT (Over-The-Counter) vouchers. These include popular stores like Shoprite, Shell, Boxer, and many more. You can find a list of participating retailers on the OTT website: https://www.ott.co.za/.
  2. Purchase an OTT voucher: Tell the cashier you want to buy an OTT voucher for Hollywoodbets. Choose the denomination (amount) you want to add to your account. You’ll pay the cashier the equivalent cash amount for the chosen voucher.
  3. Use the voucher code: The cashier will give you a receipt containing a unique voucher code. Use this code to top up your Hollywoodbets account online by following the instructions on the Hollywoodbets website.

Method 3: Online Purchase (For Everyone)

  1. Visit the OTTBuy page: Open your web browser and go to the OTTBuy page: [invalid URL removed].
  2. Enter your details: Choose the desired voucher amount from the dropdown menu. You can also enter your cell phone number (optional) if you want to receive the voucher code via SMS.
  3. Select your bank: Choose your bank from the list of available options.
  4. Make the payment: You’ll be redirected to your bank’s secure online payment portal to complete the transaction. Once the payment is processed successfully, you’ll receive the voucher code.
  5. Receive the code: Depending on your choice, you’ll receive the voucher code via SMS to your provided phone number or see it displayed on the OTTBuy website.

Additional Tips:

  • Before purchasing a voucher, make sure you know the minimum and maximum voucher amounts allowed by Hollywoodbets.
  • Keep your voucher code confidential and treat it like cash.
  • If you encounter any difficulties during the process, contact the Hollywoodbets customer support team or the OTT support team for assistance.
