Our Verdict
Start with the race and the bet type, not the welcome cap. Hollywoodbets suits a racing-and-numbers account; World Sports Betting is worth checking for its racing and live-streaming options. Compare the same runner under the same settlement terms, because an overall site score doesn't tell you today's better price.
Account features: World Sports Betting
World Sports Betting combines horse racing with football, rugby and cricket, plus live streaming and mobile apps. The R20,000 bonus cap is large, but the 100% rate is the useful comparison for a smaller qualifying deposit.
Watch out for
Don't choose extra bets to work through a bonus. Compare the offer's wagering, eligible markets and expiry with the betting you already intended to do.
Account features: Hollywoodbets
Hollywoodbets combines horse racing with football, rugby and cricket, plus Lucky Numbers and numbers betting. It has iOS and Android access and a R5 account minimum; the welcome offer is smaller than many deposit-match packages.
Watch out for
The case for Hollywoodbets is its account and racing coverage, not a large welcome match. Compare the products you will use before giving weight to the 50-spin headline.
