Although Hollywoodbets has been around the block for a long time, it does not have the best presence in the UK or Ireland. In 2018, the South African bookmaker made a website for Irish customers, and a UK site followed a year later. Again though, its presence is still not the best, even if Hollywoodbets is the front-of-shirt sponsor for the Premier League team Brentford.
Aside from the visibility the bookmaker deserves credit for its low minimum deposit amount of only £1 with Instant Bank Transfers, which is fantastic. Below, we have collected everything you need to know about Hollywoodbets and depositing funds, from the payment methods accepted to the specific terms for each.

Below, we have put together a step-by-step guide for adding funds to a Hollywoodbets account, and whilst the process is simple, if any further assistance is needed our guide aims to give you just that.
Once you have entered the app, the next step is to tap the 'Profile' icon in the top right corner. From here, tap the 'Deposit' option shown in the drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can tap the small '+' icon next to your balance.
Following this, you will be presented with the available methods of payment on the app. The minimum and maximum deposit amounts are displayed for each method, which is a nice touch.
After selecting your preferred method, Hollywoodbets will ask you to enter your payment information alongside your billing address - however, you will not need to insert the latter again as it will use the information you provided when signing up to the bookmaker.
The final step is to check that you are depositing the right amount, and once this is done, using the box at the bottom of the screen, tap the 'Deposit' option and begin betting!
As mentioned above, the range of different deposit methods on Hollywoodbets is fantastic, and customers will struggle to find a method that is not supported. The minimum deposit varies from method to method, it should be noted, but this is not a negative in Hollywoodbets' case.
In fact, the minimum deposit on Hollywoodbets is £1 (!) when using TrueLayer - also known as Instant Banking - or EeziVoucher. When using other payment methods the minimum rises to £5 - debit card and e-wallet deposits fit this bill. However, Paysafecard users must adhere to a £10 minimum deposit which is higher than usual.
Debit card deposits are popular among punters - and ourselves - due to their speed and accessibility. The minimum deposit amount of £5 on Hollywoodbets is thus very welcomed, while the maximum is set at £5,000.
Payment Method | Min. Limit | Max. Limit | Transaction Fee | Processing Time |

Visa | £5 | £5,000 | No fee | Instant |
Mastercard | £5 | £5,000 | No fee | Instant |
Instant Banking is bound to be one of the most popular methods among new Hollywoodbet customers as it supports deposits as low as £1. The maximum amount is also higher than other methods at £10,000, so there is good reason to choose this method.

Paysafecard | £10 | £5,000 | No fee | Instant |
PayPal is, perhaps, the best-known e-wallet on the market and seeing it offered as a payment method is nothing new. However, sites that offer the method sometimes charge a premium, but this is not the case on Hollywoodbets with a £5 minimum deposit amount.

Skrill's presence on betting sites is rare, but given how many methods are supported by Hollywoodbets it makes sense why it is available. With a £5 minimum and £5,000 maximum deposit amount, there is a lot to like.

Unfortunately, Hollywoodbets customers will have to up their deposits to a minimum of £10 if they are looking to use Paysafecard. The method is quite popular, and seeing an increase in the minimum deposit is rather frustrating.
