Sponsored PR: DATA.BET brings esports betting to Hollywoodbets
Partnership grants access to a complete, ready-to-launch technology offering spanning odds feed, streaming and risk management
DATA.BET, a leading sportsbook solution supplier, has signed a new partnership with Hollywoodbets, South Africa’s most prominent sports and entertainment betting operator. The operator was looking for a provider that could deliver depth of coverage, in-house trading expertise and a fast route to launch and be a part of a growing share of the African esports betting market.
The integration granted Hollywoodbets access to the full esports betting ecosystem, including Single page application (iFrame), odds feed, bet builder, widgets and streaming, backed by a fully managed risk and trading services. Players get 770+ markets across 30+ disciplines and more than 10,000 events each month, covering CS2, Dota 2, Valorant, League of Legends, Rainbow Six and other leading and low-tier competitive titles. DATA.BET handles every process behind the scenes, keeping market availability above 90% and system uptime at 99.99%.
“This partnership is about giving Hollywoodbets a complete esports product they can launch with confidence. The iFrame removes integration complexity, and with risk management and trading on our side, they get strong margins and a consistent user experience from day one,” said Otto Bonning, head of sales at DATA.BET. “Esports is an emerging vertical in South Africa, and we’re aligned with Hollywoodbets on a clear roadmap to grow it together.”
Hollywoodbets is a well-established South African betting brand with high-profile sponsorships such as the Hollywoodbets Sharks and the Hollywoodbets Dolphins. The operator is recognised for its product breadth, mobile-first execution and strong customer engagement across both retail and online channels.
Wayde Dorkin, head of product at Hollywoodbets added: “At Hollywoodbets, our focus is on continuously evolving our product offering. The launch of esports is an important milestone for us, given that the category has become a major part of the global sports and entertainment landscape. Through our partnership with DATA.BET, we are able to bring customers a comprehensive esports experience featuring extensive tournament coverage, live streaming, in-depth statistics and a wide range of betting markets.”
This partnership marks a significant step in DATA.BET’s expansion into the African market and reinforces the company’s position as a trusted technology partner for operators entering the esports betting.
