Punters Challenge Hollywood Campaign Image
The Punters Challenge Hollywoodbets is a daily online game that lets you predict the outcome of horse races at selected tracks. The goal? Rack up the most points by correctly predicting the finishing positions of each horse in each race meeting.
If you top the leaderboard, you could walk away with a share of a generous Punters' Challenge daily payout of R5,000 in prizes for the top 20 finishers, regardless of whether all the winners are tipped. The top finishers receive R2,000, R1,000, R500, and R250, respectively.
However, those who place between 5th and 10th earn R125 each, while 11th to 20th position secure R50 each. Plus, if a punter places bets totaling R50 or more after making their selections, these prize amounts are doubled.
Notably, the prize money varies daily, influenced by the number of runners on the card, and increases every meeting the jackpot isn't won. Tipping all the winners can earn you between R125,000 for overseas courses and up to R1,000,000 for South African meetings.
Arguably, players receive points depending on where their selection finishes in a race, and how many actual runners there are in a race. Therefore, in a twelve-horse race, the 1st position will receive 12 points, the 2nd position 11 points, the 3rd position 10 points, and all the way down to last position with 1 point. Nevertheless, in a seven-horse race, the 1st position will receive 7 points, 2nd position will receive 6 points, and so on.
This means that Bonus Points are awarded for winning selections, where the Hollywoodbets Starting Price (SP) for that horse will be added to the points awarded. If the winning horse’s SP is 4/1 for example in a race, then an additional 5 points (4 + 1) will be added to the points earned. In the above twelve-horse race example the winning selection would have 17 points awarded which is 12 plus 5 bonus points.
