The Hollywoodbets Soccer Punters Challenge
Hollywoodbets recently launched their Punter Challenge for Mzansi’s favourite sport, soccer. The Hollywoodbets Soccer Challenge has been an instant hit and gives casual soccer fans the chance to compete against serious punters for free.
The Hollywoodbets Soccer Punters Challenge is open to anyone and there is no need to deposit money, although placing a bet behind your pick could make you a lot more money. The challenge sits somewhere between a sports fantasy game and betting. It requires a player to choose which team will win and the winning margin. Players climb the leaderboard if they have chosen accurately.

Types of Soccer Punter Challenges
A big part of what makes the Hollywoodbets Soccer Punters Challenge so popular is the fact that players can play it every day. The Daily Challenge runs from Monday to Friday and features matches from around the world, thereby testing your knowledge of football. Predicting the correct winner and winning margin earns points on the scoreboard. Eight matches feature daily and offer R25 000 distributed between the top 50 on the leaderboard. The leader gets a cool R5000, second place gets R4000, third place gets R3000, and fourth place gets R2000. Fifth place gets R1000, going down to R50 for players between positions 40 and 50. Players who correctly predict all eight matches win the daily jackpot of R1 million, provided they placed a R5 bet using the bet slip feature.
English Premier League Challenge
The English Premier League Matchdays also have a challenge. Players play the challenge over the weekend and it features 10 matches. The prize money for predicting all the correct matches is R50 000, distributed in the same way as the Daily Challenge. The Premier League Challenge has a jackpot of R5 million, which players can only claim if they pick all 10 games and margins correctly and place a R50 bet behind their predictions.
UEFA Challenge
Hollywoodbets also recently ran a promotional challenge on the Uefa Champions League Round of 16 matches. The promotion ran the same as the EPL Challenge and offered R10 000 for the winner, which players could increase to R50 000 by placing a bet behind their pick.

How to Enter the Punters Challenge
Players need to open a Hollywoodbets account and get their account verified in order to play in the challenge. Players can access the challenges on a mobile device by downloading the app or via desktop. Open the site or app and navigate to the specially made Punters Challenge portal. The Punters Challenge portal offers many options. One of the options allows players to create a private group where friends can compete and see how well they do against each other. Players can create a pseudonym or play with their real name. The portal shows statistics of previous picks and winning percentages in the “My Stats” feature.
How the Points System Works
The Soccer Challenge uses a points system that works differently from the Horse Punters Challenge. The odds on the matches play a huge part in the scoring system. Players earn points when they predict the correct score and winning margins after 90 minutes. It is important to note that the system does not include penalties and extra time.
Tips for the Soccer Challenge
Accurately predicting the outcome of the matches is what determines how players climb the leaderboard. Many players share daily tips, but doing a bit of homework before making predictions works just as well. Check the weather conditions and previous results between the two teams before making a decision. Look at the squad and whether injuries could play a role in the match. Where the match is being played can also impact the final score. Use the odds as a guide to choosing the winning margin. For example, if a team is heavily favoured to win, increase the winning margin to earn extra points. The Hollywoodbets Punter Challenge is a fun and free way to get into the action of the world’s most beautiful sport. Click here to register and sign up with Hollywoodbets.
