Can Hollywoodbets void my bet if there is a palpable error in the odds?

Short Answer: Yes, Hollywoodbets can void your bet if there is a palpable error in the odds. The terms state that if a bet is accepted as a result of a material and manifest error, Hollywoodbets reserves the right to declare the bet or component of the bet void.

They can also correct the odds to the correct price at the time the bet was placed.

1. What Constitutes a Palpable Error?

A palpable error is generally a blatant or obvious pricing mistake that is out of line with the normal market. Hollywoodbets is entitled to correct errors in odds at any time by substituting the corrected odds. If the error is severe, they can void the relevant betting transaction entirely. The onus is on the customer to communicate with Hollywoodbets if they suspect an error has occurred to avoid disputes.

2. Error Correction and Communication

Hollywoodbets is under no obligation to communicate with you before or after the affected event regarding any correction or voiding of a bet. The failure to receive communication does not entitle you to claim that a valid and binding betting transaction had been concluded. The Gauteng Gambling Board has held that bookmakers may retrospectively void and/or amend bets erroneously accepted in conflict with their terms and conditions.
