PlayLive Holla Africa does not charge any fees for deposits or withdrawals. However, your payment provider (bank, card issuer, etc.) might apply their own fees. We recommend checking with your provider for details.

Bonus Questions

How does the 50% Happy Hour cashback work?

+

Our exclusive Happy Hour runs daily from 9-10pm South African time. During this hour, you'll receive 50% of your net losses back as bonus credits. For example, if you lose R500 playing during Happy Hour, you'll get R250 back in bonus money!

The cashback is calculated on your net losses during the Happy Hour period only and is credited automatically within 1 hour after the Happy Hour ends.

Is there a limit to the 15% cashback bonus?

+

Unlike other South African online casinos that cap cashback at R500-R1000, our 15% cashback has NO MAXIMUM LIMIT. You'll receive 15% back on all net losses outside of Happy Hour, no matter how high.

This daily cashback is calculated and credited every 24 hours.

What are the wagering requirements for cashback bonuses?

+

Both the 50% Happy Hour cashback and 15% daily cashback have a 3x wagering requirement. This means you need to wager the bonus amount 3 times before it can be withdrawn.

For example, if you receive R200 in cashback, you'll need to wager R600 (3 x R200) before you can withdraw the bonus and any winnings from it.

This is one of the lowest wagering requirements for casino bonuses in South Africa.

Do all games contribute equally to the wagering requirements?

+

Different games contribute differently to the wagering requirements:

  • Slots: 100%
  • Table Games: 10-20% (varies by game)
  • Live Casino: 10%

This means that R100 wagered on slots counts as R100 towards the requirement, while R100 wagered on table games might only count as R10-R20.

Games Questions

What types of games are available at PlayLive Holla Africa?

+

We offer a wide variety of online casino games, with a primary focus on online slots. Our collection includes:

  • Video Slots
  • Progressive Jackpot Slots

Are the games fair and random?

+

Yes, all games at PlayLive Holla Africa use Random Number Generators (RNGs) to ensure fair and random outcomes. Our games are provided by licensed and regulated software providers who undergo regular auditing by independent testing agencies.

What is RTP and how does it affect my chances of winning?

+

RTP (Return to Player) is the percentage of all wagered money that a slot will pay back to players over time. For example, a slot with 96% RTP will return R96 for every R100 wagered on average over millions of spins.

Higher RTP games generally offer better long-term value, but remember that RTP is calculated over millions of spins, so your individual sessions can vary greatly from the theoretical return.
