- INTRODUCTION TO GROUP
The Hollywood Sportsbook Holdings Group began in 1986 as a small South African based publishing company, Winning Form, publishing and distributing horse racing form guides. It then branched into bookmaking and now has over 80 retail branches spread across six of South Africa’s provinces as well as an online gaming business. Hollywood Sportsbook Holdings is the holding company of a group of local subsidiary companies, and also has a number of associated and related entities, which shall collectively be referred to as “the Group”.
Whilst the primary business of the Group is gaming and entertainment in South Africa, there are also a number of other businesses that are conducted by the various related and associated entities, including, inter alia, software development, printing and publishing, courier and logistics and training.
- PURPOSE OF MANUAL
The Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 (“PAIA”) was enacted with the purpose of giving effect to the constitutional right of access to information that is held by a private or public body and that is required for the exercise or protection of any rights.
Section 51 of the PAIA requires private bodies to compile a manual to enable a person to gain access to information held by such private body and stipulates the minimum requirements that the manual must comply with.
This Manual constitutes the PAIA manual of the Group and has been compiled in accordance with section 51 of PAIA as amended by the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (“POPIA”), which gives effect to the constitutional right to privacy.
The POPIA amends certain provisions of the PAIA, balancing the need for access to information against the need to ensure protection of personal information by providing for the establishment of an Information Regulator who is, among others, empowered to monitor and enforce compliance by public and private bodies with the provisions of the POPIA. More information on how the Group processes and protects personal information can be found in each of the relevant entity’s privacy policies which are available on each of the respective entity’s websites.
The purpose of this Manual is to facilitate requests for access to information regarding Hollywood Sportsbook Holdings and it applies in respect of the Group of entities and each member, affiliate or subsidiary described in Annexure C.

- PROCEDURE FOR ACCESS REQUEST
It is important to note that the successful completion and submission of an access request form does not automatically allow the requestor access to the requested record. An application for access to a record is subject to certain limitations if the requested record falls within a certain category as specified within Part 3 of Chapter 4 of the Act. If it is reasonably suspected that the requestor has obtained access to records through the submission of materially false or misleading information, legal proceedings may be instituted against such requestor.
The following steps must be followed when a requester wishes to obtain access to information for the Group:
- The requestor must complete Form C found in Annexure A. This Form must be submitted, together with a request fee (if applicable) and proof of the requestor’s ID, to the Information Officer at the specified address or electronic email address listed in section 3 above. A request which does not comply with the formalities as prescribed by the PAIA will be returned to you.
- The request must meet the following requirements:
- provide sufficient detail to enable the Information Officer to identify the record(s) requested and to identify the requestor;
- indicate which form of access is required;
- specify a postal address or e-mail address of the requester in the Republic of South Africa;
- identify the right that is sought to be exercised or to be protected and provide an explanation of why the requested record is required for the exercise or protection of that right; and
- indicate if any other manner is to be used to inform the requestor and state the necessary particulars to be so informed.
- If a request is made on behalf of another person, the requestor must then submit proof of the capacity in which the requestor is making the request to the satisfaction of the Group.
- The fee that the requestor must pay to the Group is currently R 140.
- After the Information Officer has decided on the request, the requestor must be notified whether access is granted or refused.
- If the request is granted then an access fee is payable in respect of the search, reproduction, and preparation costs. These fees are set out in Annexure B.
