Wazdan Enters South African Market with Hollywoodbets Partnership


Wazdan has launched in South Africa through a partnership with Hollywoodbets and Light & Wonder. This marks Wazdan’s entry into the South African market, partnering with one of the most prominent operators locally, an established household name in iGaming.

Wazdan introduced 10 of its best-known and performing games to Hollywoodbets in South Africa. The initial wave of games includes 9 Coins, 9 Coins 1000 Edition, 9 Coins Grand Gold Edition, Burning Sun, Hot Slot: 777Crown, Hot Slot Mystery JackpotJoker, Magic Spins, Power of Gods: Valhalla, Power of Sun: Svarog and Sizzling Eggs, with more titles to follow.

Wazdan Commercial Director Bekki D’Agata welcomed the opportunity to scale the company’s global presence in South Africa. The tie-up with Hollywoodbets is expected to drive strong growth locally. Hollywoodbets head of product Wayde Dorkin stated that the company is constantly on the lookout for fresh and worthwhile content. Wazdan has also launched in Ontario, Canada, several months ago.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
