0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Hollywoodbets is a well-established online sports betting platform founded in 2016, offering a broad range of sports betting markets with a focus on football and horse racing. The platform targets sports bettors primarily in the UK and related markets, providing promotions and loyalty rewards to enhance user engagement. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Vue.js, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for consent management, supported by CDN hosting for performance. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Security-wise, the platform enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and integrates responsible gambling links, though it lacks explicit security policy and incident response pages. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR through cookie consent mechanisms, but could improve transparency by publishing terms of service and security policies.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Hollywoodbets operates in the online gambling sector, focusing on sports betting with a strong market presence in British, Irish, and South African horse racing and football markets. The business model centers on wagering services with revenue generated from betting margins and customer engagement through promotions. The company maintains partnerships with regulatory bodies and responsible gambling organizations, enhancing trust and compliance. The platform's digital presence is supported by a robust marketing and analytics ecosystem, including Google Ads and Smartico. Growth indicators include a comprehensive sportsbook offering and loyalty programs, positioning Hollywoodbets as a competitive player in the online betting industry.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and integration of cookie consent for privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, vulnerability disclosure, and incident response contact information represents gaps in transparency and readiness. The platform includes links to recognized gambling regulatory and support organizations, indicating adherence to responsible gaming practices. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security documentation and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Complete SEO metadata including descriptions and Open Graph tags for better search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) with modular JavaScript loading and CDN-backed asset delivery, supporting good performance and scalability. Integration with third-party services like Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, and Zendesk Chat indicates a mature digital marketing and customer support infrastructure. The site uses preconnect and preload hints to optimize resource loading. While the technical implementation is solid, some SEO metadata fields are empty or minimal, suggesting room for improvement in search engine optimization. The hosting and domain registration are stable and reputable, with no signs of technical debt or outdated technologies.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
