Betway

Betway

Betway are one of the largest betting sites in all of Europe, with over two million active users. They provide a range of great odds for sports, along with poker games and online casino games. Betway are also the main sponsor of English Premier League club West Ham.

The homepage for Betway is super simple to navigate with a unique theme and contrasting colours of green and white. The apps are also well designed, succinct, and simple to use.

Betway might not have the largest selection compared to other betting sites, but they definitely provide more than enough opportunities for the average user. Betway are the market leader for esports, which is a fast-growing market in gambling.

The software used in the Betway casino and for Betway poker was created by Micrograming. Like anything Microgaming makes, it has a very high quality to it and works brilliantly on mobile and desktop displays.

The welcome offer with Betway is generous to say the least, but the terms and conditions can vary depending on the bet and the market. This makes it a little complicated to fully understand. We recommend that you check the terms and conditions before placing a bet with the welcome offer. There are a number of ongoing campaigns with the brand too, including free bets and combined bets.

In general, their payout percentages are among the best in the market, but they aren’t the highest ever. However, most sites that have higher odds than this also have a worse game selection. That makes Betway one of the greatest all-round products in terms of both payout percentages and game choice.

We highly recommend using Betway for their betting and excellent customer service in the casino section. However, we do detract some points thanks to the confusing terms and conditions applied to the welcome bonus.

Betway Free Bet and Offers

New customers with Betway can receive a welcome bonus for the sportsbook section, casino section, and poker section of the website.

Those new to the sportsbook will get up to 100% on £30 as a first deposit free bet.

Casino members can get bonuses worth up to £1,000 across their first three deposits.

Finally, poker players get a deposit bonus on their first deposit of 200% up to £750.

Fans of slot machines will be interested in the fact that, in October 2015, Betway set the world record for paying out the world’s largest jackpot from an online slot machine. Lucky player Jon Heywood walked home with £13,209,300.

Betway Sports Betting

  • Betway Football

Betway has a wide range of football odds for football leagues around the world. In terms of special bets though, such as the most corners won, then there is a clear focus on the major leagues – in particular the English leagues. We’re interested in the Premier League ourselves, and so would recommend Betway when it comes to specialist football bets.

In general, Betway has some of the biggest payout percentages for football bets.

  • Betway Horse Racing

Betway might not have the best horse racing betting odds, but they are far from being bad. They always have a good standard when it comes to odds and their website looks better than some other established bookies for horse racing. We recommend taking a look at their betting blog for horse racing. They have a lot of great content presented in a simple and easy to read fashion.

Betway Bingo

The bingo at Betway is powered by Microgaming and it works smoothly for the most part. There are six rooms in all, so the selection is a little lacking. There’s plenty of traffic though, so you won’t be waiting long for a game. If we had any problem with it, it would be that there are no speed games on offer.
