• Betting offers for new and existing customers
• #BetYourWay feature including football Bet Builders
• Best Esports offering of any betting site

The Betway sports home page is easy to navigate with its standard menu layout and colour scheme. At the same time, the Betway apps are succinct, efficient, and easy to use.

The selection of markets is not as wide overall as some other bookmakers, but Betway offer enough betting opportunities to satisfy most users. They are the market leaders within Esports, which is a growing market within betting.

For UK punters, the Betway sign up offer is a satisfyingly simple free bet offer, while there are also great betting deals for customers in South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, India, and various other countries. We do recommend that users look through what terms and conditions apply before they bet on the odds offered, and check that their chosen payment method, of which there are many available, is eligible.

Betway have many good permanent campaigns for existing customers such as the Free Bet Club, and 'You Lead, You Win', which sees users paid out if their team leads by a certain amount in basketball, rugby union and American football.

Daily 'Betway Boost' offers on the biggest events provide excellent value.

Generally, Betway have one of the higher payout percentages in the market, but they are not at the very top of the tree. However, many of those sites that offer higher odds have a worse selection, and therefore Betway can be considered one of the absolute best products when it comes to payout percentages in relation to their offering.

The Betway Casino offers games provided by the likes of Microgaming, NetEnt, and Play'n GO, and upholds a high quality throughout, both on your desktop as well as on your mobile.

player support is top-notch all around the world, with live chat available 24/7, plus phone lines for different territories.

We can strongly recommend Betway for their betting offers and a rock-solid range of available bets. If Betway is the only bookie you use for recreational punting, you'll be absolutely fine.

• Plain design on desktop and mobile

The Betway sports betting site functions well and it is easy to find your way around. While there isn't much negative to say about them, the one small drawback is that the website just doesn't look as slick or aesthetically pleasing as some others.

This might not matter at all to some punters, but some of us here at Roulette77 quite enjoy a more colourful or smooth interface.

Betway offer most of the common banking options used by UK punters. Users can use their debit card or PayPal account, while Neteller is also presented as an option, and the classic bank transfer route is also available.

Transactions are free of charge - bettors should just make sure their payment provider doesn't add any fees for deposits or withdrawals.

Betway Limits on Payments and Withdrawals

Betway's maximum payout on sports betting depends on the event. For top tier football events such as Euro 2020, Premier League and Champions League, the limit is £500,000, which is a quarter of the maximum offered by competitors William Hill.

For other sports such as horse racing, darts, snooker, tennis, NBA and NFL, the maximum is £250,000, while it is capped at £100,000 for lower league football.

Deposits can be made from as little as £5 via debit card, up to £20,000. PayPal and Neteller have a £10 minimum, with maximum deposits of £5,500 and £37,500 respectively.

Bank Transfer deposits have the biggest minimum (£25) and maximum (£100,000) deposit limits.

The minimum withdrawal amount is £10 or currency equivalent and should be done via the same payment method you used to deposit.

The bread and butter of the Betway product is their sportsbook. The home page is geographically optimised so that it suits the needs of the punter. For Brits, football, horse racing, darts, tennis and cricket are among the sports that are most prominent, whereas in Sweden or Canada, you might see more ice hockey. 

Betway Football

Betway offer a quality selection of football odds from a wide range of the world’s leagues. The bigger the game, the more markets that there will generally be available.

For the Champions League, Premier League and other major competitions, you can dig much deeper and wager on things like corners per half per team, whereas an Italian Serie C game, for example, would have more limited options.

#BetYourWay bet builders are available on every football match on Betway.

Generally, Betway have one of the highest payout percentages in football amongst the large betting sites, and they sometimes have the best price on certain markets.

Betway Horse Racing

When it comes to horse racing, Betway's odds are in line with the rest of the market, and they also offer boosts and specials to provide extra value.

Stats and insights from data provider Timeform are embedded into the site, making it much easier to study form and determine the best bets.

As an online-only gambling company with an international customer-base, Betway, as expected, is up to date with all of the key features required in such a competitive market.

Betway in-play streaming

If you have an account in the UK or Ireland, then you can watch certain sporting events through the Betway site. 

All you need is a positive balance on your account, and you can watch any event with a TV icon next to it. The catalogue isn't as impressive as some other bookies, but does include some football, ice hockey, tennis and volleyball.

There are more horse racing streaming options, but a bet must be placed on a race in order to watch it.

Betway Live Betting

No point offering in-play streaming without live betting - so, obviously, Betway offers the possibility to bet in real-time.

Betway offer an immersive live betting experience with comprehensive stats and commentary.

The range is vast and stretches wider than the range currently available for in-play streaming - you can make live bets on many sports, including football, hockey, basketball, e-sports, golf, and tennis.

Stats and graphics are available for all in-play betting events, and the odds are constantly updating as the games unfold.

Betway Cash Out

Betway’s cash out function goes really well with its live betting and in-play streaming service. This function allows you to cut your losses or secure a win.

Look out for the cash out symbol, which is available on a large number of the markets on Betway.

Just like any modern gaming site, Betway functions excellently on phones and tablets. The website is mobile adapted so it is perfectly possible to play directly in your mobile browser.

Betway also have an app for each of their products, all of which run smoothly on both iPhone and Android devices.

Betway Sports Betting App

The Betway app for sports betting is an excellent complementary tool to their website. 

Users can do the same as they can with their computer, betting both before and during the match, and taking advantage of free bet offers and promotions. 

The Betway app is easy to navigate and very adaptable, with a dedicated in-play section that can be further categorised by sport.

Betway Casino App

The Betway Casino app features the top games that users will be familiar with from the desktop site, such as the slot games Starburst and Mega Moolah, as well as classic table games.

From the moment you download the app right through to spinning the roulette wheel, it is a smooth user experience, with no lag or slow loading times. While many may prefer to play on the computer, the Betway Casino app is a terrific alternative while on the go.

Betway Live Casino App

We can strongly recommend Betway’s app for live casino. Here, you can find everything you will find on the computer and it all works seamlessly.

The borders are well designed and easy to navigate, and Evolution Gaming, who have had a hand in creating Betway’s live casino, have done an excellent job.

Betway Vegas App

The Betway app for Vegas offers over 70 slots and is, just like Las Vegas, more exclusive and a little more hefty than the casino app.

With HD video slots and big Vegas-like bets, it may not quite be the strip but it is the next best thing. Customers will be presented with a number of offers and bonuses when they download the app.

There is some crossover between Betway products, as wagering on the Betway Vegas app can earn you points towards free sports bets.
