Who Are Betway?
After a steady site, Betway has emerged as one of the biggest players in the UK, and European, betting industry. Founded in 2006, Betway holds licences across the globe and has major sponsorship deals with huge sporting organisations like the NHL and West Ham United.
Established in 2006
Betway Ltd
UKGC licence number - 39372
First Impression of Betway
By Luke Bradshaw Lee - This review will reflect the service offered at the specific point in time. I signed up on the desktop version of Betway, but also used the mobile version to compare, as well as the Betway app.
At OLBG we collect data on every bookmaker’s service, compiling the best bookies in a variety of categories, so that we can determine which bookmaker is the best at what. Based on this data, Betway makes our Top 10 in 10 different categories, making it one of the top bookies in the country.
Betway Live Betting
When it comes to live in-play betting Betway ranks on our list of best bookies, offering great options when it comes to in-play action. With full statistics, line-ups, and standings offered on their in-play pages there are plenty of different things available to help the bettor with picking in-play bets.
A better variety of in-play action and streaming access may be needed to put Betway at the very top of the list of best bookmakers for in-play betting but it’s still an excellent part of the Betway product.
Betway Live Streaming
Live streaming is available on the Betway site and app for horse racing, assuming you have placed a bet on the race. To watch a race you must place a £2 minimum bet, either a single of each way bet to be specific. There is also live streaming for greyhounds, also. Betway Live Streaming is available on desktop and mobile, you simply need to have a funded account.
- Football Live Streaming
- Hockey from the NHL
- WTA and ITF Tennis Live Streams
- Horse Racing Streaming
Look out for the 'TV' Symbol next to the event, then you know you can bet and watch at the same time.
Betway Betting Odds
You can see from our data, when it comes to betting on American football, Betway has the single best odds in the country. Beyond that, Betway is regularly one of the best places to find long odds for sports such as tennis, rugby union, baseball, football and basketball.
Betway Betting App or Mobile Site
The Betway mobile app is very good.When you open the Betway app for Android or IOS or on your tablet you can quickly see there is a lot going on, the screen is awash with the latest free bets, promotions, favourites and a quick bet slip.
Now we are normally keener on the "less is more" adage with betting apps, as sometimes apps try to fit a quart into a pint pot, but despite the myriad of different typefaces, images and links, the betway app home screen just worked, and it felt like a place you would enjoy.
You can see that betway have spent time and money developing their app. When we checked there had been regular upgrades, this is a sign that the betway developers are constantly looking for ways to enhance the betway app.
Betway Football Betting
Betway's high ranking for football betting as shown in the table above is important as the better prices allow for better winnings. With the vast majority of bets placed on football being accumulators even a small increase of odds over other bookies is massive.
Slightly different odds when it comes to bets in your acca's can make a massive difference in your overall winnings. To dive into things a bit deeper, head to our best bookmakers for football betting to see why Betway makes our list.
Bet Builder
Where Betway’s bet builder excels is when it comes to American sports. The sportsbook already offers some of the best odds for basketball and its bet builder for NFL is arguably the best. If you can’t see the bet you’re after, you can use Betway’s #BetYouWay hashtag on twitter to get the odds that you’re after.

Discovering the Best Bet Builder Sites: A Comprehensive Comparison of 64 Online Bookmakers
Bonuses
The Betway promos team are creating huge betting interest, predominantly with their excellent free bet club + their innovative four to win games. I rank their free bet club the best in class, check it out I think you will be impressed. If you have not yet discovered all the Betway promos then get yourself along to the Betway website or Betway app and take advantage.
In addition to this there is Four To Score where you predict four first goalscorers to win cash, Four To Win, a horse racing equivalent. There are also bonuses across different sports including the NFL, cricket and tennis, with regular Betway Boosts offering lengthened odds.
Best Free Bet Club
Betway's free bet club gives you two £5 free bets to bet on whatever you like every week when you bet £25+ on sports multiples.
Cash Out
Cashout is a very important betting feature for punters these days so it's crucial that bookies integrate this feature into their mobile betting apps. Betway have done this well allowing their customers to instantly cash out their bets on any device they like.
Betway Horse Racing
Betway are also ranked highly when it comes to Horse Racing betting and they feature as one of our best bookmakers for horse racing betting.
Their Four To Win promotion is also available for Horse Racing with jackpots for picking four horses in four selected races.
Similar to their 4 to score jackpot predictor, the competition is free to play and offers a chance of winning a jackpot of £1,000 to as big as £10,000 on Saturday's.
Betway Best Odds Guaranteed offer is available daily on all UK and Ireland horse racing bets, from 9.00 am. For example, if you get a tip for horse racing, take the 6/1 Early Price and your selection wins at 8/1, Betway will pay you at 8/1. The Betway BOG applies to single and multiple bets placed and although there are some bookies who offer BOG from earlier, the great part of Betway’s service is there is no limit placed on the maximum benefit.
Betway US Sports Betting
A full range of American Sports is available. At the time of writing, only the MLB season isn’t up and running, with the other major leagues in full swing. Beyond that, and maybe somewhat surprisingly given its lack of international racing coverage, there are lots of international markets for these sports, particularly for basketball.
American Football Betting
Line shoppers should absolutely head to Betway when hunting around for the best value on NFL betting because they regularly have the longest odds for American football, that goes for college football and the CFL, as well as NFL games. It’s worth checking out our best NFL betting sites in more detail to see how Betway compares.
![The Top NFL Betting Sites 2024](https://olbgimages.co.uk/image-cache?src=https://olbgimages.co.uk/storage/gallery/bookie-guides-featured-images/nfl-betting-sites.jpg&w=450&h=253.125&zc=1)
The Top NFL Betting Sites 2024
Basketball Betting
Not only can you also create your own bet builders on basketball games, there are supporting statistics on screen to help inform your decision. Betway is a solid option for basketball betting, overall. Keep tabs on the top basketball betting sites though, to see in more detail why they top our list.
Baseball Betting
Betway’s selection of markets for each game is seriously impressive – you’d struggle to find a market that you can’t bet on and they should absolutely be a first port of call when it comes to baseball betting. That’s why it ranks as the seventh best baseball betting site in the UK. Their stats offering is right up there, and while they don’t run any baseball promotions, their in-play offering is great and you can get cash out on a number of different baseball markets.
Ice Hockey Betting
Like the basketball offering, as well as the biggest league in the sport, the NHL, there are a huge number of other leagues around the globe. You can bet on games in Switzerland, Sweden, England, the Czech Republic and more. There are good outright future markets for NHL betting, and the markets within games are loaded.
Betway Greyhound Betting
Whether you’re making bets, or just want to check the form and stats, Betway’s greyhound service is really good. There are odds on over 150 different greyhound races per day across the whole country. Betway, as it does with most sports, lists handy tips, bet explainers and types of greyhound races on the greyhound page so that you have extra info at your fingertips when betting.
Betway Darts Betting
All year round you’ll find competitive odds on major darts tournaments around the world, including the PDC World Championships, the Premier League and, of course, the sponsored Betway World Cup of Darts.
Betway Snooker Betting
By Steve Madgwick - I’m always on the lookout for great snooker betting sites. Select any random snooker match on Betway and you should find around 15 markets available to bet on at your fingertips per match; that’s something that’s difficult to find elsewhere. Betway also offers a good option when it comes to in-play betting on particular snooker events, so bear them in mind if you’re a big fan of in-play betting in general.
Betway Rugby Betting (Union & League)
Betway offers a consistent, brilliant offering across the board. It may not be the single best at many specific ratings, but it’s an all-rounder who offers a very high standard on absolutely everything that they do and their promotions are one of things that this rugby betting site is market-leading at. For a bit of everything, Betway is your one-stop shop, and the site is so easy to navigate, with top rugby events easy to find via its quick links. Check how it compares in our top rugby betting sites.
Betway Cricket Betting
By James Banting - The single best cricket betting site in the UK is Betway. With all things considered, Betway’s offering pips the rest of the pack. It covers all the major tournaments and regularly has some of the best odds and the best variety of markets. You can get odds boosts on specific bets, and supporting stats are displayed alongside. The only downside is that it doesn’t offer live streaming, but given the rest of the setup, it’s hard to do better.

10 | 32Red | 3 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 3.9 | 11.9 |
Betway Tennis Betting
By James Banting - Betway has a healthy event coverage for the tennis season. Obviously there are the Grand Slams, but also every tournament on the ATP and WTA tours, as well as Davis Cup, Fed Cup and Challenger Series, as well as even smaller tournaments. And, although it probably doesn’t need saying, this applies to in-play betting, as well as pre-match stuff. Generally the odds here are really good, and definitely a consideration when placing tennis bets.
Betway Golf Betting
By James Banting - It’s great to see this level of coverage. Aside from the Ryder Cup and the four Majors, all of which are being played next year, there are the likes of LIV Golf Events that I’d expect to see, and a number of smaller events – Andalucia Masters, BMW Ladies Championship, plus a few more. Also, the odds are better than most so I’ll keep Betway in mind when the majors roll around.
Betway Motorsports Betting
By Andy Powell - What keeps Betway out of the top three is it has slightly less markets available when compared to the likes of 32Red and William Hill, but it still ranks highly in our best bookies for motorsports. It’s still better than most, but not at the very top. Very few bookmakers run motorsport specific promotions (more of that later) but despite that, there are good opportunities at Betway to take advantage of general promotions and use them betting on motorsport. It’s something to definitely bear in mind when shopping around.
Betway Boxing Betting
By Frank Monkhouse former professional boxer - I quite like the approach to boxing betting that Betway applies. They know there’s not a lot of value in the “fight winner” market for most bouts and so put a lot of focus and value into other markets. This means thinking of Round Betting, Round Group Betting and the like. It’s worth checking their regular “Fight Night Tips” feature that they post most weeks.
Betway Other Sports Betting
Whilst these sports might sound very niche, there is a massive market for fans, and millions of them in the UK, so good coverage of niche sports and events is key to be reviewed on OLBG; let’s dig in.
Esports Betting
Betway has comprehensive esports betting available, the fastest-growing betting area in Europe right now. The Betway coverage of various esports events includes a range of markets as well as promos. There are esport objectives for regular players that are worth checking out. Read our full review of esports Betting in our "The Best Bookmakers for Betting on esports" guide to see why Betway ranks no.1.
Handball Betting
Handball is increasingly popular and Betway looks to be offering plenty for punters to bet on various handball events and tournaments worldwide. As well as the World Championships and Champions League, there are domestic competitions in Denmark, France, Poland, Turkey and more. This is a really good handball option if that’s where your betting takes you.
Cycling Betting
Betway offers betting on cycling for sports bettors who like to dabble in cycling betting, and comparing it with others out there it’s what we’d expect. There isn’t a load of markets, but that’s true of anywhere to be honest. What you can get is odds on next year’s Tour de France winner, as well as some of the Classics. This includes Paris-Roubaix, Milan-San Remo and the Tour of Flanders, and that’s better than a lot of other sportsbooks have listed at the same time.
Aussie Rules Football Betting
Numbers eight to 10 in our list of the best AFL betting sites all score the same overall across our data points. As we’ve mentioned, it depends on what you’re after, and it’s that that may determine where you wager. Betway doesn’t have the event coverage that others do, with the AFL and just a little more on top, but the markets that they have on those games and, crucially, the odds that they have in those markets, are very good.
Political Betting
By Nigel Skinner - Betway’s UK political betting offering is as good as most, certainly in terms of markets available, and odds on those markets. While the site is easy to navigate, one thing that lets it down is a hang-up from sports betting, signposting various markets as “leagues” which can be a little confusing. It’s a minor quibble, however, because the actual product on offer is very good, especially its “In the Spotlight” tabs, which rotate particular markets at varying times.
Entertainment and Specials
By Jake Ashton - If we were just going off variety in markets, Betway would be right up at the top. As an overall package it’s not with the absolute best but you’ll find markets here that may not be anywhere else, or at least will be hard to locate on other bookmakers. In particular, the offering on UK TV programmes to bet on is greater than most, and novelty bets on current affairs can also be found.

Virtual Sports
The variety of Virtual Sports options on the Betway site and app make it one of the very best for virtual betting.
From World Cup football to Greyhound racing, all of the classic virtual sports are there with Bundesliga branded virtual football a fantastic addition to the virtual portfolio.Betway's virtual Bundesliga betting shows real goals from the past as part of their match outcomes with goals between the two teams from the past forming a result on the match.
CASINO
Betway has a fantastic casino with all players from small to large stakers given the best experience possible on the platform.
A huge range of slots and interactive promotions are on Betway Casino to keep the most demanding of players happy and consistently able to use the services available.
You can see further information in our Betway Casino review which takes a look at each individual sections on there.
Betway Account Opening Process
Couldn't be easier and can be completed in three easy step
Click a sign up offer on this page
Enter your personal information
Set up your security info including passwords.
Add a deposit method and make your first deposit
That's it. You're ready to bet with Betway.
Navigation and user experience [desktop v mobile]
The Betway site and app both have a similar layout with the black and green colours staying consistent throughout the platform. Betway's design is well-structured and the design overall is efficient despite its interface absolutely crammed full of info. I found myself using the app over the desktop more and more, which is no sleight on the desktop version, but the app definitely feels more intuitive. Our user reviews point towards the reliability of the site being impressive plus the app being good due to the fast sign in process on there.
Placing a bet
This section should only really highlight if there are issues, as the process is almost identical on every site. Within a few minutes of signing up to Betway I placed a couple of bets on different sports, one of which took advantage of the welcome offer, and I used their bet builder feature, which was very indeed. Placing a bet on Betway is straightforward with the betslip instantly appearing on your screen when you click a selection.
Managing your account
As mentioned above, the design really makes this tick. On the desktop version, it’s stuff left and right of screen (menu and search to the left, account and bets to the right). On the app, it’s at the bottom, with search, account and bets at the top, with a main nav bar at the bottom that can get you to different sports, in-play options and casino (plus return to the home page).
Betway Responsible Gambling Features
As with all online betting companies, responsible gambling should be and will be an essential element of the service provided. Expect KYC procedures and document supply as a matter-of-course, to confirm your account after you have deposited a certain level of funds and in the event of any large wins.
You can set limits for yourself across depositing options and daily staking options too, so you can set your levels and keep control of your gambling.
Expect Betway to contact you via your preferred communication method if there are suspicious activities on your account. This protects your account from being accessed by someone other than you and ensures you control your gambling activity. Betway have a legal obligation to question your activity if they believe it to be suspicious. As part of Betway's commitment to safer gambling, they aim to make zero revenue from harmful gambling by the end of 2023.

Betway Review Summary
Overall, Betway is one of the best bookmakers available in the UK. As mentioned, they make our top 10 for 10 different categories – an absolutely huge amount that very few other bookmakers can compete with.
A huge part of this is down to the markets offered, the consistency of their odds and their dedication to covering sports properly. They are fantastic for cricket, and US sports, particularly baseball and American football. This is carried on through to esports, which is one the best parts of Betway’s product, and one of the best places to bet on the sport in the country.
Lastly, Betway is brilliant and has a couple of specific features that are integral to a good betting membership. One of these is its bet builder function, which is excellent, but the other is their Free Bets Club, which treats existing, loyal customers brilliantly, rather than signing people up and forgetting about them.

“Not bad at all!”
I normally use a variety of different online bookies but when I saw their £50 matched bonus I thought I'd set up an account, to my disbelief the mobile site was the easiest I've ever used normally it takes about a week get used to I've found myself now using betway a lot! Also I had a quiery and the contact is very simple it takes about 3 seconds to connect to someone and I even got a phone call the following day offering me another no deposit free bet! I quite like free bets so I'll stick to winning with betway!

Decided to take the generous offer with Betway, via OLBG, and everything went very smoothly when it came signing up to the new account. Registration takes just a minute and my account was ready for betting immediately. The sign-up offer is a decent one, if you deposit and bet, say, £50, they will match it - simple. The site looks clean and tidy on first appearance with navigation simple and easy. I wont insult you with any BS about it being the greatest thing since sliced bread - it's a bookie site and does exactly what a bookie site is supposed to do but it does it well and has plenty of markets from all around the world, if you can't find the bet you want on here you probably aren't looking. A good first impression, I have to be honest.

I am a member with all the well known bookmakers and when a new bookmaker comes along i tend to just stay who i am with,so i am really glad i gave Betway a chance!They have really good markets but i tend to just use the football,mma and american football.So i decided to pick my bet out and before i placed it i had a idea and i compared the prices of the accumulator to one of the well known bookmakers and Betway come out on top!!!What else can you ask for from a new bookmaker giving you the best odds,and there enhanced odds section on the football is really impressive.Betways casino and poker section is nicely layed out and easy to use too,5 Stars for me and my new bookmaker i will be using from now on!

Quite impressed with Betway thus far. Easy navigation, certainly easier than Betway and a good range of markets. I will be using the site primarily for Football and CFL betting which are both covered. The Live streaming of events is a bonus as this is a must now for in-play football betting for me and constitutes a good deal of my sportsbook football betting. Russian and German football is nothing new in terms of streaming but handy to have another venue and account to utilise. Also some enhanced price offers look less convoluted than others I have seen elsewhere. I am looking forward to continuing with this account. 1st impressions will hopefully last

I have tried most of the online bookmakers over the last 5 years. Betway is a breath of fresh air in as much as you can actually navigate the site right from the get go. There is no Horse racing markets which will be a negative for some ...but the football markets are very clear and multiple bets are a doddle to place. You can actually find your history and current bets that are current with real ease. Some sites really do over complicate things..but this site for me is a joy to use. The results are the same though..I tend to lose :

Let's start with the negatives about Betway. I find it hard to believe I can bet on Olympic Beach Volleyball in Brazil but I can't have a flutter on Tony McCoy in the 3.30 at Aintree. And I noticed that something called 'enahnced' odds. I have no idea if it's the same as 'enhanced' or whoever typed it up was distracted by the though of Beach Volleyball. But it's not all bad. The site is fluid and easy to use. Navigation isn't as fiddly as other sites which is imperative as placing a bet on the internet can be quite stressful. It also looks great - it's well presented with great big symbols. Opening an account didn't take long and placing a bet was as easy as 1X2. I quite like that the fact that you can 'Special' bet section and a casino that I've not yet ventured to. So far so promising. But when it finds it's feet and it's hooves there's no reason why Betway can't be the best way to gamble on line.

I found the website very user-friendly it’s clear and easy to navigate around. There are plenty of sports to bet on with lots of the usual markets, although the lack of horse racing is a big downfall. The free bet is easy to unlock and relates to your first deposit rather than the unit of your first bet stake, so it is slightly different from other bookmakers and a good draw. The minimum withdraw of £20 is slightly unusual but I doubt that will put anyone off. I think they are a solid bookie with a decent website platform. However, in such a saturated market you’ve really got to carve out your own niche and I don’t feel that Betway do that. I’ve been comparing their odds on odds-comparison sites and they don’t seem to be a stand-out on many prices they seem to run a few of the usual promotions but nothing away from the rest of the market and I cannot really see a reason why I should bet with them over another bookmaker running better promotions and offering bigger odds. Would I bet with them again? Yes, it’s a good website with plenty of markets. Will I bet with them again? In reality, probably not, there are so many bookmakers around that you’ve really got to stand out from the crowd and offer me something different.
1 user found this helpful“Free Bets Not Credited”
I have been lucky enough to win 2 free bets in the last 2 months,neither have been credited to the account. There free bet club is pretty good if you bet £25 per week you get £10 in free bets. I dont find the odds that competitive
“Average and can be improved”
Betways is just OK. App works like a 3rd class app. Deposit is slow and takes time. Withdrawal is also difficult sometimes it takes more than 24hrs. I would suggest they improve their overall customer experience
“Not Too good”
Withdraw and cash out services are very poor

“Dont bother”
Opened an account because of sport coverage and odds available with different sports , however they dont like you winning, after just a few days my account was restricted to just a few pence or bets rejected, would have given zero stars if I could
“Dreadful Bookmakers”
I was restricted by how much I could stake on events within 2 weeks of opening my account. They did not Close it but might as well have done
