Betway Review 2024

If you’ve watched any top-level football, horse racing or US sports in recent years, you’ve likely seen the name Betway splashed across uniforms and advertising spaces. 

The most well-known brand under the Super Group umbrella, Betway betting sites have popped up all over the globe since its launch in 2006, offering punters a well-rounded sportsbook experience. 

There’s enough to keep most bettors happy on Betway, particularly those that predominantly wager on football and horse racing, while Betway are leading the way when it comes to Esports betting.

Betway run a slick operation across all platforms and make a worthwhile addition to a bettor's arsenal. 

Betway Sign up Offer

New customers to Betway can grab a £30 free bet and 100 free spins at the firm’s online casino, although if you are lucky, you won’t trigger the free bet part of the welcome bonus.

The free bets are only credited if your first accumulator with the bookmaker loses. Should you fail to win that first multiple, Betway will refund your stake in free bets, up to a maximum value of £30. 

To ensure that your first acca is eligible for the offer, you need to tick a few boxes. Qualifying bets must feature at least three selections and have combined odds of 2/1 or higher. 

You’re also restricted to placing an accumulator that only features either football or horse racing selections, although you can wager your free bets on any sport, should you receive them.

The free spins are worth 10p each and must be used on the online slot More Unusual Suspects. 

It’s a slightly restrictive welcome bonus, but there’s the potential for it to be quite lucrative if you can land a £30 accumulator bet.

Betway Promotions For Existing Customers

Betway choose to keep the majority of their promotions and offers hidden away until punters have signed up, but we can tell you what to expect if you decide to open an account.

The standout offer is Betway Sports’s Free Bet Club, but there’s more to discover besides the weekly rewards programme with free-to-play games, odds boosts and more all on offer. 

Betway Football Promotions

Betway’s various partnerships with major football clubs have helped raise its profile as one of the UK’s top football betting sites and those who regularly place accumulator bets will want to take advantage of the Free Bets Club. 

By wagering a minimum of £25 on accas each week, punters are entitled to two £5 free bets, which can be used to bet on football.

During the Premier League season, Betway run a prediction game called 4 to Score, which is free for all punters to have a go at. All you need to do to win £25,000 is correctly predict the first goal scorer in four selected matches.

If no one correctly predicts the first four goalscorers, the jackpot will roll over to the following week, potentially reaching up to £250,000.

The Betway Boosts section will often contain pre-selected accumulators or individual bets for football that have had their odds enhanced significantly. These change daily so make sure to check out what’s on offer regularly, especially ahead of a busy Saturday afternoon. 

Betway Horse Racing Promotions

Betway are towards the front of the pack among horse racing betting sites thanks in part to some interesting offers and promotions. 

Racing punters can avail of the Free Bets Club, giving punters a chance to earn two £5 free bets each week, and play Betway’s 4 to Win game for free each day. 

4 to Win requires bettors to correctly predict the winner of four pre-selected races, giving you a chance to win £1,000. On a Saturday or during the major meetings, the prize pot is boosted to £10,000.

Those punters fancying a Lucky 15, 31 or 63 can look forward to their winnings being boosted should they be successful. Betway will boost any winnings by up to 25%, depending on the size of your Lucky Bet.

Other promotions do pop up from time to time, such as giving away a free accumulator bet each day of the Cheltenham Festival as part of their Cheltenham betting offers.

Otherwise, racing punters can expect Best Odds Guaranteed on UK and Irish races, as well as extra place races and enhanced odds on runners, although the latter pair are only likely to occur during big meetings. 

More Betway Sports Betting Offers

Betway have flown the flag for Esports and are arguably the best Esports betting site out there, offering a large selection of markets, both pre-match and in-play, on a wide variety of games.

Best of all, regular Esports bettors can get a £10 free bet each week through the Esports Club. Punters will just need to wager a minimum of £25 on multiples of two legs or more each week to qualify for the free bet.

Fans of non-virtual sports are advised to check out the Betway Boosts section each day, where you’ll find enhanced odds on a wide range of sports with regular boosts on tennis, golf, cricket, rugby and darts.

In-Play Betting Options & Features

Betway’s scores highly with this reviewer as far as live betting sites go, with a dedicated in-play betting section on both the desktop and mobile app.

Scrolling through the in-play element shows which events are available to bet on in-play right now and what's coming up later.

Being able to see the current odds for a range of markets without going into an event is a nice feature, meaning you can see all the both teams to score or total goals live odds on the football matches taking place at that time on the same page.

Enhancing Betway’s in-play service are the copious amount of live streams they offer on a large range of sports, the majority of which can be enjoyed by punters for free.

Betway will often provide live stats on their in-play events, while they offer cash out on a good number of markets, with little lag between hitting cash out and getting paid.

Bet Builder

Betway’s bet builder tool is nice and easy to find on selected football matches. They are lagging behind other bet builder sites at the moment by only offering it on major European football fixtures. 

That’s a shame as I’ve found it to be one of the more superior bet builders on the market, allowing you to combine up to 10 selections into a single bet. 

Assembling a bet builder is straightforward with Betway making it easy to keep track of your odds as you piece together a bet. 

If you are lacking in inspiration, you can opt for a pre-selected bet builder from the list of popular bets on the match market page.

Depositing & Withdrawing at Betway

Betway Mobile Betting Review

Betway’s betting app is well-liked by Apple and Android users alike, receiving 4.2 out of five on Google’s Play Store and an impressive score of 4.8 on the App Store.

The biggest gripe about the app among users seems to be that it can be sluggish, but I had no such issues and found it to be quick and easy to get a bet on.

Other bettors have praised the layout, and I couldn’t fault it, with various markets or different sections of the Betway brand, such as the Betway casino, only a few taps away. 

The app offers the same excellent in-play service as the desktop site, including a copious number of live streams so you can watch and bet on your mobile device.
