Betway Betting Review

Founded back in 2006, Betway has become a firm favourite with punters who like to place bets away from the glare of the mainstream.

Set up by a group of sports fanatics who wanted to use their experience to create a more customer-friendly gaming environment, Betway is now a platform where you can "place bets how you like, when you want and wherever you are". Of course, for those of you with an in-depth knowledge of the online sports betting industry, a site developed "by players, for players" is not always the success the owners dreamed it would be.

Indeed, although many punters seem to know what they like, that doesn't necessarily mean they know what everyone else likes. In fact, sometimes one gambler's love is another gambler's hate. Fortunately, Betway's founders have managed to push their personal preferences to one side and simply create a site that's based on a pure betting experience.

Betway betting offers

When you first sign-up to Betway and make your first deposit you'll be eligible for a welcome bonus worth £30. This free bet is subject to certain conditions but is basically a way for you to decrease your risk and increase your EV at the same time.

By using your £30 free bet to supplement your opening wager you can essentially write-off a loss or enhance your returns. Furthermore, once you've used this £30 free bet you'll be part of the Betway+ loyalty programme. Designed to give punters an ongoing series of bonuses, this VIP scheme is great for punters who want to use the Betway Android app on a daily basis.

The final aspect of the Betway Sports which is worthy of a mention is its enhanced odds offers. Changing daily to incorporate a range of different sporting fixtures, this deal basically gives customers a chance to enjoy better odds on a daily basis. Pitched against the industry’s other top operators, users who take advantage of Betway's enhanced odds will typically receive betting lines that are one point better than the market average.

Betway odds and markets

There are a whole host of sports markets available for you at Betway with thousands of individual betting markets. While the bookie offers markets and odds on a great range of sports, it’s, European football leagues that receive the closest attention from this bookmaker.

Just consider the Premier League. They offer over 100 markets for each English Premier League match throughout the season. If you prefer betting on other top European leagues do not worry. For example, they offer over 20 betting markets for Serie A matches, La Liga matches and of course, the Bundesliga.

They may not have the best odds on all markets, but they are still very competitive on the majority of traditional football betting markets.

Betway Premier League betting

Betway offer over 100 markets for every single Premier League match. This means users are spoilt for choice. They also have plenty of in-play options which allows users to bet during a game on a wide range of markets. You can build acca’s on as many games as you like and Betway will always offers a competitive price on the bet.

Betway Cheltenham and Grand National

Betway offer multiple promotions during both the Grand National and Cheltenham Festival. They had plenty of enhanced sign up offers throughout the Festivals, including some massive odds boost on favourites. They also had some great enhancements for all customers that were stand out prices across the industry. Betway offer regular promotions which can be accessed through their site and app either through their promotions section or found on different races, if they are race specific. They also offers best odds guaranteed, which is a nice touch for their users.

Betway website and navigation

In keeping with its easy-to-read ethos, Betway has divided its sports betting platform into two sections: "sports" and "in-play". The former is where you'll find all the forthcoming betting options for every sport imaginable. Whether you're a fan of football or an MMA junkie, this platform has all the future markets laid out for you in two sidebars.

The top sidebar is reserved for quick links which usually means you'll find the latest special offers, combos and themed bets (centred of the major sporting event taking place at the time). Below this you'll find the main widget which outlines all the available betting markets. At this stage things are all very standard, but for Betway's designers the devil is in the detail.

Although it would have been perfectly fine to leave the sidebar as it was and simply link players to each betting market, Betway's team of experts has decided to make the table as efficient as possible with a range of filters.

Depending on your preferences, you can sort the categories and their sub categories in the following ways:

Current and upcoming contests.

Events starting within one hour.

Events starting within four hours.

Events starting within 24 hours.

All events.

While this feature isn't strictly necessary (you could find what you're looking for without it), it is one that serious punters will appreciate. By cutting down the time it takes to find the latest bets, Betway has made it possible for its customers to find the best odds.

Betway Mobile App

The Betway app is a slick, albeit slightly reduced version of the Betway sportsbook. It allows you to place bets very easily on your mobile. With the Betway Sports app it’s very easy to start betting, and it’s also very easy to navigate, which is always positive. There aren’t quite as many markets as on the desktop site but it is still a decent experience and one we would recommend.

How to download the Betway app

To download the Betway app, simply:

• Open up your smartphone
• Search on either Apple Store or Android store for Betway
• Now you have the Betway app on your phone!

Betway Customer Service

Betway have a live chat option which is always handy and they are usually quick to reply. If you would rather call they have a toll free number via: 0808 2389841, or you can mail them via: support@betway.com. Take note that the free phone number is only from local landlines in the UK, so if you’re calling using a mobile you will be charged (those from overseas should add +44 before dialling).

If neither of those options suit you, then you can always contact Betway on Twitter via @betwaysupport.
