Betway Bonuses & Promotions

8 / 10

Betway offers a set of bonuses based on bets on a team or player losing games after a significant lead. The set goes under the tagline “You Lead. You Win” and covers some of the popular championships and leagues.

In many countries and on lots of betting sites South Africa, for example new betting sites in Nigeria, users will also enjoy a newcomer bonus on their first deposit. The exact amount of the bonus depends on your location. A user has to wager ten times the amount of the bonus before they are allowed to withdraw it.

Free bet promotions do not have wager requirements; however, when a player wins using a free bet, the initial amount is deducted from the winnings. E.g. if you are placing a €10 free bet and win €40, you will get €30 from the winnings.

Betway Mobile

9 / 10

Betway has Mobile, Android and iOS versions available for its users. They have the same functionality; however, there might be difficulties in obtaining the Android version for the service, as it seems to be unavailable in some countries. The applications are very comfortable to use and provide an enjoyable betting experience.

Betway Credibility

7 / 10

Betway Limited was established in 2006. It holds an MGA/B2C/130/2006 gaming service license from the Malta Gaming Authority and an active license from the Gambling Commission in the UK, as well as several licenses in other European countries.

Since being established in 2006, Betway Casino has been hit with a lot of criticism, with many complaints about the company withholding winnings. However, it seems that Betway lately has got back on track and started to regain its reputation.

The safety of the clients’ funds is being accomplished by placing them in a segregated account separate from the company funds.

The company does not provide public financial reports, which indicates a lack of transparency.

Betway Support

8 / 10

From our experience, contacting Betway support is a challenging task.

Despite having the appropriate section, Betway seemingly deliberately tries to steer their audience to resolve questions without any live help by providing materials to read and to watch. The website has a live chat and email support feature, but it can be rather tricky to navigate the way to them. If a user is intent on contacting support, they have to go into their help section, open any help article, scroll down to inquiry of the usefulness of the article, press “No” and follow on the “Click here to contact us” link, which will finally bring the user to the contact area.

Be advised that email inquiries can take days to be answered.

Phone and live chat working hours vary from area to area.

Overall

8 / 10

Betway had left us with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the company tries to battle its former reputation by offering a competitive betting experience with a variety of markets. On the other hand, the design can be challenging to navigate, and the support options are seemingly being directed at offline FAQ-like help.
