Betway Loyalty Programs

Betway does not currently offer a loyalty or VIP rewards program. While the site features ongoing promotions like the Prize Wheel and Casino Club for returning players, there is no structured rewards system for high rollers or frequent bettors.

Sports Available

Betway provides a strong selection of sports, covering both popular and niche markets. While some competitors, like Sports Interaction, offer even more obscure sports such as water polo, chess, and biathlon, Betway excels with its dedicated eSports section. However, the absence of horse racing betting is a noticeable gap.

Popular Sports:

• NFL
• NBA
• NHL
• MLB
• Golf
• International soccer leagues and tournaments (EPL, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Champions League, Europa League, FIFA World Cup)
• Tennis (ATP and WTA events)

Betting Markets

Betway covers all the key betting markets expected at a top-tier sportsbook. I found its odds to be competitive compared to other sportsbooks like Sports Interaction and Bodog. Betway’s standard odds for spreads and totals are typically -110, though line-shopping can uncover slight variations among competitors.

Popular Markets:

• Moneyline
• Point Spreads
• Totals
• Alternate Spreads and Totals
• Props
• Futures

Unique Markets:

• Player Props
• Team Props
• Game Props
• Quarter Betting
• Half Betting
• Parlay Builders
• Fast Markets (First to X Points)

Bet Types

Betway caters to all levels of bettors, offering everything from single bets to advanced options like Same-Game Parlays via the Parlay Builder. While alternate lines are available, the omission of standard teaser bets is a downside. Betway Boosts provide enhanced odds, but unlike some competitors, the platform doesn’t display how much odds have improved.

Common Bet Types:

• Single Bets
• Parlays
• Prop Bets
• Boosted Odds

Advanced Bet Types:

• Same-Game Parlay (Parlay Builder)
• Cash-Outs
• Doubles, Trebles, Four-Folds, Five-Folds
• Canadian (Super Yankee)
• Lucky-31, Lucky-63
• Heinz

eSports

Betway has a dedicated eSports section, making it a great choice for gaming enthusiasts. Live eSports events are prominently displayed, and bettors can live stream matches while placing bets. The E-Leagues section offers virtual sports betting, though during my review, only e-Soccer was available. Betway’s eSports coverage rivals TonyBet and surpasses Sports Interaction, which does not currently offer eSports betting.

Popular Games Covered:

• CS2
• League of Legends
• Dota 2
• Dota 2 Duels
• VALORANT
• Call of Duty
• Rainbow Six
• CS2 Duels
• E-Leagues (eSoccer – Adriatic League, GT Leagues)

Live Betting

Betway’s live betting experience is well-designed, with clear alerts highlighting currently available games. While live streaming isn’t heavily promoted, I was able to stream select ATP tennis matches. Matches that offer live streaming are marked with a TV icon. The live betting interface also provides real-time odds updates, cash-out options, and detailed in-game statistics to help with betting decisions.

Key Features:

• Live streaming of eSports and select sporting events
• Dynamic odds updates (green for rising, red for falling)
• Multiple alerts to highlight live events
• Cash-Outs

My Experience

Finding live betting options at Betway was straightforward, and the live statistics were useful for in-game bets. However, while live streaming is available, its coverage seemed somewhat limited. Expanding the number of leagues and events with streaming would make Betway’s live betting experience even better.

Slots

Betway’s Slots section boasts an impressive 889 titles, covering a wide range of themes and game mechanics. Players can search by game title or category, with options including Jackpots, Bonus Buys, Megaways, and Stepper Slots.

I found several branded slot games, such as The Flintstones, UFC, Lara Croft, Jurassic World, and Terminator.

For those seeking big wins, the Jackpot category features 13 slots, with several games offering jackpots exceeding $1.3 million.

Total Slots Available: 889

My Favorite Games:

• Release The Kraken Megaways – Features wild respins, free spins, and max wins up to 10,000x.
• Immortal Romance – Offers four progressive jackpots and 12,000x win potential.
• deadmau5 – Combines electronic beats with random wild reels and up to 25 free spins.

Special Features:

• Jackpots
• Multipliers
• Free games & spins
• Cluster Pays & Scatter Pays
• Megaways

Table Games

Betway provides a diverse selection of table games, including 47 blackjack, 40 roulette, and 32 baccarat titles. Variants include Speed, Free Bet, Multi-Hand, and Side Bet games.

Themed tables add variety, with Vegas, Dragon Tiger, and sports-themed versions available. However, I noticed RTP (Return to Player) information was missing from many games.

Total Table Games Available: 119

My Favorite Titles:

• High Streak Blackjack – Side bets allow streak wins up to 18x.
• Soccer Striker Roulette – Includes a 1,000x bonus game.
• Epic Strike Roulette 9 Masks of Fire – Lucky numbers unlock up to 1,222x multipliers.

Special Features:

• Themed tables (sports, Vegas, etc.)
• Free plays & multipliers
• Streak payouts
• Multi-Hand & Side Bets

Live Casino

The Live Casino at Betway is well-stocked with 172 live dealer games, featuring roulette (56), baccarat (31), blackjack (19), poker (10), game shows (23), and dice games (8).

During my testing, I appreciated detailed live stats for roulette, which showed hot/cold numbers and percentage outcomes. Dealers were friendly, engaging, and greeted me by name.

Sports fans will enjoy live casino games with football, hockey, basketball, and cricket themes.

Total Live Casino Games Available: 172

Popular Live Games:

Special Features:

Specialty Games

Betway has a strong selection of specialty games, particularly Slingo and Bingo. I found 10 Slingo titles (Sweet Bonanza, Super Spin, Big Wheel) and 9 Bingo games (Crazy Monkey, American Gold, Immortal Romance).

One standout game was Slingo Big Wheel, where Wilds and Super Wilds help complete Slingos for bigger wins.

In the Crash category, I found a live stock market game, but it was unavailable during my review.

Total Specialty Games Available: 29 (spread across multiple categories)

Popular Titles:

• Slingo
• Bingo
• Instant Win Games
• Crash Games

Special Features:

• Bonus rounds & multipliers
• Wilds & Super Wilds

Video Poker

Betway provides a solid variety of video poker games, available both in the casino section and under the Poker tab.

There are 19 different video poker titles, including Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, and Joker Poker. Some games feature jackpots and prize drops, and I even found a Playboy-themed Jacks or Better game.

Betway also offers ongoing poker tournaments, such as a Double Double Bonus Poker event with a $50,000 prize pool.

Total Video Poker Games Available: 19

Popular Titles:

• Jacks or Better Poker
• All Aces Power Poker
• Double Joker Power Poker
• Tens or Better

Special Features:

• Multi-hand play (up to 50 hands)
• Tournaments

My Experience

Making deposits and withdrawals at Betway was simple and hassle-free. Using Interac for deposits was instant, and INSTADEBIT withdrawals were processed within 24 hours.

• • Recommended Deposit Method: Interac e-Transfer
  • Recommended Withdrawal Method: INSTADEBIT

Support Channels and Availability:

• Live Chat

How I Tested Support

While Betway advertises live chat, I was unable to open the chat function despite multiple attempts on desktop, mobile, and the app. This is a significant area for improvement, as reliable customer support is essential for a top-tier sportsbook.

License Authority

• Alderney Gambling Control Commission
• Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (iGaming Ontario)

Betway operates under two recognized regulatory bodies. While licensing details are minimal on the site, these organizations ensure fairness and compliance.

Encryption Technology

Betway employs 128-bit SSL encryption and fraud prevention policies to protect user data.

• Links to problem gambling organizations (Connex Ontario, Gambling Therapy, Responsible Gambling Council, etc.)
• Self-assessment test

• Short-term account closures (1 day – 3 months)

Usability Features

Finding popular sports and promotions was simple, but an improvement area is that the desktop site does not auto-resize, requiring manual adjustments. Additionally, text on information pages was small, making readability harder.

Mobile Experience

Betway offers a downloadable mobile app for iOS (4.8 rating) and Android (4.6 rating). While navigation is nearly identical to the desktop version, I noticed two different casino lobbies depending on where you access it from, which could be confusing.

• Lots of live betting options
• Extensive casino and live dealer games, including poker
• Live streaming for select sports, including eSports and lower-tier soccer
