Being around since 2002 we cannot say that Betway is new at the block. We notice that because some things seem to be left undone. Live-streaming and In-Play are one of them. We became more demanding for them because for example in bonuses and promotions or in customer support they did a great job. That means that they can do it. And if they do it, they could be listed in top-class bookmakers not only in the UK but globally. Until then they would be an upon average bookmaker who tries hard to make its way. Should we join them? For sure.
Sportsbook
They say that at any given day you can find more than 12.000 markets in their sports book. Naturally, football has a leading role in this bookmaker too. If you look deep inside you can see almost every League and competition you may desire. ItComes of course also with a large number of special markets. Their margin for football is around 4,5%, and it can be considered fair. Sadly Asian Markets are only offered in a minimal part of the sports book, and we honestly hope that this will change shortly.
Regarding other sports, you’ll be excited if you a tennis fan. Lot’s of options, valued odds and great coverage in special markets. Of course, they have all the sports a decent bookmaker will offer to its customers with simply fair odds. E-sports included of course. Summarising we could say that an account in Betway is a must have for football and tennis fans.
In-Play Markets
Not their most active area for sure. They only cover some sports (football, Tennis, Volleyball, Ice-Hockey) with minimal options. And almost zero live-stream coverage. In-Play betting is probably the hottest feature in the gambling industry, and if they want to become a top-level bookmaker, they should do something about it immediately. Below average also are the stats in In-Play section.
Betway Bonus/ Offers
