Betway Sports Review

Review last updated on May 6, 2021

The Betway brand has provided multichannel gambling services since 2006. Within the marketplace, one of the largest ranges of sports betting opportunities can be found at Betway Sports Ireland. Irish players can find traditional sports and eSports either pre-match or live via mobile and desktop devices.

Sports

More than 30 sporting categories are covered, thus giving Betway Sports one of the largest ranges in the industry. A smaller range of 10 categories is then enhanced by also having access to in-play betting. Among those to receive this special functionality are football, tennis, basketball, hockey, table tennis, cricket, darts, rugby union, greyhounds, and eSports.

We found that football was the most active of all of the sports. When exploring the football section, a user can check out the tabs for popular, live odds, boosted odds, and coupons, while below there will be the top competitions from around the world. Within an actual game, meanwhile, a punter can bet on in-game markets such as over/under goals, handicap bets, bookings, both teams to score, and players statistics.

When reviewing Betway, we found it possible to view live streams of select sports and competitions. To find this option, you can open a specific match and select the live stream from among the features. You can also find tabs that will enable you to monitor the latest statistics and the current line-ups where available.

At Betway, eSports is a rising section for the site and you can have access to one of the more filled-out ranges of odds and markets. Within eSports, the games covered will include CS:GO, League of Legends, Dota 2, Call of Duty, Overwatch, StarCraft 2, StarCraft Brood War, King of Glory, and VALORANT.

Banking

For the majority of payment methods, we found that it was possible to lodge €10 or more within a Betway Sports account. This is a reasonable value when analysed within the wider industry. To make a payment, a user can select from options such as NETELLER, EntroPay, Skrill, ecoPayz, GiroPay, paysafecard, VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, iDeal, Trustly, and WebMoney.

Mobile

Betway Sports has developed a specialised mobile betting app that can be natively installed on either iOS or Android. This provides a direct platform through which users can quickly access tens of sports and thousands of betting markets from across the world. As with the desktop platform, we find it was possible to place bets pre-match or in-play. The native app isn’t the only way to play, though, with Betway also functioning in HTML5 web browsers like Chrome or Firefox.

VIP & Bonuses

Betway Sports regularly offers opportunities for users to claim promotions to enhance their bankroll. One of the key offers is the Betway Free Bet Club that users can join by wagering €25 or more each week on trebles or accumulators. During our review, we find it possible to claim €10 worth of bets on a weekly basis from the initiative.

Security & Fairplay

In proving a secure platform, we found that Betway Sports operates with a Cloudflare encryption certificate, which is the industry standard with many of the other top iGaming brands. To ensure security, fairness, and integrity, Betway requires users to verify their identity and provides access to responsible gaming controls. Regarding the licence, Betway has obtained an official document from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).

Support

Users who require support can find one of the largest ranges of documents available among any sports betting sites in the market. We saw guides relating to terms, privacy, responsible gaming, customer funds, and bonus requirements. When focusing on communication, Betway has options for document verification as well as a live chat interface.

FAQ

Can I change how the odds are displayed?

Yes – go to the “Decimal” button on the main menu to switch the odds into one of the alternative formats, which are fractional or American.

How can I activate live chat?

Go to the help section and find the one that is most relevant to your issue. Click a question and then answer “no” if the answer is helpful. You will then be given the option to contact Betway. You can then submit your username and password to engage via live chat.

Can I cash out early on bets?

Yes – there is a cash-out feature that can be used on single, multiple, or system bets on a pre-match or in-play basis. However, it won’t be possible to cash out on each-way bets.

What are Betway Daily Boosts?

These are bets that have been handpicked to receive a boost in the odds. We found all of the current odds available on the Betway Boosts page.

What can I expect regarding responsible gaming procedures?

Betway offers the option of directing users to support organisations where self-assessment can be undertaken. Meanwhile, the operator performs identity checks and offers access to account controls, such as self-exclusion and deposit limits.
