Betway Reviews 2025: All-Round Sportsbook With Free Bet Club

Gambling.com Rating: 7.7/10

Our Verdict: Betway has most bases covered for Canadian bettors. There are special promotions for sports like basketball, baseball and hockey - but NFL odds are sometimes beaten by competitors.

Quick Summary: Betway at a Glance

Betway is a global betting site with a dedicated Canadian sportsbook, featuring special offers for popular sports like hockey.

I like using this bookie for NHL betting in particular, as the odds often beat the competition. 

However, the same can't always be said for NFL games, in my experience.

This is also a good site to use for betting on soccer or baseball. 

Both sports come with regular promotions and live streams (the vast majority of MLB games are shown live on the site and app).

The app is really polished overall and there were lots of perks available after I signed up, like odds boosts and a Free Bet Club.

However, I'd like to see the live chat customer support service improved.

I'd also like a bigger welcome offer for new users. The sign up bonus provides decent value, but it's not one of the best around.

Betway Welcome Offer vs Offers From Competitors

Betway's welcome offer is a money-back deal, refunding your first wager (if it loses) with a free bet worth a maximum of $200.

I simply selected the offer from a checklist when registering - it's easy to find.

When I placed a $100 NHL bet (which lost) a $100 free bet was added to my account balance within 30 minutes. 

The terms of the offer state that the free bet will always be awarded within an hour and this tallies with my experience.

I like the fact that there are no wagering requirements with the free bet. I also got free spins with my refund, although I'm not really a slots player, so they went to waste on me.

It's a decent offer overall, but the refund deals from sites like William Hill and BetVictor are bigger, as you'll see from the comparison table below.

Sportsbook	How to Qualify	Bonus Value
	Bet $10-200	Up to $200 Refund if Bet Loses
	Bet $10-500	Up to $500 Refund if Bet Loses
	Bet $10-$400	Up to $400 Refund if Bet Loses
	Deposit $10-350	Deposit Matched up to $350
	Deposit $10-2000	Deposit Matched up to $2000
	Deposit $10-250	Deposit Matched up to $200 + 25% Extra

Top 5 Betway Offers For Existing Customers

Betway's existing customer offers include loyalty free bets and high-value odds boosts.

The 'Super Boost' is one to keep an eye out for. Betway generally selects one market for a major boost to each day - with the odds often doubled.

Boosts are more commonly offered during big sporting events. 

Big NHL playoff games often have five or more markets boosted, from what I've seen.

Betway Hockey Betting

I find that Betway does most things right when it comes to NHL betting.

All the markets you'd hope to find for hockey are available, with odds that generally match or beat the best NHL betting sites.

The NHL same-game parlay is impressively flexible. It allowed me to combine team markets like puck lines and total goals with player markets like goals, assists, or powerplay points.

Another positive is the amount of NHL special offers, including boosted odds and double winnings on first goal scorer bets if your player scores twice.

The Free Bet Club applies to hockey, so you'll get $10 in free bets if you place $25 on hockey parlays in the space of a week.

The only real negative is that Betway doesn't show streams of NHL games. William Hill is a better option if you want to watch NHL while you bet.

Betway Football Betting

Betway's market depth is impressive for the NFL and the CFL, with a broad range of futures, pre-game, and live betting markets.

A lot of online sportsbooks come from companies with roots outside of Canada - so unfortunately they often overlook Canadian football.

Betway's parent company isn't Canadian but the CFL still gets proper treatment.

There are dozens of markets for each game and futures odds include the Most Outstanding Player award and regular season win totals.

The big downside to Betway's NFL offering is that sites like Sports Interaction and Bet99 often have better NFL odds, judging by my latest research.

On the plus side, you'll often find more than 10 enhanced prices available on a typical NFL Sunday, with this number boosted significantly during the playoffs.

Betway Baseball Betting

It’s hard to fault Betway’s baseball betting offering.

MLB games typically feature 120 to 150 markets, including moneylines, totals, inning props, and player statss.

I've combined lots of these into same-game parlays.

The live betting interface is impressive and MLB live streams have now been added.

Most games can be watched on the site or app (via the green TV icon), with only a slight delay, which means the odds are sometimes locked while the stream catches up.

Beyond the MLB, Betway also covers Minor League Baseball, NCAA, and even Japanese baseball.

With a range of markets, live streams, and consistently strong odds, I highly recommend Betway for baseball betting in Canada.

Betway Basketball Betting

Betway has some impressive odds and offers for betting on basketball. However, there's no NBA same-game parlay, which is a big negative.

I requested custom bets on single games using the #betyourway hashtag on X.com, but I couldn't build SGPs on the Betway site itself.

This needs to be addressed if Betway is to compete with the best NBA sportsbooks, like 888sport.

I'd also like to see more NBA boosts offered. For example, on a game-night featuring two NBA playoff games (Nuggets@Thunder & Cavaliers@Pacers), I only found two markets boosted.

Having said that, the NBA odds offered here are consistently up there with the best in the business.

They've also taken the time to create unique NBA promos like the 'Double Winnings' offer. 

Take odds on a player to score the first basket and your profits double if the last score of the game is a three-pointer.

Betway Soccer Betting

Soccer is clearly a priority at Betway, with sponsorships of English Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City demonstrating this site's commitment to the sport.

Odds are consistently strong and football fixtures often get the biggest price boosts.

I've been really impressed by the live streaming service, which includes top leagues like Italy's Serie A, the German Bundesliga, France's Ligue 1, and the Dutch Eredivisie.

Most soccer betting sites with streaming only show lower-profile games, so this was a welcome surprise.

Betway Golf Betting

Betway has a broad range of markets for the golf tournaments it covers, although I did notice LIV Golf odds aren't available, which is a bit of a negative.

In general, the odds are up there with prices from the best golf betting sites. 

For example, I got 19.0 for Xander Schauffele to win a PGA Tour event, when he was priced at 13.0 with 888sport for the same tournament.

All angles from the majors are covered, as well as the PGA and European Tours. 

Golf promos include a 20% parlay bonus for winning golf parlays.

I've also found that the site’s blog, Betway Insider, can be a useful source of information, with expert golf tips provided ahead of major championships.

Betway Odds & Range of Markets

Betway has value pricing for most sports, often outperforming the majority of sportsbooks for key markets.

In a comparison of 10 Premier League soccer fixtures, Betway provided the best odds on the game result market in seven out of 10 games - narrowly beating BetVictor.

However, Betway's pricing is less dominant in some areas. For NFL games, the odds can be a slight letdown, as I've touched on already.

Market variety is also right up there when it comes to popular sports like hockey and basketball, although sports like Formula 1 should come with more betting options.

The #betyourway hashtag is there as a backup if you have an X account and want odds on a market that hasn't been priced up.

I usually get quick responses when I look for custom odds this way.

Betway Same-Game Parlay

Betway recently expanded its same-game parlay beyond just soccer to include major Canadian sports like hockey.

It's a good sign that the site is continuously innovating, although there is no NBA SGP on the Betway Canada site yet.

I notice that basketball same-game parlays are available for Betway customers in other regions, so I expect this feature to be added for Canadian bettors soon.

The sports with place same-game parlays currently are soccer, hockey, football and baseball.

I found the SGP tool easy to use and there's a tab filled with pre-built bets, in case you need inspiration.

Note that the same-game parlay at Betway is called a 'Bet Builder', so wherever you see this icon on the site, you can place an SGP.

	Up to 10	4 Sports in Total
	Up to 8	3 Sports in Total

Live Betting at Betway

Betway offers a strong live betting experience, with fast-loading odds and quick navigation, so I've been able to place live bets easily.

Live streaming is impressive, covering soccer, horse racing, greyhound racing, baseball, tennis, and more.

Streams are marked with a green play icon and work well on desktop and mobile platforms, in my experience.

When streaming isn’t available, Betway provides live graphic trackers, real-time stats, form guides, and text commentary.

All of this information is presented in a visually pleasing way, where you can scroll easily between different views.

The cash out tool is widely available across sports and supports both full and partial cash outs.

User Experience & Site Design

The desktop layout of the Betway site isn't the most inspiring. 

There's a bit too much going on for me, even if the signature black, green and grey colour scheme is easy on the eye.

On the mobile browser version of the site, it's easier to navigate.

I like how Betway's best odds boosts are easy to access from the home screen, although slot games are promoted within the sports section, which is a bit distracting for bettors who don't have an interest in casino games.

Overall, it's a strong user experience, although I find more minimalist sites like Pribet easier to navigate.

For the quickest loading times, I recommend downloading the app, which I'll cover in more detail shortly.

Depositing & Withdrawing Funds

Betway Betting App

The Betway betting app delivers a streamlined experience and is faster and more responsive than the mobile browser site.

However, similar to the mobile browser version, the layout and homepage could be refined to make thing easier to navigate.

During testing, the app performed well on iOS and Android, with no lag or freezing, even when navigating between live markets.

User reviews echo this sentiment: the app holds an impressive 4.4/5 average user rating on Google Play and 4.8/5 on the App Store.
