Betway Reviews 2025: All-Round Bookmaker With Odds Boosts

Gambling.com Rating: 7.9/10

Our Verdict: A good site for soccer and horse racing betting - but better rugby odds and promotions would be nice.

Quick Summary: Betway at a Glance

Betway is a user-friendly betting site with lots of valuable odds boosts.

I like using this bookie for soccer and horse racing betting, as the odds often beat leading competitors, even before boosts are applied.

However, I'd like to see a few more promotions for rugby betting. Also, the prices for rugby aren't as competitive as they are for soccer and horse racing, in my experience.

Betway has a really polished mobile app and regular perks for existing customers.

It's also a really good option if you're into Esports betting, with a hub that features live streams and real-time odds for all the big Esports events.

Betway Welcome Offer vs Offers From Competitors

I signed up as a new customer and claimed the Betway welcome offer by depositing $100, which the bookmaker matched with a free bet. 

To activate it, I had to place a qualifying bet equal to my deposit. All deposits have a 6x playthrough requirement before the free bet is released.

You can claim up to $150 if you're willing to deposit that much, meaning this is a solid enough deal compared to equivalent welcome offers from other betting sites.

However, the 6x wagering requirement isn't ideal, so I'd like to see this removed from the terms of the offer.

Betway Horse Racing Betting

I rate Betway as one of the best horse racing betting sites for a number of reasons.

I've bet on races from Australia, the UK, Ireland, France, and the USA, and I've found that streams are usually available to watch when I place a bet of $1 or more.

The horse racing odds are rarely beaten by competitors, often providing the best value when I compare prices from a number of sites.

When you factor in regular promotions like extra places and enhanced odds, Betway delivers a quality horse racing betting experience overall.

My one criticism is that I'd like some money-back offers to be made available.

Betway Rugby Betting

Betway has a really impressive range of rugby betting markets, across both league and union codes.

An average NRL game comes with over 40 pre-game betting options, while big All Blacks games can feature up to 100 markets to bet on.

The site is officially partnered with the Springboks, which adds credibility in rugby circles.

However, I've noticed that for All Blacks games and Super Rugby clashes, other rugby betting sites like BetVictor often have better odds than Betway.

This is particularly the case for long-term futures markets.

Betway Cricket Betting

I’ve found Betway is strong on market depth for cricket betting, with over 100 pre-match options for major matches.

There’s no dedicated same-game multi for cricket, which is a negative, but I have been able to request custom cricket bets using the #BetYourWay hashtag on social media.

Betway's cricket odds are competitive, but the lack of live cricket streams is a clear downside - especially with rivals like bet365 offering extensive live coverage.

Overall, this is a solid cricket betting site, even if it's missing a couple of extra features that I'd appreciate.

Betway Soccer Betting

Soccer is clearly a priority at Betway, with the site sponsoring major English Premier League teams like Manchester City, along with over 30 clubs worldwide.

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

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

Most online bookies only show lower-profile games, so this was a welcome surprise for me.

Betway Tennis Betting

Betway delivers a strong tennis betting experience.

I’ve found outright, pre-match, and live markets to be extensive, with odds that consistently beat rival sites like William Hill across ATP, WTA, and Challenger events.

Live streaming is a major plus. While testing, I watched several ATP Madrid matches through the Betway app, which ran smoothly.

Betway Golf Betting

Betway has a broad range of markets for the golf tournaments it covers, although I did notice that 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 15.0 with bet365 for the same tournament.

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

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

Combat Sports at Betway

Betway has everything needed to bet on boxing or MMA - with lots of markets and competitive odds.

Unlike some bookmakers that focus solely on the UFC, Betway offers prices on other MMA promotions including Bellator, PFL, EFC and KSW.

Betting options across boxing and MMA include round betting, method of victory and total round handicaps.

Odds boosts are a welcome feature for major fight nights, though I'd like to see enhancements rolled out to a greater number of bouts.

More Sports & Special Markets at Betway

Betway has betting markets for more than 30 sports, including major North American sports like basketball and baseball.

NHL and NBA games are streamed live on the site and app, so I highly recommend Betway if you're a hockey or basketball betting fan.

I'd like to see a lot more markets and promotions offered for Formula 1 betting, however.

Betway really shines with Esports betting. There's a dedicated Esports section accessible from the homepage and most Esports tournaments can be watched live at Betway, including the League of Legends EMEA Championship.

Betway Odds & Range of Markets

Betway offers competitive pricing, often outperforming established bookmakers for key markets.

In a comparison of 10 Premier League soccer fixtures, Betway provided the best odds on either the result or BTTS market in seven out of 10 games - narrowly beating bet365 and BetVictor.

Horse racing is a similar story, with prices consistently providing lots of value.

Rugby odds can lag slightly behind, however, as I touched on earlier in the review.

Market variety is right up there when it comes to sports like soccer and horse racing. 

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

However, sports like F1 should come with more betting options.

Betway Same-Game Multi

Betway recently expanded its same-game multi beyond just soccer to include all major North American sports as well.

It's a good sign that the site is innovating - but Betway still has a long way to go to match bet365's same-game multi, which covers 14 sports, compared to five at Betway.

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

The only small snag is that you can’t mix markets from different fixtures into a multi-game builder. 

Newer sites like Bzeebet have this feature, and hopefully Betway brings it in soon.

Live Betting at Betway

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

Live streaming is a standout feature here, covering soccer, horse racing, greyhound racing, basketball, baseball, hockey, darts, tennis, and more.

Streams are marked with a green play icon and work well on both 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 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. However, the flashing promotions on the home screen are a bit too in-your-face.

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

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 betting 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 4.6/5 user rating on Google Play and 4.7/5 on the App Store.
