Betway Review

Gaming Experience

Betway provides a solid list of around 30 sports, comprising an eclectic mix of old favourites and a few unusual ones like bandy, which is similar to ice hockey with a football and kabaddi, an Asian contact sport with some interesting rules!

There is also a good selection of non-sporting options covering politics, currencies and TV shows. Betway boasts that around 12,000 wagering options are available at any given time, which means there is plenty for you to choose.

Boxing

Betway loves boxing! Not only does it sponsor some significant fights, but it also offers you some of the best odds and options available for wagering on them too. Even a straightforward ‘fight-winner’ wager will often have slightly better odds at Betway, but if you are thinking a little more involved, this is the sportsbook to use as Betway offers numerous markets that include Round, Outcome and Points betting. The Twitter-based ‘Bet Your Way’ option will supply you with odds, even if your wagering idea is unavailable on the sportsbook.

American Sports

Betway is considered to be one of the best sportsbooks outside of the US for its coverage and extended market opportunities for American football, ice hockey, baseball and basketball.

It consistently displays better odds than any other European sportsbook for US sports and runs specials for every major series and competition including unique accumulators, free bets and cashback specials. Even if you are not entirely familiar with these sports, Betway has a superb, statistics and tipping service to help you out with wagering.

Unusual Sports

Just so you can get an idea of Betway’s level of diversity, all you need to do is scroll down its list of the sports regularly available to bettors; there are certainly a few there that do not appear on the majority of sportsbooks lists.

It is most refreshing to know that you can wager on something a bit different: hurling, Gaelic football, bandy, Kabaddi and Handball are all available. If you so wish, you can even view live beach volleyball while you bet on it. Add to that, one of the biggest virtual and Esport lists we have seen and Betway has just about everything covered.

Novelty Betting

With the recent increase in popularity of wagering on events alongside sports, Betway has gone all out to provide one of the most comprehensive novelty betting sections available in the sportsbook sector.

At any given time, Betway offers around 50 individual opportunities under its ‘Specials’ and ‘Politics’ tabs, accessed from the sports menu. So whether you want to gamble on who will be the next James Bond or how much Star Wars Episode IX will gross in its first week, if Betway does not already have odds posted, it will create them for you.

Betway’s entire operation, including the sportsbook, is powered by Microgaming, one of the most prolific gambling software companies in the world and the oldest, having been responsible for the world’s first online gambling site, launched in 1994.

However, it is always good to know that there is human back up should you need it and Betway’s customer support team is available to contact 24 hours per day, every day of the year.
