Our verdict

Betway is run by Betway Limited and has been around since 2005, which makes it one of the older names here. It holds licences from the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority and three further regulators. It has iOS and Android apps and a site in seven listed languages.

We have not scored Betway: too little is verified so far, though what we have is encouraging. The licence group is 10 out of 10 thanks to the UKGC, and safety also scores 10. Live betting and a bet builder exist, but streaming and cash out are not listed. Responsible gambling tools, support and fees are missing from our file, so the full picture is still open.

What we like

UKGC and MGA licences, with three more regulators
Operating since 2005
PayPal, Apple Pay and 12 deposit methods in total
15 sports including esports

What could be better

No streaming or cash out listed
Bank and card payouts take 48 to 120 hours
Responsible gambling tools and support not verified
Fees, limits and minimums not published in our file

Betway's licences and owner

Betway Limited runs the brand, which dates to 2005. It holds five licences: the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, the Gaming Commission of Ghana and the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator. Our scoring uses the strictest one, the UKGC, so the licence group reaches 10. See the methodology for how this is weighed.

Restricted countries are not listed in the terms we checked.

Sports coverage

Fifteen sports are on file: American football, baseball, basketball, boxing, cricket, esports, football, Formula 1, golf, ice hockey, horse racing, table tennis, tennis, MMA and volleyball. The markets group scores 7 out of 10.

In-play betting and bet builder

Live betting and a bet builder are available. Live streaming and cash out are not listed for Betway, so do not count on watching a match in the app or settling a bet early.

Margin and pricing

We have not sampled Betway's margins yet, so no price comparison is offered.

Payments and payout speed

Deposits accept PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Paysafecard, Trustly, Neosurf, instaDebit, iDebit, Payz, TrueLayer and bank transfer. Withdrawals use PayPal, cards, Interac, bank transfer, instaDebit, iDebit, Payz and Trustly. No crypto is listed.

E-wallet payouts run 0 to 24 hours, while bank and card payouts take 48 to 120 hours. Pending time can reach 72 hours. Minimums, fees and caps are unknown. Accounts can be held in nine currencies, including GBP, EUR, CAD and USD.

Responsible gambling and help

Our file does not yet confirm any responsible gambling tools or support channels for Betway. A UKGC licence normally brings strict player-protection duties, but we only report what we have verified. Bet within a budget; this is for adults 18+.
