Available sports on Betway – 4

Now for the proper Betway sports review, we have to look at the sports events and sports markets offered on Betway.

Betway offers a variety of sports games, Olympic events, casinos games, and even special events such as election betting, weather betting, etc. But sports fans are favoured as Betway offers every popular sport and even the less popular ones like Pesapallo, Snooker, and Biathlon games.

Below is a list of popular sports and sports events offered on Betway.

Betway offers several football games from over 70 leagues worldwide, including the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, etc.

eSports is one of the fastest-rising sports categories in the world at the moment, with several professional teams and leagues being formed. Betway played a role as one of the very first sponsors of an e-Sport team, the Ninjas in Pyjamas team.

Sports like horse racing and greyhound racing are also missing from the Betway Nigeria site.

In our Betway sports review, we have looked at the various games offered by Betway and those offered by the competitors. While Betway markets are competitive, we feel they can do better.

Betway Casino Review – 5

With over 500 casino games, Betway offers the most casino games than any other sportsbook brand. 

Casino games provide an alternate type of betting for punters who are not sports fans, and Betway meets that demand by providing a robust casino platform. Casino games are also enjoyable to play and are available all year as opposed to seasonal sports games.

Betway also offers a Live casino for a more realistic experience of playing casino games. This Betway casino review looks at the several casino games and the bonus offered for Casino players.

Tables

Table games are the next set of games on Betway that have a lot of variety. These games are typically played against a dealer rather than against other players, making it the perfect game to relax with. Betway offers several forms of table games, such as Baccarat, Blackjack, Craps, Sic Bo, and Random number games, e.g. Wheel of fortune, Roulette, etc.

Slots

Betway offers over 300 slot games on its casino platform. The slot games come in various themes and styles of play. You have options from the classic 3-reel fruit slots to the 5-reel video slots. And Betway offers you free slot spins and bonus levels if you consistently play on the platform.

Progressives

If you are interested in winning big, you have to pay attention to the progressive jackpot games offered on Betway. There are a couple of them, but Betway offers one of the best odds on casino games, so you can be sure of winning big.

Video poker

Betway offers a series of non-stop entertainment on their video poker platform. Even though this set of poker games are simulated and different from the poker games on the live casino platform.

Blackjack

Blackjack is a favourite among casino players as it is easy to get the hang of. Betway offers several versions, such as the classic Blackjack Gold series, which you play against a dealer. If you want something more active, you can opt for the Vegas Strip Blackjack. There are other versions of Blackjack games offered on the live casino platform.

Live Casino/Games

Betway offers casino lovers a wonderful experience with their live casino platform. With real-life dealers and players, Betway makes their live casino as realistic as possible. There is a collection of Baccarat live games, Poker live games, Roulette live games, and the most popular casino game – Blackjack. There are also online live versions of popular Game Shows like Deal or No Deal, Monopoly, Megaball, etc.

Betway surpasses its competitors in the casino arena with the sheer number of games. But that is not all that was considered in our Betway casino review. We looked at the live casino and the odds of various games on the casino, and we found it competitive. 

Microgaming supplies the casino games’ software on Betway and is one of the best in the business. The games are audited by eCOGRA, so you can be sure of the fairness of the games the bookmaker offers.

We rate the Betway casino a 5/5.

Betway Casino: Welcome Bonus – Terms and condition

In conducting this Betway casino review, we searched for a Betway bonus for the casino and found none. The current welcome bonus offer is only for the sports market and jackpot games, but there may be a casino bonus in the future.

Odds on Betway  – 4

Our Betway review of the odds on Betway shows that there are not the best odds available. Some other bookmakers offer better odds, but Betway odds are very competitive.

But the bookmaker makes up for it by the welcome bonus and the multiple bet boost of up to 250%. Also, punters can use accumulator bets and Betway’s Build-a-bet to increase their winnings.

Streaming and live betting on Betway – 4

Betway offers streaming of live games through their Betway TV. Betway TV was recently launched, offering fewer games on sports events like tennis, football, ice hockey, volleyball, etc. The bookmaker adds other games as they get permission from the organisers of the event.

Watching game events on Betway is free, but the customer must have a positive deposit in his Betway balance.

The bookmaker also offers live betting on some games and, coupled with live streaming. You can place in-play bets as the action unfolds.

Many markets have the live betting option, and the in-play odds for games are very competitive.

Betway also offers statistics per game and historical head-to-head statistics for you to make informed bets.

Our Betway review of the live streaming and live betting is that it is almost perfect.

Betway mobile app – 5

The Betway mobile app is the mobile betting platform of Betway. It has a nice interface and is very easy to use. It mirrors the website, so you can use the app if you can use the mobile site.

Benefits of using the Betway app include:

• It uses less data than the website.
• It loads faster.
• You can access several promotions from the promotions tab on the mobile app.

To use the Betway app to sign up, deposit money, place bets, cash out on bets and even watch live games via Betway TV. 

Get the Betway mobile app on the Apple store by simply searching for Betway. For the Android version, you can download the apk file from the website and install it by following the instructions on the website.

Also, there is a Betway mobile bonus for new users on the app. You can access it by using the Betway sign up code: MAXFREE when signing up. You are now eligible to get 100% of your first deposit after you fulfil the terms and conditions of the sign-up bonus.

After checking other bookmaker apps for this Betway review, we concluded Betway offers one of the best mobile apps.

Betway Nigeria – Payment options – 5

The Betway payment options are quite extensive. For some of the deposit channels, you can complete the transaction online, while you have to complete it offline for others.

Betway offers about 9 deposit channels listed in the table below.

Betway withdrawal is straightforward. Betway pays out your winnings to the account that deposited the money in most cases. But if you use a deposit channel like Paystack or Flutterwave, Betway allows you to choose to be paid by Bank transfer, MyPaga, or Opay.

Out of the three options, only the bank transfer option can be completed online. The Opay and the MyPaga option have to be completed with the respective agents.

The Betway minimum withdrawal amount is N100, while the maximum withdrawal on Betway is N2,000,000 daily.

Maximum withdrawal time on Betway

For Opay and MyPaga withdrawals, the withdrawal time is immediate. But for the bank transfer option, the maximum withdrawal time is 2 working days. If the transfer doesn’t reflect after 2 working days, you can contact the customer care team.

Cash-Out Withdrawals

A feature on Betway that many punters enjoy is the cash-out option. Betway offers cash out on some matches. You just have to look ‘CO’ symbol next to the games. 

The cash out offer depends on your bet amount, the original odds, and the state of the game. But Betway cash-out offers are one of the best in the markets.

Betway doesn’t charge money on withdrawals, but the different channels can charge fees. Also, if your withdrawal attracts a tax, Betway will take out the tax from the winnings.

From our Betway review of the withdrawal and deposit channels, we give it a 5/5 rating.
