Betway Review

Betway comes with a prestigious background and a reputation as one of the best betting apps in the world. While many Canadian bettors may be familiar with the brand, it's the recent acquisition of a betting license in Ontario that firmly sets Betway on the path to being one of the top betting apps in Canada.

Aside from their reputation, there are quite a few areas Betway excels at as a sports betting app, but these features are some to really get excited about:

Betway App

The Betway app is certainly a selling point of the product, with many features you'd expect from a top-tier betting site. While it may not have the flashy look of some other well-known brands, it is incredibly clear, easy to navigate, and straight to the point - which we think is great! Oh, and there is also an integrated casino which makes for even more ways to enjoy Betway.

Betway eSports

eSports have blown up in popularity and have really taken Canada by storm. Betway understands this and has really prioritised betting on gaming events more than other betting apps. If you want to wager and follow a ton of different games all with deep leagues, Betway has you covered.

Betway Markets

It may seem obvious that having deep betting markets makes for a better experience, but Betway really shines in this area. Not only are there a ton of different sports to wager on, but each option also has numerous leagues from around the world, so you'll always be able to find something to bet on, and can enjoy wagering on leagues and players you may never have heard of.

Available for both iOS and Android, the Betway app is something we certainly recommend downloading if you want an easy-to-use platform on the go. The custom-built apps for both Android and Apple devices allow for improved functionality, speed, and even quick logins.

One of the most obvious things about the Betway app when you open it up is the look and the lack of an exciting UX. While it has a little more pizazz than a betting app like bet365, which has been stripped down to the basics, Betway suffers from floating in that in-between area with design.

The navigation and layout are incredibly intuitive, but there are certain sections that feel like they've been pulled from a spreadsheet rather than designed as a button. While we can't knock the overall usability of the app, minor tweaks like this would help highlight just how good Betway is.

Betway iOS

Betway is one of the top sports betting apps on the App Store in Canada, boasting a respectable 4.7/5 stars.

Betway Android

A bit lower than the App Store rank, the Android version of the Betway app is a solid 4.3/5 stars, which is great since many downloads still come directly from the Betway site through an APK.

For a long time, betting apps were not allowed on the Google Play Store, and although this has now changed and you can find betting apps listed there, Betway still offers an APK download directly from their website.

You can find the betting app on the Play Store, but if you prefer a direct download, here is how it works:

The most important part of any betting app is the actual sports betting. With years of experience in delivering a high-quality and feature-packed sportsbook, Betway does not disappoint when looking at betting features and betting markets.

Having the chance to capitalise on momentum swings and base your wagers on real-time action is an awesome feature from Betway. Their in-play (or live betting) features a ton of different sports that you don't always see on other betting apps, and they have excellent graphics to go alongside it to keep you informed immediately.

Making a parlay on Betway is one of the most enjoyable ways to bet since there is just so much creativity involved in combining multiple outcomes into a single, massive wager. While there is a heightened risk in a parlay since all 'legs' need to be correct to win, there is also a big jump in the potential payout.

An enticing offer, but how does it work?

How to parlay on Betway

Betway has a few ways you can parlay bet - the traditional multi-game parlay option, as well as the newer Same Game Parlay.

• Building a multi-game parlay is easy, just select the outcomes on a few different games, and the option to wager as a parlay will automatically show up in your betslip!

• A Same Game Parlay is a little different but just as easy. Betway features a Bet-Builder tool for sports that are eligible for same game parlays. When you select an eligible event, a tab at the top of the betting markets will be labeled 'bet-builder' and will show all the potential choices for combining a great same game parlay.

There is no doubt Betway is a market leader in Canada for eSports, as they offer a HUGE selection of the major eSports in its dedicated section of the betting app, along with live streaming capabilities!

Betway has even sponsored several notable eSports teams

Unlike some betting apps that only let you wager on win/lose, Betway has incorporated tons of different markets depending on what eSport you want to bet on. If you want to wager on League of Legends, for example, you can bet on Match Winner, Maps Played, Handicaps, Correct Score, and even which heroes will be picked!

We are happy to report that Betway has updated their sports tab to reflect the difference between 'soccer' and 'football.' And they have also beefed up their football markets as well, with NFL, CFL, and NCAAF all featuring tons of different markets from live to future bets!

There are a ton of different ways to wager on football, including the standard money line and point spread, but Betway also showcases a number of futures bets, player props, and even unusual wagers like:

• Race to 10 points
• Player to score 3+ TDs
• Total kicking points
• Total rush attempts
• First offensive play
• Team to call first timeout
• Longest touchdown
• Total sacks

This is the kind of depth we love about Betway, and the only glaring absence from the football section of the betting app is a Same Game Parlay option.

Betway Soccer

While we mentioned the difference in how you can navigate to soccer or football, we also want to mention that Betway has a phenomenal selection for soccer wagering. This is expected from the global betting app which highlights the insanely popular sport, especially considering they sponsor West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur.

You can even use the Bet-Builder tool to create a same game parlay on soccer matches!

Unfortunately, due to Canadian regulations, we're not allowed to display any bonus offered by Betway. That being said, betting apps in Canada do offer a number of different kinds of betting bonuses and promos.

You'll commonly find Free Bets, Deposit Bonuses, Parlay Insurance, and more on Canadian betting apps like Betway. We also think that Betway is a great app aside from any bonuses, as it is packed full of great betting features, hosts tons of leagues and markets, and makes it very easy to manage your money.

It's not as common as you would think to get a sports betting app that also showcases a world-class casino app, but this is exactly what Betway offers.

Splits between three different sections, each focusing on its own aspect of a casino, you can enjoy a solid game variety from the Casino, Live Casino, and Vegas pages of the Betway app.

Betway's payment options are actually quite good, with there being many convenient ways to move funds in and out of your account.

• Interac
• PaySafeCard
• Instadebit
• iDebit
• Debit Card
• Visa/Master Cards
• Electronic Check
• Ecopayz

Sadly there is no option for direct bank transfers or crypto payments yet.

Most deposits are instant, though it can sometimes take a few minutes to register depending on your method.

There are no deposit fees, and the minimum deposit is $10, with no maximum!

Withdrawal times depend on your method.

• WebWallets take between a couple of hours to one day, though often are much quicker.
• Card or bank withdrawals range from 2-3 business days.

Betway has a minimum withdrawal of $10, but the betting app charges no additional fees.

Customer service and support on Betway is standard, which isn't to say it's bad. You can find answers to most of the common questions in a reasonably robust FAQ page, but getting additional support beyond this is where Betway could make a few slight changes.

There is a choice to launch a live chat, but you do need to go through the FAQ page and select 'yes' after reading if you need more help. Overall the live chat is quick and the staff are helpful at solving problems, it would just be nicer to have a choice to head directly to this chat.

Additionally, the option for a phone line would be great, as sometimes being able to communicate directly can be helpful.

• FAQ answers most standard questions
• Live Chat is quick and helpful when you get to it
• No Phone Line is a letdown
