Betway 4 to Win

Betway's 4 to Win is the first of two free-to-play games that can be found on the Betway app. It's a horse racing prediction game where if you pick the winner of the four selected races, the jackpot is yours. If there are multiple people picking the same winning horses, the jackpot winner will be decided by a tie-breaker of combined winning lengths in all four races.

An ipad showing todays betway boosts 1

At the time of writing Betway had 18 enhanced odds specials to choose from, whereas Paddy Power's 'Power Up' promo had 12 (which were all for football only).

Price boosts are common across many betting apps, but regarding the strength of odds and a varied selection of markets, Betway Boosts is competitive with most other apps offering this promo.

BETWAY BETTING

Betway offers betting across 35 different sports and covers even more niche sports such as beach volleyball and surfing. As you may expect, the Betway app offers a good selection of betting across football and horse racing event, but it serves as a standout betting product for Cricket and esports fans, who may find their options limited elsewhere.

What to expect from Betway football betting

The Betway app offers a huge amount of pre-match betting to football fans, with a great selection of betting markets across over 100 leagues worldwide, including the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and many other international tournaments. The depth of markets is consistent with the size of the fixture, however, Betway do tend to have a stronger market selection across lower-tier leagues than the likes of Betfred and Grosvenor Sports

Your bet will then be added to the app for other users. This 'request-a-bet' feature is not unique in itself and is available with the likes of Ladbrokes, BetVictor, Bet365 and more, but is a nice feature for those looking for a particular market.

Alternatively, users have the option to back any of the in-game multiples from other customers that have already been priced up.

Betway In-Play Betting

Placing an in-play wager on the Betway app is quick and easy, as users have a specific section to navigate to at the top of their screen.

Football may have the largest amount of in-play markets within the Betway app, but users can easily switch between a huge selection of in-play markets happening right now, which include tennis, darts, cricket, Esports and more.

Someone on an ipad looking at Betways in play section

Betway has various in-play markets available across multiple sports.

Betway Esports

A huge standout within the Betway app is their ongoing commitment to Esports.

As the UK’s first Esports betting portal, Betway was able to develop a product that has gone from strength to strength and has fully cemented itself as a market leader within Esports betting.

With a variety of markets, enhanced odds, and live streaming capabilities, Betway shows the reason why they are the go to betting app for Esports fans.

Betway has markets from titles such as:

  • League of Legends
  • Dota 2
  • Call of Duty
  • Rainbow Six

Lots of the big esports matches are supported by live streaming on the Betway app, the quality of which is superb.

Given Betway’s continued focus on Esports, their offerings for CS:GO fans are to be somewhat expected. Betway offers special bets and frequent odds boosts to coincide with upcoming CS:GO tournaments.

The pre-match markets found on CS:GO matches include team A/B to win at least 1 map, team A/B total number of maps won and the map winner. There is also the ability to place pre-match bets on handicap markets.

    BETWAY CASINO

    Despite having two apps dedicated to casino betting, Betway offers a huge selection of casino gaming options that can be found by tapping the casino tab at the top of the Betway Sports app.


    A pixel phone showing the casino options in the Betway app

    Betway offer a great choice of casino games in the sports app, but we'd recommend the dedicated Betway Casino app if this is your thing.

    Between slots, table games and jackpots, there are 183 casino games available in the Betway sports app, which is not as many as its desktop counterpart, but still more than you may find with the likes of Betfred & BetUK.

    Popular slots in the Betway Casino:

    • 9 Masks of Fire
    • Assassin Moon
    • Immortal Romance

    Popular table games in the Betway Casino:

    • Vinnie Jones Roulette
    • High Streak Blackjack
    • Aces and Eights Poker

    It's great that you can access these games from the Betway Sports app, but for the real casino experience, I would advise downloading the dedicated app, which offers 1,000+ games to play and can be found in both the Google Play Store and iOS app store.

    Betway Live Casino

    Betway Live Casino offers users the chance to play table games such as Texas Hold'em Poker, Baccarat & Lightning Blackjack and features real-life dealers.

    You will also find multiple game shows including Monopoly Big Baller, Mega Wheel & Deal or No Deal - all of which are from Evolution gaming - which serve to further enhance the Betway Live Casino experience.

    Betway also has a specific live-casino app for iPhone and Android which can be found in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

    Betway Vegas

    The Betway Vegas section within the app can feel like somewhat of a rehash of what I had already seen and almost all of the games can already be found in either the Betway Casino or Betway Live Casino.

    BETWAY CASINO BONUS

    Betway has a casino welcome bonus available to all new customers. This offer is a 100% matched bonus up to £50 on your first deposit of £10+.

    FINAL VERDICT

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - 09/10

    Get £10 in Free Bets

    Betway provides a great betting experience with their app, which has the sportsbook feel to appease betting app veterans, but a simple interface which makes it easy on novices. Betway's selection of markets is in-depth, but may not be enough for football fans who want to dig into statistical markets and are used to the likes of Betfair, with its wide selection of combo bets. I'd recommend Betway based on their selection of promos alone, which give punters multiple ways to score some free bets.
