Betway launched in 2006 and has grown into one of the larger European books. The pitch here is breadth: more than 30,000 markets across upwards of 30 sports, with a live streaming service that is genuinely used rather than nominal.
BETWAY LIMITED appears on the Revenue Commissioners list of current licensed remote bookmaking operations as at 30 June 2026, the register maintained under Section 8B of the Betting Acts 1931 to 2015. We checked this on 31 October 2026.
That licence covers betting. It does not cover online casino gaming, so any casino attached to this brand is regulated elsewhere.
Sports and markets
Football worldwide, horse and greyhound racing with best odds guarantees, Gaelic games, rugby, tennis, cricket, boxing, golf, snooker and motorsport. Esports covers Call of Duty, Dota 2, League of Legends and Counter Strike. Novelty markets run to Eurovision and politics.
In play betting is the strong suit, with live markets on football, tennis and basketball among others.
The welcome offer, and the terms that matter
Advertised as a free bet of up to €50. The published terms are more specific than most, which is to Betway credit:
- Qualifying bet of at least €10 at minimum odds of 1.50
- Free bets valid for 7 days
- Bonus spins carry a 50x wagering requirement
The 50x on bonus spins is the part to notice. The free bet itself is straightforward, but any spins attached are effectively promotional rather than cash.
Payments and withdrawal times
| Method | Stated withdrawal time |
|---|---|
| PayPal | 1 business day |

| Neteller | 1 business day |
| Apple Pay | 1 to 2 business days |

One business day on e-wallets is among the fastest published figures here. We have not timed a withdrawal ourselves.
Key features

Where this review stands
