How do we evaluate bookmakers?
At Aposta Legal Brasil, our team of experts conducts thorough evaluations of betting sites, focusing on three fundamental pillars: the reputation of the houses, the quality of the offers available and the usability of the sites.
We are committed to transparency and objectivity in our reviews. To achieve this goal, we apply rigorous criteria to each review, aiming to provide up-to-date and clear information that can guide our readers in a reliable manner.
In summary
Betway is one of the main betting sites in Brazil with a high international reputation. Furthermore, the house allows its bettors to make full or partial cash out on most events and markets. Finally, there are free bet bonuses for sports and eSports bettors every week.
Is Betway Reliable?
Yes, Betway is trustworthy!
The betting site was launched in 2006, and today has more than 10 years of experience in the market. Despite being an important milestone, this alone does not guarantee integrity, right?
Therefore, in our analysis we investigated the house’s licenses, its reputation among bettors, and investments in technology and security.
Considering these factors, which we explain below, we conclude that the betting site is safe and reliable!
Brand License and Reputation
In legal terms, the company had licenses in 9 countries, including Mozambique , but today it remains registered in 2: Malta and the United Kingdom.
In Malta, the house is registered under license MGA/B2C/130/2006 from the Malta Gaming Authority. The organization observes factors such as provider, software and financial security.
In England, Betway is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, registration number 039372-R-319367-023.
This committee is known for being one of the most rigorous in the world. It oversees operators operating in the country to ensure that transactions and bets are fair and efficient.
In addition to being licensed in countries with strict regulations, Betway is also associated with IBIA, the International Betting Integrity Association.
The brand’s credibility is also enhanced by the fact that Betway is West Ham’s main sponsor and Brighton Camp’s betting partner; Hove Albion, recognized Premier League teams in England.
And in eSports, the house is the main sponsor of Ninjas in Pajamas, the famous Swedish Counter-Strike team.
Website Technology
To find out more about the integrity of the betting site, we use the Trustworthy Site platform, which checks the security of any domain on the internet. The result was the following:
As indicated in the image, the Betway website has the SSL/TLS standard to encrypt user data.
This does not mean that the company will never be a target for hackers, but it shows that it takes at least the main security measures for the website.
Furthermore, the bookmaker is certified by eCogra, an international institution that ensures basic security and honesty parameters for bettors.
It is worth remembering that, to carry out deposit and withdrawal transactions on your Betway account, you must prove your identity by sending photos of official documents.
And both the bookmaker and we at Aposta Legal recommend that all users create strong passwords for their accounts, in order to further strengthen security on the site.
Betway No Raclame Aqui
When writing our review, to validate Betway’s reputation, we checked its page on Reclame Aqui, the main complaints website in Brazil.
The betting site is rated as “Bad” on the complaints platform, with complaints about delays in deposits or withdrawals.
Despite the unsatisfactory evaluation, Betway has a solution rate of 76%. This is a high number compared to other bookmakers, such as Stake and even Bet365, which do not respond to their users on the platform.
We would like to emphasize, however, that even with this evaluation on Reclame Aqui, Betway continues to be considered a reliable bookmaker due to factors that we explored in our analysis, such as:
- License
- Security policy
- Responsible Gaming
- Payment methods
- Official Support Channels
Responsible Gaming
Betway is associated with BeGambleAware, a non-profit organization aiming to prevent gaming addiction.
Therefore, the bookmaker offers Responsible Gaming tools that allow users to exercise more control over their bets.
To access the page, simply access the Betway website, scroll down to the bottom and, in the footer of the site, click on Responsible Gaming. It is also available in the profile menu.
On this page you can:
- Set deposit limits
- Pause your account for pre-determined periods (permanent self-exclusion)
- Pause the account indefinitely (Indefinite self-exclusion)
- Enable reminders with session limit
- Delete the account
When opting for Indefinite Self-Exclusion, the account can only be reopened after the 7-day cooling off period.
These are valuable tools for setting betting limits with Betway, with confidence and security.
How Does Betway Work?
BetWay has a website with a modern design, using basic colors such as black and white, with green being the highlight color for promotions and buttons.
This allows you to quickly find the highlights of the site.
The menus are also well organized. On the home page, on the left, you can see the day’s most important events.
In the top menu, you will find the most important sections of the site, such as the promotions tab, live games and also the cash out feature.
When you scroll down the page a little, right in the center, you will see the highlight with the special odds of the day.
However, there are also areas for improvement on the website: navigation on the customer service page is a bit confusing. We will go into more detail about this in the Customer Support section of this review.
How to Register with Betway?
Registering with Betway is very simple! Here’s how to register on the site:
- On the betting site, click “Register” in the top right corner
- Fill in the requested personal data
- Create your username and a strong password
- Provide contact details
- Set Responsible Gaming limits (you can edit later)
- Choose your welcome offer
- Click “Register” at the end of the form
Now, just make your first deposit to enjoy the site!
An interesting point is that before completing the registration, you can already define the deposit limits for your bets.
This contributes to Betway’s responsibility policies, which we have already mentioned, in addition to helping the bettor to have more efficient bankroll management.
Betway Sports Betting
Betway Betting offers dozens of sports for its customers to bet on.
On the website, you can bet on the most popular sports in Brazil, such as Football and Basketball, and even lesser-known sports, such as Water Polo and Rugby.
Find out more about Betway’s main sports:
Soccer
Football betting is the focus of Betway Brasil. This is common in houses that operate in the country, after all, sport is the national passion.
And to follow Football on the Betway website, simply click on the sport in the top menu or on the left of the website and browse the highlights.
While we were doing our analysis, regional tournaments, such as Paulista, Carioca and Cearense, were highlighted on the website, which also covers the Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil.
European championships such as the Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga also have space on the site. As well as continental tournaments, such as Libertadores da América and the Champions League.
Basketball
Although it is not the most popular sport at Betway, it is possible to bet on the NBA and other Basketball games at the site.
To find games for this sport on the website, navigate through the menu on the left and select Basketball from the “All Sports” list.
The bookmaker has the main Basketball leagues in its betting catalog: NBA, NBL, NCAAB, Euroleague and even Asian competitions.
Tennis
Tennis is a sport that receives a lot of attention at Betway, which offers the main Slams.
If you want to bet on Tennis games on the website, navigate to the “All sports” menu on the left and click on the sport.
In the center of the page, you will find the highlighted games, the matches that are happening live and you can filter by competition.
At Betway Bets, you will find matches from the men’s (ATP) and women’s (WTA) circuit, singles and doubles, as well as ITF matches and the main Opens.
Betway eSports
Betway is known internationally for its focus on eSports betting.
On the Betway website, you will find a special eSports page, which can be accessed via the top menu or via “All Sports” on the left. Simply click on “E-sports”, as in the image below:
Despite being the most talked about, CS and CS:GO are not the only games available to bettors.
There are more than a dozen competitions to bet on in CS alone!
You can also bet on other main modalities of this genre, such as:
- League of Legends
- Dota 2
- Valorant
- Rainbow Six
- Rocket League
- Honor of Kings
- War Craft III
So, if you want to bet on eSports, we highly recommend Betway!
The bookmaker has a YouTube channel dedicated to the topic with 65 million views and more than 213 thousand subscribers. The content ranges from CS:GO gameplay to tutorials.
Betway eSports’ most-watched video, with over 1.5 million views, can be seen below:
Betting Tools
Betway Brasil does not lag behind its competitors when we talk about betting tools.
The platform has full and partial cash out options for most events, and also has Live Streaming and quality Statistics.
Check out what we think of each of the tools:
Cash Out
Cash out is one of the best features offered by Betway.
You can choose between Total Cash Out and Partial Cash Out!
Not all live bets have this functionality. But we already said that cash out is available at most events and markets.
Before even placing a bet, you can check whether the desired market has the functionality, indicated by a green button, as shown below:
If you have already bet and want to confirm whether cash out is still allowed, simply go to the “My Bets” section in the right corner of the top menu.
If the “Cash Out” button appears in green on the desired bet, the feature is available. Click to check the valid amount for withdrawal, which can be total or partial.
Live Streaming
As for the possibility of watching live games on the website itself, we have good news!
Betway Live Streaming is available in different modalities, both conventional sports and eSports.
Despite being limited to certain events, Betway’s live streaming quality is quite high!
We watch the bookmaker’s live streams on the computer and on the cell phone, and in both cases the games load easily and the image is clear.
See the example of the broadcast of a tennis match made by the house:
To identify a match that is being broadcast live, simply see if there is a TV icon with a Play (▶️) next to the event.
However, you won’t always be able to use cash out in conjunction with a streaming session.
Statistics
With or without live streaming, Betway offers statistics for virtually all events available on the platform.
The tool allows you to access and analyze information about the teams or athletes facing each other, as well as monitor the match timeline, points scored, fouls committed, among other information.
So even if you’re not watching the game live, you can still follow what’s happening in-game.
You stay up to date with all the data to bet more safely.
Betting Markets
Betway is one of the main betting houses when we talk about eSports and has also been standing out in other sports.
However, the betting markets at Betway are not very varied. And even in some Football games, we found little on offer.
Compared to other houses, you may be disappointed.
See in detail what we think about Betway’s main markets:
Handicap
In Handicap, you bet on one team’s points or goals advantage over the other at the start of the match.
See an example of the Football Handicap market available at Betway for the São Paulo x Água Santa game in the Paulistão:
As you can see in the image, the house calls the market “Handicap 3 possibilities”, which is also known as “European”.
Generally speaking, there are two types of Handicap: European and Asian. However, at Betway, we only find the European Handicap in Football events.
For Aposta Legal, this is a negative point, since the Asian Handicap market is one of the main ones in Football today, available on the main betting sites, but not on Betway.
Double Chance
Also known as Double Chance, in this market you can bet on two different results in the same event.
We explain it better with an example:
For the Girona vs Atlético de Madrid match in Spain’s La Liga, you can bet on Double Chance in the following scenarios:
- Girona win or draw – Odds 1.77
- Girona or Atlético Madrid to win – Odds of 1.33
- Draw or win for Atlético de Madrid – Odds of 1.28
This way, if you bet on the first option (Girona or Draw) and one of these results happens, you won the bet! The same goes for the other options.
Chande Dupla is a good market for beginners, who don’t want to risk too much when betting.
Draw Cancels Bet
At Betway, this market is known as “Tie Refund”.
In this type of bet, the bookmaker refunds bets when the game ends 0 x 0.
The market is only available before the game starts, and you need to bet on the Half Time – Full Time or Correct Score markets as well.
Betway Odds
Betway is known for being among the houses with the best odds in Football, but is that really true?
And how do the site’s odds work in other modalities?
Below you can check our complete analysis of Betway odds on Football, Tennis, CS:GO and we also talk about the house’s Special Odds!
Football Odds – Does Betway have the best conditions?
Before we see if Betway has the best odds on the Football market, let’s compare it with other important houses: Bet365 Brasil and Betano Apostas!
Our comparison between the sites was made on the 1×2 market, also known as Win/Draw/Win, for some Spanish League games. Check out:
Girona vs Atletico Madrid | 3.80 – 3.50 – 2.00 | 3.80 – 3.40 – 2.00 | 3.90 – 3.55 – 2.10 |
---|---|---|---|
Real Valladolid vs Athletic Bilbao | 3.50 – 3.30 – 2.00 | 3.50 – 3.40 – 2.05 | 3.60 – 3.35 – 2.07 |
Almería x Cadiz | 2.05 – 3.25 – 3.40 | 2.05 – 3.40 – 3.50 | 2.10 – 3.40 – 3.60 |
As we can see in the table above, overall, Betano is the bookmaker with the best odds in our comparison. It has better offers for betting on the home team, draw, or away team.
Unfortunately, Betway did not have the best odds on any of the events compared.
However, it is important to highlight that the odds follow the market average.
Tennis Odds
One of the main sports at Betway is tennis. Does the bookmaker offer the best odds for this sport?
To find out, let’s compare your odds with those of two other big sites, Betano and Stake.com.
The game analyzed was Emma Raducanu vs. Beatriz Haddad Maia for Indian Wells, in the Match Winner market.
During our analysis, Betway offered odds of 2.00 for Emma Raducanu to win, and 1.80 for Beatriz Haddad Maia to win.
Betano offered lower odds on Raducanu’s victory, just 1.93. However, the odds for the Brazilian tennis player to win were better than Betway’s: 1.88.
Stake Brasil also showed better odds for Beatriz to win: 1.90.
Betway thus shows itself in this scenario as the best site to bet on the “home” player, but not to bet on the “visitor” player.
And once again, the platform has odds within the market, but was surpassed by competitors in some cases.
Odds on eSports
As we have pointed out several times during our analysis, one of Betway’s highlights is its focus on eSports.
And is this also true with the odds?
We examined the odds of CS:GO matches on the Winning market in two other houses, Bet365 and Stake, to make a comparison.
Check out the result:
ESEA: Boston Crab x Coalesce | 2.75 – 1.40 | 2.62 – 1.44 | 2.55 – 1.47 |
---|---|---|---|
CCT West Europe: LDLC x Young Ninjas | 2.30 – 1.55 | 2.25 – 1.57 | 2.20 – 1.60 |
In both matches analyzed, Betway appears with the best odds to bet on the “home team”.
Meanwhile, Stake, followed by Bet365, have the best odds for betting on the “away team”.
Promotional Odds
Betway frequently offers its Special Odds, as the house’s promotional offers are called.
They can occur in specific sports or even combining results from different modalities.
BetWay has promotional odds on important championships, such as the NBA in Basketball, La Liga and even Paulistão in Football!
In general, Betway Special Odds are for simple bets.
And for some bettors, promotions can make some odds more competitive compared to the competition.
Betway Casino
Do you like to bet on online casinos? Then Betway could be a good option for you!
The site offers a Welcome Bonus for casino players, which features games from the best providers in the segment, as well as live options.
Stay up to date with our impressions about the Online Casino and how to take advantage of the Bonus!
Casino Welcome Bonus
The Betway Casino Welcome Bonus is within the Brazilian market average.
You can earn 100% of your first 3 deposits up to R$4,000. The Bonus is divided into 3 parts and works like this:
- 100% up to R$1,000 on the amount of the first deposit
- 25% up to R$1,000 on the amount of the second deposit
- 75% up to R$1,000 on the third deposit amount
To be eligible for the Bonus you need to make a minimum deposit of R$50 via Pix and the offer is valid for 7 days after registering your account.
The only negative point is that the rollover is 50x the bonus amount granted. Other casinos, such as Betano and Bet365, have a rollover of just 20x.
Still on how rollover works, we have an example from Betway itself: if you have a bonus of R$80, you need to bet 50 times that amount (50 x R$80) to be able to withdraw your balance, which will be R$4,000.
Game Types
Checking the games available at Betway Casino is very simple! Just click on “Casino” in the top menu of the site:
You will find several types of games on the site, the main ones being:
- Slot Machines
- Bingo
- Roulette
- Blackjack
- Poker
And the quality of the games is excellent! The only disadvantage we found concerns quantity.
We only found around 500 games available, but other casinos, such as LeoVegas, for example, offer over 1,000 options.
But that doesn’t take away from the brilliance of Betway’s casino. The bookmaker has partnerships with leading game providers in the iGaming sector, such as Microgaming, Evolution, NetEnt and Pragmatic Play.
Roulette
At Betway, you can find different online Roulette games, both American and European, and with different themes.
We tested some games and there are options with translation into Portuguese, which is attractive for bettors who do not speak English.
Furthermore, the screens loaded quickly, with high-quality images, which created a very positive impression.
Slot Machine
There are 450 online slot games for you to enjoy at the Betway casino.
When testing, we found a wide variety of themes, such as the famous Starburst and Arena of Gold. And also more specific themes, such as Narcos and Game of Thrones are also available.
The graphics are high definition, which is essential for a good experience.
And we recommend that you keep an eye out for jackpots on slot machines! Because Betway has a section called “Jackpots of the Day” with the games that will give you the most prizes.
The only thing we missed was the demo version to test before betting. When selecting the slot machine of your choice, you must already have a balance available.
Poker
The most famous table game among Brazilians is also available at Betway!
You can find Poker games in the “Table Games” and “Video Poker” sections on the website.
In total, there are 10 game options for you to choose from and the formats vary between Eights and Aces and Texas Hold’em.
When testing, we missed a trial version. Because, to play, you already need to have a balance to bet.
Furthermore, the graphics are great and the games load quickly.
Live Casino
For those who don’t want to give up feeling the same energy as a physical casino, Betway offers a live casino.
In this space, you have the option to interact with dealers in real time while placing your bets.
A very positive point is that the house has a Brazilian Roulette room, exclusively with Brazilian presenters and broadcast in Portuguese.
However, this is the only room broadcasting in Portuguese. In other games, English is spoken.
The most popular games that are available live are:
- Roulette
- Blackjack
- Baccarat
- Poker
The streaming of the live casino games is excellent, and we didn’t experience any crashes on either desktop or mobile.
Betway App
The bookmaker offers the Betway app for Android in Brazil .
Customers with Android cell phones can access the app, but it is not possible to download it from Google Play.
To download it, you need to access the Betway website on your Android phone and click on “Download Betting App”.
The app is safe and reliable and original from Betway. So you can rest assured and confirm when asked about installing from an unknown source.
There is even a version of the app for iPhone (iOS), but it is not available for download in Brazil.
But so that anyone can access the site on mobile devices, the house has optimized its mobile version to work correctly on cell phones.
Both versions have the same design and layout. On mobile, navigation is fast and responsive.
The very black background and the large amount of information on the screen, however, can confuse some users.
Payment methods
Betway has Pix as its main payment method in Brazil.
And in addition to this option, you can also deposit or withdraw via bank transfer and electronic wallets, such as:
- Astropay
- Pay4Fun
- Skrill
- Neteller
To deposit, the minimum amount is R$10, and processing is usually immediate, but can take up to 1 business day, regardless of the method chosen.
However, for withdrawals, there is a minimum of R$40, and the process can take up to 5 days. This applies to any withdrawal method chosen.
How to Deposit at Betway?
Depositing at Betway is very simple and you can do it via desktop or mobile.
On the computer, you must:
- Log in to your account
- Click on “Bank”
- Select “Deposit”
- Choose the desired payment method
- Enter the amount you want to deposit (minimum R$10) and follow the steps that appear on the screen.
On your cell phone, in the app or mobile version, log in and, in the bottom menu, click on “Deposit”.
Then, simply choose the method you prefer, enter the amount and follow the steps indicated on the screen.
How to Cash Out at Betway?
If you already have more than R$40 in your Betway wallet and want to withdraw it, follow the steps:
- Log in to your Betway account
- Click on “Bank”
- Select the “Withdrawal” tab
- Choose the amount to be withdrawn and the withdrawal method
- Follow the instructions and confirm the withdrawal
Your withdrawal request is processed within 24 hours. Once started, processing cannot be reversed.
And once processing is complete, it can take up to 5 business days for the money to reach your account.
Customer support
Our experience with Betway customer service was not the most positive, as it is a confusing process.
If you need assistance from the website, you must initially click on the “Live Chat” link in the website footer.
But, unlike expected, you are not redirected to the Betway chat, but to the contents of the in-house Help Center.
The good news is that the articles and videos are very complete, separated into categories for better organization, and can help you with simpler questions.
But, if you still need help, you should answer “Yes” to the question “Do you need more help?”, and then to “Click here to contact us”.
Only then can you access Betway’s live chat.
In our tests, the service was provided in Portuguese, but it took a while to start.
As a last resort, you can fill out a form to contact the bookmaker, following the same path. Or get in touch via social media.
Is Betway Worth It?
After carrying out a detailed analysis, we concluded that yes, it is worth betting on Betway!
The house is safe and reliable, with one of the most complete betting sites on the market.
As for the odds, Betway has an average within the market, and its Special Odds can be quite attractive.
The site stands out for the variety of sports offered, especially with a focus on Football and eSports.
But the limited range of markets was a negative point in our review, as was customer service, which could also be improved.
The Welcome Bonus and Free Bets are worth highlighting, as they are flexible Bonuses. In addition, the usage requirements are not so strict.
And Betway’s main positive point for our team is cash out. Mainly because it is divided into Partial and Total. This gives the bettor more freedom!
