Betway Review

Betway is an established online brand within South Africa. It delivers a high-quality product consisting of pre-match and live betting, betgames and a rewards scheme. It’s also known for having one of the best sign up bonuses on the market, free competitions with huge cash prizes and an abundance of other promotions. Certainly, it all sounds very appealing. 

Betway is a European-owned online gambling operator that was first established in 2006. It came to South Africa in 2016, so it is already fairly well-known within the country. To highlight its desire to capture a larger market share on this continent, Betway Nigeria, Betway Uganda and Betway Kenya are two of its other country-specific online sportsbooks.

New customers can get a stellar R25 sign up bet when opening a new account. The attraction of this offer is that it only has a 1x wagering requirement, so it is very player-friendly. All you have to do is pass the FICA verification process. 

If you’ve ever visited betway.com (the site used in Europe), then you will know that the platform in South Africa is rather different. This software was developed by Raging River Trading and it holds a manufacturers with WCGRB allowing it to provide the software and bank-end services for Betway South Africa.

The website has been designed to work efficiently across all devices. It has expanding menus, which highlights a mobile first approach to development. This is very important in the South African market with its rapidly growing number of punters choosing to bet on the move. We found navigation effortless, and even new customers with no online betting experience, will enjoy the simplicity of this interface. A nice perk is that you can choose the ‘bet market type’ from the drop down menu so you can view a range of markets across the entire league simultaneously.
