Conclusion
Betway are a decent sportsbook who are still young in the industry. They look like they have a long way to go but seem to be heading in the right direction. While their customer support section can do with a lot more work, they do need to make sure that there is enough incentive for people to join, apart from the bonus amount.
Their odds are average and nothing impressive to write about, however they do offer a lot of markets for customers and that makes them somewhat incredible, when it comes to comparison with their competition. Still a matter of time before the big sportsbooks can start taking notice of Betway however, things need to start improving pace.
