CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE

Betway, like most top sportsbooks today, offers live chats as part of their customer service program. They also answer your queries by email, fax and phone while maintaining a steadily improving standard in terms of the replies you get.

The staff seems knowledgeable but aren’t extremely aware of their services and do take some time to reply confidently, especially in the case of live chats.

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.
