Betway’s App Store listing (checked 20 October 2026) shows this new customer offer: bet £10, get £40 in free bet tokens. Significant terms as published: “New UK & Ireland customers only. Place a min £10 bet at min odds of 2.0. £40 worth of Free Bet Tokens awarded on bet settlement. 4 x £10 each with betting restrictions. 7 day expiry. Debit Card deposits only (exclusions apply). Min deposit: £/€10. 1x wagering at odds of 1.75+ to unlock Free Bet.”
The final line is unusual: it suggests a wagering step before the free bets unlock. We couldn’t open the full terms to confirm what it means, so check on Betway’s site. The free bets are split into four £10 tokens with “betting restrictions” and expire after 7 days. Our wagering requirements explained guide covers how wagering terms work. For how stake-not-returned tokens are valued, see how free bets work; for play-through conditions, see wagering requirements explained. Compare other current deals on our free bets page.
Offers for existing customers
Betway’s app listing describes Free Bet Club: opt in and spend £25 or more on sports to get 2 × £5 free bets, up to £10 a week. It also mentions Betway Boosts (enhanced odds on selected markets). We didn’t verify the full terms. See our acca insurance guide for other common promotions.
Is Betway legit? Licence and safety checks
On 20 October 2026 the register showed Betway Limited (account 39372) with an active remote betting licence and betway.com (including sports.betway.com) as active domains. You can check this yourself: scroll to the footer of the Betway site, note the company name and account number, and search it on the Gambling Commission public register. Check that the licence status is “Active”, that it covers remote betting, and that the exact domain you’re using is listed. A licence means the operator must verify your age and identity, hold customer funds under disclosed protection rules, offer safer gambling tools and use an approved dispute resolution service. It doesn’t mean any bet is safe from loss, and it doesn’t guarantee good service.
Before you sign up with Betway
- Decide your budget first, and set a deposit limit when the site prompts you – before your first deposit.
- Read the significant terms beside the welcome offer: qualifying stake and odds, payment exclusions, expiry and any restrictions on how the free bets can be used.
- Check that your preferred payment method is accepted and qualifies for the offer.
- Have ID ready. Licensed operators must verify you before you can gamble, and may ask for more documents before a withdrawal.
- Only place the qualifying bet if it’s a bet you would be happy to make anyway. If the offer doesn’t suit how you bet, you don’t have to take it.
Sports and markets
The app listing says Betway covers more than 30 sports, including football, horse racing, tennis, cricket, basketball and Formula 1 (Betway describes itself as the Official Betting Partner of Formula 1), with in-play betting.
Odds and features
Per the listing: daily live streams (including football, tennis, basketball, NFL and NBA), Bet Builder on single events (pre-match and live), cash out, and Betway Boosts. Our bet builder guide explains how combined bets are priced.
The Betway app
Betway’s iOS app had 46,848 ratings averaging 4.7 when checked. It is published by Digital Outsource International Ltd rather than the licensee Betway Limited. We didn’t test it.
Payments and Betway withdrawal times
Only debit card deposits qualify for the welcome offer and the minimum deposit is £10, according to the offer terms. We couldn’t verify Betway’s full list of payment methods or its withdrawal times on an official page, so check the cashier. If you want PayPal, see our PayPal betting sites page.
Safer gambling tools at Betway
We did not verify Betway’s safer gambling tools on an official page.
