The Betway Group (commonly referred to Betway and stylized as betWay) is a global online gambling company with a number of brands including Betway Sportsbook, Betway Casino, Betway Vegas, Betway Bingo and Betway Poker.
Overview[edit]
The flagship brand, 'Betway', is an international gambling company that operates across regulated online marketplaces and holds licences in the UK, Malta, Italy, Denmark, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Mexico, South Africa and Ireland.

The Betway Group has a partnership with the Professional Players Federation,[8] which promotes, protects and develops the collective interests of professional sportspeople in the UK.[9] Betway is also a supporter of the Responsible Gambling Trust.[10][11]
Regulatory incidents[edit]
A BBC investigation into gambling addiction linked to sports advertising and found that in one case, Betway had encouraged a gambling addict to continue gambling by offering bonuses and free bets, even after direct communication from the addict highlighting their problem.[12] This was described as standard behaviour for all large betting companies.
In March 2020 Betway was fined a record £11.6m for failing customer protection and money laundering checks, allowing one customer to deposit over £8m and lose over £4m in a four-year period.[13]
