Betway Casino

Like any other casino operator, Betway Canada has some areas where it excels, as well as others that might as well need improvements here and there. Here’s what we found after checking out Betway’s Casino sites for Canada:

Betway’s web platform has a clear-cut design and easy-to-navigate user interface. There are separate tabs for Casino and Live Casino ensuring quick access to either selection. Note! Betway Canada also has a dedicated Vegas tab storing a selection of slot games whose design will make you feel as if you were in a real casino in Nevada. The Vegas tab is currently NOT available on Betway Ontario and we don’t know if and when it will show up there.

The Casino games in Betway Canada are arranged by the following categories:

• Top Games – featuring the most popular games on the platform such as Blazing Lake, Queens of Ra, Amazing Link Meduza, Noble 7’s, Action Boost Gladiator, etc.
• New Games – featuring the most recently added titles to Betway Canada’s casino library, as well as some Betway-exclusive games.
• Table Games – hosting dozens of both online and a few live roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and poker games; the go-to place for traditionalists.
• Slots – gathering 3- and 5-reel slots under one roof – Starburst, Cleopatra, Da Vinci Diamonds, Immortal Romance, Gonzo’s Quest, etc.
• Must Win Jackpots – 9 Pots of Gold, Thunderstruck Stormchaser, Trojan Kingdom, 9 Masks of Fire, Pile ‘Em Up, etc.
• Jackpots – Blazing Bison, Roulette Mega Moolah, Starlite Fruits, African Legends, and so on.
• Betway Exclusives – Hermes Bonanza, 3 Lucky Rainbows Action Boost, Spin and Win, One Shot, Soccer Striker, etc.
• Real Dealer – featuring select live casino offerings such as Vinnie Jones Roulette, Real Baccarat with Courtney, Fortune Finder with Sarati, Real Blackjack with James, etc.
• Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarat tabs – showcasing Betway’s most popular picks corresponding to each category, such as European / Atlantic City Blackjack, American European / French Roulette, etc.

Although most casino lovers are mainly interested in traditional table games, that doesn’t mean slots have gone out of fashion. At Betway Canada and Betway Ontario, slot machines are enjoying unwavering popularity that’s unlikely to decline any time soon.

In 2015, Betway made it to the Guiness book of records after UK resident Jon Heywood hit the Mega Mollah jackpot of €17,879,645 ($20,062,600, £13,209,300), which would turn out to be the largest jackpot payout in the history of online slot gaming at the time.

The casino is chock full of 3- and 5-reel slots, as well as special-themed slots featuring state-of-the-art graphics and alluring overall design. Here’s a list of the most frequently played slots on Betway Canada:

Betway Slots have a 95.05% payout percentage rate, fairly in line with the industry standards. Occasionally, you get free spins on all Betway slots – classic, video, jackpot, progressive, and mobile.

Granted, you’d have to place a deposit beforehand, as there are no free play options currently. Modern video slots typically offer more paylines than their classic counterparts, which may be a turning point when developing your gambling strategy.

You must register an account if you want to use Betway’s services in Ontario or the rest of Canada. You don’t need to register a new account if you’ve already set up one for the Betway Sportsbook.

Setting up a Betway account is easy and intuitive if you follow the steps outlined below.

• STEP: 1

  Open Betway Canada or Betway Ontario, depending on your geographic location

• STEP: 2

  Click on the “Sign Up” button in the top right corner of your screen. Doing so will take you to the Betway Registration Page

• STEP: 3

  Betway Canada only: Select the welcome bonus you’d like to use. You can pick ONE out of 5 (five) options in total

• STEP: 4

  Fill out your personal (name, date of birth), account (login credentials, email address), and contact details (street address, phone number)

• STEP: 5

  Set up daily, weekly, and monthly limits

• STEP: 6

  Betway Ontario only: Select the welcome bonus you’d like to use. You can pick ONE out of 3 (three) options in total

• STEP: 7

  Submit the documents to prove your age, identity, and residence. Such documents many be: A valid ID or passport; A recent utility bill; A recent CC statement

As you can see, the registration process on Betway Canada is slightly different from the one on Betway Ontario, inasmuch as:

• the former has placed the welcome bonus on top, while the latter – at the end of the registration process, and
• there are more welcome bonus options on Betway Canada due to the lack of a Vegas section on Betway Ontario.

Betway Canada and Betway Ontario offer welcome bonuses, flexi bonuses and bet tokens to enhance your gambling experience. Here’s a quick overview of each bonus type:

Welcome Bonus
You can get a 100% match bonus of up to C$250 for each of your first three online casino deposits. The same bonus is also available for Live Casino games if you prefer to play with a live dealer at hand. Finally, Vegas maniacs outside of Ontario are eligible for Bonus Spins worth up to C$200 after placing a deposit.

The Betway Flexy Bonus System

Besides the welcome bonus, you can expect an array of subsequent promotional offers – free & bonus spins, free casino credits, etc. The Betway Flexi Bonus system shows you what percentage of your wager is drawn from your cash balance and how much is taken from your bonus balance. Potential winnings are then distributed between your cash and bonus balances in the same ratio. While you can withdraw your cash balance, you cannot do the same with your bonus balance until you have fulfilled the wagering requirements applicable to it.

The Wagering Requirements

The casino and live casino wagering requirements are considerably greater compared to those related to the Betway sportsbook. You need to wager your bonus balance a total of 50 times before cashing out whatever winnings you may realize in the meantime. Subsequent bonus funds, on the other hand, require a 30x playthrough if you have accepted a deposit-bound bonus, and a 100 playthrough if you have taken a deposit-free bonus.

Betway’s Live Casino section consists of 130+ (in Ontario) and 150+ (rest of Canada) live dealer Roulette, Baccarat, and Blackjack games, along with classic Snakes & Ladders, Lightning Dice, Monopoly Live, and more. You get real dealers on real tables, and an experience as close to the real thing as it gets.

Live casino games combine the thrilling atmosphere only found in real-world casinos with the comfort of your home. Betway has taken great care to provide a handful of live-dealer gaming categories, including, but not limited to:

Betway Live Roulette

Live Roulette games take up the lion’s share of Betway’s Live Casino gaming catalogue with 37 live tables in Ontario and 60 live tables nationwide. All live roulette games come with HD live streaming and multi-angle support. You will find the Double Ball Roulette featuring not one but two balls for a double win chance, the Speed Auto Roulette, or the Lightning Roulette with lucky numbers, multipliers and pay-outs, or the good old American, Italian, Indian, and Arabian roulette variants.

Betway Live Baccarat

Betway has an array of standard, multiplayer, and speed baccarat games to choose from. Featuring state-of-the-art graphics, all Betway Live Baccarat games take you on a visually immersive ride featuring all the bells and whistles of a chic casino in Vegas or Macau. Baccarat has been around long enough to never go out of fashion, and we were not surprised to see how popular it has become on Betway Canada and Betway Ontario.

Betway Live Blackjack

Speaking of popular casino games, we can omit the most famous of them all, i.e. the good old blackjack. Betway hosts a decent number of Live Blackjack games on both of its Canadian platforms. We tested out most of them for a while and we enjoyed lush graphics, smooth streaming and found genuine pleasure in playing with a live dealer across the screen.

Betway Live Dice and Poker

Dice games are always fun, and the ones we played on Betway Canada and Betway Ontario make no exception. We tried Live Craps with its dazzling variety of betting options on the outcome of a roll of a pair of six-sided dice, and we loved it so much we can’t wait to do it again very soon. Wanna play with more dice? Betway’s Live Lightning Dice has got you covered, offering multiplied pay-outs if you guess the total number of the dice. The higher the number, the higher the pay-out multiplier.

Poker enthusiasts can choose from eight Betway live poker games (four on Betway Ontario) including a couple of Texas Hold’em and 3-card offerings. Land a Straight (or better) to get a nice Ante Bonus as a result or explore a Pair Plus or a Six Card Bonus wager to multiply your potential winnings.

To survive and prosper, every online business must rely on a solid software basis. The same concept applies to sportsbook and casino operators, as they would not survive unless they worked with software developers capable of crafting the best possible casino and live casino games you could find.

Such developers have established themselves on the market a long time ago and have since turned not only into industry leaders, but also become household names. That is why, it’s no wonder that Betway’s current roster of software providers include such companies as:

• Microgaming
• Playtech Live
• Evolution Gaming
• Pragmatic Play Live
• On Air Entertainment
• Scientific Games
• 1×2 Gaming
• BluePrint

The companies mentioned above are responsible for the exquisite graphics and state-of-the-art effects you can see in each game you play and add to Betway’s growing reputation.

The Betway group has developed mobile apps for Android and iOS users. There are two Android apps – one for Ontario (available on Google Play Canada) and another one for the rest of Canada (the Betway Sports app available on Betway’s website). Both offerings have tabs for casino, live casino, and Vegas. There are four separate Betway apps on the Apple AppStore, namely:

• Betway – Live Sports Betting
• Betway: Real Money Casino Games
• Betway: Real Money Live Casino
• Betway Vegas: Real Money SLots

If you have already set up an account using Betway Canada’s web platform, you can just download the app(s) and enter your login credentials. If you go straight for a mobile Betway app, you can follow the registration steps mentioned above.

Betway has gone to great lengths to squeeze in as much of its web platform’s features into its mobile apps as possible. You’ve got a multitude of sports categories, most of which also available for in-play betting, as well as hundreds of online casino and live dealer games to choose from. Overall, mobile bettors and gamblers will find a lot to like on the mobile Betway apps, regardless of their OS.

When it comes to payment methods, there is a golden rule that says: the more, the better. Betway has worked hard to provide a wide range of supported payment processors to its clients, as evident from the sheer number of deposit and withdrawal options available on the platform. At present, you can use the following payment processors:

We found no cryptocurrency wallets on the list above, so if you prefer to deposit digital currencies, you’ll have to look elsewhere for the time being.
Most of the payment service providers mentioned above – especially the web-based ones – process withdrawals almost instantly, while their traditional banking counterparts may require a couple of days to follow suit. However, there’s a withdrawal pending period of up to 72 hours used by Betway to perform a thorough verification check to make sure it is paying out money to the right person.

Since online gambling is an activity involving the exchange of money between you and the casino operator, the latter ought to provide a safe transaction environment. By deploying the latest SSL security protocols and meticulous ID verification mechanisms, Betway has proved to be a reliable entity for years to come.

As we’ve already seen, the registration process is clear and simple, yet leaves no room for misinformation. On the other hand, Betway’s Maltese license has guaranteed safe and sound operations since inception. The most recent license by iGaming Ontario further cemented Betway’s impeccable reputation in this regard.

last but not least, Betway Canada’s and Betway Ontario’s gaming software and systems undergo regular checks by independent labs such as eCogra to ensure compliance with their standards for fair games, responsible behavior, and monetary safety.

The way clients are treated is often the key to growing you customer base, and Betway seems to know that very well. You will find a comprehensive Help section both on Betway Ontario and Betway Canada outlining dozens of help categories – login problems, withdrawal/deposit queries, betting rules, verification details, etc – all containing the most common issues you may come across while using the Betway platform.

The help section is so detailed that you are very likely to find a solution to any problem before even contacting the support department. Of course, you can always get in touch with an agent via live chat, email, or phone whenever specific issues and inquiries arise along the way. You need to have logged into your account before contacting Betway’s customer support agents, though.
