Betway Esports Review

Review last updated on March 9, 2023

Betway has always been at the forefront of innovation, so it was only natural for them to embrace one of the most popular new sports. Relegated to the status of mere games for many years, eSports are now one of the brightest stars in their collection of online sports. The most competitive athletes in the world square off in virtual arenas and this bookmaker has all the relevant games covered.

eSports have become so popular mostly due to the fact that the vast majority of those who wager are also playing the games. Betway doesn’t have a live streaming service for any of these video games yet, but with the advent of Twitch TV and other broadcasting services, punters can monitor the action as it unfolds for free. Things can change quickly on the virtual battlefields and those who also watch the games live are more likely to make an educated decision.

Games

Betway members can now bet on CS:GO matches and indicate the name of the winner as well as the margin of victory. Those who enjoy the fast-paced action of Dota 2 and League of Legends can bet on the games that pit the best teams against each other. It is also possible to place ante-post wagers and indicate the name of the winners, several days before a tournament starts.

Blizzard fans will be thrilled to discover that not only the flagship Starcraft 2 game, but also new additions, such as Heroes of the Storm and Heartstone were included. With Koreans still dominating the Starcraft arena, special attention is given to their domestic championships, such as ProLeague, MSI and GSL.

History buffs with a keen eye for gambling will enjoy the best of both worlds at Betway, as the bookie has also introduced special bets and markets on World of Tanks. It is now possible to bet not only on the outcome of games, but also on whether this video game will be a part of Winter Olympics 2030.

Banking

A broad spectrum of payment methods is available to Betway customers, including Visa and Mastercard among other credit cards. Electronic wallets are preferred by punters and they allow for instant deposits and speedy withdrawals, significantly faster than the conventional bank transfers.

Players are recommended to use the same financial instruments for deposits and withdrawals whenever this is possible, to mitigate the risks of fraud and money laundering. Customer support is available 24/7 and can provide assistance via email, live chat and toll-free numbers for players from several countries.

VIP & Bonuses

Even the most successful gamblers and knowledgeable eSports punters need a little help to offset the house edge and Betway lends a helping hand. It does so by offering a welcome bonus and matching the deposits of those who sign up for a real money account. Players can use these funds to place a risk-free wager and in the long run, there will be additional promotions offering bonuses and even more free bets.
