How's the feeling on the Betway site?

Being a bit thrown off, initially, is par for the course on most betting websites. Betway also toes this line. However, after a short settling-in period, you will find that the site is well-organized and neatly structured, and invites you to further explore the content. As far as colours are concerned, the page appears mainly in modern, darker shades with dashes of white and green which are used for adding contrast and important links. Overall, the design is user-friendly and easy on the eye.

 

 

A slideshow on the main page informs you about current betting offers and other important updates. Just below the slideshow are links to the different sports on offer. Top of the left-hand pane are notable sporting events, especially in football, while the bottom shows the top live games, both happening that day. At the top of the screen, you can easily see how much you have in your account, including your free bets (bonus bets), as well as links to make a deposit, view other account information, and log out of your account.

The search function on the Betway website works well and provides the result without taking you away from the current page. When you enter a search term such as “Arsenal,” it shows the upcoming matches/events for Arsenal; up to seven matches are shown at once. You can click on the drop-down menu to quickly make a home or away win or draw bet without leaving the search result. When making bets on a particular match, you can also search for specific options such as ‘halftime’ and ‘corner’ to bring up all betting options under the search term.
