Betway Mobile Betting

The main use of the Betway app is to enable bettors to bet easily. And the app is built to be user-friendly and simple to use, so bettors won’t find it so hard to use. So we will look at how to bet on the Betway app. Follow the steps below to bet on the Betway South Africa app.

Betway App Review

In addition to making deposits, betting, and making withdrawals, the app is useful for many other features it has. We will look at some of the features that make the betting experience better on the Betway app.

Cash Out

One of the features that make betting less risky is the cash out feature. With the cash out feature, you can cut your losses if the predictions you made are not going according to plan. When you use the cash out option, you take a percentage of the expected winnings of a bet slip.

The cash out amount is dependent on the amount staked, the stage of the game and the remaining time. To use the cash out option, click on the ‘Betslip’ button at the top of the home page and click on the ‘My Bets’ tab. You will see the bet slips available for cash out.

Live betting

Live betting is another feature that has revolutionised the way we bet. With the live betting feature, you can place your bets after the game has started. And because the game has progressed a bit, you are in a better position to predict how the game will play out.

Every popular sporting event and a few not-so-popular events have live betting markets. To place in-play bets on the bookmaker, you have to first click the ‘Live’ tab at the top of the page and sports that have live events will be displayed.

Next, choose the sports you want to bet on and make a prediction. Finally, stake money to the prediction and click on ‘Confirm’.

Security

One feature that mobile apps have that neither desktop nor mobile sites have is the security feature. Mobile apps are built with a secured socket layer (SSL) that prevents them from attacks from the internet. So you can be assured that your personal details and financial details are safe on the mobile app.

However, you must always ensure to keep your app up to date. The technical team releases app updates to keep the app secure. So always look out for the update notification and install the updates as soon as there are released.

Notifications

The notifications feature is another distinctive thing about mobile apps. You can receive notifications from mobile apps on your device, and the Betway app is no different. These notifications are about promotions from the bookmaker and the highlights of games.

For example, you can receive a notification about a time-limited promotion. You can also receive a notification about when a game is about to start so that you can place pre-game bets or in-play bets.

Data Free Betting

One key feature of the Betway app that distinguishes it from other apps is the ability to place bets without using data. The Betway data free app can come in handy if you are far off from a place with data coverage and need to bet on an important fixture.

Also, if you have limited data, the app will allow you to place bets. However, this feature is only for placing bets; you will need to use data to complete the transactions on the payment processor’s website to make deposits or withdrawals.

Customer Service

The Betway review won’t be complete if we don’t talk about the customer service feature of the bookmaker. The customer service feature on the mobile app is easier to reach than on the other platforms. For ins

tance, there is the inbox tab at the bottom of the app’s home page. The inbox is a collection of all the messages you send to the bookmaker via live chat on the mobile app.

In addition to the live chat, there are still the normal customer service channels of the bookmaker. And you can use your mobile devices to contact them on these channels. Here are some of them

  • Maxi call: 0861 787 250
  • Social media: Facebook (BetwaySouthAfrica), Twitter (@betway_za).
