Bwin Review

Bwin is a recognisable brand that has been on the online betting scene pretty much from the get-go, having launched in 1997 as Betandwin. It’s perhaps best known for its coverage of football markets, but punters can use Bwin to bet on more than 90 different sports with offers including enhanced accas and best odds guaranteed available on many markets.

Why Bet With Bwin?

▶️ Top-tier live betting options

🎥 Loads of live streaming

📱 Dedicated apps for sports betting & casino

✅ Renowned international brand

🛠 Nice bet builder

Live betting has long been a cornerstone of the Bwin sports betting product, and it continues to excel in this space today. Part of the reason for this is its strong live streaming offering.

Bwin live streams cover up to 50 live events every day across 20 different sports.

Bwin is an established international brand and that brings a certain level of reassurance for punters seeking reliable bookies. The range of markets available to bet on underlines its status as a top-tier operator.

The Bwin website looks sharp and is nice and responsive. Dark/night mode aficionados will be especially attracted by the easy-on-the-eye black theme.

Overall the sports betting site is well thought through, with the various menu options, featured event ribbons, promotional boxes and bet slip all present as expected without making everything feel too cluttered.

Bwin provides an intuitive, user-friendly Build A Bet function for creating your own multiple by combining several markets on the same event, and a similarly simple Multi Builder for building accas across events and sports with ease.

The Bwin casino product is comprehensive, with players able to choose from a wide range of slots, jackpot games, and traditional table games, as well as a live casino featuring top game show games and card tables. Bwin Poker benefits from its own standalone app and virtual sports are also available.

The Bwin new customer offer gives punters the chance to get up to their first £20 of losses back as a free bet. Here’s how you can claim this offer:

How to claim the Bwin sign up offer:

1. Click 'Claim' and sign up for a new Bwin account.
2. Deposit £5
3. Place a sports bet of £5 or more at odds of 1/2 or greater
4. receive 4 x £5 free bets

😏 TIP: Once credited, the Free Bet will be found above the bet slip.

There is little doubt that Bwin has established itself as one of the premier international sports betting brands over recent years, helped along the way by major sponsorship deals with the likes of Real Madrid and AC Milan. However, money spent on those sponsorship deals would be wasted if Bwin didn’t also provide a strong sports betting product, and it certainly does that.

The Bwin sports betting offering is of a high quality, as you might expect from a sportsbook with such a long-established history in the market.

Over 90 different sports are available to bet on with Bwin.

Markets ranging from quickfire in-play point bets on tennis to more long-sighted outright betting markets on next year’s La Liga winner, plus pretty much everything else in between.

Bwin UK

UK players have a full range of sports markets available to them at Bwin, all presented via its slick and responsive website.

Key sports for UK punters, namely football and horse racing, unsurprisingly occupy prominent positions on the Bwin site, with the day’s football and racing calendars easily accessible via the buttons on the left hand side.

Bwin does a great job of covering tennis matches from Grand Slam tournaments down to the Challenger and ITF level.

Cricket, Darts, Golf, NFL and F1 are also all accounted for to a level that will satisfy the vast majority of British bettors.

Bwin Football Betting

Bwin has historically poured resources into marketing its products to football fans via prestige shirt sponsorships of elite teams including Real Madrid and AC Milan (it’s currently an official partner of Borussia Dortmund, Valencia, Köln, and the Belgian top division). It comes as no surprise, then, that Bwin has made sure its football offering stands up to scrutiny.

There is a great selection of matches available, including club friendlies and obscure lower-division clashes alongside the more popular elite level club and international fixtures.

A large number of football matches are supported by in-play live streaming.

Markets are varied, with classics like match result, goal lines and correct score supplemented by interesting combo bets, a wide range of corners betting options, and plenty of 15-minute markets (sometimes called ‘rapid’ or ‘fast’ markets by other bookies).

Other options are not always available at other online bookies, including the interesting ‘Run of Play’ market, which allows punters to bet on whether a team will take the lead but go on to lose, lead and win, or lead and draw. If you fancy your ability to read matches but don’t like backing a particular team, this opens up your options nicely.

The availability of interesting markets, in addition to regularly promoted enhanced odds multiples, offsets the lack of more depth in the player props markets and the omission of asian handicap lines.

Bwin Horse Racing

Just because Bwin's football markets are impressive doesn’t mean that horse racing fans are not catered for.

Bwin covers the UK & Irish schedule as well as a broad range of international fixtures.

Best odds guaranteed promotions are on offer for plenty of races, and tips from Betfair-owned sports data and content provider Timeform are also integrated into the race market layouts. Bwin has a lot to offer horse racing punters, but the lack of live streaming brings its marks down a little.

Bwin Live Streaming

Bwin’s live streaming calendar has long been one of its key strengths. It has been offering live feeds of top sports events to its customers for longer than many other bookies have even existed in the UK market. Today, Bwin live streams cover up to 50 live events every day across 20 different sports, including football, basketball, and more.

Bwin Build A Bet

Bwin have really nailed the presentation of their bet builder product, Build A Bet. Build A Bet displays in a screen-wide pop-up once you select it on any available event.

For football matches, options are extensive enough with team and match booking points, corners, and plenty of goal markets meaning punters can craft a pretty complex bet. Build A Bet is also available on other sports such as Basketball.

Bwin Cash Out

Bwin offers cash out on numerous markets, which means bettors can safeguard winnings or reduce potential losses before an event has finished. The Bwin cash out function works smoothly, the only downside being that there are no fractional/partial cashouts.

Bwin underlines its status as a powerhouse in the online betting industry with the provision of multiple dedicated mobile apps optimised for iOS and Android.

Bwin iPhone app

The Bwin iPhone app makes use of a similarly smart interface as is presented on desktop. The app is easy to navigate with promotions and features never more than a finger-tap or two away.

Bwin Android app

For Android users, the Bwin mobile experience via the Bwin Sports android app is decent rather than absolutely brilliant. It’s far better than not having a dedicated app, of course. The Bwin app can be downloaded on the Play Store, and you can also download it directly from the Bwin site.

Bwin Casino app

iPhone and iPad bettors can utilise the Poker and Casino Games app available on the App Store.

On Android, Bwin has separate apps for Online Casino, Live Casino, and Poker.

Bwin Mobile

If you prefer not to download additional apps, you can of course access the Bwin mobile site via your preferred browser on mobile. The mobile version of the website performs perfectly well.

The Bwin sports betting site is packed full of products that we have come to expect from a top-tier bookie, and also offers several unique features that aren’t always available elsewhere.

Bwin Promotions

The offer of free bets is always a strong draw for new users, and existing and returning bwin customers can also take advantage of a selection of specials and ongoing promotions. While maybe not as creative as some competitors, these promotions and offers still provide punters the opportunity to eke out some extra value and excitement.

Ongoing promotions include enhanced accas, best odds guaranteed, and free-to-play predictor games.

With ‘Show Your Colours’, you can select a favourite team from the Premier League or Championship, and Bwin will serve you with special betting promotions and content specific to that team.

Bwin Customer Service

Bwin customers can bet safely in the knowledge that 24/7 live chat is available. If you can’t find the answer to your question in the FAQ sections, then other ways to get help from Bwin include Secure Private Message on Facebook Messenger or Twitter, email, and phone.

Bwin Sister Sites

Bwin is ultimately owned by Entain plc and is operated by LC International Limited. LC International is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and operates several other well-known UK-facing iGaming brands. On the sports betting side these include Ladbrokes, Coral, Sporting Bet, and Betdaq. Casino sites in this group include Gala, Foxy Bingo, Party Poker, and Cheeky Bingo.

Bwin covers all the most common bases for UK punters with respect to deposit options. The standard debit/credit card methods are available, in addition to bank transfer, PayPal, PromoCode, MuchBetter, and paysafecard. The minimum deposit amount varies depending on which method you go for:

• Visa (min. £10)
• MasterCard (min. £10)
• Paypal (min. £10)
• Trustly (min. £10)
• Maestro (min. £10)
• PromoCode (min. N/A)
• MuchBetter (min. £10)
• paysafecard (min. £5)

Bwin PayPal

The minimum amount that you can deposit via PayPal is £10. The maximum is £10,000 and there is no processing fee.

Although there are plenty of advantages to using PayPal, deposits made via PayPal unfortunately do not qualify for the Bwin new customer offer.

Bwin Withdrawal Methods

Bwin withdrawals must be made to the same card or eWallet that was used to make the initial deposit.

Bwin Casino offers a broad selection of slots, blackjack, roulette, instant win games, and more. As with the sports betting site, the casino pages are quick to load and responsive, making navigation a breeze.

Bwin Live Casino

A live casino is a must for any top-tier casino site these days, and Bwin is no exception. The Bwin Live Casino offering includes game shows and other live games, in addition to multiple variations of more traditional live casino games like blackjack and roulette.

Bwin Poker

Poker players at Bwin are served by a standalone Bwin poker desktop app.

Promotions such as Hot Tables, Fast Forward Poker, and a rewards program offering up to 40% rakeback all add to the Bwin poker experience.

There are tables and tournaments available to join that will suit beginners using micro stakes, as well as more experienced and better-funded players who can play on tables with $100/$200 stakes.
