So without further ado, let’s get started into a deep dive into the world of everything related to the Betway App!

Betway App FAQs

📲 How do I download the Betway app?

This question depends on whether you have an android or apple device.

If you’re using an android, you will need to visit Betway’s mobile site, click on the menu button found toward the top left hand corner of the screen, click on quick links, and then click on “Betway App”.

Once you’ve done that:

  1. Go to Settings on your phone
  2. Click on Device Administration
  3. Search for Unknown Sources
  4. Tick the Box
  5. Go back to Betway Mobile
  6. Click on “Download the App for Android
  7. Click on OK
  8. Once the App has been downloaded, click on Install.

If, however, you’re using an iPhone device, you have to options. Either you could go the app store, search for “Betway App” and download it directly from there. You could, alternatively however:

  1. Visit Betway Mobile
  2. Click on Menu to the Top right hand corner of the screen
  3. Click on Quick Links
  4. Click on “Betway App”
  5. Click on “How to download the app on your iPhone”
  6. Click on the link (which will take you directly to the app store)
  7. Click on Get
  8. Click on Install

Both processes shouldn’t take you longer than 2 minutes to complete.

💸 Is the Betway App Free?

Thankfully, Betway’s amazing app is free to download, and use, however if you’re looking to place bets, or play betting games, you will need to have money in your betting account.

This means that while getting the app is free, actually using it to its full capacity will eventually cost you money.

🤷 How does the Betway App work?

The betway app works fairly similar to any other app that’s out there. Once you’ve downloaded it, a homescreen icon will appear on your phone, and when you click it, you will open it and will be required to log in before you can get to your betting.

The app looks almost identical to Betway’s mobile website, but instead of having to search for Betway in your preferred search engine, you’re able to simply click a button that will allow you to get to the platform to start betting.

🔒 Is the Betway App safe?

The Betway app is indeed safe, and will not harm your device in any way once you’ve downloaded it. We can tell by experience, as everyone on the team here at mybettingsites has downloaded the app, and have experienced no issues.

We are aware that if you’re using an android device, you will need to change some security settings on your phone, but this will not affect anything with regard to the actual security of your phone.

🤔 Where can I download the Betway App?

This answer to this question again depends on which device you own. If you’re on android, you will need to download the Betway app from the website.

This is partly due to the fact that betting apps aren’t available on the google play store (the app store that is available on android devices), so all android users need to download any and all betting apps via the betting sites’ websites.

If however you are an iPhone user, you are able to get the app on the app store. Simply opening up the app store and searching for “Betway app” will do the trick.

You can also go ahead and streamline the process by going to Betway’s mobile site and following the link there which will take you straight to the app store.

❓ Is there a Betway app for Android?

There is indeed a Betway app for android users, and can be downloaded straight from the mobile website.

Downloading the android app requires changing some security settings on your phone, but downloading the app will take a maximum of 2 minutes to complete.

📱 What is a Betway APK?

An APK is a file that you download onto your phone that holds an app within it.

Due to the fact that no betting apps can be found on app stores on android devices, the only way to download betting apps as an android user is to download APK files directly from the betting website you are looking to get the app from.

Therefore, a Betway APK is the file that contains Betway’s app, that can be downloaded onto your phone if you’re an android user.

🧐 Is there a Betway app on the App Store?

The Betway app is indeed available on the app store that can be found on an iPhone or iPad.

If however, you're an android user, there will not be a Betway app available on the Google Play Store (you might find an app that claims to be the betway app, but it won’t be legit).

The only way to get the Betway app on an android device, is for you to go directly to Betway Mobile, and download the app from there.

What You Need to Get the Betway App

Now that you’ve had a couple questions answered, you may be interested in finding out a little bit more as to how to get started with the Betway app.

The purpose of this section is to ensure that you are aware of all that you need to be equipped with in order to get the Betway app.

The truth however, is that if you’ve found yourself on this article, you most likely have all that is needed to get the Betway app.

Aside from being over 18, and having a device, there’s not much else you need to get the Betway app!
Betway app what you need

Take a look at the list of requirements below to see exactly what you need in order to get the Betway app!

  • NOTE: If you are younger than 18, we politely urge you to come back to this site when you are of age, as it is illegal to gamble if you are younger than 18 years old.

Betway App Prerequisites

🔞 You need to be 18+

This is an important one. As was highlighted in the point before, you must be 18 to be able to gamble in South Africa. If you are below the age of 18, and gamble, you are breaking the law.

If you lie about your age on Betway’s platform, your account will be blocked, and you will most likely never have an account with them again (and you'd be committing fraud).

So do the wise thing, and come back when you are 18 or older.

If you’re 18+, read on!

📱 You need a smartphone

In order to get the Betway app, you will need a phone that is compatible with the app. In other more simple terms, you will need to have a smartphone in order to complete the Betway app download.

An android smartphone (such as samsung, huawei, and a handful of others) or an iPhone will do the trick!

📶 You need a solid internet connection

In order to download the Betway app, as well as use it later on down the line, you will need to have a solid internet connection.

If you’re on a smartphone, a positive data balance, or access to wifi would do the trick.

We recommend wifi, because while betting apps tend to use less data compared to other apps, it’s always good to save your data for the situations where you really need it.

📘 You need to have some knowledge of sports

Downloading an app for sports betting without any prior knowledge of sports betting is kind of like eating ice cream while being lactose intolerant. You may enjoy it in the beginning, but it could become disastrous later on down the line.

We recommend everyone new to betting to do a bit of homework before you get your betting journeys under way.

The best way to do this is to simply watch sports! You can also read up a lot online, and follow sports teams and leagues on social media to get some more insights!

Is the Betway App Safe?

Another question that you might want to be answered is whether or not the Betway app is safe.

Aside from having to hand Betway a bunch of sensitive details, installing the app on android requires you to turn off certain security settings.

Don’t worry however, everything about Betway, including their app, is safe!
Betway app safe

Betway is one of the most prestigious betting operators in the world, with a well established reputation for being safe, legal, and all round fun.

When it comes to choosing a safe betting app, and an overall safe betting site, there’s no one better than Betway

What is a Betway APK

Alex Goldstein

If you’ve read a little about the Betway app, then you may have found that in the information, you saw something called a “Betway APK”.

If you don’t know what that means, don’t stress, in the beginning we weren’t too sure either.

An APK is a file that you can download onto your phone that contains an app. Once you’ve downloaded the file, you are able to install the app, and use it just as you would with any other app out there.

The reason APKs are so popular amongst betting apps is because betting apps cannot be found on the Google Play Store, the app store that can be found on android devices.

Since no betting apps are available on the Google Play Store, betting sites that offer apps have had to get creative in order to still offer the android users a betting app to use.

While APKs may not be as straightforward to download, with our help, you won’t have any issues.

How to Download the Betway App on iOS

The last section exclusively focussed on android users, and what they need to do in order to download the Betway app.

While the majority of South Africans use Android devices, this article would be incomplete if we were to not include a section on completing the Betway app download on an iPhone.

Downloading the Betway app on your iPhone Device is a walk in the park!

This will save you plenty of time.

🤳 Click on Menu

Once on Betway’s mobile website, click on the "Menu" option.

A few options will appear once you’ve clicked this option.

🔗 Click on Quick Links

As was mentioned, a few options will appear once you’ve clicked on the menu button, however, none of these options will lead you to the Betway app page.

As a result, you will need to click on the quick links option in order to find the Betway App link.

📲 Click on Betway App

Once you’ve clicked on quick links, you will see a link that says “Betway App” that’s second from the top.

Clicking on it will take you straight to the Betway app page, where you’ll be able to download the Betway app.

Once you’re on the Betway app page, you will see an option to download the app on android, and on an iPhone. Click on the iPhone option.

Download the Betway App Directly From App Store

If you’d prefer to download the Betway app directly from the app store, we have you covered. You may want to cut out the middle man and not download the app via Betway, we understand that.

If this applies to you, you can follow the following steps:

  1. Go to the App Store

  4. Click On Get
  5. Click on Install

And that’s it! You’ll have the Betway app in the palm of your hands!

Is there a Betway App Bonus

Now that you know a bit more about the Betway app, we thought we’d focus on some of those secondary questions, such as whether or not you get a bonus for downloading and using the Betway app.

This is a fair question, seeing that every time you sign up with a betting site for the first time, you get some form of welcome bonus.
  • With Betway however, you will get your bonus after you create an account for the first, and that’s where it ends.
Betway app bonus

While Betway’s bonus really offers you free money to bet with, it is only available for users creating an account for the first time.

So if you have created an account before downloading the app, you will not receive an extra bonus for getting the app.

If however, you download the app before creating an account, you will have the opportunity to claim a R25 Free Bet welcome bonus after creating your account!

  • Just know that the welcome bonus offered by Betway is attached to when you create an account, and not when you you get the app
Betway Bonus Ts & Cs
Alex Goldstein

How to Bet on the Betway App

If you've come this far, you may be interested in learning a bit more as to how to use the Betway app.

One of the most important things to know once you have a betting app is how to actually bet with it.

While the process isn’t rocket science, we thought it may be a good idea to show you how it’s done without running into any issues.

If you’re unsure, don’t worry, we’ll get you up and running with betting on the Betway app in no time!
Betway app betting steps
  • We will provide and expand on all the steps required to bet on Betway’s app.

Betway App Betting Guide

⚽ Select your Sport

The first step in the process of placing a bet on the Betway app is to go ahead and select the sport you’re interested in betting on.

The Betway app makes it exceptionally easy to navigate through their sportsbook, as you can find all of their sports just beneath the banner carousel that flashes different offers they have.

Simply scroll through the sports that are available and pick the one that interests you.

🧐 Find your League

Once you’ve picked the sport that interests you most, a list of highlighted events from that particular sport will appear. For example, if you pick soccer, you may see a list of premier league, la liga and bundesliga events appear.

To narrow down all of the events that are being displayed, click on where it says league, and choose the country that offers the league you’re interested in. (For example, choose England if you want to bet on the Premier League, and so on).

Once you choose the country, a drop down menu of leagues that Betway are covering will appear. Go ahead and click on the league that interests you!

  • Note: With Betway, you can select more than league, so if you’re interested in betting on the Premier League, as well as the Champions League, you can do so!
🔍 Find your Event

Once you’ve selected the league you’d like to bet on, the next step is to find the event (or events) that interest you.

Simply do this by scrolling through the events that will be appearing on the page once you’ve selected the league that interests you.

🖱️ Make Your Selection

Once you have found the event that interests you, take a look at the odds, and make a calculated decision as to what you think will happen.

We always live by the rule of never bet on the team you support, because you don’t want your love for your team getting in the way of making a calculated decision.

What’s more, is that if you’re interested in making more than one selection, you can click on the more bets option, and choose from all the markets that are offered by Betway.

💸 Enter your Stake

Once you’ve made your selection, it will be automatically added to your betslip.

On the Betway app, your betslip can be found toward the top right hand of the screen.

It will have a numbered notification that will pop up in yellow. When you tap it, it will appear, and here you will be able to enter your stake.

Your stake is the amount of money you are willing to wager, and directly determines the amount of money you stand to win, as your winnings are your stake multiplied by the odds given to the event.

👊 Confirm your Bet

Once you have completed each of the preceding steps, all you will have left to do is click on the confirm my bet option, which will officially place your bet!

Best Betway App Features
