Betway Casino PA Bonus Code & Review

Betway is a global sports betting company that has made big strides in the US market in 2021. The company’s online sportsbook is operating in a quickly increasing number states, including Pennsylvania, and its online casino is operating in Pennsylvania and neighboring New Jersey. Betway partnered with Live! Casino & Hotel in Philadelphia to gain entry to the PA market.

Betway is the newest online casino to open its virtual doors in Pennsylvania. Is it the best? Does anything separate it from the other dozen or so online casinos currently operating in the state? Those questions and more will be answered as we take a trip through the Betway online casino website and app while examining its promotions, games offered, banking options, and more. We will end with a special FAQ that will answer several your most burning questions about Betway casino. Let’s get started.

Betway Casino PA new customer promotion

We at PennBets aim to provide accurate information about the casinos operating online in PA, including new customer promotions, so that everyone can find a casino that fits what they are looking. We try to be as honest as possible here, diving into the details of new customer promotions and calling out offers that aren’t very good.

Unfortunately, while Betway does have a lot to offer casino players, its new customer promotion is possibly the worst in the industry. Here’s why.

Betway 100% match up to $1K

A $1000 new customer deposit match sounds great. Make a $1000 deposit and Betway PA will match it. Awesome. Dig a little deeper, and you will soon realize that almost no one actually clears the entire $1000 match because of Betway’s atrocious play-through requirement.

Let’s say you open an account and make a $1000 deposit. You now have 30 days to meet the wagering requirement to unlock the entire $1000 deposit match. This is standard, as is some sort of play-through requirement. Casinos want you to wager before they let you cash out the free money. The problem with Betway’s promotion is that the play-through requirement is an absurd 60x, which means you have to wager $60,000 within 30 days in order to earn the $1000 deposit match. That’s if you play slots, which have a 100% qualification for the match. Table poker and roulette only qualify at 8% and blackjack and video poker qualify at a laughable 2%. If you only play blackjack, you will have to wager $3 million within 30 days to clear the $1000 deposit match. Simply put, that requires extremely high volume that most bettors will struggle to complete.

Why Betway Casino PA?

So you’re not signing up for a Betway account because of the new customer promotion. That’s ok. Once new customer promotions have been used up, you’re betting with your own funds anyway. Better to think long-term and find an online casino that offers solid payouts, a wide variety of games, and an easy-to-use interface. Betway has all that and more.

Signing up for a Betway PA account

It is very easy to sign up for a Betway Casino PA account. There are only a few steps you need to take before you are ready to wager. First, you need to enter your email address and create a password. Second, you need to add some personal information, including your address, phone number, and the last four digits of your social security number. You also need to create a couple security questions so Betway can verify your account if you lose your password. Your personal information is safe and secure. Betway and all online casinos are required by the state of Pennsylvania to have industry leading security standards to keep your personal and financial information safe.

Geolocation – you must be in PA to bet

Once you create an account, which only takes about 4 minutes, you are ready to make a deposit and start hitting the tables. That is, if you are in Pennsylvania. Betway and all other online casinos use geolocation technology to ensure you are in Pennsylvania or any other state where it is legal to gamble online. If you’re on your computer, you have to install Betway’s player check software and then verify installation so it can run while you are using the casino. The software uses your wifi signal to confirm you are in Pennsylvania. And no, you can’t use a VPN to hide your location. Their technology quickly sniffs out VPNs and other location disguisers and will hit you with a ban. Don’t test it.

Games offered on Betway Casino

Betway Casino PA has all the top casino games that players are looking for. With over 150 different games available on the website and app, there is something for everyone. Let’s go over all the different types of games available on Betway.

Betway Casino PA slots

Every online casino offers slot games. The games are licensed to each casino by the company that owns them. For example, the extremely popular Gonzo’s Quest can be found on just about every online casino, including Betway. The game is owned by NetEnt, a large online casino technology company that makes many top slot games. State regulators monitor payouts and other back-end functions to ensure that the game is operating properly. Playing Gonzo’s Quest on Betway is no different than playing it on Hollywood Casino or Parx Casino.

But you may want to play it on Betway because it is so dang easy to find Gonzo’s Quest and any other slot you want to play. They are found on the Home page, the Slots tab right below the promotion banner, and by using the search function found on the right side of the home page. Once logged in, you are just two clicks away from any game. Can’t get much easier than that.

All the top slot games are available on Betway Casino, and you can also find the highest return-to-player percentage games along with jackpot slots. Whatever slot game you like to play, Betway has you covered. During testing, Betway offered 150+ slot games, which is fewer than other operators but still plenty to keep you entertained. However, some games were notably absent, including 88 Fortunes and Loot En Khamun. Here are some of the top slot games available on Betway:

• Gonzo’s Quest
• Cleopatra
• Divine Fortune
• Blood Suckers
• Pork Knox
• Wheel of Fortune
• Mercy of the Gods

Jackpot slots on Betway PA

Jackpot slots are different from regular slots because they don’t have a fixed jackpot payout. If you hit a jackpot on Wheel of Fortune, you will get a sizable amount of money, but it’s a set amount. Jackpot slots are progressive, which means the size of the jackpot grows every time someone plays the slot. The possibility of winning thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on one click inspires many people to play jackpot slots rather than their fixed payout counterparts. If you see a huge jackpot amount on the Jackpot Slot page, it might be worth playing for a bit. If the payout isn’t that big, you’re better off playing regular slot games that have a higher return-to-player (RTP) percentage.

Blackjack

Several types of blackjack are featured on Betway, including multi-hand blackjack, small stakes blackjack, and regular ol’ blackjack. You can wager anything from 50 cents to $1000 per hand, so there is a game to match your appetite for risk.

Baccarat

There are two baccarat games available, both of which are standard fare. Nothing exotic here, but you can get your baccarat fix at any level you choose to wager.

Roulette

Betway PA shines at roulette, offering many different roulette games, including French Roulette, European Roulette, and regular Roulette. All things being equal, we always recommend French or European Roulette over regular roulette because the odds are slightly greater for the player. This is because, as you may know, a regular American Roulette wheel has two green zeros (0 and 00). These zeros give the house a 5.7% advantage. A French or European wheel has one green zero, which cuts the house advantage in half. If you’re into roulette, be sure to check out the French and/or European options offered on Betway Casino Pennsylvania.

Craps

Nothing fancy about the one craps game offered on Betway. If you like craps, unfortunately you only have one option, but that’s not unusual with online casinos. Having craps at all is a major plus.

Video poker

Fans of video poker will like what Betway has to offer, with a lot of different poker games available. Unfortunately, the popular I Heart Suits game is not available, but Game King Video Poker is there, along with Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, and several other variations.

No live table games

Table games are obviously very popular at retail casinos, so it made sense a few years back when some online casinos tried successfully to recreate the live betting experience by creating live dealer table games. A video feed is connected to a studio and bettors at home play against a dealer in real time. The dealer on video deals the cards and the platform allows people to play for real money in real time. Live table games have exploded in popularity and are now offered by most of the big online casinos.

Sadly, Betway does not offer live table games. This is a significant shortcoming because live table games are a popular option that casino players have come to expect as part of their online casino experience. But live table games are likely quite expensive for casinos to produce, so it makes sense that only the biggest online casinos have the budget to offer it as an option. This isn’t a deal-breaker for everyone, however. Most casino players don’t want to interact with someone else on a video feed and are perfectly content playing typical online casino games. We hope that Betway offers live table games in the future, but if you’re looking for that casino experience you’ll have to go elsewhere for now.

Betway Casino banking options

VIP Preferred eCheck

The ever-popular banking option VIP Preferred eCheck is available at Betway. This deposit and withdrawal method securely connects Betway to your checking account so you can quickly and easily make deposits to your account and also withdraw funds whenever you want. No account to sign up for or any additional hoops to jump through.

Play+ branded prepaid card

If you’re not comfortable with connecting your checking account to an online casino, there are other options available. Play+ is another popular option used by most sportsbooks and online casinos. You can fund your account through a Play+ account that you open and control, and your deposits and withdrawals flow through Play+. You will even receive a physical prepaid card in the mail that you can use to make purchases anywhere Discover is accepted. Or you can just transfer the funds from your Play+ account to your checking account. It’s always good to have options.

PayPal

You know what PayPal is. You likely even have a PayPal account. The super-popular ewallet is available for deposits and withdrawals at Betway Casino. Add funds to your PayPal account and transfer those funds over to your Betway account without having to hassle with a bank transaction. Want to withdraw your winnings? Easily transfer them to your PayPal account and either keep them there or transfer them to your checking account. Easy as falling off a log.

PayNearMe (Deposit only)

Maybe you’re more of a cash person. Of course, most retail casino transactions are done in cash, so you might prefer to keep all of your casino gaming cash-only. No problem. By using PayNearMe, you can create a deposit slip on your phone that you then take to a participating retailer like 7-Eleven or CVS within Pennsylvania, where they scan the deposit slip barcode, accept your cash, and give you a receipt. The funds will appear in your Betway account within minutes. Note that this is only available for deposits. You will have to use a different method for withdrawing funds.

Betway Casino FAQs

What games are available on Betway Casino?

Over 150+ total games are available on Betway Casino. This impressive list includes all the top slot games, several jackpot slot games, blackjack, roulette, video poker, baccarat, and craps. Live table games are not available at this time, but we hope Betway adds this popular option at some point in the future.

Can I play Betway Casino when I visit other states outside of Pennsylvania?

Betway Casino is currently available in PA and NJ. So if you’re visiting your aunt in Trenton, you will be able to play all your favorite Betway Casino games at her house (though on the New Jersey site!). But if you’re visiting your friend in Arizona, you will have to wait to play until you return back to PA. This is unfortunate, but the reality is that online casino gaming is only legal in a few select states, so there is a limited area where people can use any online casino operator, including Betway.

How is Betway Casino PA different from the competition?

Frankly, Betway Casino isn’t much different than its competitors. It offers most of the same slot games and table games. It has a new customer promotion that looks good at first glance but has onerous play-through requirements. It has a nice app and browser version that are easy to use. It has several deposit and withdrawal options. All in all it is a fine product. People that choose Betway over the competition likely would do so because of their preference for the Betway sportsbook. Like many operators, Betway offers a sportsbook and casino in Pennsylvania that share a virtual wallet. You can quickly and easily go back and forth between the sportsbook and the casino and use the same account funds for either option. So if you like the Betway sportsbook, Betway Casino is certainly worth a look.

Does Betway Pennsylvania have a rewards program?

Many online casinos offer a rewards program to keep their loyal customers playing their favorite games. Each dollar you spend earns rewards points, which can then be redeemed for perks such as free play, free meals, free hotel nights, and more. Most rewards programs offered limited value to bettors, but even so, they are free to join so you may as well get a little bit of value for the games you are playing anyway.

Unfortunately, Betway does not offer a casino rewards program. We hope they will introduce one in the future and will update this section if they do so.

How does Betway Casino promote and encourage responsible gaming?

Online casino gaming is a form of entertainment similar to watching a movie or going out to dinner. Putting a few bucks in your Betway account, spinning some slots, and hopefully winning some money can be an enjoyable way to unwind after a long day. But sometimes things get a little out of hand and people end up wagering more than they can afford to lose. Betway understands this and has several programs set up to help encourage responsible gaming. These programs include:

• • Setting deposit and loss limits
  • A section on the Betway website listing helpful information on the warning signs related to problem gaming
  • Easily letting players set a cooling off period during which time they cannot log into their Betway account
  • Offering the option to add a player’s name to a self-exclusion list maintained by Pennsylvania gaming authorities that prevents them from entering a retail casino or opening an account at Betway or any other online casino for up to five years
