Betway Sportsbook PA Promo Code

Betway Sportsbook has opened its virtual doors to customers in Pennsylvania, becoming the latest operator to enter the state’s crowded sports betting market. A subsidiary of European powerhouse Super Group (which was acquired by Sports Entertainment Acquisition Corp. in 2021), Betway has established its sportsbook here in the States, going live in four states before coming to Pennsylvania, the largest sports betting market the company has entered to date. Betway Sportsbook partnered with Live! Casino & Hotel in Philadelphia and is licensed through the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB).

Pennsylvania has become an extremely popular destination for online sportsbooks due to the state’s large population base and its multitudes of passionate sports fans that love to bet on their favorite PA teams. Although legal online sportsbooks in PA can’t be accessed in casinos (even when visiting Betway’s partnered property, the Live! Casino & Hotel — more on that later), people can access Betway and other sportsbooks anywhere else in the state. Read on to find out how to sign up for a Betway Sportsbook PA account, what welcome bonus you can expect, how to deposit and withdraw funds, and more.

Betway Sportsbook PA welcome promotion: $250 risk-free wager

New customers who sign up for a Betway Sportsbook account through PennBets are eligible for a one-time, risk-free sports wager up to $250. Simply sign up through our links and create a new account, then make a first-time deposit of at least $10 to become eligible for this promotion. Your very first wager will then be counted towards the welcome bonus, but only $250 will be risk-free. So if your first bet is $10 and you lose, you get $10 back in free credit. If you bet $1500 and lose your first bet, you will get $250 back in credit.

Here are a few more details that you should be aware of:

• The one-time, risk-free wager MUST be used within seven days of opening a new verified account, or it is forfeited
• The betting odds for the qualifying promotional wager top out at -300, so feel free to take a favorite, but not too much of one
• Bonus Bets credited to a new account holder may not be withdrawn or considered as cash. They must be subsequently used within seven days of arriving in the Betway Sportsbook PA legal sports bettors account or they are forfeited
• If your bonus bet wins, you can immediately withdraw the winnings but not the original bonus bet amount. So if you take the Eagles +5 (+100) for $250 with your bonus bet and it hits, you get $250 ($250 bet at even money) but not $500 (winnings + original bonus bet). This is standard at most major sportsbooks.
• Only the very first wager placed by a new, verified account holder is eligible for this promotion
• Only ONE individual per household, payment account number, telephone, or email may take advantage of this exclusive welcome offer.

Betway Sportsbook PA sign-up requirements

To sign-up for a legal online sports betting account with Betway Sportsbook in Pennsylvania (and make legal wagers), the following conditions must be met:

• All sports bettors must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age
• All sports bettors must be physically located in Pennsylvania when making wagers (deposits can be made outside of the state, but wagers made when outside the state will not go through)
• Upon creating an account, legal online sports bettors must provide their full name, address (even if they reside outside of PA), telephone number, email, as well as the last four digits of their U.S. Social Security Number (SSN)
• Once these details have been verified by Betway Sportsbook PA, the account holder will be able to place legal online wagers as long as that individual is physically in Pennsylvania when making the bet. The account holder can be a resident or visitor but must be physically located in PA

To begin the sign-up process on Betway Sportsbook, you’ll need to provide a valid email address as well as a unique password. A verification email will be sent to that email address, and the next steps in the sign-up process can then be performed.

Betway Sportsbook Pennsylvania browser review

The Betway Sportsbook PA desktop client is easy to read thanks to the brand’s dark background and light lettering/font. Individual betting markets (available sports to wager on) can be found in the left-hand margin of the client, and the middle portion updates once a menu option is clicked on. All the bet boosts and promotions are featured in a rotating banner right in the middle of the page, where they are impossible to miss. The right-hand margin of the desktop client is where you will find your pending bets. You can conveniently combine your bets into a parlay (when applicable) or make them straight bets. This is a nice touch not offered by every sportsbook. 

As with all Pennsylvania online sportsbooks, the brand’s in-state license partner, Live! Casino+Hotel Philadelphia, has a prominent logo displayed in the top left corner of the platform.

Betway Sportsbook app review

Similar to the desktop version, Betway Sportsbook PA’s mobile app features a dark background with light lettering that makes icons and text easy to read. Your favorite betting markets, access to your bet slip, or FAQ info is just a quick swipe or two away at all times, and it only takes a few minutes to become familiar with Betway PA’s app if you already have used the browser version.

When placing a real money wager on Betway PA, live odds are updated in real-time and the score is even shown, which is a helpful featured not offered by every sportsbook. All in all, this is a very good app that is easy to understand and navigate. With this said, there are occasional errors that appear when using the Betway PA app when attempting to update information. What we’ve found is that the app occasionally “freezes,” which results in no markets being displayed when a customer attempts to tap through to seek corresponding information. However, this bug is not prevalent, so hopefully this will be improved upon in the future for a more seamless navigation experience.

Betway Sportsbook PA retail casino partner

The Betway Online Sportsbook in Pennsylvania is licensed through the Live! Casino & Hotel in heart of Philadelphia, a long home run away from the city’s sports stadiums. The Live! brand is likewise associated with the Super Group parent umbrella company and offers land-based customers a multitude of live play, online casino, poker, dining, and lodging services. For retail sportsbook enthusiasts who are in the City of Brotherly Love, there is a FanDuel-branded facility located within the Live! Philadelphia property that offers every sports betting option imaginable. Betway does not have a retail sportsbook anywhere in the state. Their partnership with Live! is online-only. Betway Casino does operate legally in the state, however.

Sportsbooks not accessible from PA land-based casinos

Unfortunately for legal online sports bettors in the Keystone State, access is explicitly blocked when physically located within a licensed land-based casino property — even if that land-based casino happens to have a partnership tie-in with the online sportsbook. Want to place a real money wager online via Betway PA while visiting the LIVE! Casino in Philadelphia? Sorry, no can do. Off to the retail sportsbook with you. 

Due to Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board regulations, you’ll be geo-blocked from using Betway PA while physically located in any licensed brick & mortar casino in Pennsylvania — regardless of whether you are an in-state resident or visitor. This policy is a drastic departure from other licensed states in which online sports betting is typically promoted at the very least through a land-based partner, which can allow customers to place bets at a physical location or with a cross-sponsored online platform. However, that is not the case in Pennsylvania, and geolocation technology will explicitly block you from any legal online sports betting service (including Betway PA) while you’re at a PA casino.

Betway Sportsbook PA deposit options

There are several ways to make a banking deposit or withdrawal at Betway. Here they are, in no particular order:

Major Credit Cards (Visa/Mastercard): Use your Visa or Mastercard to deposit instantaneously to your Betway Sportsbook account. To make a real money deposit using this method, you will need to provide your complete card number, expiration date (month/year), along with the security code located on the back of the physical card (located to the right of the signature area). 

PayPal: This online wallet has become one of the most popular ways to make real money deposits onto legal sportsbooks in Pennsylvania. Once your banking account has been verified by PayPal (a separate process from Betway PA’s validation), you can then use your online wallet account to safely transfer funds and make legal real money wagers while being physically located in Pennsylvania.

Play+: This physical card is mailed to the address that a customer uses upon registering a verified account with Betway Pennsylvania. You can use your online account for both deposits and withdrawals and then use the physical card anywhere Discover is accepted. Your Play+ card can be used to transfer funds from your card onto Betway in a matter of minutes — safely and securely. Note that if you already have a Play+ card with another company, you will still need to apply separately for Betway Sportsbook PA’s Play+ card, and use that specific card to transact with the legal online sportsbook.

PayNearMe: Betway Sportsbook PA customers can select this option to receive a unique bar code generated from the online service. At that point, simply scan or print out the bar code slip and take it to the closest participating land-based retailer (typically a 7-Eleven, Walgreens, or CVS) to make the corresponding payment. Once the payment has been received at the participating location, funds will generally be reflected in your account within 15 minutes.

VIP Preferred e-Check: This system represents a great way to link your bank account to make real money deposits onto Betway Sportsbook in Pennsylvania. Once you have been verified, transactions typically take between 1-2 minutes to complete.

Cashing out from Betway PA

Are you on a winning streak? Or need to perform a withdrawal from your Betway PA account? There are a few easy ways to do this.

First, your verified PayPal online wallet can receive funds from Betway PA under certain circumstances, although the customer will need to allow for 48-72 hours of approval time from Betway’s security department, followed by an additional approval time that the online wallet takes to process the transaction. Plus, you will need to have successfully deposited with PayPal before you can withdraw with it. Once these checks are out of the way, it’s a really quick and painless process.

Your physical Play+ card (only the one specifically issued to you through Betway Sportsbook PA) can be used to receive funds from your verified account. Please allow 3-5 days for withdrawals to be approved and appear on your Play+ card’s balance.

At this time, there is no way to receive withdrawals to major credit cards. Visas and Mastercard can only be used for deposits when patronizing Betway Sportsbook in Pennsylvania.

Betway Sportsbook Responsible Gaming

Betway Sportsbook PA has a dedicated “Player Protection” page for responsible gaming information that can be accessed by customers 24 hours a day. The page provides tips for responsible gaming as well as links to several resources for customers who wish to enact deposit limits (or time limits), self-exclude their accounts, or consult with a professional, 

Two of the most popular resources that Pennsylvania problem gamblers consult are:

• National Council on Problem Gambling 1-800-522-4700
• Council on Compulsive Gambling Pennsylvania: 1-800-GAMBLER

Betway Sportsbook PA summary

Betway offers one of the cleanest customer interfaces in the business and provides adequate clients for both desktop and mobile users (although there is a bit of “freezing” that occurs on the mobile app). The Pennsylvania online sportsbook’s dark background and light text font make the information that is displayed easy to read and understand — regardless of whether you are making real money wagers, price checking, or reading the site’s Frequently Asked Questions.

Betway PA offers betting options on all the popular sports, as well as more obscure events, and a large number of wager types to keep customers entertained and in the middle of the action at all times. Real money deposits can be made via many popular methods, but withdrawals are typically limited to PayPal and the Play+ card — and the withdrawals can take a little time to set up at first.

For customer service, Betway Sportsbook has dedicated email addresses that can be used to contact support 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. In addition, you can call or chat online with customer support agents any time, day or night.
