In October 2015, an ex-British Army soldier got to live a dream that we’ve all had at one point. And I don’t mean the one where all your teeth fall out and crumble in your hands like stale Tic Tacs. 

He won the Mega Moolah jackpot, and in doing so, he smashed the record for the largest-ever win on an online slot. He wagered just £0.25 on a single spin, and he walked away with a prize worth over £13 million.

Why’s this relevant, you ask? Well, Betway was the site where he placed his lucky spin, so if you’re looking for an incentive, you can’t get much better than that.

In the following Betway Vegas review, I’ll see what this site has to offer beyond its record-breaking history.

Welcome Offer

The Betway website has several sections, with unique games and bonuses on all of them. Most of these offers are exclusive to that particular section, so if you get bonus credits on one section they might not be available on another.

It also means that if you collect a welcome bonus from the sportsbook or casino, you’ll likely be excluded from the Betway Vegas welcome bonus.

When you first join Betway, you’ll be given a choice of welcome bonuses from each section of the site. Right now, Betway Vegas is offering 125 Free Spins on Big Bass Bonanza.

It applies to your first deposit only. The minimum deposit is £10 and you have 7 days to claim after signing up and depositing.

Also, you will only qualify if you deposit using a debit card. PayPal is available on Betway Vegas but using it for your first deposit will exclude you from the bonus.

There are no wagering requirements attached to the Free Spins.

Betway does a very good job of keeping players interested with regular promotions and offers. There are reload promotions, free spins, and a loyalty program. You can also hop over to the sportsbook to collect free bets via the Free Bet Club or try your hand at real money live casino tournaments.

Games Available at Betway Vegas

Betway Vegas is all about slot machines, and there is no shortage of these on offer. The games are provided by a plethora of top developers, including Big Time Gaming, Blueprint Gaming, and Microgaming. 

There are a few decent categories along the top—including Penny Games, Megaways, and Jackpots—and there are also Drops and Wins and a small selection of table games.

For something a little different, click on the Instant Win section, where you’ll find a small but interesting selection of instant win titles. These are basically virtual scratch cards crossed with virtual sports. They’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you tire of seeing the same old slots every time you log in, it’s a good option to have.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, try the other sections of the Betway site. These are often labelled and advertised as separate entities, and that’s why you’ll find separate reviews on them (including on this site). But you only need one account to access all of them and you’re always just a click away.

There’s a Live Casino section with games from Playtech and Pragmatic Play Live and a Casino section with more slots, as well as Slingo games and table games. 

I’m not entirely sure why Betway Vegas and Betway Casino are listed under different sections as they are pretty much the same, but there are some differences with the games and bonuses. I’m not convinced those differences are enough to warrant separate sections, but clicking between one and the other is easy so I’m not complaining.

Depositing and Withdrawing

I have yet to encounter an issue when depositing or withdrawing from Betway. My winnings are processed quickly and it also accepts PayPal, which is a welcome sight. Other accepted payment methods include Neteller, Trustly, Rapid Transfer, and Direct Bank Transfer. You can also use debit cards.

The only issue I have with this aspect of the site is that you can’t use web wallets to collect the welcome bonus. It’s a term you’ll find on many other online casinos and sportsbooks, so, it’s definitely not exclusive to Betway, but it’s still annoying.

Betway Review Summary

I have personally used Betway for over 5 years. I have dabbled in the sportsbook and the casino. I actually placed a few bets on the day I’m writing this review, but the less said about that the better.

Betway Vegas is a small part of the Betway experience, but it’s one that you’ll find yourself visiting time and time again. There are plenty of reasons to single out this part of the site and visit frequently. The bonuses are solid, the layout is clean, and if you like Microgaming slots, you’ll fit right in.

I would have liked to see a wider selection of slots, with some more Playtech and other providers thrown in, but that’s nit-picking and there’s a lot to like here.
