Betway

History and Ownership

Betway was founded in 2006 as a British-registered online gambling company. In 2010, it was acquired by Super Group, a global iGaming operator listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The brand has since grown into a multi-product operator covering sports betting, casino, poker, and bingo. Its platform is powered by leading technology providers including NetEnt and Play’n GO for casino content.

Products and Platforms

Betway Sportsbook offers pre-match and in-play betting across thousands of markets in football, basketball, tennis, horse racing, and more. Betway Casino features online slots, table games like blackjack and roulette, live dealer games, and progressive jackpots. Betway Poker provides Texas Hold’em, Omaha, and tournaments, while Betway Bingo offers 75-ball, 90-ball, and themed rooms. The free-to-play Betway Big Pick app, available in all US states, allows users to win cash prizes without gambling. Sister brand Spin Casino focuses exclusively on online casino play.

Market Position and Licensing

Betway holds licenses in over 15 jurisdictions including the UK, Malta, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Mexico, South Africa, and multiple US states such as Colorado, Indiana, New Jersey, Iowa, Arizona, and Pennsylvania. The brand is known for its extensive sponsorship portfolio, partnering with top football clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City, as well as the National Hockey League and Formula 1 as its first official betting operator from 2026.

Regulatory History

In 2020, Betway was fined £11.6 million by the UK Gambling Commission for systemic failures in anti-money laundering and responsible gambling controls. The company has since invested in compliance, including extending its partnership with GiG’s Comply tool to monitor affiliate marketing. Betway is a member of the European Sports Security Association and the Remote Gambling Association, reflecting its commitment to responsible gambling.

Betway’s CEO is Anthony Werkman, confirmed through Wikipedia and a GiG press release. Kevin Kovarsky serves as COO and Nick Karanja as CPO, both listed on RocketReach. No public information is available for a CTO, CCO, or founder specific to Betway.
