Betway is not the oldest bookmaker in the UK, having launched in 2006, but it has almost been there since the start of online betting. As such, it is a betting site that most punters are familiar with, especially thanks to several sponsorships with famous football clubs. Not to mention that it is considered to be the best site for Esports betting.
Below, we have collected everything you need to know about Betway and depositing funds, from the payment methods accepted to the specific terms for each.

Below, we have put together a step-by-step guide for depositing funds into a Betway guide. Just to be clear, we tested the process on the Betway app.
After opening the app, select the ‘Banking’ area in the menu located at the bottom of the screen. From here, you will automatically be taken to the ‘Deposit’ section, where you can choose your payment method. We opted to go with a Visa debit card.
For first-time deposits, you need to enter your card details and billing address. However, for future deposits, the app will offer you the option of depositing with your ‘Preferred Method’. Then, select the green ‘Next’ button.
After providing your details and tapping on ‘Next’, enter your deposit amount or choose one of the pre-determined options. For this test, we deposited the minimum deposit amount of £5. Following this, tick the box at the bottom after reading the ‘Protection of Customer Funds’ section.
Tap on the ‘Deposit’ box to complete the deposit. The funds should now be in your account and you will be able to start betting.
In addition to offering a good range of payment methods, Betway has also gone out of its way to offer punters generous terms. Indeed, the minimum deposit amount is set at £5 for all methods - even PayPal - and that is great news. Especially since the same amount works to claim the welcome offer, which is a matched free bet deal on losses (not as good).
As you can see in the step-by-step guide above, Betway could do with changing the suggested deposit amounts. £22.5 seems a bit strange to have there, but of course it does not really matter as punters can enter their own amount in the box below the amounts.
In order to qualify for the welcome offer at Betway, punters must deposit funds with a debit card and this is also one of the reasons why this method is so popular. The minimum deposit amount is set at £5, just like the other methods, but a suggestion would be to add support for Apple Pay as this is more convenient.

PayPal is without a doubt the most popular e-wallet for betting, despite the competition of Skrill and more, but the terms are not always that favourable. Fortunately, Betway accepts deposits as low as £5 with the method and that is great news.

It is not always possible to deposit with Trustly on betting sites, with only seven good ones or so accepting it, and this gives Betway an edge. The minimum deposit amount is set at £5 and while you cannot claim the welcome offer with this method, some might still want to use it.

Instant Bank Transfer has not been around for that long, yet it has taken the online betting scene by storm. Of course, this is mostly related to the fast withdrawals but it can also be a good option for convenient deposits, with a minimum amount of £5.
