Trustpilot Positive I'm truly puzzled by the amount of negative reviews, when honestly I've experienced nothing but good! First off, you get paid out within an hour or two, they give a lot back to the players — weekend Casino Club, daily free bets or spins — AND their customer service reps actually respond and help! I would rate Betway as one of, if not THE BEST all-around casino apps in Canada.

Trustpilot players accuse the casino of unfair game outcomes; 170 AG complaints.
