Betting types
Please see the explanation for betting types in the rules page.
| Correct | For Correct Score betting, predict the actual scoreline after regulation 90 minutes play (e.g Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 2). |
| First Scorer | For first scorer betting, predict the first player to score in the match within regulation 90 minutes play. |
| Half-Time/Full-Time | For Half Time/Full Time betting, predict the outcome at half-time and at the end of regulation 90 minutes play (e.g half-time Draw, full-time Home Team). |
| Half Time Result | Select the match status at half time (ie Home Team winning,). |
| Handicap Betting | Handicap betting offers you the opportunity to bet on the outcome of an event where one team has been given a goals or points start. Bets are settled on the outcome after adjusting for the handicaps. |
| Scorecast | For Scorecast betting, predict the first player to score and the correct score in the match within regulation 90 minutes play. To win, both parts of the bet must be correct. |
| To win or draw | Choose the player or team to win or draw a match. |
| Asian Line betting (Asian Handicap) | Asian Line betting is the most popular way of betting on football in the Far East. It offers great value to the bettor and is potentially less risky than traditional “Win-Draw-Win” style betting. You must either select the favoured team to overcome a handicap (framed in goals) or oppose the favourite with the handicap. Take time to understand Asian Line betting from BETWAY. An Asian line is made up of two components, the Handicap Line and the Money Line. |
| The Handicap Line | The Handicap Line is the terms of the bet – framed around the relative strengths of the two competing sides – always expressed in terms of goal superiority. For two equally matched teams – i.e. joint favourites to win – the line will be described as ‘level’. To win on the basis of this handicap, you must simply pick the team that scores the most goals. If the match is a draw, the stakes are returned to you. For unequal contests, the superior team will be given a handicap (goals). In Asian betting, goal handicaps are known as ‘balls’. |
| Goal/No Goal | For the Goal/No Goal Market, “Goal” is for both teams to score, “No Goal” is for either or both teams not to score. |
| Bookings | This bet involves choosing whether the overall booking points in the match are under, between or over a specific middle band. Points are allocated as follows: 10 points are awarded for a yellow card, 25 points are awarded for a red card. The highest make-up for any player is 35 points in the match (2 yellows and therefore a red). The bookings of players not taking part in the game and bookings of managing staff do not count for the purposes of this bet. Any bookings/sending off after the final whistle do not count for betting purposes. |
| Shirt Numbers | This bet involves choosing whether the total shirt numbers of goalscorers in the match are under, between or over a specific middle band. Own goals count. In the event of an unclear goalscorer, settlement will be based upon the confirmed result of the Press Association directly following the end of the match. This market counts for 90 mins (plus injury time) only |
| Total Goal Minutes | Aggregate goals Minutes. Any goal scored in injury time in the first half will be counted as 45 minutes and any goal scored in injury time in the second half will be counted as 90. Example: The market adds the time of each goal scored in a game. For example, Liverpool (2) – Arsenal (1) assuming goals were scored in the 21’, 65’ and 83’ the make-up of the total goal minutes will total 169 minutes this is then compared to the quoted spread of total goal minutes. |

Please note that the value of the freebet is decided by the currency you have on your account. (This is, however, only important if your have a currency on your account that is different from the language you have chosen or the country you are registered in – this could for example be a Belgian customer with an account in US Dollars (instead of euros))
As they represent both a free and risk-free way of betting for you, you should watch out for and be sure to use these special offers.
You can obtain and use your freebets like this:
- See the offers you have available under “My account” and “My freebets”
- Fill in the voucher code (applies ONLY if you have received one for the offer) and click “Redeem voucher” – now fulfill the conditions in order to get your freebet (sometimes entering the voucher code is enough, sometimes you need to bet on specific sports or leagues etc. in order to obtain the freebet) These conditions be found in the e-mail you received describing the offer or under “Description” when you click “My account” and “My freebets”.
- To use the freebet, select some odds and the freebet will appear on your betting slip (if the freebet can be used on this type of event) – tick the small box on the betting slip in order to use the freebet.

You need to spend a freebet completely on your betting slip and always with total odds of at least 1.70 or higher – if you are awarded a freebet of 10 GBP (for example), you will need to spend the entire amount on one bet of your choice – you can´t split the freebet into, for example, two or more bets.

(Free Bets cannot be used on Asian Handicaps)
