2. Identity Checks

Such checks include requesting the Customer to submit a range of personal details to be verified electronically or provide a copy of a photographic identification documents (such as a driver's licence, a passport or a government issued identity card), in order to verify both age and identity.

The legal age for gaming online varies from country to country and so we advise that you check the rules of your jurisdiction before you play.

Any personal details we request from you are purely to verify your identity – this is a legal requirement for both your own and our protection. If you have any questions about our identity checks, please do not hesitate to contact Customer Service at any time.

Should you consider that gambling has become problematic, you also have the ability to Self-Exclude yourself from future participation at Betway and all brands managed by Cadway Limited.

The following Self-Exclusion options are available:

1 year
2 years
3 years

5 years

Upon receipt of your Self-Exclusion request, Betway will take the necessary measures to block your access across all brands managed by Cadway Limited and will contact you with a view to returning any remaining funds held in account balances less any unused bonus money. A minimum withdrawal amount of 10 USD/CAD or currency equivalent applies. Bets in play stand and payment of winnings will be made upon bet settlement. Bets placed where no event has started prior to the Self-Exclusion will be voided and stakes refunded.

As a further preventative measure, Betway recommends you consider applying the same safeguard at other gambling operators with whom you hold an account.

The account may only be considered for re-activation by Betway at your own request and may only come into effect after a further 24-hour cooling-off period has been instituted.
