Betway is continuing to promote its casino welcome offer to UK players. The promotion focuses on free spins rather than the complex wagering-based bonuses we’re used to. To start the new year off with a bang this January, newly registered customers can unlock up to 150 free spins across a small selection of titles when they deposit and stake £10 on casino games. We note the promotion carries no wagering requirement on free spins winnings, placing it among the simpler UK casino offers currently available
Betway is promoting a UK casino welcome offer into January 2026, featuring free spins across a selected range of games.
