Introducing bwin
Bwin is an Austrian betting company founded in 1997 and is currently one of the most successful global betting platforms, boasting 25 million members across over 25 betting markets .
bwin started its online betting business in 1998 under the name ‘betandwin’ and moved its headquarters to Gibraltar in 2001 to expand into Europe, where it took on the current name bwin.
Bewin, which also began operating an online casino in the same year, continued to grow rapidly, acquiring and merging with several gaming companies, and in 2016 was acquired by GVC Holdings (now Entain plc), an international sports betting and gambling company based in the Isle of Man, a British territory.
GVC Holdings is a very large company, currently listed on the London Stock Exchange under the name Entain, and is the company that acquired William Hill , the first bookmaker I’ve reviewed , and SportingBet, the UK’s leading bookmaker.
License
Since being acquired by Entain, Bewin has effectively become the UK’s leading betting company, having obtained a license from the UK Gambling Commission to operate remote betting and an online casino.
In addition, we have received approval from many authorities to operate a betting platform across Europe, including the Malta Gaming Authority ‘s B2C gaming license and the Curaçao International Gaming License, and have operated the platform without any issues for over 20 years.
Sponsorship
Even if you are not a betting enthusiast, there is no one who does not know about bwin if you like soccer .
From the 2000s to the late 2010s, bwin increased its recognition by sponsoring many prestigious clubs, including AC Milan, a former Serie A powerhouse, Real Madrid, where Ronaldo played, and Valencia, where Lee Kang-in, a former South Korean rookie, played.
In addition, the company has formed partnerships with prestigious teams recognized by all overseas soccer fans, such as Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Serie A’s Juventus, and the resulting marketing has been a huge success.
Currently, bwin is sponsoring the Belgian league and acting as an official partner (sponsor) of UEFA-sponsored competitions such as the Europa League and Europa Conference League, demonstrating its significant scale .
Supported languages
The languages (countries) supported by bwin on its website are as follows:
- english
- Europe – Polish, German, Magyar (Hungarian), French, Spanish
- South America – Spanish (South America), Portuguese (Brazil)
Since bwin has not launched domestically and currently only supports the European and South American betting markets, it can be said that there are no Asian languages.
How to sign up for bwin
Since Biwin does not support deposits in Korean Won, even if you access the website and go through the membership registration process, you will inevitably be blocked.
In fact, when accessing Bewin with a domestic IP , a message appears saying that deposits and game play, excluding withdrawals, are not possible because the service is not supported in that country .

bwin deposit and withdrawal methods
The reason why it is difficult to place bets on Bwin is because even after completing the membership registration, you must go through an ID verification process to make deposits and withdrawals.
While verification can be done with a driver’s license, international passport, or resident registration card, the key question is whether Bewin, which does not operate a betting business in Asia, will accept such identification.
First, let’s take a look at the bwin site rules to see what deposit and withdrawal options are available on the platform.
Deposit method
The deposit methods provided by Bwin are as follows:
- Bank Transfer
- Aircash Pay : Minimum deposit – 1 euro, maximum deposit – 1,000 euros
- Google Pay : Minimum deposit – 1 euro, maximum deposit – 1,000 euros
- Neteller
- Skrill
- Cards (Cards, Amex, MasterCard, etc.)
- Easy payment (Paypal, ePay, etc.)
At first glance, there are around 28 different deposit options available, allowing players to top up their betting funds using any of the available deposit methods.
Except for Air Cash Pay and Google Pay, which have minimum/maximum deposit limits listed above, the maximum amount you can deposit per day is 2,000 euros (approximately 3 million won) regardless of the deposit method.
This is because bwin is headquartered and operates in the UK and is strictly regulated by the UK Gambling Commission .
That’s why, even when completing membership registration, Better must set a limit on the amount of money he or she can deposit per month to prevent addiction.
For more deposit methods and detailed information, please refer to the FAQ on the bwin website .
Withdrawal Method
The withdrawal methods and limits provided by Bwin are as follows:
- Bank Transfer : Minimum withdrawal – $10, Maximum withdrawal – $2 million
- E-wallets (Neteller, Skrill, etc.)
NETELLER : Minimum withdrawal – $10, maximum withdrawal – $50,000
Skrill : Minimum withdrawal – $10, maximum withdrawal – $10,000
- Card (VISA, Mastercard, etc.) – Withdrawals only available in some countries
In the case of bwin, since all the countries where the agency has offices are places where online betting is legal, the withdrawal limits are usually quite high and there are no withdrawal fees.
For more detailed information on withdrawal options and limits, please refer to the fag on the bwin website .

bwin Casino
While bwin’s online casino operations are somewhat shorter than the history of sports betting, they still span over 20 years, and they boast proprietary games and tables, setting them apart from other overseas betting sites in terms of capital and scale.
While live casinos also have channels provided through contracts with famous gaming companies, they also have their own studio and real-time broadcasting technology, and they also have a live casino channel named after themselves, ‘bwin’ .
bwin user reviews
Due to physical limitations, I was unable to create a bwin account myself, but I was fortunate enough to have an acquaintance living in the UK lend me an account for a day or so.
Although this is a short review after using it for a day or two, I will try my best to leave a review that reflects my feelings so that it can be helpful information.
merit
1. Overwhelming volume
What I felt while looking around bwin was that, as expected from a major company with a lot of capital, no matter what game I played, I could feel the overwhelming volume .
Since I borrowed an acquaintance’s account, I played a few light casino games rather than time-consuming sports betting. The quality of the live casino broadcast using the company’s own studio was excellent.
Platforms of this size usually don’t put much effort into marketing, so they can be weak in the promotional sector. However, after looking around, I found that the bonuses and events at the casino were quite decent and meaningful.
2. Excellent stability and UI
On PC it was just okay, but when betting using a mobile phone, the experience was very pleasant.
Perhaps because it has been in operation for a long time, navigation within the site is very stable , and the user interface is particularly intuitive and easy to understand, making it very convenient for sports betting.
Also, since Bewin is well-received for its excellent security aspects, I felt like I could trust the site for the first time in a long time.
disadvantage
In the end, what I felt was the language issue caused by domestic service X
Naturally, since it is an overseas betting site that has not yet launched in Korea, some users thought that they might encounter a language barrier .
In fact, analyzing and betting itself is not that difficult, but when you have to find out about deposits and withdrawals or other betting rules, it can be quite complicated and difficult to understand .
In other communities and betting forums, people complain about the payouts and customer service, but I have not used it properly, so I ask for your understanding in not being able to clearly point out any such shortcomings.
Overall Review
Of all the betting platforms I’ve reviewed so far, this one is the largest and has the longest history, so although it was a short review, I was quite satisfied with it .
I’m not sure if bwin will ever launch its services in the Asian betting market, but if they do, I’ll end this post by saying that there are plenty of merits to be had here, at least compared to the casino.
