Understand betting before you ever place a bet.
New Online Betting Sites explains how sports betting works in everyday language, with free tools to read odds and spot the bookmaker’s margin. Betting is paid entertainment that most people lose money on over time. It is never a way to make an income.
Betway
Betway Sports
Advertisement · affiliate linkBetway offers a welcome promotion to new sports customers. Offer details are set by Betway and can change, so check the current terms on their site before you decide.
- Who can join
- New customers aged 18 or over in the UK.
- Licence
- Betway Limited is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission (licence no. 39372). Check the public register.
- Safer gambling tools
- Operators licensed in Great Britain must offer tools such as deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. Look for them in your account settings.
We feature one partner. This is not a comparison of all operators, and we make no claim that Betway is the best choice for you. A welcome offer is a marketing incentive, not a reason to bet.

About Us
New Online Betting Sites is operated by Afflatus Online Solutions KFT (company registration number 01-09-372582, registered in Hungary). It is an independent information website about sports betting. We are online gaming enthusiasts who believe people should understand what a price, a margin and a welcome offer really mean before they decide anything.
We are not a bookmaker and we do not accept bets or hold customer money. We are an advertising affiliate: when you follow one of our links and sign up with the operator, we may be paid a commission. Read how we make money.
We only promote operators that hold a licence from the UK Gambling Commission, and we show the licence number so you can check it yourself on the public register. We do not target people under 18, and we aim to follow the UK Advertising Codes (CAP Code) and the guidance of the Advertising Standards Authority.
Our editorial standards
- We never describe betting as a way to earn money or solve money problems.
- We do not call offers “free” or “risk-free” if you must risk your own money to get them.
- We state important conditions next to any offer and link to the operator’s full terms.
- We correct errors quickly. Tell us at info@afflatus.solutions.
Contact Us
Email info@afflatus.solutions or use the form, which opens your own email app with the message ready to send. Nothing is sent from this page. We cannot help with account, deposit or withdrawal problems; those must go to the operator. If you need to complain about a betting operator you can use its complaints process and then an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) service named on its site.

Affiliate Disclosure: how we make money
If you click a link to Betway and open an account, Betway may pay us. It costs you nothing extra, but it means we have a financial interest in you signing up. Because of this, our featured partner is an advertisement, and we label it clearly.
The commission does not change the offer you receive. Our educational content, including the odds tools and guides, is written to be accurate whether or not you ever use a partner link.
We only feature operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. We are not an operator and do not hold a gambling licence because we do not provide gambling. Operators are responsible for their offers, terms and customer protection.
