• Get Paid Out Early as a Winner

Back a team to win and if your team leads by 14 points Betway will pay you out as a winner, even if your selection goes on to draw or lose.

This is a new offer format we haven’t seen from Betway before, so it will be interesting to see how many times this pays out.

• Extra Winnings If Your First Try Scorer Gets a Second

This is an offer Betfred has throughout the year and is available for the World Cup.

If your player scores the first try of the match and then goes on to score another, Betfred will double your first try scorer price.
