0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Betway Limited operates a comprehensive online gambling platform offering sports betting, casino games, live casino, vegas, and esports betting. The company is well-established, founded in 2002, and holds a Malta Gaming Authority license, positioning it as a reputable player in the regulated online gambling market. The website features professional design, clear navigation, and is optimized for mobile devices, providing a seamless user experience for its adult audience. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including React and Next.js, supported by Cloudflare hosting and extensive use of third-party marketing and analytics tools. Security measures such as HTTPS, security headers, and domain transfer prohibitions are in place, although DNSSEC is not enabled. Privacy compliance is robust with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly available. Overall, Betway demonstrates a strong security posture and business credibility with room for minor improvements in transparency and DNS security.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Betway holds a strong market position as a global online gambling brand with official partnerships with major sports teams such as Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Atlético de Madrid. Its business model focuses on providing diverse gambling services to adult customers worldwide, supported by a comprehensive affiliate program and multiple payment options. The company benefits from regulatory compliance and certifications that enhance trust. Growth is supported by strategic sponsorships and a broad service offering. The partnership ecosystem includes payment providers and affiliate networks, reinforcing its market reach and operational robustness.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and domain transfer restrictions. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site uses cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of a published security.txt or explicit incident response contacts limits transparency in vulnerability management. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security measures are strong but could be enhanced with improved disclosure and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider publishing Data Protection Officer contact details to enhance GDPR transparency.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies for security risks.

Performance is optimized with preloading and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require continuous security monitoring.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
