About Bwin Status & Downtime

Bwin is a major European betting brand and former sponsor of top football leagues, serving millions of users across the UK and beyond. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Vienna, it offers sports betting, casino, poker, and virtual sports. Bwin holds UKGC licence #39435.

Why is Bwin down?

Bwin outages typically occur during high-demand periods such as Champions League nights, La Liga fixtures, or major European football events. The platform may also go down briefly for scheduled maintenance, usually during off-peak hours between 2am and 6am GMT.

Bwin status monitor — a downdetector alternative for betting

Unlike general-purpose tools such as Downdetector, IsBetDown is built specifically for online betting. We monitor bwin.com from multiple server locations every 30 seconds, providing faster and more accurate status updates tailored to punters. We also check whether the issue is on Bwin's side or caused by wider infrastructure problems (Cloudflare, AWS, Akamai), giving you the full picture in seconds.

What should I do if I've placed a bet and Bwin goes down?

If you have placed a bet before an outage, there is generally no need to worry. Your bet is recorded on Bwin's servers and will be settled as normal once the service is restored. Under UKGC regulations, licensed operators must honour all confirmed bets regardless of technical issues.

However, if you were in the middle of placing a bet or using a cash-out feature when the site went down, the transaction may not have completed. In that case, check your bet history once Bwin is back online. If there is any discrepancy, contact Bwin's customer support and reference your bet slip or confirmation number.

Can I still cash out my bet if Bwin is down?

Unfortunately, no. Cash-out requires a live connection to Bwin's servers to calculate and process the current offer. During an outage, this feature is unavailable. If you are concerned about a live bet, note the current score and odds — once the site is restored, cash-out will become available again (provided the event is still in play).

Is Bwin down just for me?

Sometimes what appears to be a Bwin outage might be a local issue. If our monitor shows Bwin as operational but you cannot access it, try these steps: clear your browser cache, switch to a different browser or device, try disabling your VPN (some bookmakers block VPN traffic), check your internet connection, or try accessing bwin.com from mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.

How long do Bwin outages usually last?

Most Bwin outages are resolved within 15 to 30 minutes. Scheduled maintenance windows are typically brief. However, during major incidents (DNS failures, CDN outages affecting multiple sites), downtime can extend to several hours. We display real-time infrastructure status above so you can see if the problem is wider than just Bwin.
