Betfair Casino Review

Betfair Casino draws on a combination of providers for some of its other games like those included under the Vegas and Macau tabs. However, all forms of the main casino (downloaded version, instant play, and mobile casino) are powered exclusively by Playtech.

Betfair is a great choice for anyone who loves slots, not only because those are the games you will need to play first to clear the generous Welcome Bonus, but more importantly, because the games themselves are superior. Of course, slots are just one of many different forms of gambling you can engage in at Betfair Casino. All of the other major casino games are offered, as well, including video poker, roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker, and arcade games.

The recent emphasis has been on applying the latest online and mobile technology to create highly interactive games that are not only incredibly entertaining, but almost make players forget that they are in front of a desktop, laptop or mobile device.

Special features like both slots and table games in 3D, action packed themed video slots with a progressive jackpot, like the enormously popular Marvel slots, and multiplayer table games with a live dealer, make online play more fun than ever. And a good part of what makes it so much fun is that players feel like they are in a real casino.

• Downloading the software is quick and easy. In just a few minutes, you'll feel like a kid in a candy store with the full range of more than 250 games, including about 200 slots.
• The instant play mode will give you almost as many games, but with the added convenience of being able to open them up immediately on any browser.
• It doesn’t matter where you are or what else you happen to be doing at the time. As long as you have a supported smartphone or tablet in hand you can play.

Altogether, counting the entire main casino plus the additional slot games (from WMS rather than Playtech) under the Vegas tab and the Asian games under Macau tab, there are over 250 games. This is more than enough, no matter how often you play, to find plenty of games to your liking. It's hard to imagine that you would ever run out of things to do in a casino offering such a diverse collection of interesting games.

There is a clear focus on fans of slots when it comes to Betfair Casino and Playtech but this doesn’t mean that other options of high quality are not available as well.

Joining Betfair Casino will result in a £10 no deposit bonus and a choice for the welcome bonus between £100 on all games and £1,000 on slots.

Betfair Casino gives its players a choice, depending on whether they prefer a bonus that can be used for slot play only or one that allows them to play a variety of games. A third bonus, which apparently is available in addition to, and not instead of, one of the other two, is a small bonus to encourage players to try the live dealer games.

In addition, just for signing up, all players receive a “free” no deposit required bonus of £10. But keep in mind that this bonus, just like all the others comes with substantial playthrough requirements for withdrawal. So, unless you wish to treat this bonus like play money only, a deposit will be necessary.

Register and get your £10 bonus for all new casino players. Claim the preferred bonus out of the two options to fit your personal playing style and game preferences. Bet £10 on the live casino and get another £10 for free instantly.

• Deposit at least £10 to get the new player bonus
• "All games" bonus has a wagering requirement of 45x and "Slots" bonus has one of 30x
• Some of the games don't count fully for the wagering requirement

Playtech has some of its best casino games optimized for mobile gaming and Betfair Casino has computability covered with its instant play site and native iOS app.

The Betfair Mobile Casino uses a relatively new application called HTML5, which allows anyone with virtually any web browser to access the games instantaneously, without downloading. The type of device you are using (e.g., iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, or BlackBerry) makes no difference because advanced customisable features ensure the necessary adjustments.

Betfair mobile players can choose from about 130 of the casino’s most popular slot games, including Marvel slots like The Incredible Hulk with a shared progressive jackpot, and other progressive jackpot slots like Jackpot Giant and Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven. Besides slots, several varieties of blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and video poker are also offered.

• No download needed for the online casino and the other betting sections
• Works on Android, iPhone, Windows, iPad, and other popular devices
• Includes real money progressive slots with huge jackpots

We didn’t expect anything less than perfect when it came to the banking system and Betfair did not disappoint with its fast processing times and safe transactions.

Popular deposit methods will make it very easy to make payments and the same can be said about withdrawing from Betfair Casino. It can take as little as 12 hours to receive the winnings if a web wallet is used.

Once the account is ready, the entire banking process is made very simple. The cashier will present users with the available deposit options and each of them is perfectly secure. Select one, enter an amount of at least £10 and proceed to the verification page to complete the deposit.

• Safe payments processed instantly
• Faster withdrawals than its competitors
• Option to transfer funds between betting sections

Although the customer support is not ideal at Betfair, it does stand out with its very quick response time for email and polite staff via live chat.

There is a large section dedicated to help and support on the website and players will be able to easily check out the many FAQs in search for the right answers. Of course, if the issue is more urgent or if you just prefer to talk to someone directly, there are three contact methods which can be used here for quick assistance.

Live chat is probably the best option because it is open 24/7 and it allows for a good medium of conversation when looking for solutions to a problem. The topic will have to be selected from the list before the chat can begin. It normally takes less than 30 seconds for someone to respond.

• Emails answered in less than 4 hours
• 24/7 live chat
• Phone support only available during working hours

Betfair also has a strong presence on social media so users can follow the operator on Twitter to get more details or message on Facebook for help if needed.

Betfair Casino gets high marks not only for its diverse selection of high quality games, but also, and even more importantly, for being a trustworthy site, where you know from day 1 that your money is safe and that the games are fair.

Betfair Casino is owned and operated by the Betfair Group, Ltd. and holds two separate licences, its original one from the Malta Gaming Authority and a second one from the UK Gambling Commission. Both of these organisations hold participating casinos to very high standards.

• Uses state-of-the-art SSL encryption technology
• Licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission
• Independent outside auditors periodically check the Random Number Generators

Betfair uses a strong two-step player authentication system that virtually eliminates the possibility of any unauthorised use of either your personal information or deposited funds. As for the fairness of the games, Betfair’s partnership with Playtech, a highly reliable software provider and game manufacturer that has an excellent reputation and has been in business for many years, provides excellent assurance.

UK Gambling Commission Certified

Betfair is also a casino that wants its players to gamble responsibly. The site includes some very helpful general money management advice along with a budget calculator. Players are also given the option to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits.

Betfair Casino has something special that makes players feel protected and safe, while having hundreds of great gaming options to enjoy and other betting possibilities to explore.

With everything said and done, it's easy to see why Betfair casino has millions of fans from around the world but especially from the United Kingdom. This is the main market for the operator and with its license in order and website secured, there is nothing to worry about when placing real money on the website.

Playtech does a great job at keeping things exciting for the main online casino with its rich collection of slots, table games, live dealers, video pokers, scratch cards, and other games. The same variety can be obtained on any modern mobile device thanks to the cutting-edge software.

And speaking of great performances throughout the Betfair review, we have to mention the fast withdrawal period where verified customers can get their money in just 12 hours by using PayPal, Skrill, or NETELLER. Easily one of the best Playtech casinos out there, we recommend it.
