Betfair Casino Review

Betfair has always been known for the Betfair Betting Exchange or Betfair Poker, but now its new offer, the Betfair Casino, is also making a name for itself. The new innovation Betfair has to offer is two gaming "lounges" – the main lounge with more than 50 casino games and the Zero Lounge where the four games inside (roulette with no zero, blackjack, baccarat, and jacks or better video poker) have absolutely zero house edge.

Zero Software to Download

The layout is up to Betfair’s standards - it is navigable, uncluttered, and fairly easy on the eyes. Games in the Betfair Casino are played in a pop-up browser window so you don’t have to download and install any software. All you need is an account if you’re playing with stakes. Otherwise, the games can be played for free without having to register. Players with existing sports or poker accounts with Betfair do not have to bother registering and can log in at Betfair Casino.

The main lounge has more than 50 games including baccarat, poker, blackjack, roulette, craps, 3 and 5 reels slots, and almost all of your other favorite games – card games, table games and even video games. The Zero Lounge, on the other hand, has four games to choose from – blackjack, roulette with no zero, baccarat, and jacks or better video poker. Aside from a wider choice of games, the main lounge has higher maximum stake sizes than the Zero lounge.

Generous sign-up Bonus

Betfair offers a £50 cashable sign-up bonus which is credited when you deposit your first £50. It has a relatively low wagering requirement of only 25 times the bonus amount. Note that you cannot play in the Zero Lounge using bonus money. In addition, you accrue "Betfair points" while playing all games in the Main Lounge, which are Betafir's name for comp points.

Support and banking

As expected of a company the size of Betfair, the casino provides first class 24/7 customer support via email and phone. Unfortunately a live chat option is not present. There are a multitude of money transfer options available, including many localised services that are specific to the country you live in. In short, you should have no problems getting you money into and out of the Betfair system.

Overall

Betfair Casino is a solid offering backed by a financially successful and professionally managed company. Recommended.
