Review of Betfred Casino

Betfred Casino has an interesting thing going for it. Founded by Fred Done in 1967 as a betting shop in Salford, England, the gambling giant places a large focus on promotions and good payouts. As one of the larger gambling brands in Europe, you would expect BetFred's online casino to be exceptional in almost every way. So how does it stack up?

Software and Games

Betfred Casino operates using Playtech software that can either be downloaded and installed onto your PC, or played directly in your web browser via the "Instant Casino" section on the website. Graphics on the games are crisp and the sounds are rich and full of pop. The games at BetFred carry several well known brands. Among the favourites are King Kong, Dirty Dancing, Robocop, Top Gun, and The Matrix, along with a big range of DC Comics themed games such as Superman, 1960s TV era Batman, Green Lantern, and the Justice League. Other games available on the BetFred site include the traditional table and card games as well as bingo and lottery games.

In addition, the software offers a selection of live action games which offer a video feed from the tables of a specialised live dealer studio. Live Roulette, Blackjack, Casino Hold'em, and Baccarat are offered here, with multiple camera angles to view the action, along with an "augmented reality" view where your virtual chips are overlaid on the felt itself.

Progressive jackpots also reign supreme at BetFred, with several games tallying up by the second, with games like Batman vs Superman and Beach Life ready to make players instantly wealthy. See below for a list of current jackpot values.

If that isn't enough, Betfred also has a separate "Games" tab on their website that features another selection of "instant play" games from various suppliers. There are quite a few well known names to be found there too. You could try your luck at Deal or No Deal, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, The X Factor or Alice's Wonderland among many others.

Customer Service, Banking and Security

Customer service at Betfred is excellent, as you would expect from a reputable company. There are several options that players can use should an issue arise, such as live chat, email, and telephone. Every transaction that is processed by Betfred is encrypted, ensuring that player information stays confidential.

Betfred's online casino is licensed in Gibraltar, which means that it is obligated to adhere to the jurisdiction's licensing requirements. The gaming software is regularly audited to ensure fair play for gamblers with audit results posted regularly on the Betfred website.

Betfred Casino offers several banking options for players. Multiple different currencies are accepted and there are many different ways for you to deposit and withdraw your funds. One major positive in our view is that Betfred does not enforce any withdrawal limits, particularly on progressive wins which are so often restricted to less than £10,000 a month at other Playtech casinos.

If there is a negative on the banking side it is most definitely the categorisation of Betfred's protection of player funds that are deposited at the casino. The UKGC has a three tier rating scale and Betfred unfortunately comes in at the bottom of that scale with what the UKGC terms as basic segregation. Our reading of the criteria for categorisation leads us to interpret that as effectively no protection at all. Should the company become insolvent, your deposited funds could be claimed by other creditors to pay off the casino's debts.

Summary

Being billed as one of the larger casino groups in Europe definitely sets the bar high in terms of player expectations, and we are happy to report that Betfred Casino comes through in most ways. This top tier site offers a stable, fun environment in which you can play a great variety of colourful games. Add to that a sports betting site, poker, and other games and you have a one-stop shop that can meet all your online gambling needs. Highly recommended.

As I know, Betfred had some changes in their policy, so they only accept players from very small number of countries. The website is not accessible, and my account seems to be closed too.

I join with them 4 years ago. They have good customer services , good payment methode,not difficult for verivying account, document always accepted, standart for make withdrawal,2-3 days for process, but i never receive surprise bonus, only make deposit and get bonus match deposit, with high playtrhrough, its not impossible if i always unlucky,so i must leave them,

yes I think they have no plan to accept players from Indonesia, maybe because it has a lot to say about the problem of gambling in Indonesia is strictly prohibited, because if indeed they still provide for indonesian people they will provide an alternative link to be accessed, as well as their brothers are betfair, but I think bet365 is more than enough to replace them,

One of the biggest online casinos in the world BetFred is a very famous name in this industry and is known for their fair play and security of players. They have been powered by the Playtech software which also is one of the best in the world. They also have a very famous sports book and through that only I came to know about them.

I had gotten a very nice 100% welcome bonus when I joined this casino but that is for only when you make a deposit on their casino for the very first time. Playtech casinos have very nice reputation and I did not have to think once before joining this casino site. I played with so many online casinos, never once I found any customer support can do nothing about the bonus, in fact, most of them has the "power" to do something about it (at least they can ask the manager about it). It really seems that the customer support did not show any effort to help me out while he knew I was a new customer. Very disappointing.

I must admit that during my playing in the Betfred Casino had a pretty positive experience. It is natural that each player based on their experience draws comparisons with other casinos that offer games from the same suppliers. I can confirm that they are the real representatives of the entertainment and opportunities for big gains. Maybe their pages too simple for my standards, but this lack of originality happen for the simple reason that in the world of online gambling generally seen almost everything and it is difficult to be particularly original. Available to play you a lot of popular games for you created by Playtech. For the past 10 years how they do business on the Internet, so I made the deposit of minimum € 10 to over € 100 per deposit.

I want to tell you honestly and without hesitation, all you have to do is open a Betfred account and purchase casino chips, and Betfred will pokloniniti welcome bonus in the amount of £ 200. Bonus realized in three steps, with the first purchase you are entitled to a bonus of 100% up to a maximum of £ 100. Minimum purchase of chips is £ 5. To make a payment, deposit and bonus must invest 40 times with those that do not count all the games with 100% invested amount. Besides this, there is also a high-roller bonus, which you get by paying more than £ 1,000 to get that extra £ 500 bonus. I took advantage of this bonus up to a maximum, and after completing the WR of 40X I paid € 650 into your Neteller account. Thank you Betfred Casino !!!

Betfred casino is good, reputable, and i have nothing bad to say about this casino, but just it is not very popular slot for me because i preffer netent games, or at least microgaming sofwtare, and i did not play many times in casinos that did not have slots from softwares which i am mentioned above. But does not think anything bad about betfred, my experience in this casino is awesome, i played couple of times, and i am very happy with what i have receieved in this casino. Live chat agents very friendly and good, bonuses is good and well made, because there is not such bonuses like at other playtech casinos, which can not be withdrawn even after you make wagering requirements. Withdrawals was paid to my skrill account usually within 24 hours, i did not have too much withdrawals, but 3-4 was paid faster than 24 hours ends, and of course it is good. Can't say anything bad about this casino, if only i did not like not very good selection of games, no netent and microgaming it is boring for me. Probably will play at this casino couple more times, but will not do this often.

That must be Betfred's IP detection not distinguishing between NZ and Australia. I bet you just love being seen as the 9th territory of Australia! 😉

Whenever an overseas bookie applies for a sports betting license in Australia they stop accepting local customers in their casino as its against the law for them to. Betfair and Bet365 did the same a few years ago. Sometimes you can get around it by trying different URLs or subdomains like casino.betfred.com (although that one is not working for me).

Betfred casino is very reputable and really high rated online casino on many affiliate websites. I never saw this casino in some kind of rogue list, and never saw low rating for it. I will start from pluses for this casino, like always.
+ Good software. There is not so many software to choose, instant play casino have IGT and PT games, and download casino have only PT games. But games works fine without any problems, so i count it as a plus for this casino.
+ Promotions and bonuses. There is a lot of different bonuses and promos, including usual cashback offers and deposit match offers, it is not big, like 10% for cashback and up to 30$ for deposit bonus, but it comes often, and you can claim it many times during month.
+ Withdrawals. Sometimes it took a bit longer than 24 hours, but most times withdrawals paid much faster. Of course i am saying about ewallets, because for cards and wire's this time will be much more, like at any other casino. KYC pass also was very easy.
But i have one minus for this online casino.
- CS. Support is not very great here, and i am can easy list this as a minus. Live chat answer's is a bit slow, and also sometimes strange, and it is hard to get answer.
Final mark:
Safe, reputable, good, but not perfect.

Betfred casino was probably my favorite playtech online casino i play it a lot in past and have only good and positive things about this casino. Live support here is outstanding and works 24/7 because every time in different time of the day i was need to ask them something they always was online and ready to help me and this is of course very good for casino because live chat is much more better than phone support or email support. All games works very good and without lag and also i was very happy that i was able to download casino on my personal computer. I have more than 10 payouts from this casino and every payout was processed faster that 24 hours and also verify take only about 12 hours or so i just give casino my pasport and utility bill that no older than 3 months. Casino usually give me good bonuses and also i was some kind of vip player and have better conversion rates for comp points i like when casino rewards me just for playing games and having fun. I am really miss this casino and it is sad that i can not enjoy it one more time because i am moved to country that not allowed at this casino.

Hi, i hope you will enjoy my review of betfred casino. I play at this casino only few times, and you know why - did not like this software much.
Software: Playtech, instant play or download, how you like, i preffer to choose instant play, because hate to see a lot of casinos on my dekstop. Betfred also offers poker client, but i never try it because i did not play cards games, but i am sure belaff play it, if you interesting you can ask him did they good in poker.
Support: Will not speak with them, not in live chat, not with email, just because was not needed. I made only two deposits in this casino, and both lost, so no reasons to speak with customer support.
Promotions: On my first deposit i was offered 100% bonus, CL had 150%, it is of course better... All other promotions are not unique and nothing interesting, so i will not even describe them.
Withdrawals: Hm, did not withdraw from this casino, so i will not tell you anything about this. Other people tell me that they good and do not cheat, and i do not see a reasons to say that they did not withdraw.

Hello. Betfred casino was tryied by me only after i try their poker. In past i preffer poker, not casinos , and betfred was the place which i also use to play. After trying casino i am still have positive experience with them, only one bad thing is that they withdraw my money almost 72 hours every time, i understand that there is not so many playtech casino who withdraw faster, but anyway its not fast as i want to see. Also support is not so fast, sometimes it tooks more than 24 hours , which is also not very good. But at total i cant say that anything bad about them at all, just average casino with average withdrawals and support. I am pretty sure that they can become much more better, there are still many improvements that can be made.
Support: They nice and friendly, but a bit slow. They can reply to customer inquires much more faster, i believe. Probably understaffed or something like this.
Withdrawals: Around 72 hours not the best result ever, but for playtech casino is average time i believe, so cant really complaint.
Software: Cant complain to software too, with this thing they have doing and with no problem.
I give betfred casino only 3 stars, because i do not see anything that made them better with most of other playtech casinos.

Betfred no longer accepts players from Australia.

Quote:

We'd like to inform you that, as of Tuesday 13th August, Betfred will no longer accept Australian registrations. This is to comply with regulations as dictated by the Australian regulator.

Betfred is already underway with plans to launch a website in Australia soon, meaning that they can target Australian players better than ever.

For casino players that last statement means nothing as we have seen with companies like Bet365, Betfair and other non-Australian bookmakers that when they gain an Australian license they are only allowed to accept Australian bets on sports.

Once again a casino not honouring the casinolistings exclusive offer of 150% bonus (only if it was an exceptional deposit), finally settled on the 100%, have been trying for nearly 2 hours to deposit to a casino that honours the bonus and it did not accept my card & currency combination (australian). Getting very fustrated, seems no one wants my money!

Wow that is a very serious allegation honesty. Let me get this straight - you had the winning number on a spin and did not get paid, then the game displayed another number than the one that was spun in the history of previous spins? Is that right? Honestly I find that very hard to believe but I guess its not impossible that there was some kind of bug or malfunction.

If you have proof of what you say then please feel free to send it to me and I can help you get in touch with the Gibraltar regulatory authority who should take any such complaints seriously. You can PM me using the link under my name to the left.

My personal experience of betfred is poor, they have terrible customer services. I played roulette 3 weeks ago, i had the winning number but their software changed the result in history so i ended up on a loser. I contacted them straight away and they've fobbed me off consistently for the duration. I would avoid betfred like the plague,dont use them. Fair gaming-i dont think so.

My father used to put a tenner on Chelsea almost every week at a Betfred shop near where we grew up. Sadly Chelsea were rubbish then and he didn't win a lot! They are a trustworthy company in my eyes and I have never had any problems getting paid when withdrawing from the casino or the online bookie.
