Betfair casino review
Betfair started out as a betting exchange back in the year 2000. Since then they have grown to become a market leader, listed on the London Stock Exchange, with a value thought to exceed £1.4 billion.
Over time Betfair grew quite rapidly and then begun providing casino, games, arcade, exchange games and poker on their website.
About Betfair casino and the software and the games
The Betfair betting exchange is innovative and a market leader, so you can definitely expect any other offering from their company to be equally as great.
Betfair casino is available in both instant play and downloadable forms, the instant casino has approximately one hundred and twenty five games, and the download casino has over one hundred and eighty five. Most of these are all the same as you’d find anywhere else so far as the rules go. However they also have a great addition known as the Zero Lounge, where there is a 0% edge against you, something that is pretty much unique to Betfair.
Every game at the Betfair casino can be played for real money or just for fun if you wish, without risking your own cash. This is basically a way to sample the games before you play for real, that way if you don’t like them, it won’t matter too much as you have nothing at stake.
The games you can play are your standard table games and card games, such as Roulette, blackjack, baccarat, hold ‘em poker. There are lots of exciting slot machines too, and also a live casino section with real live dealers, where you can enjoy live blackjack, live roulette and live baccarat.
Promotions
Betfair casino recently ran a television campaign in the UK to help promote the Betfair casino and its games to the public. They also used it as an avenue to market their great £30 bonus. We assume this advertising went well, and they since built on this by offering a £200 bonus now, so strike while the irons hot we say.
One other great thing about Betfair and its products is when you play, you earn Betfair points. These points then reduce the amount of commission you pay at the Betting exchange should you ever decide to use that.
There is also a system known as comp points, which you also earn as you play, these then go on to become redeemable for cash which you can then play with again, and hopefully win big cash prizes in the process.
Betfair Zero Lounge
The greatest feature of Betfair is the Zero Lounge. Here you find some of the classic casino games such as Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat. The ways in which the games are made into Zero Edge varies by game, for instance the zero is removed from the roulette wheel, the rules are slightly more in favour of the player in games such as blackjack etc.
