Betfred Casino hit the web-waves in 2005, just one year after launching its flagship Betfred Sportsbook, but decades after the company's inauguration. Betfred was originally established in the UK in 1967 by brothers Fred and Peter Done. Betfred is now the world's largest bookmaker, with over 750 land-based shops in the UK, plus one of the most distinguished online gaming companies in all of Europe.
Betfred Casino is owned and operated by Petfre Limited, powered by a combination of PlayTech and Electracade software, licensed and regulated in Gibraltar. The online casino promotes responsible gambling, accepting no players under 18 years of age, and no residents of the US or Turkey.
The casino is accessible one of two ways; by downloading the casino software, or via the instant-play Flash casino. Both offer a great selection of games, though you'll find more in the download version. By implementing two software brands, Betfred Casino is able to provide a massive selection of classic casino games from PlayTech, plus a vast array of arcade style gaming options from Electracade.
New players at Betfred Casino can double their first deposit up to ВЈ200. Sign up an account, make your first deposit, and you'll be rewarded with a 100% match bonus up to ВЈ100. A player's second deposit will earn yet another 100% bonus up to ВЈ100. In order to claim the bonus, you must contact Live Support, accessible in the casino (download or flash version) and request the bonus. It will be instantly awarded upon request. However, you must contact live support for the bonus before wagering any of your deposited funds.
An exclusive VIP program rewards players for their continued loyalty to Betfred Casino. As you play, you'll earn comp points. The more points you earn, the higher your VIP status, and thus the more rewards you'll receive. VIPs can earn anywhere from ВЈ50 to ВЈ3,500 each month in loyalty rewards. A refer-a-friend bonus is also available, worth ВЈ10 per friend.
Other promotions from Betfred Casino are updated monthly or seasonally. For example, players can receive 10% cashback on all deposits, up to ВЈ100 per day, during Summer 2009.
Membership with Betfred Casino has other advantages, as well. Betfred plays host to a variety of online gambling venues, not just the Betfred casino and Betfred Sports, but also Betfred Poker, Betfred Bingo, Betfred Lotto, Betfred Mobile and more. A single Betfred account gives members access to all betting venues.
Betfred Casino Software and Graphics
Betfred Casino employs leading casino software from developer PlayTech, as well as the software technologies of Electracade. This combination of powerful software engines allows Betfred to offer all of the favorite casino classics, as well as a selection of arcade style games. Captivating graphics and streaming game play are just part of what makes Betfred Casino so enjoyable.
The software is available for download, granting users access to the full range of games. An instant-play version is also presented for convenience. The download is PC compatible only, so Mac/Linux users will need to access the casino via Flash. The no-download casino is also convenient when you're away from your own computer or laptop.
Betfred Casino offers its software in two languages, English and Spanish.
Betfred Casino Game Variety, Tournaments
At Betfred Casino, players can choose from their favorite casino games, as well as a few dozen instant wins and arcades. There are more than 160 selections overall, playable for real money or just for fun. Enjoy table games that include several varieties of Blackjack and Roulette, along with Caribbean Poker, War, Craps, Pontoon and others.
There are plenty of online slots, including classic 3 reels and 5 reel video slots, some with enormous progressive jackpots attached, like Wall St Fever and Megaball and Cinerama. Video Poker comes in multiple varieties, with up to 25-line power play. Members have grown quite fond of the arcades and instant wins, some requiring a little luck, and others relying strictly on skill. Most are sports based, like Penalty Shootout, Derby Day, Jackpot Darts and Bonus Bowling. Others are variably themed, such as Betfred Slots, Pop Bingo and Rollercoaster Dice.
Betfred Casino Customer Support
To contact Betfred Casino, players can use one of 4 categorical email addresses, call toll-free from the UK (charges apply for international lines), or speak to a live chat support rep within the casino lobby. All support options are open 24/7.
