Game typesBetfred Casino Verdict
Betfred Casino is certainly one of the top casino sites out there. Though the content is blurred somewhat with general gambling, this isn’t an issue for most players. You won’t see a strong theme and some parts of the site might not apply to you, but you get plenty of games to try out. True casino fans may want a dedicated site, but overall there’s a lot of quality here.

Design & Usability
The Betfred Casino site uses a rich blue theme and has a top navigation bar for nipping around the various sections. Because this site covers a bit of everything, it lacks somewhat in terms of theming, but is nevertheless very high quality. The slots section is given some flavour by a changing background image from the current slot of the week, so this adds a dash of colour.
The site is pretty easy to use, when you focus on the sub-menu for your current section. Text could stand to be bigger and perhaps friendlier, but overall the site is fine.
Software & Gameplay
Betfred Casino gives the option of downloading software too, but it’s pretty true to the main site and only really useful if you like to be focussed when playing, or are trying to reduce data usage. When launching a game, you can optionally ask to get regular ‘reality checks’, a great way to avoid problem gambling. Slots run in small windows without any special Betfred overlay.
Betfred operate their own live dealer games via Playtech, which run pretty well indeed, though we initially had flash plugin issues with all games. The downside to this site is that it could be easier to search the games; they are split between Casino and Games sections and this can be annoying.
Safety & Security
Betfred Casino is fully licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and the Gibraltar Gambling Commission. This is a brand with decades of experience and a great reputation, starting from a single betting shop in 1967!
Though the main site does not have a secure certificate, your money security is provided by Trustwave, and this can be checked on the site. They also provide responsible gaming tools and controls to fight problem gambling.
Payments & Withdrawals
Depositing is very easy at Betfred Casino thanks to a simple on-page cashier, where you pick from a series of icons. Withdrawing starts at £5 for most methods and shouldn’t take over the average 5 working days to arrive.
This site accepts several payment methods. Cards include MasterCard and Visa, and E-wallets include Neteller, Skrill and, importantly, PayPal. You also have BACS transfer and PaySafeCard, so this is a great selection.
Customer Support
There is a live chat quick link at the bottom left of the main Betfred site, which is handy. Otherwise, look for Contact Us at the site base. This reveals a plethora of contact options- email, live chat and phone (8 am to 8 pm). Each of these has several sub-options depending on your region and the nature of your problem, so you should get a better response as a result.
The team is well-trained and professional, as you’d expect from such a large company. You also have a very thorough FAQ area, neatly sorted by categories.
Bonuses & Promotions
There’s a fair mixture of promotions at Betfred Casino, with their own artwork, however, because the site is shared with other betting types, you might only get a couple relating to slots or table games at any time. Promotions include a free spins accumulator and a prize draw to win a £200k holiday giveaway which players can claim one entry by staking £10 on slots across Games, Vegas, Casino and Bingo.
The welcome bonus for casino players is an excellent option for anyone wanting to explore the site and get a bit more bang for their buck! Stake £10 on slots and receive up to 200 Free Spins.
Players will be offered a choice of 50 Free Spins on Age Of The Gods ™ at £0.20 per spin, 100 Free Spins on Better Wilds at £0.10 per spin, 200 Free Spins on Age Of The Gods ™ God of Storms 2 at £0.05 per spin.
The best thing about this welcome bonus is that all the spins come with no wagering, meaning any winnings are yours to keep!

Device Compatibility
The Betfred Casino site is very forthcoming with information about their mobile offerings and helps you find them, which is great for new players. There is an app available for iOS devices, which gives access to over 13 casino games and all the perks of the main site, such as support and account pages.
There is also a mobile site, which you can easily visit on your phone or tablet browser, on Android and Apple. You can even request a link for this via text. The vast majority of the slots selection is available and it works like a charm. Since this mobile view excludes other forms of betting, it’s arguably easier to follow.
Variety & Originality
Betfred Casino has a lot to offer, as not only do you have the choice of checking out poker, bingo and other offerings, but the slots are pretty broad too. The site has a mixture of developers, such as Microgaming, Big Cat and Ash Gaming. There are over 150 slots, with several jackpot games.
Five live dealer games and almost 40 other card and table games enhance the selection. There isn’t really anything missing on this site.
Loyalty & Rewards
There is no current VIP system at Betfred Casino, but everyday players can also gain loyalty points from wagering, which can later be converted back to credit. You earn 5 points for £1 wagered, but must dive your total by 4,000 to see what you get (ie, 20,000 points ÷ 4000 = £5).
