Betfred Casino Review

About This Site

If you’re the kind of casino player who likes to gamble with a tried and trusted name in the business then Betfred is a good option for you. They are one of the largest independent bookmakers in the UK, from humble origins as a single shop that opened in Salford in 1967, and now with an excellent online presence that includes a top notch slot site.

Whilst the main casino is powered by Playtech, they do not have exclusivity over game provision to Betfred players so if you join we recommend heading over to the Vegas and Games sections of the site where you can also enjoy slots from Microgaming, BTG, Yggdrasil, IGT, Blueprint, Ash Gaming, Realistic and Boss Media. That gives you a pretty tasty selection of game titles to choose from.

Elsewhere there is also a good selection of payment options, including Paypal, Neteller and Skrill, and withdrawals are processed within 24 hours, mostly much quicker, and at weekends too.

You can join now and take advantage of a 50 Starburst spins sign up offer (with winning paid in cash), or read on to find out more about this excellent sportsbook-casino brand.

Games and Software

VIDEO SLOTS

Here at The Slot Buzz we don’t play the Playtech casinos that often because as a business they regularly ensure that they have exclusive deals with the operators they supply to which means you’ll only be able to spin their own slots. However, Betfred clearly weren’t ready to play ball on that front so on their site not only do you get the full suite of Playtech games but also a ton of titles from other top providers in the business. That’s good news, because it means that this casino is stacked full of high quality entertainment.

Here are some of the highlights.

From the Playtech list itself our go-to games are the Marvel comic series which has been running for some time now. Quite a few of the games may look a little dated as they have been around for a good few years – Batman slots and Catwoman slots amongst those – but there are still some excellent Hulk, Fantastic Four and Iron Man 2 games to try. You should also check out some of the Age of Gods series … because they are amongst the most popular games Playtech have pumped out in their recent history. Our favourite is the Ruler of the Sky game from back in 2018. Then of course there are the famous progressives that big jackpot chasers will be interested in. These include Gladiator, Megaball and Beach Life.

In 2020 Betfred finally got a deal struck with NetEnt so now you can enjoy the full catalogue of this Swedish software giant’s games, including Starburst, Aloha! Cluster Pays and Gonzo’s Quest. You should also have a browse through more recent titles like Buttefly Staxx 2, Dead or Alive 2, and Cash Noire, if only to see that these guys are still cutting it after all this time. Their great rivals Microgaming can be found at Betfred too, so you’ll be able to delve into the hits like Immortal Romance, Break Da Bank Again and Game of Thrones.

Another highlight of the casino here is Red Tiger, recently acquired by NetEnt, whose Must Drop Jackpots are a good place to start if you want to try something with a new twist. These games have daily progressives that are programmed to pay out before a specified time of day. They are now very popular and you’ll find them listed on the home page. Elsewhere we recommend taking a look at Big Time Gaming’s series of Megaways™ titles, built for high variance fanatics, Yggdrasil’s great Vikings … series, and others from Blueprint, Thunderkick, NextGen and Scientific.

In truth, the Betfred slots selection was far better than we imagined when we first heard that they were signed up with Playtech. If you do go and find out for yourself we’re pretty sure you won’t be disappointed.

LIVE DEALER

Just a quick word on the Live Dealer tables available to play here. Unlike the slots it looks like Playtech have secured exclusivity because we can’t find any dealers form our favourite studios, Evolution and NetEnt Live. Instead there are a selection of the following games: Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette, Hi Lo, Money Wheel and 3 Card Brag.  The stake ranges are enough to satisfy most players and dealers are all European and speaking English.


Bonuses and Promotions

Betfred Casino is keeping it simple when it comes to the welcome package on offer. You get 50 free spins to play on selected slots. To claim this bonus you just need to deposit and stake £10 or more on slot games.

The 50 free spins once award can then be used on any of the following games:

  • Kingdoms Rise: Captain’s Treasure
  • Kingdoms Rise: Forbidden Forest
  • Kingdoms Rise: Guardians of the Abyss
  • Kingdoms Rise: Reign of Ice

Here are the important ts and cs:

  • You MUST deposit with a debit card to qualify for this bonus.
  • You must deposit within 30 days of registration.
  • Winnings are received as cash with NO WAGERING REQUIREMENTS.

Sound good? You can sign up right here.

Betfred are a well-established name on the UK gambling scene and with years of experience they have a strong promotions and loyalty team, with regular bonuses, cashback and free spins offers for existing customers.

You can enjoy offers like Game of the Week, granting you double loyalty points for money staked on the chosen slot. Loyalty, or Comp points, are granted for all your gameplay on the casino. There are four levels – Base, Bronze, Gold and Diamond, with improving exchange rates from points to cash at each level.


Cashier and Payments

Like all the big bookmakers who run online casinos, Betfred has a wealth of deposit and withdrawal options, all of which are free. You can use the debit card option – Visa, Mastercard or Maestro – or any one of a number of eWallets, including Paypal, Skrill and Neteller.

The withdrawal times at Betfred are very favourable, with a guaranteed maximum processing time of 24 hours. If you are someone who finds it hard to resist reversing that withdrawal whilst you wait for it to be processed then Betfred could be a good option for you – you CANNOT cancel a withdrawal request once it’s done!

Remember that since spring of 2020 it is no longer be possible to deposit by credit card and you will need to verify your ID before you can deposit or play (even for free).


Customer Support

Another reason that we recommend Betfred to Slot Buzz readers is their strong customer support reputation. Outside of the extensive FAQs section of the site there is also the option to contact the team via Phone (0800 028 7747 in the UK), Email ([email protected])and Live Chat.

Response times are generally very quick, as you would expect from a top tier sportsbook.

LICENSING INFORMATION

Betfred Casino operates under license from the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority to ensure all players enjoy safe, secure and fair gaming. The games, the platform and the cashier have all been fully audited and tested by third parties and all transactions are secure and encrypted. To find out more about the licensing process, check out our guide to UK Gambling Law.


Our Verdict

Whilst our preference is generally for independent casinos when we play our slots, we were pleasantly surprised by the Betfred experience. The choice of games is first class and pretty much every type of player is catered for. Meanwhile, the overall experience is what you want from a big, big name in gambling both online and offline in the UK. The website, cashier and support services are all of a high standard, and the bonus package for new players is modest but easy to trigger. We’ll leave it up to you to decide if you want to spend your money at a big sportsbook, but if you are going to, this would be a good choice.
