Betfred Casino Review UK

Betfred Casino Review

Although Betfred entered the online gambling industry in 2004, the bookmaker existed years before the online launch. It started in 1967 as a humble betting shop in Salford. Now, Betfred has become a renowned online casino and bookmaker that caters to global users, including UK players.

Key information

What is Betfred all about?

Many people might know Betfred more for its sports betting section. However, casino players would find many offers explicitly catered for them. If you’re aiming to register with Betfred for its online casino, here are some of Betfred’s best offerings. 

Bonuses

Betfred’s welcome bonus is 200 free spins - with no wagering requirements - on some of the best slots the casino offers. To qualify for this offer, you must place a £10 wager on Blue Wizard, Football! Cash Collect, or Shrine of Anubis Gold Hit. You can then get 50 spins (£0.20) for Age of The Gods, 100 spins (£0.10) for Better Wilds, or 200 spins (£0.05) on Age of The Gods: Gods of Storms 2. 

As well as this offer, Betfred has eight welcome bonuses. You’ll find one specifically for sports, poker, live casino games and more. Existing players aren’t neglected as well, as you’ll get more free spin offers, live trivia with an attractive prize pot, daily tournaments and more. 

Available games

Betfred boasts an extensive collection of casino games with a good variety. You’ll find hundreds of slots to choose from, so you can enjoy Betfred’s jackpot, Megaways, cash collect slots and more. The casino also features popular slot series like the Age of The Gods and the Big Bass Bonanza series. 

Although the table game selection isn’t as extensive as the slot options, there are good game variations. There’s also a dedicated poker lobby for players coming to enjoy the best poker tables. As well as RNG table games, Betfred also offers live dealer options too, where you will have access to bespoke Betfred-branded titles, as well as popular game shows like Quickspin’s Big Bad Wolf, as well as Playtech’s Jumanji The Bonus Level and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Roulette Live.

You will also find a selection of other games, such as scratchcards and instant games. Further, there are also several bingo rooms for those who like to see what the balls have in store!

User experience and interface

Betfred's clean and simple design makes the site easy to use. The casino site categorises its games specifically, such as by type and offerings, so you can easily browse the collection and find what you’re looking for. 

Mobile and app compatibility

Betfred offers an app for iOS and Android devices, but the site is also well-optimised for mobile browsers. The interface looks similar to the desktop version, but the buttons and game icons will follow your device screen size to ensure they won’t crowd the layout. 

App Store: 4.5/ 5 stars (41.6k+ reviews)

Google Play Store: 4.3/ 5 stars (9.8k+ reviews)

VIP programmes and loyalty rewards

For every £10 you place on Betfred casino or live casino games, you’ll earn one ‘complimentary point’. These points are redeemable for various bonuses, including cash, free spins and golden chips. 

Pros & Cons of Betfred

Diving deeper into Betfred

To fully know Betfred, you must dig beyond the casino offerings. Here’s more about Betfred that you must know before registering. 

Licencing

Betfred operates under Petfre Limited, an established company in Gibraltar. To ensure the legality of its operation in the UK, the company holds a licence from the UK Gambling Commission. 

Petfre Limited is also registered on IBAS (Independent Betting Adjudication Service). If you have a complex dispute you can’t resolve after a discussion with the casino operator, then you can report your complaint to IBAS for free. 

Payment methods

For money transactions, I found Betfred accepting some of the most popular payment methods that may cater to various players. From traditional methods like bank cards to e-wallets like PayPal, the casino provides many options. The casino also ensures fast withdrawals, which will only take up to 12 hours the longest. 

Software providers

Betfred has an extensive gaming library, so it wasn’t surprising to see some of the most popular game developers in the industry. Here you will find suppliers ranging from Pragmatic Play and Playtech to NetEnt and Games Global. 

Security and fairness

One of the most important things about an online casino is its ability to protect its users. Betfred has an annual PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) assessment to ensure that all the security measures required to protect your banking data and personal information are working properly. As the online casino is licensed, the regulator also requires the operator to do security audits. 

The regulatory body has tested and certified the games featured on Betfred for fairness. They ensure that they use a fair RNG (random number generator) that can produce randomised results free of manipulation.

Responsible gambling measures 

Betfred supports responsible gambling by providing many tools you can activate to personalise how you can use your account. You can also take a self-assessment test to see if you’re fit to gamble. For the tools, Betfred provides: deposit limits, time-outs (24 hours to six weeks), reality checks and self-exclusion (six months to five years) features.

FIRST rating: 4.9/5 stars

Betfred is one of FIRST’s favourites. From speedy withdrawals (up to 12 hours) to thousands of games with a 200 no wagering free spins welcome offer and a fun loyalty scheme, Betfred gives us plenty of reasons to give a high rating. As well as being fast, minimum withdrawal is as low as £5 - same goes for deposits. The app is cohesive and their commitment to responsible gambling is strong. The only thing that would boost the rating is a few more live casino games and preferably a selection from Evolution Gaming too.
