Recently named Operator of the Year at the third annual e-Gaming awards in London, Betfair is one of the leading names in internet gambling services in existence today. The company was well known in the betting and poker fields before it introduced its wildly successful Betfair Casino, a site that attracts thousands each day. The site is the trading name of the English and Wales registered company, Sporting Exchange Limited and therefore comes with the backing of a reputable organization.

Betfair Casino is powered by one of the best software companies that specialize in flash games, ie. software that does not come in a downloadable package and, instead, can be played directly off the browser. Chartwell Technologies have created an excellent suite of games for Betfair, surpassing many competitors in terms of graphics and sound features. All the games can be played for free, of course, so that players can familiarize themselves with the rules and features before playing for real money.

Betfair Casino presents one of the most unique options ever found at an online gambling site – a Zero Lounge where games come with an almost unheard of no house edge rate. That’s right – players can take their pick from four of the most popular games in the industry (blackjack, roulette, baccarat and Jacks or Better) and play with odds that are not found at any other online site.

Besides the Zero Lounge, players can enter the Main Lounge and choose from over forty all-time game favorites, ranging from 3 and 5 reel slots, table games, video poker and soft games such as Mad Matterhorn and Hi-Lo. The main difference between the Zero Lounge and the Main Lounge (besides the number of games available and the odds) is that the Zero Lounge comes with a higher minimum wagering stake (starting at around 5 Pounds), while the player can find many low stake games in the Main Lounge. 

Players who are registered on other Betfair sites can play using their same account, for seamless financial transactions. Otherwise, registration is quick and hassle-free. The site is available in a wide number of languages in line with its global approach and payment can be made through most of the popular systems, including credit cards and ebanking.

New players at Betfair Casino are rewarded with a 100% match bonus on up to 100 Pounds. After signing up and transferring funds to their account, they will be awarded up to 100 Pounds in their account almost instantly. This is a great way to get a feel for the site, all the while enjoying real-money play without making too much of a dent in one’s bankroll.

Betfair casino also has an active forum for players to post their views, queries and comments, and allowing them to be part of a buzzing e-community. The site is user friendly and extremely easy to navigate, giving an overall feeling that the site developers considered the needs of the players.

Betfair has proven itself to be an industry leader and its casino site should please both seasoned players and newcomers alike.
