Betfair casino

Betfair is not simply a betting site. In addition to the Betfair Sportsbook, the company also offers, on the same page, online casino games, a unique poker software, bingo and arcade games, Virtual Sports, Live Casino and is the largest exchange provider (“exchange” or “trade”) in the world. Betfair Exchange works as a kind of” Stock Exchange " in the sports market, in which users can buy and sell their quotes among themselves. Fans of online betting know what we are talking about.

The company's main headquarters are located in London, United Kingdom, and Dublin, Ireland. Since its launch in 2000, Betfair has quickly become the UK's largest online betting site and the world's largest betting exchange provider. For British bettors, it is regularized under a license from the UK Gambling Commission. Betfair New Zealand's operator, Betfair International Plc, is regulated and licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority.

With a strong presence in the European market, Betfair also wins over New Zealand players by presenting a wide variety of gaming and betting options. The company charges a commission of around 5% for all winning bets, but it does not stop having supporters. In this review, we will look at the positives and negatives of Betfair, covering its entire entertainment portfolio, from sports betting to casino games, and reviewing aspects of user safety, bonuses offered and customer service.

Many people still avoid putting personal and financial data online as much as possible. However, currently this is almost impossible, since we make several transactions directly online, which are more practical and help to streamline day-to-day tasks. But, before making any transaction or registration that involves your data on the internet, you need to make sure that the website on which you are placing this information is safe and trustworthy.

The reviews we make at New ZealandCasinos start from several basic factors that online casinos and sports betting sites they must have to be considered reliable and safe. Below you can see all the aspects that we consider in our evaluation:

• The site must have a license to operate as an online casino;
• The site must use recognized gaming software;
• The site must have technologies to ensure the security of users, such as SSL security certificate;
• The site should be evaluated by independent auditing companies on a regular basis, who test and evaluate whether the games are being operated through a random number generator.
• The site should have good user reviews for consumer service and payment policy.

Betfair is one of the largest, most successful and established online gambling companies. But is she reliable?

An important factor to consider when talking about the safety and reliability of online casinos and betting sites is fair play, that is, how do we know that we are using safe, fair and non-cheating games? To ensure fair play and randomness of results, the casino must be audited by an independent company, which tests and evaluates the games to ensure their fairness.

Betfair uses games from Playtech, one of the largest distributors of casino games in the world. Games produced by Playtech are independently tested by GLI (Gaming Laboratories International), which is the auditing company that performs the tests on the fairness of the results and ensures that the games are fair.

For UK residents, the company is licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission. For players residing elsewhere, by registering users are registering with Betfair International Plc, which is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, located in Malta. You can see the license numbers and other information about regularizations that the company follows on the rules and regulations page, which you can access in the footer of the website. The content is, fortunately, all translated into English.

Another important factor in measuring whether Betfair is trustworthy or not is the transparency of the information offered and the quality of its service. After all, all of this alters and shapes player experiences and can lead to a breakdown in trust or, more optimistically, loyalty.

We found some complaints from users regarding the service offered by Betfair, especially with regard to the difficulty of understanding bonuses and promotions, the difficulty of making bet , the difficulty in fulfilling the rollover and also regarding the support offered, which proves to be inefficient.

According to Betfair, user safety is their top priority. Betfair is proud to be ISO27001 certified, a global standard for information security management. This means that the company reviews its business and regularly identifies the best security measures, policies, standards and procedures necessary to protect its users. ISO27001 certification also implies that the company undergoes independent and regular audits.

In addition, Betfair is PCI (Payment Card Industry) certified for credit cards. This protocol ensures that the company acts to prevent credit card fraud and maintains security standards regarding deposits and withdrawals. This demonstrates the seriousness that it deals with the security of financial information that could eventually harm its users.

According to the company, it uses “enterprise-class technologies” to provide a high level of security to its users. In this sense, Betfair claims that its products have the same level of security as online banking or financial services.

As for the personal data that the user must put when registering with Betfair, they are protected by SSL technology, ensuring that the information will be encoded and will be inaccessible to third parties. SSL technology is a well-known standard that encodes data before it leaves the computer, so that it can only be decoded by the servers of the betting site or online casino in question.

Use bonuses

There are hundreds of games available at Betfair and hundreds more opportunities to place sports bets on events around the world. At Betfair casino, you will find slots, jackpots, table games, live casino, card games, arcade and video poker. In the Betfair Sportsbook section, users can bet on 30 sports and place live bets on events that are currently taking place. In some games it is possible to play for free, in others it is not.

Betfair also offers virtual sports and bingo. The bad news is that not all pages are translated into English – like the bingo page, for example – and this makes it difficult for New Zealand players to understand and therefore compromises their game. It is already worth noting here that the organization of games on the Betfair page is not very intuitive. There is too much content in one place, making the new user feel very lost and do not even know where to start.

About sports betting, games exchange and Exchange, it would be great if Betfair made a kind of manual on how to bet on their site, since it can be complicated and difficult to learn on your own how to make, sell and withdraw bets, especially for new users. Betfair game developers are:

• NetEnt
• Playtech
• Red Tiger Gaming
• WMS (Williams Interactive)
• Blueprint Gaming
• The Games Company
• Odobo

In the game lobby, pokies feature an “i " button in the top right corner of their thumbnail. By clicking on this button, it is possible to know all the details of the game, such as the amount of available paylines, the amount of bonuses, the wild symbols, etc. However, all this information is in English, which is a shame, because this was a plus point of the Betfair casino.

Kingdom games are all in the table games category. There, you can find more than 10 options for play Kingdom online , including Classic Kingdom, Pinball Roulette, Mini Roulette and Premium Roulette Pro. In Kingdom games the info button is also available (look for the “i” in the game thumbnail).

The Betfair sportsbook offers a wide variety of sporting events to bet on. In the centre of the page, Betfair lists the events and sports currently featured. Already in the side menu, the user finds quick links to sporting events.

Unfortunately, Betfair does not offer guides on how to bet, how to bet on the exchange games or how to navigate the exchange. Given that there is a lot of information on the site and you need to learn how to place bets, the company, which is almost 80% focused on this market, could take advantage of this opportunity and offer manuals for its online betting .

Betfair's online bingo section is available in English only. It features a short manual on how to get started, called “Getting Started”, and is divided between bingo rooms and video bingo games. The option to play free bingo it is not available.

The company recommends using Mastercard credit, debit and prepaid cards and Visa and Mastercard International cards for deposits. As for the withdrawal, it must be done using the same deposit method, except when this is not available.

For a large company like Betfair, the payment methods offered are not very diverse. Fortunately, though, they are all comfortable and familiar to New Zealand players. See more details in the table below.

The processing time of withdrawals depends on the payment method the user uses. In the table below Betfair makes an estimate of the processing time of each of them.

For each of the sections of the site there are different promotions and bonuses. Look for the “Promotions” tab in the section you want to play. Bonuses are a great means of making the game more profitable, but they can also be dangerous, because there are terms and conditions (which usually users do not read) that must be met for the bonus and any profit you make from it to be valid. O no Deposit Bonus , unfortunately, is not available on Betfair.

The Betfair VIP program page is also not available in English. Betfair VIP players enjoy exclusive promotions and other benefits. The program is divided into the following levels:

The Betfair website is full of information. Although it offers a "clean" design, it can be difficult for the player to situate themselves with so many game and betting options available on the main menu.

The main menu offers the following categories: Exchange, Sportsbook, Casino, Live Casino, Poker, games Exchange, Arcade, Vegas Slot, Bingo and Virtual Sports. Although this may seem organized, each of these sections subdivides into several others, showing the wide entertainment options that Betfair offers.

Although it is a large company and has many users around the world, Betfair leaves a little to be desired for New Zealand players. With some sections of the site entirely in English, it is not possible for everyone to access the games available. Another point in which the company sins is to offer too complicated bonuses and promotions, as many users testify in their own reviews.

Some positive points are that the site offers a lot of Playtech games, it is easy to access it and the payment methods are convenient for New Zealand players.
