Bet365 Casino

Bet365 Casino overview

Online casino giant Bet365 is one of the largest clubs on the internet. Although considered as primarily a bookmaker, Bet365 offers more than 300 slots and video slots, as well as poker and table games, including several varieties of roulette. It even has a decent live casino section for those seeking the extra thrill of a more immersive experience.

Roulette and casino games

With a minimum of 250 slots and video slots available, Bet365 offers plenty of choices for casino players. Table games include old favorites like blackjack (in many varieties) and roulette, which may be played on double-zero American wheels, or single-zero European wheels. Punters can also play mini-roulette, multi-wheel roulette, European Pro roulette and Marvel roulette. Limits are typically €1 to €500.

Additional table games include Caribbean Stud, baccarat, Casino Hold’em and others. Live Dealer games include two groups, Euro and Asian. Under the Euro group, players will see live streaming and may wager on baccarat, blackjack, roulette and Casino Hold’em.

Under the Asian Live Dealer games, players may bet on baccarat, blackjack, roulette and Sic Bo.

Poker Room

The Poker Room at Bet365 is very good, with games of all types, from 7-Card stud to Texas Hold’em to Omaha and others. There is a special bonus for poker players that is cleared by playing games with a rake, even those with small limits, and limits run from micro (penny) to No-Limit games with blinds as high as €/$25-€/$50.

Sports Wagering

As one of the largest bookie sites in the world, Bet365 offers wagers on virtually everything, from golf, UK and European football, to US football and baseball, to cricket, rugby and even yachting. Live wagering for current games is plentiful, and of course wagers can be made on horse races.

Wagering limits are very high, rivaling the sports books of Las Vegas, with €/$25,000 for Australian Rules Football, twice that for NFL Football, and up to €/$250,000 for European Football and major events like the NFL Super Bowl.

Banking and withdrawals

You can always cash out quickly once you have verified your players account credentials. To do so you will need to fax or email a copy of a government issued ID, a services bill (such as a water or power bill), and a copy of any credit or debit card used. Verification can take up to a week.

Upon your first withdrawal, Bet365 will process your request through the same account (e-Wallet etc.) that your initial deposit was made. There is no maximum withdrawal, but amounts greater than €20,000 may require additional arrangements.

Make sure you plan ahead. A first withdrawal, even after verification, is likely to take several days as your account will be carefully scrutinized. Subsequent withdrawals will be quicker.

Safety and security

Bet365 uses a Random Number Generator to ensure fair-play at all times, and this is checked regularly by independent testers Gaming Laboratories International. Meanwhile, Thawte SSL Firewall and Data Encryption software protects all personal data and financial transactions. Personal Data is also only used by Bet365 to keep records of correspondence and transactions, whilst details of your activity at Bet365 may be used anonymously by them to improve how they operate in the future. The information collected by the Cookies Bet365 will also be used to try and improve Bet365, and the personalised service they offer you.

Mobile experience

No matter where you are, you can enjoy all the thrills of Bet365 whenever and wherever you feel like it thanks to Bet365 Mobile. iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch users just need to be running either iOS 8, iOS 9 or iOS 10, whilst Android Phone and Tablet users need to be running Android 4.4 or later. Alternatively, you can download Android or iOS Apps if you prefer. Bet365 Mobile should make sure you never miss a sports-bet ever again, whilst you can play great slots like Iron Man 2 and Rocky, and classic casino games like blackjack and roulette.

Bonuses and promotions

Bet365 offers a number of bonuses for different parts of the website. The current casino deposit bonus is not among the best we’ve seen. However, it comes with very low wagering requirements and a small minimum deposit, so that balances it out.

The bad news is that many game types do not contribute 100% to the wagering requirements. For instance, baccarat games will only contribute 25%, and a game of craps, poker, or roulette just 20%. If you really just want to play games like live Hi-Lo, Blackjack Surrender, or Blackjack Switch, it’s best if you don’t accept the bonus. These games do not contribute to the wagering requirements, so any plans for a quick cashout would be seriously derailed . Instead, use Chat or the phone to decline the bonus if it does make it to your account. Otherwise you won’t be able to cash out and you’ll lose any winnings (unless of course you play some “accepted” games and complete the wagering requirements).

(Significant T&Cs for UK players: 18+, Deposit min. £10. Applies to first deposit to Casino only. Max bonus £100. 15x wagering (game weighting applies) on deposit and bonus to make the bonus balance withdrawable. Time limits and T&Cs apply Play Responsibly) 

Game selection

Only ever-popular slots and the latest releases make it into the Bet365 Slots Section, and there are games from up to 30 software companies available at any one time. Bet365 also offers Live-Dealer Casino Games, as well as in-house versions of popular Roulette and Blackjack varieties, and other popular table games like Sic Bo and 3-Card Brag. Video Poker is also very popular, and includes games like Aces & Faces.

Currencies

Bet365’s continued growth means it now allows members to deposit funds in 30 different currencies, be it the typical currencies of US Dollars, Euros and Great British Pounds or the lesser-used options of the Icelandic Kronur, Malaysian Ringgits and Hungarian Forints. Simply choose which one of the many deposit options that are compatible with your preferred currency.

Jackpot games

Bet365 has a dedicated Jackpots Section, where you can play 24 exciting jackpot slots that offer jackpot prizes numbering in the millions. At the time of writing,  Jackpot Giant was offering the biggest jackpot prize; a whopping ten million euros! Imagine what you can do with all that money.

How the casino is rated

Bet365 may not offer the biggest bonuses in the world, but wagering requirements are very fair. However, the enormous global appeal of Bet365 is based on a reputation for great casino and sports betting on seamless and speedy desktop and mobile platforms. This is all backed-up with flawless safety and security, and customer support which is on hand 24/7.

System Requirements

The data downloaded in a single packet to your PC is fairly small and will give you the casino set-up and the chance to register as a user. Because Bet365 offers live dealers, streaming sports and live poker as well as a casino, the download is slightly larger than some other web-casinos. In addition, the software will take slightly longer to move from each section, such as from the casino to sports betting.

However, the overall play in the casino is excellent, with strong graphics and many choices of slots and video slots. Instant games (Browser play) and Mobile play on iPhone, iPad and Android is available.

Getting Started

As with any online casino, you’ll need to set-up an account to play, whether you want the Free Game mode or Real Money mode. Make sure you use your real name and address, as you’ll have to verify this with photo ID and other documents should you decide to cash out. Choose the bonus that looks best for you from several options of poker –sports wagering – and casino play.

After clicking on the bonus and download, accept the terms of use and the casino will download in about 30 seconds at normal internet speeds. If you don’t see the download box, check your computer download list and click on “Setup Casino,” which is the software provided by Playtech PLC for your online use. If the download hangs for a minute, it’s probably your computer anti-virus protecting you – so allow access to “initialcasinosetup” and you’ll be good to go.

Once you are registered you can check out the large selection of games, the poker room, the sports betting, and you’ll soon be prompted to make a deposit. If you wish to play for real money you can make a direct deposit from your bank (which may take several days), or a deposit via Credit or Debit card, or from 15 different e-Wallets like Webmoney. These options may give you instant access, with deposits as low as £5.

Bonuses

Bet365 offers a number of bonuses for different parts of the website. Currently the casino deposit is a 100% match up to £200. Make sure you read the fine print under “Promotions” and “Terms and Conditions.”

To qualify, you must deposit €20 or more to Games in one transaction. And, you must complete all requirements within 60 days. The offer is not available to customers residing in the UK, Australia, Russia, China, South Korea, Taiwan or Italy.

To bet with your bonus, play through the amount of your deposit/transfer once on qualifying games. You will need to play through your deposit/transfer and bonus 20 times prior to making a withdrawal. Your real balance will be used prior to any bonus funds.

The bad news is that many games, from video poker to table games, do not count towards the rollover. Included in the “does not count” group is any form of roulette. For players who really just want to play roulette, don’t accept the bonus if you have any plans to cash-out soon. Instead, use Chat or the phone to decline the bonus if it does make it to your account. Otherwise you won’t be able to cash-out and you’ll lose any winnings (unless of course you play some “accepted” games and complete the rollover).

Complimentary Play

Many online casinos offer a small tidbit back to players in the form of free money, or complimentary play, which is dependent on total wagers and the games you play. At Bet365, most slots earn 3 points per 10 units of real money (such as €10 or £10). Some table games earn zero, but most earn 1, like roulette, or 2 as with Pai Gow Poker, Sic Bo or Red Dog.

As you reach milestones in play you will be included in additional bonuses and the exchange rate will fall as low as 75 points per £1 in exchange rate (from the standard 100 points). If you don’t play at the site for 13 consecutive weeks, you points go bye-bye, never to be seen again.

The Games

With a minimum of 250 slots and video slots available, Bet365 offers plenty of choices for casino players. Table games include old favorites like blackjack (in many varieties) and roulette, which may be played on double-zero American wheels, or single-zero European wheels.

Under the Asian Live Dealer games, players may bet on baccarat, blackjack, roulette and Sic Bo.

New slots include Iron Man 3, Everybody’s Jackpot (now over £150,000), Cat Queen and Battle of the Gods. The games run smoothly with great graphics and realistic speed and play. Limits run from penny to £1 and Fruit Slots and Pokies are also available. You can also play old favorites like Piggies and the Wolf, Funky Fruit and Deal or No Deal World with a current jackpot of over £100,000.
