Introduction

Betfair Casino is an online gaming operator, headquartered in London, delivering gaming to over four million players throughout the world. They are a multi-platform site, but Playtech powers both the download and instant play versions of the casino. Though they have a lot to offer, they have not quite recovered from a major promotional mishap in 2010.

Our Betfair Casino review team enjoyed playing many types of roulette, blackjack, and baccarat, and know you will, too. Lightning Dice, Dream Catcher, and Casino Hold’em are other popular live dealer games you can play. If you like bingo and poker, you’ll also find a great choice of these popular games in their dedicated sections. Betfair’s user interface is vibrant, modern, and quite distinctive. Their color scheme may not appeal to all tastes, but it is interesting and sporty and I quite liked it. Aside from great aesthetics, the Betfair user interface is sleek and fast, with very little getting in the way of some serious sports betting or casino gambling. Betfair Online Casino NJ review. When New Jersey officially became the third state in the country to launch legalized state-run gambling, Betfair Online Casino was one of the sites that were up and running on day one. The Atlantic City casino partner at the time was the Trump Plaza.When that casino closed permanently in September 2014, Betfair was without an Atlantic City-based.

Player Issues

Happy Hour Promotion

In 2010 Betfair ran a casino promotion called 'Happy Hour' that offered players an unlimited number of 50% bonuses up to ÂŁ100 with only a 10xbonus wagering requirement in a 4 hour period. This bonus was vastly over generous to the point that almost all players accepting bonuses would have had an edge over the house as long as the player did not play substantially more than the wagering requirement.

As would be expected, this promotion resulted in a substantial loss for Betfair (rumoured to be in the eight-figure range), as players really cashed in on this promotion. Betfairs response once they realised how badly wrong the Happy Hour promotion had gone for the casino was to start closing player accounts and refusing to pay players. They became uncommunicative with the players involved and refused to work with dispute mediation services.

Betfair Official Site

This was the single biggest instance of confiscation of player funds without breach of a clearly defined term that we have ever come across.

While Betfair have re-engaged with dispute mediation services they have also made clear that discussion of the Happy Hour issue will not be re-opened.
