Betfair Casino Review

Overview

With a very healthy 98.26% payout percentage on all games, Betfair is certainly worth a go! It has a slower download than some casino sites but it’s well worth the wait. You download the main software and then each game onto your system as you use it which is a bit different from other sites. Betfair is powered by Playtech so you’re guaranteed a smooth lovely looking site.

There’s a wide selection of games. Enjoy Zero Blackjack, Zero Baccarat, Zero and Jacks or Better games with a zero house edge in betfair’s Zero Lounge. 3D Roulette puts a new spin on the game, Boom.

Betfair are proud to be the E Gaming Review Operator of the year 2007.
