Bet365 Review

Bet365 Overview

Running an online casino is a profitable business - at least if you do it right. Maybe this is why most online sports betting operators add at least one online casino to their product range. I say “at least”, because Bet365, for example, has two of them, offering its players multiple choices to play with for even more online entertainment.

About Bet365

Bet365 is one of the biggest European online sports betting operators, with a user base of over 14 million registered customers. It is a private company (owned by the Coates family) with its headquarters in Stoke on Trent (UK). Bet365 grew out of the retail betting shop network owned by the family, in 2000. It has since become the biggest online sportsbook of the UK.

Bet365 does not limit its services to sports betting: it runs a poker room, a bingo hall, a financial betting interface and online casinos as well.

Translations and restrictions

Bet365 has prepared for a truly international audience - it was translated into 17 languages: English, German, Danish, Norwegian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Greek, Bulgarian, Greek, Portuguese, Polish, Czech, Slovenian, Romanian, Hungarian and Chinese.

The casino Terms and Conditions don’t list any specific country based restrictions, but the sportsbook does not accept players from the USA and its territories, France, French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Hong Kong, Netherlands and Martinique.

Software

For its main online casino Bet365 uses software provided by Playtech, one of the most famous online gambling software developers of the industry. For its Games section the operator uses software developed by a series of companies - NextGen Gaming, Ash Gaming, Playtech, Openbet, Blueprint Gaming and more.

The real delight for slots players is hidden in Bet365’s Vegas Slots section - it features high quality (premium?) slot machines provided by Net Entertainment.

Games

As the operator has three separate sections where players can access casino-style games, the variety of games offered by Bet365 is huge.

The Casino section offers access to over 250 games, part of them available for browser play or mobile (including live dealer titles like blackjack, roulette or baccarat). The Games section has literally hundreds of games players can choose from - the game list just goes on and on - including video slots, bonus slots, jackpot games and many others. The Vegas section has a smaller list of almost 60 titles to choose from, but all games have the highest possible quality.

The casino and the Vegas (casino?) are also available on mobile devices - the Casino has native apps for iOS and Android powered smartphones and tablets, a separate app for live dealer games and a mobile browser version with no download required. The Vegas section only has a cross-platform mobile browser version featuring the best touchscreen-optimized Net Entertainment games.

Promotions

Players used to the huge welcome offers provided by Netad and Virtual Casinos operations might be disappointed by the moderate welcome bonus offered by Bet365.

New casino players can choose one of the following three options for their first deposit:

- the Standard Opening Bonus - a 100% match on their first deposit of at least €10, up to €100, with the bonus code BONUS100
- the Slots Only Opening Bonus - a 200% match on their first deposit of at least €10, up to €200, with the bonus code SLOTS200
- the VIP Opening Bonus - a 50% match on their first deposit of at least €200, up to €500, with the bonus code VIP500.

The list of bonuses does not end here, though - Bet365 has a series of others in store for its players, including the €3,000 Bonus Bundle (a series of deposit bonuses, from €10 up to €200, up to a total of €3,000 each month), the Slots Club (a special reward for the most successful slots players, up to €1,000), the Monday specials, the slots tournaments, the mobile specials and many more.

New players at the Vegas slots are in for a 100% deposit match, up to €100, and a 50% reload bonus up to €250, plus free rounds on various game with every deposit.

Banking

Bet365 is a truly international operator, accepting deposits and making payouts using a great variety of local and international methods. The available methods, the minimum and maximum deposit and withdrawal amounts are variable depending on the country of residence of the player, and the currency and method chosen by him or her. Please refer to the Bet365 FAQ for more specific details.

Conclusion

When it comes to slot machines, the game variety offered by Bet365 is one of the best. Its bonuses might not be the biggest ones in the industry, but its reliability, its security and its size (it’s one of the biggest ones) makes it the choice for most casino players from all around the world.
