Overview

Review last updated – January 2013

Founded in 2006, Betsafe are another newcomer to the online casino industry, but have so far racked up a host of positive feedback on gambling related message boards. They have recently been acquired by the Betsson group – an industry giant – which can only be good for customers.

Trustworthiness 6/10

All six of the reviewers who work for this site on a regular bases have held accounts with the Betsson group for many years and all the feedback they’ve given is positive.

However we are aware of several instances where one of the casinos in the Betsson group have refused to cooperate in any way with 3rd party mediation (http://www.gamblinggrumbles.com/Reports/CasinoEuro_They-loved-him-when-he-was-losing, http://www.gamblinggrumbles.com/Reports/Bettson-Casino_Was-it-racism, http://www.gamblinggrumbles.com/Reports/Betsson-Casino_Sic-transit-gloria-mundi and http://www.askgamblers.com/casino-complaints/no-payment-at-betsson-casino-c1186). The Betsson group have assured CasinoMeister that they are now willing to engage with 3rd party dispute mediation, but as this is the only portal they seem willing to work with, this isn't hugely reassuring.

Betsson and all casinos within the Affiliate Lounge group are marked as predatory at Affiliate Guard Dog for their use of aggressively unfriendly terms and changing contracts retroactively.

Payout Speed and Banking 10/10

Using Neteller all of our reviewers report all withdrawal paid within 24 hours.

Banking options available - Credit/Debit Cards, Bank Transfer, Neteller, Moneybookers (Skrill), Entropay, Euteller, Speedcard, PaySafeCard and Click and Buy

We recommend using Neteller for speed, convenience and security. To sign-up to Neteller click here.


Customer Service 10/10

As mentioned above our reviewers have only positive reports when it comes to their communications with the Betsafe customer support team.

With the parent company showing a move towards greater transparency, Betsafe are certainly going in the right direction and with the choice of two great software platforms, there are a lot of good reasons to play with Betsafe.
