Slots RTP

Betfred casino publish the House Edge/RTP figures for all of their slots games.

Comp Points

Betfred Casino offer the standard Playtech comp point program, that being 1 comp point earned for every £10 wagered and 100 comp points = £1. Alongside this they improve the redemption rate as you move up the VIP ladder. This puts their comp point program above average for the industry.

Closing Thoughts

We'd like to like Betfred, but any operator that offer the deceptive games that Betfred have are not one we'd be at all happy to send players to. There are many operators without these problems that make a far better choice for players.
