Betsson was founded in 2001 by Fredrik Sidfalk, Henrik Bergquist and Anders Holmgren and has been in operation ever since. Steadily growing their portfolio, adding new products and offering their services around the world, Betsson is one of the staples in the industry – a solid one at that.

About Betsson

Betsson is part of the BML Group with sister casinos such as Betsafe or CasinoEuro. Betsson started out as a betting site, though the company behind the casino has been providing gambling solutions for over 50 years already.

Thus, Betsson soon added other products to their line-up, including online casino games such as slots, table games, and poker games. In fact, Betsson Poker enjoyed particular success, growing fairly quickly early on.

Betsson has seen incredible growth throughout the years and is even traded at the Nasdaq. The company has also received multiple industry awards over the years and continues to flourish as it moves with the times, always aiming to stay ahead in the game.

Licensing and security – Is Betsson trustworthy?

In a word: yes. A gambling company that has been around for nearly 20 years must be trustworthy. There is just no way around it. Sure, gambling sites, online casinos or bookmakers are never without flaws. But rogue operators simply don’t manage to hold out that long.

Betsson has just about every online gambling license that you can get in Europe. Whether they are licensed through the UK, Malta, Sweden, Denmark, Spain or any other country that regulates gambling, Betsson is covered on all bases.

Additionally, the casino and bookmaker enjoys a great reputation in gambling forums and among reviewers in general. They have an outstanding rating on AskGamblers, for instance, where they have accumulated very few complaints.

There have also never been any sanctions, warnings or fines against Betsson from the UKGC, who is notoriously strict.

So, yes, Betsson is definitely trustworthy. It’s a different matter that not all players at Betsson are happy, however. Players who expect to win at gambling and blame it on the casino when they don’t will always complain. We have found that many players from India seem to be quite happy with Betsson, however.

Bonuses, promotions and more

Betsson has its own section where promotions are featured. You’ll usually be able to find something here, even if it may only be the welcome offers available at the casino. Right now, for instance, you can claim a casino welcome bonus of €100 and 101 free spins. Players from India should be able to claim this offer as well as India is not listed among the countries excluded.

As is often the case, deposits via Neteller or Skrill are not eligible for this promotion. The bonus funds need to be wagered 35 times before a withdrawal is possible. You have 30 days to do that. Winnings from free spins must be wagered 25 times, but you only have 3 days to do that.

A sports betting bonus of up to €125 is available on your first two deposits. The bonus funds need to be wagered 10x on odds of 1.5 or higher if you want to withdraw any winnings from it.

New players can also claim an interesting Poker offer worth €2,000 through the Poker client. More information is available once you have registered your Poker alias.

A live casino offer is currently not available. But Betsson frequently has offers for all parts of the casino and sportsbook, whether you are looking for free spins, free bets or cashback offers. You just need to visit the promotions section regularly to find out what’s available.

Games, sportsbook and other products

Betsson has been around so long that they have established themselves as a full-service provider. You’ll find a casino, live casino, sportsbook with in-play better, a separate section for horse racing and a poker network at Betsson.

They don’t offer lotteries or bingo separately, but beyond that everything you could look for in gambling is definitely available here.

Betsson works with a majority of the best gambling providers in the industry, including NetEnt, Yggdrasil Gaming, Red Tiger, Play’n GO, Quickspin, ELK Studios, WMS, Rabcat, Microgaming and dozens of others. You will find more than 1,000 slot games at the casino and a few dozen table games beyond that. Other games include scratch cards and lottery games such as keno or other versions of lotteries.

At the live casino, which is mostly provided by Evolution Gaming, you will also be able to play a few dozen games, including Roulette, Baccarat, Deal or No Deal, Dream Catcher, Casino Poker and Blackjack.

Unfortunately, Andar Bahar or Teen Patti is not currently offered at Betsson. Another weakness in this area is the lack of video poker games. Betsson only offers a handful of those and you have to search for them manually.

One of their specialties, on the other hand, is the Betsson Exclusives, which are dozens of games that you can only play at Betsson.

You will also be able to join the Poker network at Betsson and play at a vast range of tables either instantly in your browser or by downloading the app, which is quite handy. Plenty of tournaments are held here and the Poker network enjoys a long-established reputation, having been around for about 15 years now.

Of course, sports betting fans will also find a home at Betsson. The sportsbook is very-well organized and a joy to browse through. Betsson offers hundreds of markets and thousands of selections in many sports. You can bet on cricket here, horse racing (as already mentioned, there is even a separate section for that) and tennis as well as plenty of football. We couldn’t find Kabaddi betting, however.

Naturally, in-play betting is also available at Betsson and here you can choose among tons of options for current matches.

There’s hardly any form of betting or gambling at Betsson that you won’t find catered to, though they don’t cover all the bases as we have seen.

Banking at Betsson

Wherever you may be at the casino, you have to scroll almost all the way down to the informational links to find a link that takes you to the Payment Options at Betsson. You will actually be redirected to the FAQ and help section, where available deposit and withdrawal methods are listed. All the information you need about banking at Betsson you will find at the FAQ section.

You’ll be able to use credit cards, eWallets, Paysafecard, ecoPayz and bank transfer to make a deposit. However, only upon logging into your account you will see all payment options available to you based on your region.

The same is true for withdrawal options. As far as we can tell, there are no maximum withdrawals per day, week or month. However, there are usually withdrawal limits per transaction, which depend on the method chosen.

Please bear in mind that some payment options may not be available in your country but these are the most common payment methods accepted to make a deposit

Withdrawal requests are generally processed within 24 hours and after that, it depends on your withdrawal method how much that might be.

Of course, there is a KYC (know your customer) process to go through as well and if you get that out of the way before your first withdrawal, you’re on the safe side.

One thing that Betsson doesn’t seem to accept is deposits in Indian rupees. You’ll have to use USD or Euro instead.

Customer service around the clock

Betsson provides their customers with a comprehensive help centre, where you can find almost all the questions answered that you could possibly have. They also provide various guides and in-depth information on their products.

You can always search for topics that interest you and if all else fails, the customer service is available 24/7. You can contact them via live chat, where someone should be with you within 30 seconds at the most. Email responses may take between 30 and 60 minutes and if you need a callback, you may have to wait between 15 and 60 minutes.

The customer service team is exceptionally professional and helpful, and all your queries should be answered to your satisfaction.

Design and mobile play

Betsson has always used orange as a background color and white for the highlights. In some areas, the two colors are inversed, and we get more of a white background and orange as the highlight. The overall impression is quite pleasing and welcoming.

Beyond that, however, Betsson seems to prefer a tidy design. The navigation is very neat, clean and intuitive. The casino and the sportsbook are both very well organized and easy to use even when you’ve never visited a casino or sportsbook before. There are no unnecessary gimmicks and we like the simplicity of the design.

The mobile page is also excellent, providing you with everything you need and offering easy access to all sections of the casino as well as the sportsbook. As we have seen, you can download the Poker client as well and play Poker on the go, if you like.

Conclusion
