Betsson has more than five decades of history, starting off as Cherry to The Betsson Group of today. Both Net Entertainment and Cherry launched their first casinos in 2000 and in 2002 respectively, while Betsson was officially launched online. Over these glorious years, Betsson evolved into more than just a casino. For gamblers, it is paradise filled with goodies – a Poker Room, a Sportsbook, Online Bingo, Live Casino, and Scratch Card games. The Betsson Group is a Swedish giant that is publicly traded on the OMX Nordic Stock Exchange.

Casino Software and Gaming Assortment

5.0/5

Software

As you may have seen in other Betsson reviews, the multi-faceted platform is home to games from a plethora of software providers. Primarily backed by Net Entertainment, the site has plenty of games from Quickspin, Microgaming Quickfire, WMS, Leander, WMG Gaming and IGT. We like online casinos backed by multiple software providers since there is a large pool of the casino games to be enjoyed. There is great variety with everything from slots and table games to keno, bingo and live dealer games at Betsson. With regards to the live dealer games here, they are powered by Evolution Gaming. There is also a dedicated poker room on the site that is powered by Microgaming.

The Betsson software and games run smoothly on your web browser without lag. There isn't any software to be downloaded since NetEnt offers fantastic instant play experiences. Betsson is a no-download casino where all the games can be played in instant-play mode. Mac and Linux users therefore do not have to worry about resorting to Windows emulators to play on this platform. Regardless of whether you have Windows, Mac or Linux, updated Flash software and the latest browser are all you need to have a good time.

The software at Betsson Casino is of the highest quality and this is evident once you start playing games and placing wagers. The website is clearly laid out, providing gamblers with easy access to the Casino, Live Casino, Poker, Sportsbook, Games, Scratch Card games, Bingo and Promotions, with just a glance. The Casino lobby is complete with entertaining flash games from NetEnt, Microgaming and other providers.

At Betsson Casino, we also found a selection of casino games in a mini format, both for real money play or free play.

These mini games include Boss The Lotto, Diamond Deal, Red Card, Gears of Fortune, Magic, Epic Gems, Blackjack Mini and Star Ticket.

The following range of games is available in the live casino – Live Blackjack, Live Roulette, Live Baccarat, Live Casino Hold'em, and Live Ultimate Texas Hold'em.

4.3/5
eCogra Security Badge (EN)

With Betsson being such a reputable platform, it comes as no surprise that it adopts state-of-the-art security measures. By using state-of-the-art SSL Encryption technology (Verisign SSL), all your bank information and credit card details are encrypted and thus, secured from theft. Betsson is also PCI-compatible and meets high security standards with regards to payments, even on the Betsson app.

As far as the fairness of the games is concerned, Betsson uses the Random Number Generator (RNG). The RNG has been independently tested by two reputable testing firms, Technical Systems Testing in Canada and the National Laboratory of Forensic Science in Sweden. Their tests prove that Betsson's real money and free games are genuinely fair. Betsson Casino is licensed by the strict Malta Gaming Authority, which is alone enough to assure that there is no foul play involved in their gaming.

We found Betsson to have a variety of tools in place to help problem gamers cope with their gambling addiction. Certain self-help tools include setting gaming budgets, timing out from a gambling account for a certain period, blocking games such poker, and taking a Gamtest. Moreover, Betsson is certified by the Global Gambling Guidance Group (G4) and its employees have received appropriate responsible gaming trainings.

As you play along, you earn VIP Points and progress up the ladder to win Betsson Points, which can be exchanged for cash. You can even use them to play games at Betsson.
