BetFred is one of the largest bookmakers in the UK and Ireland and was established in 1967 by two brothers Fred and Pater Done when they opened their first betting shop in Salford, England. Since these small beginnings they have developed the business and now have a turnover in excess of £1.5 billion. The first foray away from betting shops was in 2002 when a telephone betting service was established followed in 2004 by online betting. Although the origins of the company are sports betting, online casino, games and poker have all been established since 2005 and bingo since 2006 and are operated from Gibraltar.

This is a very large trustworthy company offering all that you might expect from an online gambling site and we are pleased to be able to offer it to you. You should already know the name as they are sponsors of snooker as well as being the official online gaming partner for Wembley Stadium. They have a number of claims to fame which include being the first to offer “best price” guarantees which are now available in most bookmakers and were the first to offer 610/1 for three correct numbers on the Irish lotto.

One of the most serious concerns of all internet players is security and with Betfred you need have no worries. Their security is operated by SSL( Secure Socket Layer) which is verified by top security firm Verisign and they are licensed in Gibraltar according to their strict requirements as are many others. To ensure fair gaming the servers are operated by Playtech NV which are also a well known provider.

Betfred offers either instant or download casino but the choice of games is greater on download and also live dealer action is available. If you are into table games there is also a private table feature where you can play with your friends without interference from other players.

Registration is easy and download of the casino only takes a couple of minutes. From there you can access a huge variety of games including the Irish Lottery as well as Canadian, Spanish and German ones if you so wish. Betfred offers slots from the Marvel range including Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. The choice of slots may not be as great as some of its rivals but the graphics are clear and there is plenty to choose from and as with other larger bookmakers you have the opportunity to switch between a full range of sports betting, poker, casino, lottery etc at the click of a button. A worthy addition to our range of recommended online gaming.
