admin — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 08:47:15 +0000

One of the quirkiest online casinos around is operated by BetFred casino and this is still believed to be the largest independent bookmaker being owned by a couple of brothers. In Ireland BetFred casino does not exist on the high street but in the UK they operate over 750 shops and the online casino operation is licensed like so many others in Gibraltar. Casino Betfred is comparatively new to the online market as although the bookmaking side of the businesss has been in existence since 1967 Betfred casino online was not launched until 2005. Betfred is nevertheless a very well respected name and the fact that it has no physical presence in Ireland should not prevent you from having full confidence in the operation. Betfred offers a full range of casino games including poker, bingo, lottos (including the Irish Lotto) as well as the renown sportsbook operation.

Betfred casino and sportsbook not only offers casino bonuses for new players but always has a variety of special offers for everyone so it is worthwhile keeping your eyes on the site. Recent offers include such things as money back on your golf bet if your player finishes second to Tiger Woods or €15 of free Betfred casino chips if you place a €50 bet on the World Cup.

BetFred casino bonuses for sign up are currently up to €500 in 3 stages; stage one is a 100% match on your first deposit up to €200, stage two is a 50% match bonus up to €200 and stage three is a 50% match bonus of up to €100. These offers have the usual play through requirements but the Betfred casino requirements are quite generous in that the first deposit bonus need only be played through 20 times and second and third bonuses only 10 times which is very competitive. You could do a lot worse than play at Betfred casino and benefit from some unusual offers that will keep you coming back.

Cruise to the Caribbean with BetFred Bingo

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 08:13:51 +0000

Do you play Bingo and do you fancy a Caribbean Cruise? If you answer yes to both of those then BetFred is the place to be. In a rather unique promotion BetFred is offering 3 all inclusive cruise packages, each for two people, on a weeklong cruise from Miami to Mexico and on to the Caribbean and back to Miami onboard the Carnival Cruise ship “Liberty”. If you have already been on a cruise you will know the luxury that surrounds you, the magnificence of the food, which of course is all included, and you will also know that Bingo is one of the most popular pastimes on board with $000s in prizes and guess what; all the entry money for the onboard games is included in the package. You don’t even have to find your own way to Miami as the package also includes air fares from most European airports. These are also not bottom of the pile cabins (or staterooms as they prefer to call them), they are category B with balconies so if you fancy watching the sun go down over a Caribbean island with your favourite tipple, there is only one place to be. Enough of the prizes; let’s look at how you can win one of them. At the end of each month there are special “cruise” games playing from 10:00am to 11:00am in “Cloud Nine”, 2:00pm to 3:00pm in the “Velvet Lounge”, 6:00pm to 7:00pm in the “Royal Court” and 9:00pm to 10:00pm in the “Barmy Club” and all you have to do is buy as many tickets as you can. Each month the top 20 players will go through to the final to be played in June and the 3 players who win the most games in that final receive the cruise packages; simple as that. The cruise runs from the 6th to the 13th of November so get the date in your diary and get your passport sorted and register at BetFred Bingo and if you are new to BetFred they will even give a bonus to start with.

Betfred added to our recommended list

admin — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:30:56 +0000

In keeping with our efforts to keep our Irish online casino players up to date and in a safe gambling environment we are pleased to announce that we have added one more casino to our recommended list and that is Betfred. Betfred can hardly be called new as they have been in existence since 1967 as a bookmaker and since 2004 in online betting and are one of the largest bookmaking groups around with a turnover in excess of €1.5 billion; they have a good array of betting opportunities including a full range of sports betting as well as casino, poker, lotteries etc.

Security is guaranteed by the use of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) which is certified by Verisign, one of the best known online security firms, and the software is provided by Playtech another well known name. Slots include those offered by Marvel which include such famous names as Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. On the casino side there is the option of download or instant but we have tried the download and it only takes a couple of minutes. Registration is quick and easy and you can deposit using a variety of methods including debit cards, credit cards, neteller, paypal, moneybookers etc.

Betfred is registered and operates under the laws of Gibraltar as are many others and is the official online gaming partner for Wembly Stadium. With this background and having tried them ourselves on your behalf we are pleased to be able to add them to our list. Just because you live in Ireland does not mean you have to restrict yourself to an Irish online casino; most casinos including Betfred will operate your account in Euro or indeed in any other currency you like. Give them a try and see if you agree with us.
