Bet365 Casino Review
Although they’ve launched a fresh and new sportsbook, let’s not forget that the United Kingdom born bet365 also has an online casino for players to play with as well.
Via a partnership with Hard Rock Atlantic City, this is what has allowed these bet365 products to come alive in the State of New Jersey. Let’s check out their online casino and see how they stack up against their feisty competition.
Managing your funds is a breeze at bet365 Casino. It has its own branded MasterCard which we found was the easiest way to deposit and withdrawal. In addition, we were able to use methods such as Skrill, PayNearMe and PaySafeCard to get started.
All payments were processed in a timely manner, too, whether you're topping up your account or taking money out. As details are subject to change, please visit bet365 for an up-to-date list of all the payment methods available, including their limits and time frames.
Welcome Bonus
bet365 offered a pretty neat welcome offer during our reviewing process. With a minimum deposit of $20, you may get a 100 percent match up to $1,000 with your initial deposit on bet365’s online casino.
However, to access these bonus funds, you must complete a 20x playthrough of the bonus. This means that if you deposit the minimum $20, you must wager $400 on the site to access the bonus $20. This is on the lower-end for playthrough amounts as we have come across some in the 40x range before.

Desktop/Mobile Experience
Although they have not quite yet launched an iOS counterpart, bet365 is available on both desktop and for Android devices.
To download the Android application, you must visit the site from your device and click the download link. This is not available on the Google Play store.
The site is equipped with a plain, grey background, but for whatever reason, this seems to work perfectly here. There is not a lot of overly crazy graphics that overtake the feel of the site, but they prefer to rather focus on what is important, and that is the games they offer.
Immediately on the site, you will see graphics for games scrolling in a slideshow format. You can click on these to access these games. Just below that, the different game offerings are displayed and act as filters. Upon clicking on your desired game type, they will populate just below that, with their graphic in tow.
Other notable features of the site that are worth mentioning is the “Services” button. This is a drop-down menu with information pertaining to “Help”, “Responsible Gaming”, and lastly, “Banking”. Overall, the site runs incredibly smooth with no delays or long, arduous buffering times.
Game Variety at bet365 Casino
While there is no live casino just yet at bet365, there are still plenty of enticing titles and offers to examine.
- Roulette: American, French, European and Master editions
- Blackjack
- 50+ Bonus Slots
- Over 125 Video Slots
- One Jackpot Slot: Divine Fortune
These game lobbies are all attractive and load in and out properly without any issue. It’s unclear who bet365 has partnered with the to assist in operating these games. Also, there are not any VIP exclusive games yet on bet365 either.
Betting Limits
While bet365 does not explicitly state what their betting limits are, you will be able to easily find out once you arrive into the game lobby of whatever game you choose to play. With so many different titles and offerings, it’s hard to pinpoint an exact range here.
Customer Support
Under the Services button at the top of the page, click the Help button. From here, you will see a link to their contact information page.
Outside of their incredibly comprehensive FAQ section, there are four ways you can reach bet365 for assistance:
- Live chat: Available 24/7
- Phone: Available 24/7
- By mail
It’s not common we see a mailing address displayed this way, but it is another option, albeit one that is not nearly as swift as the other three, but another one nonetheless.
Responsible Gambling Features
Also under the “Services” tab you will find a link to “Responsible Gaming”. Here, the page is really professionally done, laying out not only hotlines and organizations for you to reach out to if you feel you are suffering from a gambling problem, but they have preventative measures you can take on the site as well. These include deposit limits, session limits, spending limits, a time out feature and even self-exclusion if necessary.
The page here alone speaks volumes about how seriously bet365 takes this issue. You will also find the 1-800-GAMBLER hotline throughout the site, too.
Our Verdict
We definitely recommend checking out bet365. Though there is no iOS platform of live dealer games yet, the welcome bonus is appealing and the game offerings they do have will provide a fun experience on the site. bet365 does a nice job of keeping their product casual-friendly, and ultimately, this may end up being their niche audience. A wonderful, yet simple casino to check out indeed.
