Welcome bonuses at Betfred

Betfred is not one of the best known bookmakers in Ireland, but following the acquisition of the UK Tote this year Betfred is now well positioned as one of the top four in the UK. For online casino gamblers in Ireland however, the absence of betting shops is not usually a huge factor in their choice of online casino. Betfred launched their online casino in 2005, and have since established a reputation for offering some of the most generous welcome bonuses available, often referring to themselves as Betfred the Bonus King. Currently, Betfred are offering new online casino gamblers welcome bonuses of up to £500 ( or Euros ), with not excessive play through terms. The first deposit is matched with a 100% bonus up to £200, with a play through requirement of 20 times the deposit plus bonus before any money can be taken from the account. There are however two things new casino gamblers who want to take advantage of this bonus should take into account. Firstly that stakes on some casino games such as blackjack and roulette do not count 100% towards the play through requirement, and secondly that the bonus offer expires after 10 days. As usual, online gamblers should always read the terms and conditions before accepting any bonus offer. Nevertheless, if casino gamblers are happy with these conditions Betfred also offer a 50% bonus on the second deposit up to £200, and even a 50% bonus on the third deposit up to £100, both with a 15 times deposit plus bonus play through requirement. Welcome bonuses do not suit every online casino gambler, particularly if they only play the discounted contribution games such as roulette and blackjack, but if the terms and conditions suit the way you want to play online casino games, Betfred appear to offer pretty good welcome bonuses and are definitely worth considering when choosing an online casino.
