They call themselves “the bonus king” and we can see why that is; BetFred is currently offering up to €500 in matching deposits to new online casino players. BetFred casino will match 100% of your first deposit up to €200 and the play through requirement is only 20 times your deposit plus the bonus; they will then also match 50% of your second deposit up to €200 (€100 bonus) with a play through requirement of only 10 times your deposit plus bonus and then again on your third deposit. Unfortunately Roulette, Craps or Baccarat do not count towards the play through requirements and Blackjack only counts for 20% but this fairly normal for bonus arrangements. BetFred is not the best known bookmaker or online casino in Ireland but they have been around since 1967 and the online casino has operated since 2005; the casino has a very complete range of games with all the usual roulette and blackjack variations plus some more unusual skill games such as Gin Rummy and 3 card brag both of which can be played head to head. BetFred also has a very good Backgammon site where you can test your skill against other players and they also run a worthwhile loyalty scheme which produces even more deposit matching opportunities. If you are into the TV games you can find deal or no deal and if you are old enough to remember “Bullseye” you can test your general knowledge as well. BetFred uses the Playtech software for the slots offering so you can find the Marvel characters such as Incredible Hulk and X-men and of course some very good progressive jackpots. The site also contains an excellent selection of lotteries and bingo games so although BetFred might not be that well known they are certainly worth a look at.
