Betfair Casino

Betfair is a pretty unique casino. Well-known for its sportsbetting operations, it has recently added a casino offering with a twist. It is the only casino we know which has zero blackjack among its games. This means that you can play blackjack (and three other games - baccarat, zero jacks or better and roulette) with a zero house percentage. No house edge means that you have a better chance of showing a profit than at any other casino. Zero blackjack pays odds of 2 to 1 for a hand of blackjack.

In addition to zero blackjack and the other games in the zero lounge, Betfair offers 40 regular casino games, including blackjack, European blackjack, lucky 7 blackjack and single deck blackjack.

You can choose between playing for fun (where only an e-mail registration is required) and playing for real money. Betfair requires no software download because games are played in pop-up browser windows - so make sure your pop-up blockers are turned off.

The site is clean and easy to navigate. To make you feel welcome, Betfair offers some good promotions, for example cash-back points (one point for every £500 wagered, no matter whether you win or lose), as well as blackjack strategy tips. However, it would be helpful if these could be assembled in one strategy section - at the moment you have to look for them in different articles in the news section. On the other hand, Betfair offers a useful help menu, including an explanation of blackjack rules, once you are at the table.

Customer service is available via e-mail and phone (no freephone though).

Overall, Betfair is a great new offer which really stands out due to its Zero Lounge games. Give it a try!
