Bet365 Casino Review

Bet365 Casino was launched in 2001 in the United Kingdom and its founder Denise Coates is probably the only gambling industry person to be knighted. You can judge the integrity with which Bet365 operates from this. Canadian players can now gamble at the online casino and we take you through the games, promotions, banking and other aspects in this review.

Comprehensive Bet365 Casino Review

Bonuses and promotions

Bet365 operates two portals for slots – Casino and Games. Please check both for promotions.  

Welcome Bonus Package

The offer on the first deposit consists of a match bonus and free spins as well. Make a deposit of C$20 or more and select the Claim box. If you fail to do this no bonus will be awarded against this deposit, but you can make a claim when you deposit again. You will be given a bonus that is 100% of the deposit, subject to a maximum of C$500. The 50 free spins will be awarded after the bonus wagering.

The exact sequence of steps is as follows.

• Wager the deposit and the bonus 10x on your favourite slot games to cash out. You will be hard pressed to find more lenient wagering requirements at Canadian online casinos. 
• The wagering has to be completed within 30 days.
• After completing the wagering (even if your bonus balance falls to zero midway) you will get 50 free spins on a selection of popular video slots. 
• You will have to accept the free spins offer and use it within 7 days.
• The welcome package at Bet365 Casino is subject to change. Please check the current offer at the casino website before signing up.

Deposits and Withdrawals

The banking section at the Bet365 Casino website is one of the best that we have come across. Select Canada and C$ from the dropdown lists and all the payment options available will be displayed in a table with complete information on fees, processing times, and limits.

Deposits

Canadian players can pick from different types of deposit options that include:

• Credit cards: Visa, MasterCard
• Debit cards: Visa Electron, Maestro
• Web wallet: Instadebit, PayPal
• Prepaid cards: Paysafecard
• Bank transfer: Interac

Bet365 Casino does not charge any fees and the deposits are credited instantly.

Withdrawals

Bet365 Casino does not charge any fee for withdrawals.

We summarise the important withdrawal conditions here. Please read and understand the full terms at the Bet365 Casino website. 

• You may be asked to resubmit KYC documents. 
• Bet365 Casino does not impose any maximum limits on withdrawals, but different payment options will have their limits that range from C$10,000 to C$50,000. 

Bet365 Casino App and Mobile Gaming

Bet 365 casino apps for iOS and Android mobile devices are available and can be downloaded from the respective app stores. This will allow Canadian players to place real money bets on all the slot games while on the move. The apps have full functionality, which means you can load and withdraw funds, claim bonuses, seek assistance from customer support without recourse to desktops. The quality of the gaming will be as good, in spite of the smaller screen size of the mobile devices and the level of security will be as good.

However, the desktop and the mobile platforms will share a common account with the same username and password. If you are not an app person, you can still play all these slot games on your smartphone by accessing the bet 365 website from your device.

Safety and Fair Gaming at Bet365

One of the concerns of Canadian players is whether the outcomes of the slot games are truly random and free from manipulation by the casino. In order to allay these fears Bet365 Casino has its random number generator checked and certified by Gaming Laboratories International, an internationally recognised and respected Accredited Testing Facility.   

To provide full transparency, the agency also audits all bets placed at Bet365 Casino to verify the percentage payouts. The tests are carried out monthly and the certificates posted at the website for all Canadian players to view. Each new slot game is also put through similar rigorous tests before it is released at the website.

The safety concerns are about the banking transactions and the players’ personal information on the servers of the online casino. Bet365 addresses these issues by employing the latest SSL encryption protocols and strong firewalls.

Responsible Gambling

We only recommend online casinos that are responsible gambling compliant to our Canadian readers. Bet365 casino offers a responsible gambling policy that can be considered exemplary. Spend some time and go through it in detail. 

• Your past gaming history is saved at the online casino and you should periodically review this to assess if you are gambling more than before.
• You can set maximum deposit limits and you will be prevented from depositing larger amounts.
• You can also set up maximum loss limits and you will be prevented from wagering once these limits are reached.
• The reality check facility allows you to specify the duration of a session, at the end of which you will first be reminded and then automatically logged out.
• If you feel that you are not in control of your gambling you can take time out from the casino for a period lasting up to six months and you can self exclude for longer periods.

We advise that, while you can take time out or self exclude, you should simultaneously seek professional help. These are reputed institutions working with problem gamblers in Canada: Responsible Gambling Council (RGC), Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Gambling Therapy, Gamblers Anonymous, GamTalk or call RGC directly at 1-800-522-4700. You may also read more information at our Responsible Gambling page.
