GP Spotlight: Betfair Casino and the Zero Lounge

Frequent visitors to GamblingPlanet will probably notice that we’ve recently added Betfair Casino to our list of top online casinos. Now, the addition of a new casino to our listings is certainly nothing out of the ordinary – here at GamblingPlanet we strive to make sure to provide our visitors and users everywhere the most up-to-date reviews and comprehensive information on industry developments. Since the addition of Betfair to our site, we’ve received several emails asking for more details on this new offering and its popular ‘Zero Lounge’. Accordingly, we’ve decided – and we admit, it’s a bit unusual for us to do so – to go a step further and answer your calls for more information on this new arrival as well as detail some of the exciting developments occurring at the moment with regard to this casino.

Indeed, we were very happy to add Betfair to our lists as we have thoroughly enjoyed our experiences there thus far and believe the brand’s entrance into the online casino realm is fantastic for the industry as a whole. For those of you who may not be aware, the Betfair brand has become synonymous with quality and has provided punters and gambling enthusiasts a great platform for making bets on anything from sports to politics. Betfair has even distinguished itself in this regard by being one of the first establishments in which bettors wager against each other rather than the House. Breaking into the online casino world wouldn’t be easy, but by again distinguishing itself right from the get-go with a unique and rather revolutionary offering, Betfair is already making waves.

If you haven’t checked it out already, be aware that Betfair's Casino is a flash-based destination and no download is required. However, if you’re thinking this might mean a slower or more superficial offering, think again: the flash software is amazing and the games execute fast and reliably. To be honest, we wouldn’t expect less from such a well-established brand.

Although, what did surprise us – and perhaps many others in the online gambling community as well – was Betfair’s ‘Zero Lounge’. In addition to the main lobby where all of your traditional casino games are found, Betfair has taken an unprecedented move and created another ‘lounge’ where a handful of popular casino games are available and all of which feature a ZERO house edge! Yes, that’s right, an area where the games have 100% returns to the players: a roulette table with no zero, a blackjack table that pays out 2 - 1 on a suited natural Blackjack instead of 1.5 – 1, the best Baccarat game in the world, and a Jacks or Better video poker game that pays out 22% more for a Royal Flush than anywhere else in the world. This fantastic concept is really reason enough for any online casino enthusiast to drop by and check out this casino.

Speaking of which, GamblingPlanet is happy to report that our users can actually now take advantage of an exclusive offer, in addition to the standard 100% up to £50 signup deal, of a free no-strings-attached £5 to check out the amazing zero house edge games at Betfair Casino! If that wasn’t enough, their March promotion offers lucky players a chance to win 12 fantastic prizes including Nintendo Wii Consoles, £100 Amazon Gift Vouchers and £100 worth of withdrawable casino credits. There will be a total of 12 prizes randomly picked for players who wager £25 in Betfair Casino throughout the four weeks in March 2008. Three players each week will win the above prizes.

As you can see, there’s plenty of reason to check out this newly profiled GamblingPlanet favourite. Betfair Casino has taken the online casino world by storm with its revolutionary Zero Lounge and we’re already huge fans. If you’d like to learn more about Betfair Casino, we encourage you not only to read our full review, but to also check out this place for yourself. As we said, we’ve really enjoyed our experiences there thus far and think it’s great to have a bit of variety in the online casino community.
