Betsson Casino - bonus, review & our test results

How good is Betsson Casino's deposit bonus if you deposit USD 1,000?

We wanted to answer the question "Which deposit bonus is the best?" and therefore conducted two large tests. To determine which bonus was the best, we created a mathematical formula that calculates the value of an offer after bonus conditions and wagering requirements have been met. The test results are a measure we call "actual bonus value" which we abbreviate as "ABV". The calculations have been adjusted for both high rollers and beginners by first testing the value of a 1,000 kronor deposit, and then a 200 kronor deposit. Here are the results for Betsson.com.

Betsson Casino's bonus ranks 47th out of 121 for bonuses on a 1,000 kronor deposit. They land in the upper half of the list, but they are a bit away from the top. Their bonus provides an actual bonus value (ABV) of 79 kronor after the wagering requirements, which can be compared to the average at saferonlinegambling.org, which is 235 kronor. A decent result, but not very impressive.

Test results – Bonus for USD 1,000 deposit

Winner: 888 Casino , FBV: USD 934
In 47th place: Betsson Casino, FBV: USD 79.00
Average for all casinos: USD 235

How good is Betsson Casino's bonus if you deposit USD 200?

Betsson Casino performs better in our test for deposits of 200 USD compared to deposits of 1,000 USD. The bonus of 100% up to 500 USD plus 100 free spins in the game Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead at a minimum deposit of 100 USD provides more percentage value for small deposits than for large ones.

For deposits of 200 USD, Betsson Casino's bonus ranks 46th out of 121. They are in the upper half of the list, but still far from the top. Their bonus offers a FBV of 39 USD, which can be compared to the average at saferonlinegambling.org, which is 94 USD. A decent result, but nothing fantastic.

Customer service is a very important part of the casino experience. As a player, it is very difficult to know if the customer service is good or bad at different casinos without testing them all yourself. Suddenly, the problem arises, and if the customer service is slow and poor, it easily leads to frustration.

We have tested the customer service at all the casinos on saferonlinegambling.org to see which ones are the fastest and best.

How quickly does Betsson Online Casino respond to emails?

Betsson Casino is one of the fastest casinos on saferonlinegambling.org when it comes to customer service via email and ranks fourth out of 121. In our tests, their average response time is 23 minutes. That is over 7 hours faster than the average for all casinos on saferonlinegambling.org, which is over 7 hours. A really good result.

To get the best possible casino experience, it is important to have a large selection of slots and games. The more games you can choose from, the more variety. As a player, it is difficult to know how large a casino's selection is. At first glance, all casinos have many games, but which one has the most? We have counted and compiled the entire selection from Betsson.com and all other casinos on saferonlinegambling.org and compared them for you.

How big is Betsson online casino's game selection?

In United Kingdom, practically all online casinos have a large selection of games, and this also applies to Betsson Online Casino. In total, there are 1924 game options to choose from, which can be compared to the average at casinos on saferonlinegambling.org, which is 1778. You will likely find both old favorites and new favorites here.

In addition to the regular casino, Betsson has an almost complete range of games. Here you will find live casino, odds, live betting, poker and horse betting. The only thing you can't play here is fantasy sports or bingo.

When we tally up the number of casino games and their other gaming options, Betsson ranks 35th out of 121 in our compilation of the game offerings at casinos on saferonlinegambling.org. Definitely an acceptable result, but no gold star.

It is easy to become restless while a slow website is loading. Unfortunately, it is difficult to know if a casino loads quickly or slowly if you have not played there yourself. Our solution has been to regularly test all casinos and then inform you about the results.

How fast does Betsson.com load?

Betsson.com was the fastest of all casinos in our tests. On average, each page loads in 0.23 seconds, so fast that you don't even notice it when you click. It is 2.05 seconds faster than the average for all casinos in the test, which is 2.28 seconds.

Here you can see the rest of all the results in the test.

In the long run, you will always lose in casino games. This is because the gaming companies have a profit margin in their favor in all games. In most casino games, they set their own profit margin. Betsson Casino has set its profit margin low, which means you will have a greater chance of winning here than at most casinos.

We have listed 16 of United Kingdom's most played slots and compared the RTP*.

Average RTP at Betsson: 96.52%
Average RTP as the best in UK: 96.53%

The casino's profit margin at Betsson: 3.48%
Lowest average profit margin in UK: 3.47%
Difference between Betsson and the best: 0.01%

0.01% difference is not much. Here, your money will last longer than at most casinos.

*What is RTP and profit margin?

The abbreviation RTP stands for Return To Player and is important to understand when playing slots. RTP is often around 96%, which means that on average, 96% of the money wagered on each spin goes towards winnings, and on average, the casino wins 4% (their profit margin).

On most slots, the casinos themselves can control how much of the bet should go to winnings (RTP) and how big the casino's profit margin should be.

The lower the RTP figure sets, the higher the profit margin for the betting company. The bigger the casino's margin, the worse chance we players have of winning.

So, even though you play the exact same game, you will have a lower chance of winning on certain casino sites, and a higher chance on others. If you want to read more, all the information is available in the terms and conditions on Betsson.com and other casinos.

How did we count?

In order to compare which casino offers the greatest chance of winning, we have selected 16 of United Kingdom's most popular casino games and compared the RTP on these.

Betsson has 16 of the 16 popular casino games (list below). Betsson has on average set the RTP on these slots to 96.52%, which means that their casino's profit margin on these games is 3.48%.

If we compare with the country's best RTP on these games, the average is 96.53%, in which case the casinos only have their own profit margin of 3.47%.

3.48% is only slightly higher than 3.47%. Here, the money lasts longer than at most online casinos.

If you want to find the online casinos with the highest RTP, you can click on any slot below, and you will be taken to a list of gaming sites that have the best RTP on that particular game.

Which games have we compared?

Betsson has performed impressively in our tests and is a very good casino. The website loads extremely quickly. They have a gigantic selection of casino games. The customer service is among the fastest. Unfortunately, they basically offer no bonuses at all for new customers.

After each test, a "grade" is awarded based on how good the result is from a user perspective, as well as a "ranking" based on the position the casino has achieved in relation to other gaming companies. One star is the lowest grade and five stars is the highest grade.

According to the above, we have then added up all the ratings and results for Betsson Casino and compared them to other casinos.

Test of casino bonuses

We have tested the bonus from Betsson Casino in three different ways. 200 USD deposit, 1000 USD deposit, and maximum bonus deposit, then we see how good the bonus is for each variant. The tests have been named FBV200, FBV1000, and FBVmax. FBV or "Actual Bonus Value" refers to the value of a bonus when taking into account rules and wagering requirements.

If you deposit USD 200:
FBV: USD 39.10
Result: 46 out of 121
Stars: 2.00 out of 5

If you deposit USD 1,000:
FBV: USD 78.70
Result: 47 out of 121
Stars: 1.50 out of 5

If you receive the maximum bonus (USD 500):
FBV: USD 78.70
Result: 47 out of 121
Stars: 1.50 out of 5

When we add up the total ranking, we combine the grades and results from all three bonus tests into one:

Total rating casino bonuses:
Result: 43 out of 121
Stars: 1.7 out of 5

Test of customer service

We have done two tests on Betsson Casino's customer service. Partly how quickly they respond to emails, partly how quickly they respond to live chat. In the test for live chat, we have also taken into account the chat's opening hours.

Result: 4 out of 121
Stars: 5.0 out of 5

Live chat opening hours: 24 hours per day
Live chat response time: 1 minute and 25 seconds

Stars: 5.0 out of 5

In the overall ranking, we combine both customer service tests and get the numbers:
