Betano Review

Rating: 4.8/5

Betano is a well known and well respected international brand. Their new for 2024 UK site is managed by BetVictor. The welcome offer is particularly great if you’re a fan of live casino game shows.

About Betano

The international version of Betano is owned and run by Kaizen Gaming International, a well respected and multi award winning international sportsbook provider and operator that has a Malta licence. The new UK site is not the same as the international version – it’s managed by BV Gaming under much the same arrangement as BetVictor have with another international brand, Parimatch. This has enabled Betano to have a fully regulated UK presence without having to obtain a UK licence in its own right – and just in time to accept UK players who are watching the Euros and see the Betano name (they are an official sponsor).

One idiosyncracy of the Betano site is that if you visit the site with a large screen device you’ll see a sidebar with a range of minigames – Crazy Time, Big Bass Splash and a couple of other slot games, roulette and blackjack – that can be played from the sportsbook part of the site as well as from the casino.

Games At Betano

The Casino lobby at Betano has an absolutely massive selection of slot games and there are many ways to find games you might like to play. For example, if you’re interested in progressive jackpots your first port of call should be the Jackpots lobby tab, where you’ll fnd Mega Moolah, IGT Megajackpots, Dream Drop, WowPot and others. If you’re specifically after Jackpot King or Red Tiger’s daily jackpots, you’re in luck; there are so many of each of these slot suites that they have their own lobby tabs. Still more jackpots including Age of the Gods and PowerPlay can be found in the Vegas tab which is for Playtech slot games.

Betano also has lobby tabs for each of the slots promotions that are currently running (Drops & Wins plus a few others) so it’s easy to see which games you need to play to qualify.

The casino home page has even more games categories including Slingo, the Classics (Immortal Romance, Bonanza, Book of Dead etc), Megaways and Best of 2024. And of course, there’s a New tab for the latest games.

If you still haven’t found anything to play on the casino home page, you can also browse through everything on the All Slots tab or use the search box which starts to show results when you’ve typed in just one character. There’s also “Categories” which lets you filter the games by features (Megaways, Link & Win etc), by theme (Fish, Book, Egypt etc), by providers or any combination thereof.

The Casino part of the lobby also has areas for Tables (non live dealer casino games) and Instant Win (scratchcards, keno, Lucky Tap etc).

The Live Casino lobby at Betano has one of the widest ranges of live casino games you’ll find anywhere, with roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker and game shows by Evolution, Playtech, Pragmatic Play, On Air Entertainment and Authentic Gaming. There’s so much variety that “Categories” has been enabled here too so if, for example, you’d like to see all the wheel based game shows in one place you can.

Other Considerations

BV Gaming managed sites are amongst the safest and most trustworthy for UK players. They have the highest possible rating for both player funds protection and safer gambling.

The only slight area of weakness at Betano is payment methods – essentially, you’re obliged to use a debit card either directly or via Apple Pay.

When claiming the welcome offer, be aware that it comes in two instalments and you will need to complete the wagering on the slot bonus before you can start playing with the live casino bonus.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a new place to play slots and live casino and also bet on sports, Betano with its great range of games and promotions and very appealing welcome offer is a strong contender.

Safer Gambling Provision

Betano has a Safer Gambling Portal which is linked from the main menu as well as the site footer. It’s really nicely put together and extremely comprehensive.

First, there’s the safer gambling tools. There’s a section on Time Management which includes information about gaming time reminders (aka Reality Check), time out and self exclusion and also explains what will happen to your personal data if you close your account completely. The Account Information section explains how Account Overview and Profit and Loss Overview work and why you should use them and also includes information about Product Restriction (e.g. block yourself from sports betting but keep access to the casino).

Next comes information about account ID and age verification and affordability checks, explaining the why as well as the what.

Then there’s “Get in touch” which gives several ways to contact the Safer Gambling team (live chat, email, callback) and has links to the FAQ at the Betano Help Centre, outside sources of help, advice and tools such as Betblocker, and their own piece on Betting:Myths & Facts.

And that’s not all! There’s a section on Friends & Family with a direct link to Gamcare, an interactive self assessment test and last but not least, the “Our Commitment” statement which lays out BV Gaming’s corporate strategy on safer gambling and introduces their Sentinel safer gambling software.

All of this is presented in easily digestible chunks with lots of cross linking so it’s easy to find safer gambling information in a hurry. BV Gaming Limited was awarded Safer Gambling Standard accreditation at Advanced Level 3, the highest possible, before the accreditation scheme was discontinued at the end of 2024.
