Betsson Review

Full Review

Does the name Betsson sound Nordic to you? Well, that’s no coincidence: Betsson is an online gambling company with Nordic origins. One of the biggest one on the market. It offers its players sports betting services, casino and live casino games, online poker and ‘soft games’, bingo – on desktop and mobile devices. It is one of the ‘full service’ operators I appreciate so much.

History

Betsson was founded by two Swedish entrepreneurs – Henrik Bergquist and Anders Holmgren – in 2025. They have started developing their project in that year, and got their London gambling license one year later. In 2025 Betsson extended to the Finnish and German market and launched its online casino (with just 20 games at the time). In 2025 Betsson entered the Norse and Czech market, as well, and launched its online poker room. Three years after its launch in London they have reached 500.000 customers.

In the next few years Betsson has expanded further – Turkey, Iceland, Denmark – and has launched its first mobile solutions. By 2025 it has reached 1 million customers, and it continues to grow – faster than the market, as their website says.

Services

As I mentioned before, Betsson is a ‘full service’ online gambling operator, covering about everything online gambling means today: sports betting, casino and soft games (including live casino games), online poker, scratch cards and bingo, both on desktop and mobile devices.

Sportsbook

Betsson offers over 4,000 betting channels through its sports betting platform, with odds that are as attractive as they can be. Players can place both pre-game and in-game bets – actually Betsson is one of the pioneers of in-game betting, being one of the first sportsbooks to launch this kind of services. Besides sports, it also covers more unconventional markets like politics and entertainment, and even Pesäpallo, or Finnish baseball, the national sport of Finland.

New players at the Betsson sportsbook are rewarded with a first deposit bonus – unlike at many of their competitors, that either don’t have a welcome package at the sports betting section, or it consists of cashback on the players’ first bet. Betsson offers its new players a 100% match on their first deposit of at least £10, up to £25, with a wagering requirement of 10x at odds of at least 1.5 (better than most). There are restrictions, terms and conditions applying to this bonus – click here to find out more.

Betsson offers its players the chance to bet on their mobile devices by using their native apps for both of the most popular mobile platforms: iPhone OS and Android. The Betsson mobile betting app allows players to place bets on their favorite sports or have fun with the casino side games included in the package.

Casino

Betsson’s online casino has over 150 great games listed on it, developed by the Swedish (of course) company Net Entertainment (NetEnt). This developer is best known for its high quality games and generous payouts.

Betsson offers its players the latest games launched by the developer, including their latest title – Aliens – based on the successful movie and video game franchise owned by Fox. Some of the slots available through the Betsson casino bear the promise of a huge win – a progressive jackpot of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, that can change the player’s life forever – Hall of Gods, for example, has had a £4.7 million jackpot at the time of writing this article.

Betsson, through its NetEnt casino, offers some of the most beautiful slot machines to its customers, but not just that: it has every game a modern online casino needs, including table games like Pontoon, Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat, Betsson classics like Mr. Toad, Cowboy Treasure or Gem Drop, keno, scratch cards, video poker games and more. Visit the Betsson casino for a complete list.

Besides great games, Betsson also offers its casino players the chance to participate in casino tournaments, casino races and promotions worth visiting for.

Speaking of promotions: Betsson offers a 100% match on the players’ first deposit of at least £10, up to a total of £100, so players can start to play with even more funds for even more fun. The bonus has wagering requirements – 35 times in the next 30 days – and other terms and conditions that you can find out more about here. After passing through the welcome bonus, more promotions await – daily casino treats, special offers and more.

Live Casino

Betsson’s live casino section is also powered by Net Entertainment, offering its players a truly immersive, lifelike gaming experience. Players can choose one of the three classic casino games in their offer: blackjack, roulette or baccarat – each one against attractive, young dealers.

The Betsson live casino doesn’t offer a welcome bonus, but gives them the chance to get one of the several special rewards cards hidden in the decks at the Blackjack table every Tuesday. Click here to find out more.

Games

This section has another bunch of great games – mostly casino games – built by other developers, for even more fun and games – and wins. Many of the games available through this section give players the chance to win special progressive jackpots.

Among the games in this section you can find slots, table games like blackjack, roulette or craps, virtual sports, football games, and fun games – bingo, keno, hi-lo guess games and others.

Scratch cards

These games of chance have a completely separate category at Betsson, with over 50 scratch cards to choose from.

Bingo

A popular game in the UK and other countries in Europe, Betsson’s bingo hall offers the usual: lots of bingo rooms, many casino side games, a fine welcome bonus  – 100% on the first deposit up to £30 – and lots of fun.

Poker

Betsson actually has two separate poker rooms: one using Microgaming’s software, part of the MPN network, and another one powered by OnGame, part of the OnGame poker network. This means twice as many players, twice as many tournaments to take part in, and – of couse – double the fun.

Each poker room has its own games, promotions and bonuses – click here to find out more.

Mobile

Betsson is one of those online gambling operators that considers mobile to be the ‘next big thing’. As such, they offer their players the possibility to take sports betting and casino games with them wherever they go.

The Betsson app, available for iOS and Android – powered devices, allows players to bet on the go – even i-game – and play great NetEnt casino games wherever they want.

Besides sports bets and casino games, Betsson also offers its players the chance to play online poker on their iOS – powered mobile devices (according to their website, an Android version will soon follow). For the time being only the Microgaming- powered poker room has a mobile version.

Conclusion

Betsson has one of the most impressive websites and set of services of the many similar online operators I have visited. It covers whatever you can think of in online gambling, and most of its services are also available for mobile devices, making it one of the best operators for gambling on the go.

The fact that they use Net Entertainment’s casino games is a definite plus for me, given that those are some of the highest quality online casino games I have ever played.

Although the bonuses don’t seem top of the line, they are quite enough to boost your initial bankroll and not to force you to bet too much with their wagering requirements.

All in all, I consider Betsson a place you should give a chance.
