Betsson Live Casino Review

Betsson is an online casino with some serious backing – its Swedish parent company Betsson AB has over 50 years of gambling experience. Betsson launched in 2003 and is licenced by the Malta Gaming Commission, giving it a great certification to go with its online betting pedigree. They offer more than 100 live dealer tables most of whom are exclusive to Betsson Group of Casinos, such as Betsafe and others that they own.

Seems like live blackjack is very popular with the casino group as they offer 12 private tables from Evolution Gaming with betting limits going as high as £20,000 per box.

Most of their 35 live casino titles are powered by Evolution Gaming. 13 games are by NetEnt, covering blackjack and roulette (in various forms including automatic, VIP and party), over 20+ different titles spread across multiple tables are by Evolution. The rest of the spots are taken by lesser known developer Portomaso.

The Evolution Lobby hosts quite a few private blackjack tables (12), so you’ll never be short of a seat even at the busiest hours. It also features a live roulette table streamed straight from the Hippodrome Casino in London – which is pretty cool, and not an Evolution title you’ll find at many other casinos. You know what to expect from Evolution and NetEnt, and Betsson delivers a perfectly fine site from which to play these titles – as well as a good selection.

The 8 live roulette titles by Portomaso Gaming were always going to find it hard to live up to the standards of these industry stalwarts, but they do a decent job. Although their lobby has no frills, and was a little confusing at times, the games ran pretty well and had a nice live casino atmosphere.

There’s also games from Extreme Live Gaming (now Pragmatic Play Live) covering a few different versions of blackjack, roulette and baccarat offered from this provider.

Localisation/Native Tables

Betsson’s Evolution Gaming lobby offers four types of localised live roulette, with croupiers in the respective languages. These are: Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian and Russian (not that kind) roulette. This is the neither the best or the worst selection we’ve seen, and puts Betsson solidly in the middle of the online casino pack when it comes to localised live casino gaming.

Their website however, is available in a wide range of languages – all of which are obvious and easily accessible from the site’s homepage. Which is refreshing and good to see, compared to even some of the biggest online casinos in the game. The full list is: English, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Polish, Icelandic, Portuguese, French, Spanish, Greek, Italian, Czech, Romanian, Danish and Turkish. Which we think you’ll agree, is a pretty good and comprehensive selection!

Private Tables

12 live blackjack and 1 live roulette exclusive with Evolution Gaming – although these are shared among the whole group of their casinos. Betsson also has “Sverige Rouletten” with Extreme Live Gaming that we have never seen before on any other site.

All the usual banking methods are available at Betsson – PaySafeCard, Skrill, bank transfer, Neteller, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Trustly and Entropay – and they all are supposed to take less than 24 hours. Not too shabby!

However, there is a bit of a catch and this is that they charge 2.5% for card withdrawals. Not a huge fee, but more than a lot of live dealer casinos who will do these for free. Overall the fast withdrawals and the charges match out, making Betsson’s a reasonable banking system.
