Britain Bet Review
Britain Bet is, primarily, a sports betting site. However, dig a little deeper underneath that shiny sportsbook front page, and you’ll find a fully fledged online casino hiding just a couple of clicks away. What’s more, this same casino lobby boasts what we all love around here; NetEnt games!
While this might be a bit of a departure from our usual casino reviews, we thought it was definitely worth taking a look at Britain Bet and seeing what it can deliver a NetEnt fan like us.
Pros
- An amazing sports betting site - if that's your thing
- All of the main NetEnt classics present and correct in the lobby
- Nice, clean presentation
- UKGC regulated
Cons
- More obscure slots titles are harder to find
- Took us a while to complete our registration

Britain Bet Welcome Bonus
For our purposes here, we will be focussing mainly on the casino side of Britain Bet’s website. So while there are specific bonuses for the sports betting side (Deposit £10 and get a £10 Free Bet, if you’re interested), our attention here is dedicated to the welcome bonus for casino players. Here, signing up and opening your new account will be met by a generous 200% matched bonus up to a maximum of £50. What this means in reality is, if you were to deposit £25 Britain Bet would gift you a further £50 (£25 x 200% = £50 – and that’s as far as our maths will stretch!) meaning you’d have a total of £75 to play with.
Now, of course, this isn’t simply free money. There are terms and conditions to consider, such as the minimum deposit of £20. Although, this is actually the minimum deposit across the entire casino anyway, so it’s not really relevant to the welcome bonus. What is, however, is the 50x wagering requirement Britain Bet has placed on the bonus funds. This is a little higher than your average wagering level for a bonus, but it’s certainly by no means unheard of. It is also worth noting that if you plan on funding your account via Skrill, then you will not be eligible for this sign-up deal.
How to Open an Account
Having a great welcome bonus isn’t a lot of good if your registration process is clunky and tiresome. Luckily, Britain Bet doesn’t have that issue.
Step 1: Click on the ‘Join Now’ button on the top right hand corner (if you’re visiting on a desktop computer) or, on mobile, open the burger menu in the top left and then click “Join Now”
Step 2: The first step to creating your account is to enter your email, set a password and then add your mobile number too
Step 3: In the Registration section, you will be required to enter your first and surname, gender, date of birth, home address, occupation and select a currency. If you have a Bonus Code then this is also the stage you enter it
Step 4: After clicking Submit, you will now be able to make your first deposit and claim your sign-up bonus or, if you wish, you can browse around the lobby beforehand.
Step 5: That’s it, all done! Deposit some funds, get that bonus and start playing the games!
Britain Bet Promotions
As already described above, there is a sports betting bonus too, but in terms of casino-specific deals, the 200% Up To £50 is the only one on the table. Ordinarily, we’d expect to see some decent follow up offers, maybe for your second, third or even fourth deposits, but not here.
Rewards Programme
However, to sweeten the deal for its players that little bit more, Britain Bet does offer a Rewards Programme. This isn’t something you need to opt into, or have to meet some sky-high minimum requirements before you start accumulating points – as soon as you have registered and start playing, you’re working towards earning a reward. There are also specific “missions” like signing up, making your first deposit or playing three different table games. Completing these from the checklist will net you a varying amount of points, and as you progress further through the tasks, the rewards will likewise increase.
To keep an eye on your progress, you just need to click on the trophy icon in the main menu. This will display how many points you have already been awarded as well as any outstanding missions open to you. There are five levels in total (with a points bonus for moving up each time), and you can choose to redeem these points for things like Free Bets, Bonus Money, Match Deposit Bonuses or Free Spins.
Payment Methods
Britain Bet proudly states that it uses the latest encryption and protection technologies to process both your deposits and withdrawals. They also offer no shortage of different methods for these processes:
- Visa
- MasterCard
- Maestro
- Paypal
- Skrill
- Trustly
- ecoPayz
- Neteller
While all of our test deposits went through immediately, we did note that all withdrawals are subject to a mandatory 3-day “Pending Period” and a processing fee of £2.50. Not a deal breaker by any stretch, but worth adding to your considerations when looking for a new casino to play at.
Britain Bet Game Providers and Games
As a sports betting specialist, you might assume that the casino arm of the business was tacked on as an afterthought. Well, one quick perusal of the games in the lobby will soon put pay to those fears. All of the big providers are included but, most importantly, there are no fewer than 40 titles from our good friends at NetEnt. These are mainly the big hitters that you’ll find in almost any online casino lobby (Starburst, Divine Fortune Megaways, Gonzo’s Quest and Dead or Alive, for example) but we did also find some of our more obscure favourites too. If you’re looking for a specific game, it’s worth using the tidy search function as otherwise they can get lost in a long list in the standard lobby.
Britain Bet Live Casino
Since NetEnt closed its NetEnt Live door a while back now, we’ve lost touch with the advancement in this sector of online gambling, but we certainly enjoyed taking a seat at some of the virtual tables here. NetEnt’s parent company, Evolution Gaming LTD, is at the very forefront of this area and there was another 40 titles to choose from their rostrum. There’s plenty of variations on the much-loved table games like blackjack, baccarat and roulette but we also had some fun on the more obscure games like Dragon Tiger and Grand VIP. The only thing we felt was missing from Britain Bet’s Live Casino offering was some of the gameshow titles that Evolution is so well known for. Maybe they have plans to bring Crazy Time on board here – we certainly hope so!
Britain Bet on Mobile
Long gone are the days of having to play at a casino on your phone via some awkward app. Most sites are optimised perfectly to operate via any web browser on any sized screen, and Britain Bet is thankfully no different. We tested it on several different phones of different ages and specs, and not once did we experience a single issue. The interface is clean, tidy and easy to navigate. A definite two thumbs up for this site’s mobile-friendliness.
Britain Bet Customer Support
The customer support team at Britain Bet struck us as particularly friendly and eager to help. There is a 24/7 live chat option to answer any questions as well as a freely available email address should you wish to go into more detail.
What We Like About Britain Bet
We love the fact that a sports betting site has gone to the trouble of delivering a user-friendly casino add-on with an impressive bonus to boot.
