The site, powered by Chartwell, would certainly not be described as revolutionary though.

The casino is not as strong a proposition as either the exchange or the poker site, which is actually very very good.

The casino has a good enough raft of games – from video poker to baccarat and a variety in the middle.

The only flaw that we felt existed was that the homepage felt a bit too much like the exchange. And as we are pretty familiar with the exchange we wanted something a bit more "glam".

Once you get into the games though things start to look up for Betfair Casino. The games themselves, through the zero lounge are actually quite classy in a funny sort of way. They are very clear, concise and look much better than initial expectations lead us to believe.

The download speed and robustness of all the games is everything that you would expect from Betfair.

We thought we would end up being scathing of the site, but were pleasantly surprised – but don’t just take our word for it!
