Betsson

Are you looking for the full package with casino, sportsbook, live casino and poker all on one site? Then they don’t come much better than Betsson. The Swedish parent company has been in the gaming business since 1963 and is today listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Building on their vast experience, they acquired in 2003 what was then a well-liked sportsbook in the UK under the name of Betsson and transformed it over the years into the crown jewel of the group’s portfolio.

The stringent trio of gaming licenses from the MGA Malta, UK Gambling Commission and the Swedish Spelinspektionen shows their commitment to operating in regulated markets only as well as ensuring a safe and fair gaming environment while adhering to strict rules for responsible gambling. Over the years, they also acquired multiple local licenses such as in Denmark, Latvia, Spain, Italy, Ireland and other countries.

Fun Fact: Betsson once owned a major share in Swedish gaming giant Net Entertainment AB or better known as NetEnt, which was divested in 2007 as part of a restructuring plan that saw Betsson focusing on becoming one of Europe’s largest online gaming company.

A mobile-optimized layout with tabs including Casino, Live Casino, Sports and Poker will lead you instantly to the section you are looking for.

Registering an account is very easy and done on a single page. Enter your details, choose from nine currencies and indicate whether you want to activate a deposit limit.

The GMBLRS’ Detective Verdict

It would be very tough to find anything negative about Betsson or missing from their offering. There is rarely such a comprehensive hangout that caters virtually for all gambling needs be it casino, live casino, poker or sports. Highly recommended.
