Betsafe launches new online casino

11.02.2008

Founded in Scandinavia in 2006, licensed in Malta and operating from Costa Rica, Group Betsafe SA is perhaps better known for sportsbetting operations and more recently online poker on the Cryptologic platform, but this week was promoting its new Net Entertainment-powered online casino at Betsafe.com.

The company boasts a player base of over 60 000 online gamblers from 100 different countries, and the online casino operation has a games inventory in excess of a hundred diverse products.

Betsafe CEO Andre Lavold signed up for a CasinoModule package with Net Entertainment last September (see previous InfoPowa report), saying: ”The fact that Net Entertainment has a license in Malta and that their product supports 21 languages means that we now have a casino product that aids our continued expansion in Europe.”

Visitors can bet on a myriad of sports games from soccer to handball, choose their favourite from 8 types of poker, or try their luck at a game of virtual bingo, playing for practice in fun mode, or for real money.

"People love being able to play a variety of fun games that win them money from the comfort of their own home," owner Rudi Thomassen says in the launch press release. He goes to claim that responsible gaming is a key objective, saying: "Responsible gambling is an important thing to remember. Betsafe is meant to be a fun place for entertainment."
