Welcome Bonus
Betsson ushers in new customers with a 100-percent welcome bonus of up to $100. The minimum deposit is $10 and the maximum bonus paid out is $100. Gamblers are required to wager the bonus 35x before they're allowed to cash out, and must reach the wagering requirement within 30 days or forfeit the bonus and all winnings earned with the bonus money.
The site features varying contributing percentages to the wagering requirement, outlined below:
- 100 percent — Video slots, slot machines, lottery games and scratchcards
- 50 percent — Caribbean stud
- 20 percent – Texas Hold'em
- 10 percent — Roulette, Baccarat, Punto Banco, Oasis Poker
- 5 percent — Blackjack, Pontoon, Video pokers
- 25 percent — All other table games
Welcome Bonus — Bottom Line: All in all, the Betsson bonus here isn’t as attractive as the other bonuses we have on the site. The $100 match bonus is a little below average, and the 35x wagering requirement is fairly average. Having said that, Betsson has many great promotions which gives you plenty of reasons to gamble here.
Games
NetEnd Software: Betsson features a heavy dose of NetEnt slot games, which is good news, because NetEnt is fast becoming one of our favorites. The software provider creates games with some of the best graphics and gameplay in the world, and also provides some of the kindest percentage payouts of any game maker.
Games: Among the favorites here are games like Starburst, Mega Fortune and Gonzo's Quest, but those are just a few of the slots that highlight NetEnt's graphics. The site also features table games like blackjack and roulette, as well as video pokers. Along with its casino, Betsson also offers a poker room, live casino, sportsbook and bingo parlor, so it's a great place for gamblers with varied interests.
Browser Gaming: Like most NetEnt casinos, Betsson is available only through a browser-based version, and not for download. This may annoy users with slower internet connections, but the software is well designed and should run smoothly on most PCs and Macbooks.
Mobile
The Betsson mobile product is one of the best around. NetEnt is an award-winning provider of mobile casino games and Betsson brings a full slate of the provider's best work. Players can simply go to betsson from the browser on their iPhone, Android, Blackberry or other mobile device and access their online account there.
Game selection: Players can use the same money and information to gamble from their computers and mobile devices, and have access to over 80 games, including casino favorites like Starburst and South Park. The site also has more traditional table games and is constantly adding new games to its repertoire, usually plucked from Betsson's online site and adapted for mobile play.
Versatile gambling: Betsson mobile also allows players access to other portions of the site, like the sportsbook or poker room, making it an outstanding product that can rival any competitor. Betsson's poker site is an especially popular one, so gamblers who also have an interest in some Texas Hold'em will be especially pleased.
On top of everything else, the Betsson mobile app is exceptionally sharp and smooth with great graphics and game play. We can't give the app a higher recommendation.
Promotions
Unlike some other NetEnt casinos, Betsson puts a heavy focus on its promotions, or Casino Treats. The site has daily offers that change by the week. In a given seven-day stretch, these could include Betsson free bets, free spins, cashback offers, winning boosters, deposit bonuses, special tournaments and more.
The site also features regular slot tournaments, usually centered around specific games. Entering these tourneys is a great way to aim for some extra cash, and also good for branching out to new slots on occasion.

Banking
Like most NetEnt casinos, the banking options for Canadian players are somewhat limited at Betsson. Players can use credit cards like Visa and Masterard, but its slate of e-wallet offerings is limited to Neteller and Click2Pay. It'd be nice if the site support Instadebit deposits, but sadly, that's not the case. Deposits are instant, at least, and generally hassle free.
Options are even more limited for withdrawals, as Canadian players can only use Visa or Neteller. Transaction times are pretty quick, with Neteller processing in 24 hours and Visa within 3-5 working days, but the limited options are a drag. It's a shame Betsson isn't more versatile in this regard, but it's only these limits that are preventing it from earning full marks from us in our review. If you're already a Visa or Neteller user, you shouldn’t have any trouble.
Conclusion
The negatives are the limited banking options and a lackluster welcome bonus, but otherwise, we can't give Betsson a higher recommendation. The site is an excellent showcase for some of NetEnt's best casino games, featuring some of the top graphics and game play on the planet. That, plus a regular stream of exciting promotions, separates Betsson from the pack. We can't give it full marks because of the banking limitations, but if you're already a Visa or Neteller user, we think you'll love Betsson
