Summary
Betsafe is a big European-based online casino and they offer a wide selection of roulette games. However, their support is terrible, and their withdrawals are slower than average.
It's a solid option if you're looking to play a variety of roulette games from lots of different game providers, but it's not the kind of place I'm excited to play at. It's a well-oiled machine, but they've lost their personality along the way.
You can't go wrong with Betsafe, but they're not memorable.
Company: Good

Licenses:
Betsafe Casino is run BML Group Ltd (and BS Nordic Ltd in Sweden). The parent company is Betsson AB, which is a major European gambling operator that has been around since 1963.
The most popular online casinos they own are:
- Betsson - Their flagship brand. Aimed at sports betting.
- Betsafe - A better looking alternative to Betsson. Aimed at casino games and poker.
- NordicBet - Brand for Scandinavia.
Betsson is original brand. They purchased Betsafe in 2011 for roughly €60m (from an independent Malta-based company with origins in Norway) and they now run it alongside Betsson. I personally prefer the look of Betsafe and I've had an account with them for years, which is why I'm reviewing them here.
You've probably heard of some of these casinos before, which is a sign you're dealing with a big company here. Betsson AB itself is actually publicly traded on Nasdaq Stockholm as BETS B
(if you fancy investing).
Anyway, they're licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, which is the gold standard when it comes to online casino licenses. It's expensive and involves a lot of regulation, so it's a quick indicator that you're dealing with a very formal operation.
But at the same time this means a lot of their energy is invested in ticking boxes and meeting license requirements, and as a result other areas of their operation (e.g support) have suffered because of it.
Overall Betsafe is run by a reliable company, and you can be confident that your money is safe with them. The only downside is you're dealing with a corporate and personality-free business that only exists to meet requirements and take your money, because at the end of the day they answer to bureaucracy first.
This is why I prefer using smaller online casinos like Cloudbet.

Website: Excellent
Betsafe has a professional website. It looks cool too.
It's obvious they've got an experienced team of web developers working on it. The layout is clean and the navigation is simple. The color scheme makes good of dark tones to create a relaxing aesthetic, and I'd go as far as saying it's the most easy-on-the-eye casino website I've used.
It's got the same level of stylishness that the 888 Casino website is going for, but Betsafe have actually done a decent job of it by developing a website that loads quickly.
Mobile: Good
- Mobile: Yes
- iPhone App: No
- Android App: No
Betsafe Casino doesn't have an iPhone or Android app, but their website works well on mobile.
Clean layout on mobile.
It's definitely not as good as their desktop version though. I mean, it works fine, but you lose a lot of the navigation that the desktop website has, so you're left scrolling through pages of games to find what you're looking for. It's not a problem, but it's obvious they've sacrificed on the navigation for mobile users.
But aside from that, it looks good and loads quickly enough.
The main navigational webpages do feel a little 'heavy' on mobile though. For example, when you're side-scrolling through the Netflix-style layout of casino games there is a noticeable lag. It's not the snappiest of experiences, and that's most likely down to over-usage of javascript.
But that's just me being critical. I think I've been spoilt by their excellent desktop website design and I have unattainably high expectations for their mobile offering too, but in reality it's still very good.
Games: Excellent
Roulette Variants:
- Live Roulette:Yes
- Racetrack:Yes
- La Partage / En Prison:Yes
Providers:
The selection of roulette games (and all kinds of casino games for that matter) is the biggest selling point of Betsafe, and in my opinion is the main reason why you'd consider playing here.
They've got all the original versions of roulette including French roulette (which gives you the best possible house edge of 1.35%), along with a bunch of weird and modern variants that put a new spin on the game. For example:
- Double Ball Roulette - Two balls instead of one.
- Lightning Roulette - Some numbers are randomly given huge payout multipliers.
- Alphabet Roulette - Some numbers are replaced with letters.
Double Ball roulette (by Leander Studios) is an interesting variant of the classic game.
Usually these games have a worse house edge than the classic versions, but you might find them fun if you're a purveyor of roulette.
Betsafe have partnered with a large number of software providers, so they have more games than other online casinos do. They have casino games from Evolution, GamesInc, Felt, Play'n Go, NetEntCasino, Relax Gaming, and a few others. So they've put the effort in to be able to provide one of the largest varieties of casino games on the market.
This is not even mentioning the huge choice of Live Dealer tables on offer as well.
Unfortunately not all of these game providers are available in all countries, so you may not be access some of the more unusual variants listed above. The easiest way to check is to just create an account and see which games show up in the lobby.
The selection is pretty good in most countries though.
Banking: Okay
Payment Methods:
- Deposit Time: Instant
- Payout Time: 2-5 Days
Betsafe Casino has all the traditional payment methods you would expect from a large online gambling company, such as; credit/debit card, online wallet, and bank transfer.
They do not offer bitcoin as an option though, but that's no surprise (most larger, old-school companies are too regulated to touch it).
Withdrawals are fairly slow however, with the majority of withdrawals taking 2-5 working days on average.
So it's a robust cashier, but they don't hurry your withdrawals.
The deposit and withdrawal options will differ from one country to another, so it's best to log in and see what's on offer to get a complete list of what's available in your country. The methods above are the most commonly accepted ones.
Bonus: Awful
Betsafe Casino has different bonuses for different countries. I'm not going to cover every bonus here, so I'll just show the most common bonus they offer and use it as an illustration for how their bonuses tend to work.
- 30 days
- 40x Bonus Amount
Winnings Trap. You forfeit any winnings if you do not redeem the full bonus with 30 days.
Deposit Trap. You cannot withdraw anything until you have redeemed the full bonus.
Bet Limit. You can only bet up to €6 per game when trying to redeem the bonus. This severely hampers your chances of redeeming the bonus before going broke.
Betsafe Casino has a typical 100% up to €100 new player bonus, with a wagering requirement of 40x
and a time frame of 30 days. At first glance this is about as standard of a bonus you're going to find in the world of online casinos.
For example, if you make a €100 deposit, you'll get an extra €100 added to your account. You now have to wager 40 x €100 = €4000
to be able to be able to withdraw the bonus money you have been given. However, there are two things you need to be aware of:
- Bets made on roulette only count 10% toward the wagering requirement, which means in reality you would need to wager €40,000 to meet the full requirements.
- Bets are limited to €6 when working toward the wagering requirement, which reduces the speed at which you can redeem the bonus.
As a result the wagering requirements are impossibly high, and the €6 bet limit ensures that you will grind your deposit down to nothing before you can actually redeem the bonus. The high wagering requirement is standard, but it's the inconspicuous €6 limit that kills your chances of getting anything from this bonus.
These kinds of bonuses do not reflect well on the companies that offer them.
But as always, these bonuses are just there to get you addicted to playing slots so you can deposit more and more in the future.
Betsafe know what they are doing, and in my book this bonus is best avoided if you are hoping to win some money (and withdraw it when you want to).
Betsafe/lt
Contribution table
Game | Contribution | Total Wagering Requirement |
---|---|---|
Slots | 100% | 40x |
Roulette | 10% | 400x |
Blackjack | 5% | 800x |
Support: Awful
- Live Chat
- Yes
Support at Betsafe is hit and miss, but mostly miss.
Live Chat has been particularly annoying for me in the past. There have been occasions where you can only get through to an automated bot, and it just sends you around in circles without actually allowing you to get through to a real human being. It's incredibly frustrating, especially when you genuinely need help with something.
Email can be even worse. I've had multiple emails about an honest request for help ignored over many weeks of trying. It was only over a small issue, but it made me realize that the company is prepared to ignore you if they're not interested in trying to help, even if they've made a mistake.
I don't think they're a bad company, but their support is disappointing.
I think Betsafe is a great casino if you're happy to just deposit, play, and hope to not run in to any issues that require help from support. And to be honest, the majority of the time you won't need it.
Some staff have tried to be helpful on occasion, but ultimately I do not have confidence in their support.
Conclusion: C+
If you don't care about support, Betsafe is a viable option.
Betsafe is run by a large publicly-traded European company, which makes it a fine choice if you're looking for a reliable online casino to play at for real money.
But on the other hand it's a corporate operation with poor support. They're big enough to pay all the official licensing fees and handle all the regulation that comes with it, but they're also too big to be able care about you as a customer. At the end of the day, you're just another number on their books, and you feel like it when you're playing there.
Their greatest redeeming feature is the fact they have a professional website with an excellent selection of casino games, so it's worth checking out if you want to play some of the more unusual variants of online roulette.
So I can't fault Betsafe Casino when it comes to reliability and game selection, but they're not my favorite casino to play at.
If you're looking for a small-but-cool online casino with a good selection of games, check out Cloudbet.

What is the Business Profits Tax (BPT)?
For taxable periods ending before December 31, 2016, an 8.5% tax is assessed on income from conducting business activity within the State of New Hampshire. For multi-state businesses, income is apportioned, using a weighted sales factor of two and the payroll and property factors. Organizations operating a unitary business must use combined reporting in filing their New Hampshire Business Tax return.
For Taxable periods ending on or after December 31, 2016, the BPT rate is reduced to 8.2%. For taxable periods ending on or after December 31, 2018, the BPT rate is reduced to 7.9%. For taxable periods ending on or after December 31, 2019, the BPT rate is reduced to 7.7%.
BPT and BET Rates Chart
Who pays BPT?
Every business organization, organized for gain or profit carrying on business activity within the state is subject to this tax. However, organizations with $50,000 or less of gross receipts from all their activities are not required to file a return.
When is the BPT return due?
For taxable periods beginning after December 31, 2015, partnership returns are due on the 15th day of the 3rd month following the end of the taxable period. Corporate, proprietorship, fiduciary and combined returns are due on the 15th day of the 4th month following the end of the taxable period.
Do I have to make estimated payments?
Four estimates are required, paid at 25% each on the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th and 12th month of the taxable period, for any tax liability greater than $200.
Am I required to pay estimates during my first year?
Yes, if the tax liability is greater than $200, but you may qualify for an exception from the penalty under RSA 21-J:32, IV(d) by filing Form DP-2210/2220.
Who do I contact with questions?
Call Taxpayer Services at (603) 230-5920.
I have a proprietorship; can I split the rental income between my wife and myself?
No, not unless two separate and distinct proprietorships exist. See NH Code of Administrative Rules Rev 307.04(e).
Do I have to file a BPT return if my installment sale income is less than $50,000?
The filing requirement is determined in the year of the sale for all years irrespective of the years in which income is received. So, if the gross business income is greater than $50,000 in the year of the sale, regardless of the amount received in subsequent years, you are required to file until all installments are reported. See NH Code of Administrative Rules Rev 302.07(f).
Are Sub-S corporations treated differently in New Hampshire than C corporations for tax purposes?
No, Sub-S corporations are treated the same as C Corporations. The flow-through items on Schedule K are incorporated into corporate income when determining taxable business profits.
Do all Federal Schedules need to be attached to returns?
Yes. All federal schedules must be included with original and amended returns. Proprietorships must include Schedules C, D, E, F, 4797, 6252, if applicable. For more information, see the 'General Instructions' under the applicable tax year on the Forms and Instructions page of our website.
How do I calculate the Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryover?
For purposes of calculating the amount of any NOL carryover deduction allowed under RSA 77-A:4, XIII for tax periods ending on or after July 1, 2005, Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code in effect on December 31, 1996 shall be followed. For tax periods ending before July 1, 2005:
(1) Any loss amount shall first be carried back to those tax years required by the Internal Revenue code without application of the election in section 172(b)(3) and applied to any income in the carryback tax years, before any remaining loss is carried forward as a NOL deduction.
(2) The carryback of losses as provided in (1) above shall result in neither an allowable NOL deduction in the carryback years nor a refund of previously paid taxes. An Amended return filed for such purposes shall be prohibited.
(3) The business organization's failure to carryback NOLs and apply them to the income of prior profitable years shall result in the loss being presumed to be fully absorbed in the carryback year(s).
How is the NOL carryforward computed?
An NOL shall be apportioned in the year incurred according to RSA 77-A:3. An NOL may only be carried forward for the 10 years following the loss year. The amount of NOL generated in a tax year that may be carried forward is limited as follows:
Date: | Maximum Amount: |
---|---|
On or before 6/30/2003 | $ 250,000 |
7/1/2003 - 6/30/2004 | $ 500,000 |
7/1/2004 - 6/30/2005 | $ 750,000 |
7/1/2005 - 12/31/2012 | $1,000,000 |
on or after 1/1/2013 | $10,000,000 |
Is the DP-132, NOL Deduction Form, required?
Yes, for the year the NOL deduction is used. You must show proof of the loss year being claimed.
Can I amend for an NOL and get a refund?
No. NOLs must be carried back for 3 years only for purposes of determining the carry forward amount for tax periods ending before July 1, 2005. See 'How do I calculate the Net Operating Loss (NOL)?' above.
Can the NH Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) credit be taken against BPT & Business Enterprise Tax?
Yes. For more information call the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration's Taxpayer Services at (603) 230-5920 or visit the NH CDFA's website at www.nhcdfa.org.
When filing a Form DP-2210/2220, must the same exception be used in all four quarters?
Betsafe Kenya
No, each quarter stands on its own.

What is a unitary business?
A unitary business is defined by RSA 77-A:1 XIV as 'one or more related business organizations engaged in business activity both within and without this state among which there exists a unity of ownership, operation, and use or an interdependence in their functions.' See NH Code of Administrative Rules Rev 300 Unity of Ownership; Unity of Operation; Unity of Use; Interdependence in their function.
What does nexus mean?
Betsafe Ee
Whether an entity is required to file business tax returns depends on whether it has nexus with a state. Nexus is defined as some definite link, or minimum connection, between the state and the entity it seeks to tax. If you are an out-of-state business that sells or leases tangible personal property in this State, refer to NH Code of Administrative Rules Rev 304.01 for an illustrative listing of those activities that create nexus.
