Betfair Casino Live Dealer Review
 General |
Betfair
was launched in 1999 as the world's first online betting exchange and
has grown to become one of the largest internet gambling businesses in
existence today.
Some key facts from their corporate website make for
interesting reading...over 3 million registered customers; over 2,000
staff; over 5 million transactions processed daily; around 7 billion
page views served weekly; licenses in Gibraltar (sport betting), Italy
(sports betting), United States (wagering), Australia (sports betting),
Malta (casino); official betting partner of Manchester United, FC
Barcelona and Ascot Racecourse; listed on the London Stock Exchange.
Their online casino is owned and operated by Malta
based (LGA licensed)
subsidiary Betfair Casino Limited and the software that they have chosen
for their live games is Playtech's European dealer platform.
Note: the above country exclusions apply to their
live casino games only and not necessarily all betting products. For
example, while Australian residents are unable to access Betfair's live
casino games, they are able to access Betfair's betting exchange

Playtech's high definition broadcast and full screen video
playing interface make this a great roulette option, provided your
