Bet365 Vegas Portal Review

Last week we informed you that Bet365 had increased the number of casino sites they offer under the Bet365 umbrella, by adding Bet365 Vegas to their Bet365 Casino and Bet365 Games offerings.

This development was a result of a deal Bet365 struck with Net Entertainment to offer their gaming products for the first time, on the Bet365 platform.

The result is Bet365 Vegas, a brand new casino which features 57 separate games split into one of four categories. We’ll take a look at these new games below.

Bonuses and promotions

Since opening its doors, metaphorically, on the 1st April, Bet365 Vegas has moved quickly to boost the profile of the new site by offering four bonuses, all of which can be triggered throughout April by new or existing Bet365 customers who want to try the new site out for the first time.

Bet365 new player bonus

Either deposit or transfer up to £100 into your Bet365 Vegas account and you’ll receive a 100% opening bonus up to a maximum of £100.

This is triggered by entering the offer code from the members section of the site after you have made your first deposit.  It is also worth noting that you will have to play through your deposit in its entirety to release your bonus within a stated timeframe (in this case, it is 30 days).

Not yet an accountholder? First things first, get yourself a Bet365 bonus referrer code, which ensures you’ll get the best possible deal when joining this popular UK betting site.

On the house

This bonus has now expired but offered a 25% cashback on whatever the house takes from your play on Bet365 Vegas over the weekend of the 10th or 11th April.

There is a very strong chance however that Bet365 may repeat this offer for another weekend or two in the near future to continue to drum up support for the site.

Five free rounds

This bonus allows Bet365 Vegas customers to play five free rounds on one of four slots – Fisticuffs, Gonzo’s Quest, Subtopia or Starburst – at any point over the weekend of the Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th April.

Daily cash escalator

From 14th to the 27th April, players at Bet365 Vegas can earn 20% cashback each day by playing any of the games on the site. The more days you play consecutively up to five days or more, then the more cash back you will earn on play from 5% cashback for 2 days consecutive play, up to 20% cashback for five or more consecutive days of play.

Although Bet365 tend not to offer lots of promotions on a weekly or monthly basis, preferring long term promotions available throughout the year, it is likely that the next few months will see an increase in promotions on the site.

Chiefly, these promotions will be geared to drum up interest in Bet365 Vegas, so it will be worthwhile checking back to this part of the site regularly.

Mobile support

The good news for mobile fans is that Bet365 Vegas is fully compatible with the most popular mobile devices including iPhone, iPad and Android.

Simply visit vegas.bet365.com from your mobile browser and you’ll be able to play any of the games on the site direct from your smartphone or tablet.

How does Bet365 Vegas shape up?

Having played several of the offerings on the Bet365 Vegas site it is fair to say that Net Entertainment’s games are extremely polished. Graphically and in terms of sound and effects, the games are engaging and eye-catching. They look polished and play very well and the animations are smooth, even on a 3G connection via mobile.

The site is perhaps a tad over-reliant on slot machines though at present. The term “arcade” seems to imply that this is a section of arcade games, but in truth the vast majority of games in this section are slot-based games that use arcade games as the inspiration for them, so what you essentially have here is a slot site with a few card and table games thrown in.

That’s not a bad thing, but it is somewhat misleading to see a section entitled arcade games, only to find they are actually slot games predominantly.

If you like slot games however then Bet365 Vegas offers you a really excellent choice of games and with new games being added to the site on a regular basis over the coming weeks and months, the amount of slots you can choose from is only likely to increase.

In terms of card games and in particular poker, the offerings are typical of a casino. If you like playing Casino Hold’em (although personally, I am not a huge fan) then this is a good game to play. Blackjack is also a very good game on the site and I feel offers players the best chance of regular success compared to any of the other games on the site.

One of the most pleasing aspects of Bet365 Vegas is that their introductory offer is open to new customers and existing Bet365 customers.

Not many other sites do this (once you have taken up one offer, you are usually not allowed to register again with another arm of the site to qualify for a second bonus) and with Bet365 you can even qualify for the bonus by transferring money into your Bet365 Vegas account, from another Bet365 account.

So overall, it is a promising start for Bet365 Vegas, there’s lots to keep you going at the site and with more games being added, there is still more to come. The introductory offer is strong and all-inclusive, though it is perhaps a tad heavy on the slot offerings.  This is certainly a site to explore in more detail if you enjoy any form of casino gaming.
