BETFAIR TO ENTER ONLINE CASINO SECTOR
Leading betting exchange is increasingly becoming a one-stop shop - and now the house edge is to be cut.
International betting exchange group Betfair is increasingly becoming a one-stop shop for online gaming with the launch of a new Internet casino operation.
The Betfair Casino is the latest addition to a portfolio of products that includes the world's biggest betting exchange, online poker, and now Exchange Games.
Betfair Games has seen strong growth since the launch of its innovative exchange-based card games. "The launch of a casino reflects the company's commitment to providing customers with unrivalled choice and represents a continued confidence in the online gaming sector," says a company spokesman.
"Within the Betfair Casino is the revolutionary Zero Lounge, an area where the customary 'house edge' has been removed," he said. "Zero Lounge games include Baccarat, Blackjack, Jacks or Better and Roulette; all with zero house edge. For roulette, the zero has been removed which means players will be paid fairly, according to the chances they take.
"We aim to offer more choice to our customers and we want to do this in an innovative 'Betfair way'. That is why we created these adapted games where the house does not have the traditional advantage over the punter" said Director of Games Steve Ives.
"The words fair and casino no longer contradict each other."
