Games and platform
Betsson is a client of Net Entertainment, one of the best casino software developers and the main casino engine as well as many of the games run on Net Entertainment software. As such you can find a good selection of Net Entertainment’s popular progressive jackpot slots such as Mega Fortune, Hall of Gods and Mega Moolah. The casino also offers games from casino software developers such as IGT, Quickfire, Evolution Gaming and Leander Games.
One of the strengths of the Net Entertainment platform is that it is light enough to run smoothly in your web browser. While you have the option to download the software which gives you sharper graphics and a more stable experience if your internet connection is poor, the casino runs great in its browser mode if you have a stable internet connection.

Jackpots
Inhouse jackpots at Betsson can reach up to the tens of thousands for lucky winners and progressive jackpots can go well into the millions. One lucky winner, a 50 year old council worker from Sweden, recently won 7.3 million euro recently on Hall of Gods.
Security and History
Although gamers can sometimes be suspicious of online casinos operating under licenses of small countries such as Malta and Cyprus, the fact that Betsson is listed on the Swedish Stock Exchange means that their integrity cannot be called into question.

The company has one of the best reputations in the gaming industry for its customer service, particularly the promptness of its payouts.
The company is also extremely active in its Corporate Social Responsibility activities and supports a number of charities in Scandinavia and the rest of the countries in which it operates. It is one of the founding members of the industry’s Responsible Gaming body and has won a number of awards for its approach to problematic gambling.
