Betfair Casino is the only casino where there is a zero house-edge lounge. The company is calling it the Zero Lounge: an area where the games have 100% returns to player.

The idea is that they get more customers with a higher turnover. Players will also have to observe basic strategy on Blackjack, Jacks or Better and Baccarat to take advantage of the zero edge - which we know not all players will do - this creates a small margin for Betfair - very clever!

For roulette they have removed the zero. This is an unprecedented move which other operators will be watching with interest - it goes against everything that casinos have been trying to do over the years - increase the edge!

Betfair Casino offers two great casino lounges, the Zero Lounge and the Main Lounge. The Main Lounge offers the usual casino fare with the reliability of a major online gambling company behind it. It's the Zero Lounge that makes Betfair so different.
