From a father and son business to one of UK most successful betting companies, Corbett’s Bookmakers have come a long way. And now, with the launch of their new casino websites, they can expect even more growth.
The UK betting company, Corbett’s Bookmakers has made the move into the online world of gambling, recently releasing two online casino and poker websites, Corbettcasino.com and corbettpoker.com. This will be their first venture into the casino gaming world for the family-owned company who operate under betterbetcorbett.co.uk.
The father-son company, founded in 1947, began their business with a starting capital of £1000. From there, Sydney Corbett and his son, William Thomas Corbett have transformed their once telephone credit bookmaking company to one of Britain’s fastest growing betting companies. The Corbett’s Bookmakers now have 61 betting shops in the north of England from Aberystwyth to York. Run by Raymond Corbett and his four children, the family-owned company focuses on betting from horse racing to football games. They also own a whole slew of betting pitches on racecourses from the Royal Ascot to Cheltenham. Expanding their business into online casinos was inevitable for this widely successful company.
The new online casinos will feature card games from Blackjack to Wild Viking, table games including craps and roulette, video poker, slot machines, arcade games and progressive games. The poker casino promises weekly tournaments and uses the popular Random Number Generator technology, a process that ensures programmes are fully above board. Corbett’s promotes both Play for Fun and Play for Real Games and is Technical System Testing (TSI) certified. The two new websites will use popular Playtech Software Company, which also provides software to GoldenPalace.com, the Rank Groups’ Grosvenor Casino and CentreBet. Founded in 1999, Playtech has soared to success in the online gambling business and most recently went into business with Malaysian gambling giants, Genting International. Operational management for Corbett’s is through Inside Gaming who also provides management to the prestigious Rank Group, Arena Leisure’s PLC and Ladbrokes Company. The company ensures high management quality and success.
