Before you register at Bethard, take five minutes to read this guide — it could save you time and money. This practical guide explains everything from the first step to withdrawing winnings, with exact calculations on how the bonus actually works. Whether you are new to online gambling or an experienced player, you will find useful tips here, written in Norwegian.

Quick Checklist

  • Check that you are of legal gambling age (18 or 20+ depending on your jurisdiction).
  • Compare the bonus terms: minimum deposit, wagering requirement, and eligible games.
  • Set a deposit limit at the casino before you start playing.
  • Verify your identity with valid ID to avoid delays in withdrawal.
  • Test the mobile-optimized website on your phone or tablet — no app download needed.
  • Read the RTP (return to player) for different game categories; see the table below.

Step-by-Step Sign-Up

  1. Open the mobile-optimized website or progressive web app (PWA) from your browser. You will find the registration button in the top right corner.
  2. Click “Register” and fill in your email, create a username and password. Use a strong password with letters, numbers, and symbols.
  3. Enter your personal details: name, date of birth, and address. Make sure they match your ID exactly.
  4. Choose your currency and set your preferred language. Norwegian is available in the settings.
  5. Confirm your email by clicking the link sent to your inbox. This activates your account.
  6. Go to the cashier and make your first deposit. The minimum deposit is typically low, so you can start small.
  7. If you want the welcome offer, enter the bonus code (if required) before you confirm the deposit. The bonus is usually credited automatically, but read the terms first.
  8. Complete the KYC (Know Your Customer) process by uploading a photo ID and proof of address. This is mandatory before your first withdrawal.

Calculating Your Bonus

Suppose the offer is: “Deposit up to 500 NOK, get 100% bonus.” You deposit 1000 NOK; the bonus is capped at 500 NOK, so you receive 500 NOK extra. Your total balance is 1500 NOK. The wagering requirement might be 35x the bonus amount. Then you must wager 35 × 500 = 17 500 NOK before you can withdraw any winnings from the bonus. If you deposit only 300 NOK, the bonus is 300 NOK, and the requirement is 35 × 300 = 10 500 NOK.

Important: Not all games contribute 100% to the wagering requirement. Slots usually count 100%, while table games might count only 10% or 0%. This means you need to play much more to clear the bonus than the raw calculation suggests. For example, if a blackjack game contributes 10%, then each bet of 100 NOK only counts as 10 NOK toward the requirement.

Game type Contribution to wagering RTP (typical)
Video slots 100% 94–97%
Blackjack 10% 99%
Roulette 10% 97–98%
Live casino 0–10% 94–98%
Progressive slots 100% 88–93%

To maximize your chances, play slot games with high RTP and low variance. The bonus also has a time limit, often 30 days, so check the date you must meet the requirement by. If you fail, the bonus and winnings are forfeited.

Banking & Payments

At the cashier, you will find several deposit methods: Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer, e-wallets like Skrill and Neteller, and often cryptocurrencies. For Norwegian players, the most common are Visa and bank transfer. Withdrawals to bank accounts take 1-5 business days, while e-wallet withdrawals are usually processed within 24 hours. The minimum withdrawal is often 100 NOK, and there is no fee for standard methods.

Always check if your payment method incurs a deposit fee. Some e-wallets charge 2% transaction fee, but many casinos cover the cost. For withdrawals, the casino uses the same method you deposited with, if possible. In Norway, it is important to note that winnings from casinos licensed in Curacao are subject to local income tax, unlike casinos with a license from the Norwegian Gaming Authority or Malta. So our user tip: set aside 20–30% of your winnings for tax, or choose a locally licensed casino to avoid this.

Security

The casino uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption to protect all data traffic. Your personal information is stored securely, and the payment processing is PCI-DSS certified. Always enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account for extra security. This is under “Settings” and requires you to enter a code from an app each time you log in.

Responsible gambling tools include deposit limits, loss limits, and self-exclusion. To set a deposit limit, go to “Responsible Gambling” and enter the maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. The limit is enforced immediately, and you can lower it anytime, but increasing it takes 24 hours to become effective.

Support Guide

Here are some common scenarios and how to solve them:

  • If you forget your password, click “Forgot password?” and follow the email link. If you do not receive an email, check the spam folder.
  • If your withdrawal is pending for more than 48 hours, first check that you have completed KYC verification. If not, upload your documents.
  • If you think you have a gambling problem, use the self-exclusion feature. It blocks your account for a chosen period, from 24 hours to several years.
  • If you want to change your personal details such as phone number, you need to contact support and provide proof of identity.
  • If you experience technical issues with the casino on your mobile, try clearing your browser cache or updating your browser to the latest version.

Support is available 24/7 via live chat and email. The live chat response time is usually under 2 minutes. For complaints, you can escalate to the licensing authority if the casino does not resolve the issue within 14 days.

Worth Knowing

For the best RTP, choose slots like Starburst and Book of Dead, which have RTPs of 96–97%. Avoid progressive jackpots that have lower RTP, because the jackpot contribution reduces the base game return. Table games like blackjack and French roulette offer high RTP but contribute less to wagering requirements, so only use them after you have cleared the bonus. Also, live dealer games often have house edge, so avoid them if you want a low-variance experience.
