Betzino Review: Scam or Safe?

Betzino is an average online casino, that is to say that there's nothing really bad about it, but there's also nothing really revolutionary either.

BONUSES

Welcome Deposit Bonus at 150% up to €200 Plus 100 Free Spins: The free spins apply on the ever popular Book of Dead. The minimum deposit to activate the bonus is €20, and there's a 40x wagering requirement that must be met in order to withdrawal. The maximum bet allowed per spin is €5.

VIP Tuesday Cashback Bonus: There's no real information on the amount of cahsback the user gets, but it seems that it is tied to the VIP level. Log into you account on a Tuesday to see what you are eligible for.

Wednesday Happy Hour Deposit Bonus of 30% up to €250: Wednesdays afternoon all players can activate this bonus. You only have to invest €20. VIP players get to start earlies with a 30% up to €500 bonus. There's a 40x wagering requirement for normal players, and 30x for VIP ones. The maximum bet allowed during the bonus is €5.

Friday Deposit Bonus of 35% up to €250: On  Friday, get the bonus stated, or if you're a VIP get 35% up to €500. You need only invest at the very least €20 to activate the bonus scheme. The bonus has a 40x wagering requirement for standard users, and a 30x for VIP ones. The bonus maximum bet is again €5; anything over that won't count towards the wagering and may even void your bonus.

Weekend Deposit Bonus of 50% up to €100: During the weekend standard players can get the bonus in bold, while the VIP ones get a special offer of 50% up to €250. You only need to invest at the very least €20 to be eligible for the scheme. There's a 40x wagering for users, and 30x for VIP players. The maximum bet remains at €5 per spin.

VIP Magic Circle: This is quite the odd little VIP scheme, and as far as we know it can be a bit weird to get in to. For one, there's no real information on how to accumulate points; it never says if only by simple investing and betting you get to stack points and levels. But it does say that access to the VIP Magic Circle is decided by the casino at its own discretion, suggesting a choice by merit. Anyway, there are 5 levels in total, with weekly cashbacks, free spins, exclusive offers, VIP managers, personalized gifts, and more extras.

Tournaments: Tournaments are big here, as there were three active at the time of writing this. And not just any tournaments but the cult classic Drops and Wins by Pragmatic Play, and one by Yggdrasil. These are a great way to play games against other players and reach the high score to get exciting rewards. Of course, each tournament comes with its own bonus terms and conditions so make sure to go through these.

LICENSE

Betzino is owned by Purple Bay B.V., by which is it also operated. And thus this firm is the one to be regulated by Curacao, holding the best license from the nation, an Antillephone one.
Torstar Ltd. is said to be the payments processor firm, meaning that all your payments are transferred to it and processed by it. The company is based is Cyprus.

So, Betzino is licensed by the Curacao regulator, but doesn't that make it an offshore casino? Technically it does, but there should be no stigma attached here for the Curacao jurisdiction has proven ones and for all that it can handle online casino regulations. Just look at how many casinos are currently licensed there; an unprecedented number, higher than any other jurisdiction for sure. So, the only risk with Curacao casinos is the risk we all take when gambling.

It's safe to say that Betzino is covered by the most prolific and modern anti fraud and data breach curbing software and polices around, essentially eliminating all threats without the user ever having to worry about a thing. All his money and personal data are safe and secure, meaning that he needs to worry only about the management of funds.

The casino is also a guaranteed no biased zone, which translates to a place where all games of luck are chance-based, purely, delivered by random number generator software. It is as if you were playing a real life slot games or table, or otherwise, and the only thing you can blame when you lose is your luck.

Then there's the issues of gambling addiction that is a serious note on the Curacao license, and one that the casino must take diligent care to notice and tackle. If there should be a user exhibiting gambling addiction behavior the casino has to act, and it will. There are many ways in which it can step in, but the best one is to redirect the client to a third part source that specializes in treating gambling addiction.

A good customer support service is also a requirement, albeit one that is not so commonly referred to. But think about it. A good customer service means a good reputation for the casino, and a happy clientele that has all its needs met. In other words, a good support team can literally change the image of a casino from good to bad, and vise versa.

And of course, there's the major advantage of being regulated in Curacao, that of being granted the freedom to offer more games and game providers, as well as bonuses and other features. Not all casinos take advantage of this, and it's arguable if Betzino has done so as well.

DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL

Currencies: Euro (EUR), US Dollar (USD), Ethereum (ETH)

In the legal documents, we find out about the above mentioned payment methods, but there was always a feeling that something was missing, so perhaps there are other systems we do not know about. Also the presence of crypto adds a layer of risk that could easily be avoided.

There was also no minimum deposit revealed anywhere, and that's quite an issue for users wanting these details before registering. As for the withdrawals the maximum is €2000 per day, but there is no minimum whihc again might pose some issue to clients. Also, for some reason, debit card withdrawals are prohibited with Betzino.

In the legal documents it is said that the casino only accepts EUR as its main currency. However, further down the document it refers to ETH saying that the minimum deposit and withdrawal with ETH is 0.01. This seems very out of place, not to mention confusing considering that just a moment ago the only availabel currency is Eur. Now, all of a sudden cryptocurrencies are a part of it. What's next? Furthermore, the bonuses terms and conditions reveal them to be in both Euro and Dollars, so there's that extra layer of confusion to consider. Our issue with the base currency stems from the fact that there are always currency conversion fees to consider, and the fact that we have no clearance on the base currency, means that currency conversion fees may apply more often than not.

Aside from these fees, there are also to consider the payment fees, and we saw the ambiguity of those.

There's also a 2% commission applies to users that make more than 25 withdrawal requests, that is approved ones, per month. This fee is extremally niche and seems quite unnecessary.

There's also an undisclosed administration fee applied when an account has not been active for more than 12 months.

These are definitely not the clearest payment grounds, and are quite disorganized. New users that are pedantic where payment systems go will not find it easy to make an informed choice, and that can only hurt the casino's numbers, because the user can always go to a better casino.

GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS

Games are well defined here, with a great filtering system called “Games Features” where all slot types have been neatly categorized: Stacked Wilds, Respins, Gamble Option, Expanding Wilds, Multipliers, Buy Feature, Cascading Symbols, and many more.

As for the slots, we have the hugely popular Twilight Princess, Big Bass Crash, Rainbow Reels, Gates of Olympus, Sugar Rush, Rise of Olympus, Valley of the Gods, Book of Dead, Royal Joker, Madame Destiny Megaways, Wolf Gold, and more. These are just a part of the big video slot collection, there's also a great selection of less popular ones. Overall a solid collection.

Live games are also quite good, and there's enough here to keep clients entertained. With the likes of Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Poker, Dice, Game Shows, Andar Bahar, and more, the user can get into live games here, or can jump right in to what's familiar to him.

But that's all the games there are here on offer. It's definitely not the best collection, but it's not the worst. However, being average in such an industry doe snot give Betzino a competitive edge. There are no alternative games, no casual titles, and no sportsbook. The casino would benefit greatly from all these additions.

Game providers: PragmaticPlay, Evolution, Play'n GO, Yggdrasil, Relax Gaming, Nolimit City, NetEnt, Big Time Gaming, Push Gaming, Quickspin, Gaming Corps, Red Tiger Gaming, Playson, PGSoft, Spearhead

CONCLUSION

Betzino can be a good choice for first time players, but returning users or those wanting something a bit bigger or more exciting will not find it here. In other words, Betzino it average to its core.
