From the moment you open the casino, you are shown the magician and are presented with a neatly organized casino. Your action buttons are on the left of the page, which is different from most crypto casinos. They have changed the color scheme recently, and I prefer the new look. It used to be a bright blue with yellow highlights, and now it is a little darker which is more pleasant to the eye. The dominant colors are gray, yellow and white, with the occasional shade of blue to contrast nicely.
I also noticed they had recently added a Sportsbook, which is a welcomed addition to this ever growing casino.

Games
Betzino offers Slots, Live Casino and Sportsbook. They have recently expanded the volume of crypto games on offer and it is a welcomed update. Previously, there were only 11 providers and about 1000 games to choose from, now you can choose from 17 different providers with over 5000 games. In my previous experience with BetZino, when accessing a game that was restricted by jurisdiction was really tough, there was no notification or error message. I am very happy to report that this has been updated, and if you wander into a You can easily access the type of game you are looking for with their menu options.
Slots
-
Popular - these games are the most played games available

New - this is where you can find the latest releases by the game providers.

Game Features - here is where BetZino shines above the rest, for me. They have really brilliantly made buttons for you to choose which style of game you would like. They have options such as Megaways, Sticky wilds, Jackpot, Win both ways, Stacked Wilds, Expanding Wilds and more. Once you click on your option, all games tagged with that feature come up for you to choose from.
-
Betzino Favorites - In this category you will find all the favorite games from the BetZino team. It includes a little bit of everything from table games, crypto games, slots and Live Dealer games.

The withdrawal took roughly 6 hours to process into my wallet. This beat their average 24 hour turnaround time as stated on the website. It was an overall pleasant experience.
Customer support
Betzino offers Support using Email and Live Chat. Their Live chat is available between 09:00 and 23:00 daily however when their chat is offline, it will be replaced by a “send an email” button which will direct you to their templated email option. They do also have their FAQ section which is thorough, but there is nothing better than “talking” to another human regarding any issues you may encounter.
I had a really good experience with their customer support. I dealt with two different agents and both were polite, quick, knowledgeable and friendly.
Geos and Languages
There is a rather long list of players who are not able to enjoy Betzino. Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, China, Cuba, Czech Republic, Dutch Kingdom, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Greenland, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Jordan, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Kuwait, Libya, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Norfolk Island, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Portugal, Qatar, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Slovenia, Somalia, South Sudan, Spain, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, Tunisia, UAE, Yemen, USA and all its territories. It could get a bit tricky registering here with a VPN since they require a SMS verification code on registration, but nothing is impossible if you have a few good connections.
They offer the casino, and support in English, German and French. I did notice that the VIP Club infographic is actually standard in French, which is not a great look.
Platform compatibility
This casino is fully mobile friendly and works in both landscape and portrait modes. I did find portrait mode to be more user friendly for me personally, the landscape mode is quite compacted and doesn’t translate as well as the portrait mode.
Site Response Time
The response time on both the website version and the mobile version is sluggish and disappointing. Usually I would chime in with save the cookies and this will help, but it doesn’t on this site which is a flaw from the developers side. The mobile conversion from landscape to portrait and back also takes some time (above average) for it to adjust which is not a good look for sites these days. This does need some work, but if you are patient and this doesn’t affect you and your game play, it is worth overlooking.
After running the site through our trusted Website Performance tester and they concur. It gave it a really low rating stating that height and density of images and response time from the server are the biggest flaws.
Security and Community Reputation
There is no strict security when it comes to Betzino. You simply need an email and password to log in with. There is no option to set up a 2FA profile anywhere on the site, or under the profile option of the account. Their highest sense of security is the SMS verification you are sent on registration. Be sure to choose a long complicated password when registering to ensure the safety and privacy of your account.
Taking a look at the community reputation, it is not looking too magical for this small crypto casino. Casino Guru has given them a 7.9/10 noting unfair terms and conditions. Trustpilot has a few player reviews with no response from Betzino themselves, so it is a biassed 2.3/5. The only feedback on Bitcointalk is a possibility of a domain sale, so no real feedback there..
Alternatives
When looking at online crypto casinos, we look for something that “has it all” which can become overwhelming if all you want to do is wind down after a long day, or if you are looking to make the commute to work go a little faster. I come to you with some “less is more” alternatives to this casino with just that energy.
-
BitVegas - simple with a large selection of games to choose from. There is no sportsbook, and it too is a hybrid casino giving you options to deposit with
-
Bitcoin Video Casino - The most “less is more” casino out there. CryptoCurrency only, no sportsbook, no KYC, just plain good old fashion gaming.
Conclusion
Betzino has a lot to offer in terms of game providers and an overall great experience. The reviews from people are disappointing, I had a great time playing here. I went through the relevant channels and checked all the boxes. It is a very simplistic casino and has a good vibe to it, but reading through the other reviews I feel you may have a hard time and will lose out on any deposits or withdrawals if you don’t check each and every box they require. I would proceed with caution if you are from one of the restricted countries as a VPN will not bypass their inhouse systems.
