Winz.io Casino Review

How’s it going, dawg? This is your boy Derrick coming at you with another online casino review. This time, Derrick is going to take a long look at Winz.io and, more importantly, what exactly it offers to Canadian players. This is a well-established hybrid casino that equally welcomes fiat and crypto users. It offers both sports betting and online casino games.

In terms of bonuses, there are only a few of them, but they are all really unique and valuable. Winz Casino hosts a large casino games library, great live chat customer service, and a VIP where it’s crystal clear how to become a member. There is a lot to talk about so let’s get to it, dawg!

Casino Review Details

Winz.io casino came out in 2020. The casino is owned and operated by my all-time favorite company: Dama N.V. They are responsible for some of my favorite online casinos and when you spend a little bit of time at Winz.io, you’ll probably be able to see why.

Winz.Io simply looks better than most casinos. First impressions matter and this online gambling site passed with flying colours. From the way how the UI is designed to how fast pages load, Winz casino is simply a joy to look at and navigate.

Winz.io is licensed by the government of Curacao. This gambling site features over 7,000 casino games, most of those being slots. They also have lots of crypto games, live casino games, and even a dedicated library for jackpot slots.

One of the things your boy Derrick liked and disliked about the casino were the bonuses. For the most part, the bonuses are fantastic. They are wager-less, they offer a lot of benefits but, there are just so few of them. There are some tournaments that make up for the lack of bonuses but I would have much preferred just a few extra deposit bonuses or another free spin bonus. The VIP is basic but it’s clear how a player can become a VIP and the customer support is ready, willing, and able to assist. Okay, let’s take a deeper look at everything now!

Country Restrictions

Here are all the countries that are restricted from playing at Winz.io Casino:

• United States of America, United Kingdom, Spain, France, and its overseas territories (Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Réunion, Mayotte, St. Martin, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna, New Caledonia), Netherlands, Israel, Lithuania, Dutch West Indies, Curacao, Gibraltar, Jersey, Estonia, Belgium, Greece, Serbia, Czech Republic.

The list isn’t too long but it still sucks that a lot of countries aren’t able to play at such a good online casino.

Okay, time for the bonuses. First of all, the main sign in bonus rules. It’s a simple welcome bonus that awards some free spins, depending on how much you deposit. Next, there is a unique cashback bonus that works a little differently than your average cashback bonus. Finally, there is the Adventure mode that awards player loyalty and dedication. Your boy Derrick is also going to look at the VIP for a bit.

Welcome Bonus

The welcome bonus is called Welcome Slots. Depending on how much you are willing to deposit on your first visit, you can claim 50, 150, or 300 free spins. You also need to enter the bonus code: SLOTS. All the winnings that you win from these free spins are wager-less, meaning you don’t have to roll them over at all. But, just in case, you probably should roll them over a few times, otherwise, the casino may label you a bonus abuser or something.

In the terms and conditions, it states that if players try to make a huge withdrawal right away, the casino may implement a wagering requirement so just wait a little while before trying to withdraw these funds. Here is how much you can get for your first deposit:

• 50 free spins for CA$20/0.001 BTC
• 150 free spins for CA$50/0.002 BTC
• 300 free spins for CA$100/0.004 BTC

Also, you can opt for Welcome WOW Bonus and spin the Wheel of Winz upon your first deposit.

Welcome WoW Bonus

• Spin the Wheel of Winz and win up to CA$7,000 or Free Spins
• Use the bonus code WOW on your first deposit
• Golden spin for CA$140 (0,004 BTC) deposit – Max win CA$7,000
• Silver spin for CA$70 (0,002 BTC) deposit – Max win CA$2,800
• Bronze spin for CA$27 (o,0008 BTC) deposit – Max win CA$1,400
• No wagering requirements
• No cap on wins, paid in cash

Other Bonuses

Unfortunately, there really aren’t any other traditional deposit bonuses. The following bonuses are all unique though, so get ready for a treat.

Live and Table Bonus

This is the unique cashback bonus I was talking about earlier. So, normally, a cashback bonus works on a weekly basis. In most online casinos you just get a percentage of all your losses after the week is over. At Winz.io you actually get a percentage of every single wager you make and it lasts for two weeks, instead of one.

How does it work? Well, first, you actually need to deposit CA$50 and enter the code: TABLES. Next, you start playing table games and live casino games. Depending on what you like to play, you can get up to 1% of every single one of your wagers. After two weeks, you get the full amount, and, by the time you do, it may just become a substantial amount. Different games have different percentage contributions:

• Live Roulette, Table Roulette: 1%
• Live Blackjack, Table Blackjack: 0.5%
• All other Table and Live games: 0.5%

Also, just like the welcome bonus, the cashback amount you receive is wager-free so you can withdraw it right away.

The Adventure

The adventure is Winz.io’s version of gamification. Similarly to the battle passes in video games, players collect points by playing games that make them progress through the Adventure. As of writing this, the current adventure is called The Mining but a new adventure gets added every other month or so.

Players can progress through the levels and collect rewards after each level. The first few levels award a couple of free spins but later, players can claim cash rewards. There is also a leaderboard if you are the type of person who likes to show off to the competition.

VIP Program

Finally, we get down to the VIP. Unfortunately, Winz Casino VIP isn’t that much different from any other casino VIP. The benefits you get are the same things we’ve seen over and over again. We’ve got: custom bonuses, higher bets, faster withdrawals, better customer support, more cashback, and Rakeback opportunities, and more wager-less bonuses.

What is different, however, is how you become a VIP, and this is something I greatly appreciate about Winz.io. See, in most cases, online casinos invite you to become a VIP when you’ve spent a large amount of money. They won’t tell you how much you actually need to spend, and some may even forget to invite you entirely.

At Winz.io, all you really have to do is deposit CA$2,500 and enter the code VIP. Now, before you say how expensive that is, keep in mind that most players spend much more than that to become VIPs at other casinos. Sure, this needs to be a single deposit, but, in the long run, this is one of the most affordable ways to quickly become a VIP. New VIP players also get an unlimited 20% Cashback for the next two weeks.

If you like free spins, you will probably be left wanting at Winz.io. The welcome bonus does a great job of throwing free spins at us but otherwise, there really aren’t that many. The first few rewards of the Adventure have free spins, which is nice but your boy Derrick is really craving a weekly deposit free spins bonus. Winz.io does like to host seasonal tournaments and events where the prizes can be free spins, so maybe these might help satiate your appetite for bonus spins.

Time to talk about the games. When it comes to slots, there are roughly 7,000 of them. That’s a lot of slot online slot games. Winz.io even has its own exclusive branded slot game called Winz to the Moon. They also have one of the best live casino libraries I’ve ever seen, a decent amount of regular table games, and even a dedicated category for progressive jackpot games.

As for game providers, the following ones are available to players from Canada:

• 1x2gaming, 4theplayer, Acerun, Authentic Gaming, Amatic, Avatar, Bang Bang Games, Belatra, Betsoft, Bgaming, Boomerang Studios, Booming Games, Booongo, Bulletproof, Electric Elephant, Endorphina, Evoplay, Fantasma, Gameart, Gamebeat, Gamesinc, Gamevy, Habanero, Hacksaw, Hotrise Games, Igrosoft, Irondog Studio, iSoftBet, Jaderabbit, Kalamba, Leap Gaming, Lucky Streak, Mascot gaming, Maxwin Gaming, Northern Lights, Onlyplay, Petersons, PG Soft, Platipus, Play N Go, Playson, Playtech, Pragmatic Play, Pragmatic Play Live, Print Studios, Push Gaming, Quickfire, Quickspin, Real Life Games, ReelPlay, Reflex Gaming, Relax, Retro Gaming, Silverback, Smartsoft, Spinomenal, Spribe, Sthlm Gaming, Swintt, Thunderkick, Truelab, Vivo Gaming, Wazdan, and Yggdrasil.

Slot Games

No shortage of slots here, dawg. You know, even if the casino is more catered to cryptocurrencies and even though there are 7,000 video slots, I always find it fascinating that the top game is, yet again, Book of Dead. I used to love that game but after seeing it for the millionth time, I’m getting bored of it. You can find lots of slots using the various filter that is available on the slot page. You can filter them based on bonus features, popularity, and even themes. For example, you can find roughly, 100 pages worth of “Book of…” games.

Table Games

If you select Table Games from the games library, you will be taken to another page that shows all available game types. There are blackjack, baccarat, roulette, sic-bo, crash games, you name it! Just click on anything you like here and the casino will display a list of all the games available that share that game type. Unfortunately, this also means that these lists show live casino games among non-live casino games.

Even though I don’t much care about mixing live games with non-live ones, I am a fan of this type of categorizing.

Jackpot Games

Ah, a proper jackpot games category! It’s been some time since I’ve seen one of these. Not only are all jackpot games neatly placed here, but they even have those little labels I like so much. The labels show exactly how large the jackpot amount is, so you don’t have to access each of the games until you find the one with the biggest jackpot.
Overall, your boy Derrick really likes this jackpot category.

Live Casino Games

One of the coolest features about Winz.io in general is how you have a switch at the top left of your page. By flipping this switch from Slots to Live you can get rid of every game available that isn’t a live casino game. Not only that, but you also get new categories specifically made for live dealer games.

So, it really makes me sad that casino players have to miss out on Evolution Gaming’s best games because of dumb regional differences and gambling laws. With such a great live casino game library and no Evolution Gaming, the world can really be a cruel place sometimes. Fortunately, you still have Playtech and Pragmatic Play Live games which are pretty good.

Winz.io works great on a mobile phone. I and the guys tested out Winz Casino using most of our android and ios devices and we ran into no problems whatsoever (well, we did have one problem, but that was out Wi-Fi acting up). Anyway, your boy Derrick was able to make a deposit, claim one of the Adventure rewards, play some poker games and even get in touch with the casino’s customer support team (more on that later). Even though there is no app available, I have no complaints about the mobile casino for Canadian players.

Both crypto and fiat users are welcome at Winz.io. It is more of a crypto casino than a traditional online casino but it’s not like they shun away fiat payment methods. For crypto payments, you might need to create a CoinsPaid wallet, so keep that in mind.

Deposit Methods

• Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum Litecoin, Dogecoin, Tether, Ripple, Tron, Binance, Visa, Maestro, Mastercard, Neteller, Skrill, Rapid Transfer, iWallet, Paysafecard, iDebit, Interac, MuchBetter, MiFinity, Siru Mobile, ecoPayz, Mobile Commerce, and Neosurf.
• Minimum deposit: CA$20 / 0.0001 BTC

Withdrawal Methods

• Bitcoin, BitcoinCash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Tether, Ripple, Tron, Binance, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Rapid Transfer, iWallet, Instadebit, iDebit, Interac, MuchBetter, MiFinity, ecoPayz, Virtual Credit Card and Bank Transfer.
• Minimum withdrawal: CA$20 / 0.001 BTC

Accepted Currencies

• FIAT: EUR, USD, AUD, RUB, NOK, CAD, NZD, INR, ZAR
• CRYPTO: BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, DOGE, USDT, XPR, ADA, TRX, BNB, USDC

Just like a lot of great online casinos, many of those are also owned by Dama N.V, Winz.io has a 24/7 live chat customer service. When I contacted the support team, a casino representative answered my ticket within a few minutes. We had a good talk about some of the bonuses and the VIP. During my time spent with customer support, I felt like a valued customer, and at the end of the day, that’s all that really matters.

KYC

One great thing about casinos that accept cryptocurrency is that you don’t have a lot of KYC procedures. If you deposit using your CoinsPaid account, you won’t have any KYC at all, since you’ve already gone through it during your CoinsPaid account creation.

If you, however, use a different payment method, you’ll only need to provide a copy of your ID and maybe a utility bill. According to the terms and conditions, only accounts that show the activity of bonus abuse and are suspected of money laundering will have to provide more documentation (such as Bank Statements, Proof of Residence, etc.).

Available Languages

Winz.io is available in the following languages: English, Spanish, Turkish, French, and Russian.

So how does Winz.io hold up? Honestly, pretty good! Yes, it could use a few extra bonuses and the VIP isn’t anything to brag about, but everything else is top-notch. The bonuses that are available have no wagering requirements, the games are plentiful and varied and the entire website just looks SOOOO good. Your boy Derrick was genuinely impressed with how much I liked Winz.io and I might just come back to it next time I’m looking to blow off some steam. As always, we got you, Bro!
