Barz

Barz is a relatively new online casino available to Canadian players. It features a fresh and simple yet modern interface with a minimalist approach to design. The platform, owned by White Hat Gaming Limited, is licensed and regulated by the two world-leading online casino regulators — The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC). Also, it’s worth mentioning that Barz has a license from the Swedish Gambling Authority.

Barz focuses on two types of games — slots and live dealer games. Despite the somewhat limited choice, there are plenty of titles to choose from, and all of them are provided by industry-leading casino game developers. Moreover, Barz offers a hefty welcome bonus, as well as several interesting promotions for regular customers.

Bonuses and promotions

Apart from a great welcome offer, the platform features an interesting promotion for regular customers, as well as a loyalty program that brings additional benefits to the most active players. Let’s check them out.

Welcome bonus

The welcome bonus is available for the first three deposits. Here’s what you can get.

• 1st Deposit — 100% Match Bonus up to $500 + 50 Free Spins on Book of Dead
• 2nd Deposit — 50% Match Bonus up to $500 + 30 Free Spins on Thunderstruck II
• 3rd Deposit — 25% Match Bonus up to $500 + 50 Free Spins on Rise of Olympus

This welcome bonus is only valid for new players and the first three deposits. The minimum amount you need to deposit in order to claim every bonus is $20. The maximum amount per deposit is $500, meaning you’ll have an opportunity to receive up to $1,500 in bonuses across all three deposits.

As you can see, each bonus comes with the addition of a free spin to it. You can use the spins only on eligible games, which are indicated next to every deposit bonus.

The wagering requirements for the bonus is 40x the total of deposit, bonus money, and free spins winnings. However, not all games contribute the same towards the wagering requirements, so make sure to read the bonus T&Cs page to learn more about this.

The maximum bet you’re allowed to make when using the bonus amount is $5. If you bet more than that, the casino reserves the right to confiscate your winnings.

Unused free spins will expire after ten days, whereas unused bonus funds expire after 30 days. In other words, you have 30 days to either use your bonus funds or meet the wagering requirements.

Loyalty programme & VIP lounge

You can collect points called Barz as you play games. The number of Barz you’ll receive mainly depends on the type of game you play. For example, for every $10 you spend on slots, you’ll get 2 Barz (this also applies to scratchcards). On the other hand, playing roulette games will give you only 0.25 points. Make sure to check the official table on the site to learn how Barz is awarded.

Once you collect enough Barz, you can redeem them for bonus money. The minimum amount you’re allowed to redeem is 1,000 Barz.

The loyalty program also comes with a set of rules stated in its T&Cs section, which we recommend reading.

The platform also features a separate VIP program which offers a dedicated account manager and many additional perks. There are four VIP tiers — Silver Barz, Gold Barz, Platinum Barz, and Diamond Barz, with each tier offering more lucrative benefits.  

Available games

There are two main categories of games available at Barz — slots and live dealer games. What’s really impressive about Barz game collection is that it features dozens of providers from the industry. Apart from the industry-leading names, such as NetEnt and Microgaming, you’ll find games from many less popular companies, including Playko, Pear Fiction, Mutuel Play, Max Win, and others. Right now, you’ll find games from 80 different providers, which is the most we’ve ever seen in a single online casino.

Some of the popular slots you’ll find at Barz are:

There are literally hundreds of slots available, and some of them even feature progressive jackpots.

What we particularly liked about the game section is the Play a Random Game feature, which is pretty self-explanatory. If you’re not sure which game to play on the site, it will randomly select and suggest a title for you. It may seem like a small and insignificant feature, but the devil’s in the details, and that’s what makes Barz stand out from the pack.

Pros & cons

The majority of games in the Live Dealer section are provided by Evolution Gaming and Pragmatic Play. You’ll find all kinds of popular game shows, including Crazy Time, Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt, Mega Ball, Deal or No Deal, Monopoly Live, Football Studio, Dream Catcher, and others.

Review Summary

To sum up, Barz is a great online gambling platform that met all our expectations. It’s new, fresh, and intuitive. Most importantly, it features a decent welcome offer and a wide array of games that are often played in Canada, such as slots and live dealer games. 

The platform accepts a wide array of payment options and offers superb customer support 24/7. We couldn’t find any big disadvantages for the platform except for the lack of some RNG table and card games, but that can easily be fixed, given that the casino offers games by 80+ different providers.
