Review Summary

Barz Casino is a music-themed site packed with popular slots and live dealer games. Its run by popular and trusted operator, White Hat Gaming. That means you get a massive game list, fair and safe gambling with good a good support service and reasonable withdrawal speeds. We reviewed Barz in depth to test every aspect of the service. Before we get into the detail, here is a summary of the strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths

• A massive slots selection – there are more than 4,400 slots available to try at Barz Casino covering every format and style you can think of.
• Good customer support – the service is open 24/7 and I found response times to be fast on live chat and staff to be friendly and well-trained staff, with no AI bots.
• Lots of payment options – there are more payment options at Barz than at other casinos so you can deposit and play with Apple Pay and Revolut alongside the standard debit cards and eWallets.
• Reliable withdrawals – payouts are not super-fast but they are reliable. In my test to Paypal the money hit my account within 5 hours. On Trustpilot there are reports of big withdrawal being received within 24 to 36 hours.
• Regular bonuses – every day you can spin the Rock and Reel to claim free spins or a bonus of some kind. You also get cashback on your wagering at £5 bonus for every £5,000 wagered.
• Responsible gambling features – there are lots of ways to manage your spend at Barz including deposit limits, time outs and self-excludes.
• Big range of alternative ‘Scratch and Fun’ games – there are over 100 fun alternatives to slots and table games here. I had a fun time browsing through these and uncovering weird and interesting gems like Pine of Plinko and Diamond Trader.

Weaknesses

• £20 minimum deposit – if you want to deposit less than £20 you’ll need to try elsewhere.
• High wagering requirements – lots of bonuses are offset by some tough wagering requirements at Barz Casino. You need to wager 40x the bonus and deposit value for a match bonus or 40x the bonus value for bonuses credited as part of the loyalty program. These are at the higher end of the scale for UK casinos. You are also restricted to bets of £5 or less with bonus money. This rule is strictly enforced with reports of bonuses being withdrawn for those who breach the threshold when wagering through their bonus balance.

Barz Casino offer a competitive selection of promotions for new and regular players on the site. These are standard offers across all White Hat sites – but given a rock n roll makeover -  and if you have played on others on their network you will be familiar with what is available. They include a daily Bonus Wheel, loyalty program and seasonal prize draws.

Here is a summary of the promotions you get at Barz Casino.

Welcome Offer – 100% Up To £300 Plus 50 Starburst Spins

Sign up and make a deposit of £20 or more at Barz Casino to qualify for this offer. Your 100% match bonus, capped at £300, will be credited automatically along with 50 spins on Starburst slot.

Steps To Register and Claim Your Bonus At Barz Casino

1. Click the green ‘Sign Up’ button on the home page or at the top of all pages on the website.
2. Fill in the form with your details including name, address, date of birth and email address. You must enter all this information correctly. It will be checked using 3^rd party verification tools.
3. If you are asked to provide documents to help with verification, follow the instructions to upload them.
4. You will be prompted to set your own deposit limits if you wish to using responsible gambling tools.
5. Choose your payment option from the list and enter the amount to deposit.
6. You must also choose the welcome bonus from the list of options before confirming your deposit.
7. Confirm your deposit.
8. Your bonus will automatically be credited.

Wagering Requirements Explained

Like most casino bonuses, Barz welcome offer comes with wagering terms and withdrawal restrictions. Make sure you understand them before taking up the offer and remember you can opt not to have the bonus if you want.

• Bonus funds are held on a separate balance to your real cash. You always play your cash first and only move to the bonus funds when the cash has run out.
• When playing with your bonus any winnings are paid back onto the bonus balance.
• You need to wager 40x the value of your bonus plus your deposit before the bonus balance is transferred over to your cash balance. For example, if you deposit £20 and get a £20 bonus then you will need to wager £1,600 (£20 + £20 x 40) before the balance is moved over.
• Only wagers on slots, scratchcards and keno contribute 100% to wagering requirements. Some slots count 20% - check the bonus terms for the full list. Wagers on table games and video poker do not contribute.
• And you must not bet more than £5 per spin when using your bonus funds. If you bet higher amounts your bonus balance may be taken away.

Promotions and Loyalty Program for Regular Players at Barz Casino

The following offers are open to players who continue to spend on the site after their first deposit.

Daily Prizes on the Rock n Reel Bonus Wheel

The Rock n Reel promotion is for anyone with a verified account who has made at least one deposit at Barz. Every day you can spin the wheel to reveal a prize of a bonus, match bonus or free spins. It’s fun and exciting to see what you collect each time and it means every day you get a little bit extra.

Drumsticks Loyalty Program

Barz run a rock n roll-themed loyalty program in which players earn drumsticks for their wagering at the rate shown in the table below. Every 1,000 drumsticks converts to £5 in bonus money. To get you started, 500 points are also awarded for a first deposit on the site.

On this basis I have to wager £5,000 on slots to earn a £5 bonus. If you wager £5,000 on a 96% RTP slot (4% house edge) then your average losses would be £200 (£5,000 * 4%). So, effectively you get back 2.5% on your losses.

Seasonal Prize Draws

There are 3 seasonal draws at Barz Casino. These award some huge prizes but they are pooled across more than 10 White Hat Gaming sites so there is a lot of competition to win. There are weekly ones, tri-yearly ones and annual ones and anyone who deposits and wagers to the correct level will be awarded tickets. There is no opt-in.

Annual Mega Cash Giveaway

The Mega Cash Giveaway runs from February to January and the winner takes the whole pot of £30,000. You must wager £1,000 in any month for your wagering to count, then wager £500,000 to earn 1 ticket.

Major Cash Giveaway

The triannual major cash giveaway runs from February to April, May to July and August to October with £10,000 prizes available in each instance. The winner can choose between £10,000 Apple gadgets, £10,000 home improvement goods or a 7-day safari. In this case you need to deposit £500 in a month for wagering to count, then wager £100,000 to earn 1 ticket to the draw.

Mini Weekly Giveaway

There is also a weekly prize draw with £500 bonus funds shared out equally between 10 players (£50 each). You need to deposit £100 and wager £4,000 to earn one ticket.  

The game catalogue at Barz Casino is of a very high standard. It has both quality and quantity sourced from many game providers to give a broad range of options across slots, virtual tables, live dealer and instant wins. Here is a summary of the main game types.

Game Types

• Slots - video slots, Megaways, cluster pays, scatter pays, retro slots, movie slots and more
• Megaways - over 100 expanding reels games with high volatility and big max wins
• Jackpots - Mega Moolah, WowPots, Dream Drop, Jackpot King and King Millions progressives
• Slingo - a full suite of more than 50 bingo-slots hybrids with exciting bonus rounds
• Live Dealer - blackjack, roulettes, pokers, baccarats and thrilling gameshows from Evolution and Pragmatic Play
• Table Games - virtual blackjack, roulette and poker with side bets and interesting themes
• Instant Wins - over 100 arcade-style games like plinko, virtual sports, scratchcards and video pokers

Catalogue and Game Providers

There are more than 100 game providers represented in the game menu at Barz Casino. Most gambling sites in the UK have between 50 and 100 providers so Barz is certainly at the top end of the scale, making for a rich and varied game catalogue featuring big names, cult favourites and small up and coming studios. Here are 15 top names from the list and some of their best titles.

Online Slots

Slots make up the largest part of the game catalogue at Barz with more than 4,400 to choose from at the time of this review. You can view the whole list using the ‘Slots’ link in the main navigation or use the filters to browse categories like Cluster Games, Big Bass and Rock Music (in keeping with the site’s theme). You can also search by game name or game provider if you know what you are looking for.

Here is a selection of the best online slots at Barz Casino.

*RTP rate at Barz Casino. May be different at other sites.

Return to Player Rates at Barz Casino

The RTP rates at Barz Casino are good, but not excellent. Most games run at around 94% to 96% and games with an RTP range of between 88% to 96% are normally set to 94%. Book of Dead by Play n Go runs at 94.25%; Undead Fortune by Hacksaw Gaming runs at 94.4% and The Dog House Multihold by Pragmatic Play runs at 94.1%. I have seen these games all running at under 90% RTP at some slot sites so the rates at Barz are favourable, if not optimal.

Jackpot Slots

You can chase down some huge progressive jackpot prizes at Barz Casino too. Slots on Games Global’s 3 big networks – Mega Moolah, WowPot and King Millions – are all listed, as are Relax Gaming’s Dream Drops and Pragmatic Play’s Jackpot King slots. Each game’s logo displays a ticker with the current prize value. There are more than 100 games in total with a variety of themes. This is an excellent selection featuring some of the biggest online jackpots available. Here are 5 of the best that we recommend.

Live Dealer

Live Dealer action at Barz comes courtesy of two popular providers, Evolution Gaming and Pragmatic Play, who offer top quality and lots of variety.

There are more than 100 games to choose from with many different versions of roulette, blackjack, baccarat and poker. There are versions that follow the classic format as well as innovative ones like Lightning Roulette with added random multipliers, and Power Blackjack where you can double, triple or quadruple your bet after two cards have been dealt.

There are now also many gameshows that you can play at Barz which attract large number of players to add to the excitement. Many of these feature prize wheels and bonus rounds with big multiplier prizes. Popular choices include Sweet Bonanza Candyland from Pragmatic Play with uses bonus rounds taken from their famous slot and Evolution’s Crazy Time with a 20,000x top win.

The action is streamed in high quality and the atmosphere at the tables is fun and entertaining. Stakes range from 10p in the gameshows up to £100s per hand at the tables.

Table Games

For those who prefer virtual table games to the live dealer variety there are around 50 roulettes, blackjacks, craps, video pokers and baccarats. Once again, the games are very good quality and there is a nice mix of classics like Roulette Platinum and Multihand Blackjack as well as unusual formats like 9 Pots of Gold Roulette and Space Invaders Roulette. There are also some low stakes games like 20p Boost Roulette for those who want to bet with smaller amounts.

Other Games

The list of alternative gambling options at Barz is impressive too. Under the ‘Scratch and Fun’ filter are more than 100 Slingos, scratchcards, instant win games, plinkos, dice games and crash games. There is plenty of variety there for those who want to take a break from slots and table games and try something a bit off the beaten track.

These games are often fun because they have whacky themes. My favourite include the Diamond Trader game where you bet on the changing value of a diamond, with 2 volatility options, and Runaway Chicken where you bet on whether a chicken will make it to the other side of the highway through passing traffic! The Slingo options are also good with more than 50 to choose from including Book of Slingo which adds a Book of-style slots bonus round to the traditional Slingo game format.

Game Menu, Search and Filter Options

The game menu at Barz Casino gives plenty of options to explore the list. As well as some powerful filters to sort the games by there are also options to sort alphabetically or by release date. There is also a 'randomizer' option that will randomly pick a game for you to play. And, you can save any game to your favourites by clicking the heart icon on the logo so you can come back to it later.

Brand, Theme and Design

Barz Casino has a simple design. The Barz of the title refers to the bars in musical notation and the theme is one of rock n roll with a guitar displayed at the center of the logo and rock n roll motifs used throughout the design. It fits with popular slots like NetEnt’s Guns n Roses and Play n Go’s Def Leppard Hysteria. The color scheme is a pleasing blend of purples, whites and blues. Text and game logos stand out nicely, and if you are a fan of the style of White Hat sites Casimba and Casilando, you’ll like this one too.

Site UX and Navigation

I spent some time browsing round Barz and found it very easy to navigate. It’s one of the most simple and modern casino designs we have reviewed and scores well in this category for that reason. Registration is very easy to follow and the account area is simply laid out with functions like deposit and withdraw and responsible gambling tools easy to locate. And when looking for important information like the licensing details, terms and conditions and promotions, everything was within one click of the home page.

Loading times

I tested this site on a Wifi connection on a 2021 Macbook Pro laptop. Loading times were OK, with a small delay – 2 to 3 seconds – when loading new pages or a game. It didn’t spoil my enjoyment of using Barz Casino but it might feel frustrating it you spent a lot of time on the site.

Mobile Compatibility and Apps

Barz Casino is available to play on your mobile on a browser or via the app, but only if you are playing on an iPhone. There is no Android option.

Barz Casino On A Mobile Browser

I tested the mobile browser version of the site on an iPhone 12 with iOS 18 on a Wifi connection. It wasn’t a bad experience though page loading times did feel a little slow. On the flipside, the games loaded quickly and there were no lags when playing the slots. The rest of the site worked OK with the account functions and key information easy to locate.

Barz Casino App For iPhone

The iPhone app can be downloaded from the App store. It requires an iOS of 13.0 or later (September 2019). There is only 1 review so it doesn’t appear to be particularly popular. It downloaded and installed to my iPhone in less than 20 seconds making it is very easy to get started. You can register, deposit, withdraw, play games and set your responsible gambling limits. In short, I found it easy to use and a worthwhile alternative to the browser version for those who plan to spend time at Barz.

Payment Options, Minimum Transactions and Fees

There is a good choice of payment services available at Barz Casino. The minimum deposit and withdrawal is a little high at £20 but there are no fees. The choice includes debit cards, eWallets like Skrill, Paypal and Neteller, Trustly, Neosurf and Paysafecard. Deposits are processed instantly but withdrawals will take longer – more details below.

Here is a summary of all the payment options at Barz Casino.

*Withdrawal time after processing by Barz Casino

Payout Speed

Once you have requested a withdrawal at Barz Casino it will appear in the Pending Withdrawals area of your account waiting to be approved. Barz manually check all withdrawals. On their website it says that this process takes a minimum of 24 hours. However, that is not always the case. During the week withdrawals may be processed in just a few hours whilst at weekends the service is slower. As a rule you should allow up to 72 hours for the team to approve your payment.

After approval by Barz Casino the speed at which your funds are made available will depend on your payment provider. Banks can take a few days whilst eWallets payments will be instant.

Know Your Customer (KYC) Checks

KYC checks are carried out on customers by all licensed betting sites in the UK. They are used to verify player accounts to make sure that they are over 18 and using a real name and address. They may also be used to verify the source of a player’s gambling funds to ensure that they are not spending beyond their means or using someone else’s money.

These are the KYC checks that will typically be carried out by Barz Casino:

At Registration – all player accounts are automatically checked using 3^rd party verification tools. Provided the correct information is entered on the sign-up form you won’t need to provide any documents at this point.

On Deposit or Withdrawal – if you go on to deposit or withdraw significant amounts – usually £1,000 to £2,000 – then you will be asked to provide documents to prove your ID, address, age and source of funds. There is a secure link to do this labelled ‘Upload Your Identity Documents’ under ‘My Details’ on the account page.  

Ad Hoc – you may be asked to provide further documentation if your pattern of play changes significantly or you use an alternative payment method.

What Documents Will I Need To Provide?

Scans, photos or screenshots or one or more of the following documents may be requested as part of KYC checks:

• Driver license or passport – to prove your ID or age
• Utility bill – to prove your address
• Bank statement – to prove your address or source of funds
• Bank card – to prove ownership of the payment method
• eWallet statement – to prove ownership of the payment method
• Payslip – to prove your source of funds

These checks can take up to 72 hours to carry out but will usually be done within 24 hours. Patience is key, but also make sure that you follow the instructions for uploading documents carefully. If you upload the wrong ones, or don't take the photo or scan correctly, it can cause more delays.

The support service at Barz Casino is of a high standard. The team can be contacted on live chat or email 24/7 but there is no phone support option. Response times are quick - usually within 2 to 3 minutes on live chat – and the team are professional and courteous. They don’t use AI bots here either which is better in my opinion. I have also used the email address to contact the support team regarding a withdrawal and received a response within 3 hours.

There is a Help Center too which provides answers to the most common queries put to the support team. It is pooled across all White Hat sites and there is a lot of useful information in there, all categorised to make it easy to find what you want.

Raising Complaints at Barz Casino

If you are not happy with the level of service provided by Barz Casino then you have an option to escalate your complaint to the Complaints Team or an independent adjudicator known as an Alternative Dispute Resolution Provider (ADR). This process is outlined in the terms and conditions and can be viewed via a link in the footer labelled, ‘Complaints and Procedures’. Barz Casino agree to resolve most complaints within 28 days, or up to 8 weeks for more complex cases. The ADR in this case is eCorga who are well-known in the industry and will provide a fair and impartial service to try to resolve the dispute to the satisfaction of both parties.

Barz Casino follows guidelines laid out by the UK Gambling Commission for all license holders to ensure fair, safe and secure gambling. The following features are all in place, ensuring that this is a trustworthy site to play on.

UK License and Company Information – in the footer of every page of the site you will see the operator license number. You can follow a link to view the company information and license history on the Gambling Commission website.

Responsible Gambling Tools – from the account page you can access a link labelled, Play Responsibly. This takes you to a page from which you can set limits on your deposits, self-exclude from all White Hat sites, take Time Outs from Barz Casino, and close your account completely.

Know Your Customer Checks – these aren’t just about preventing under age gambling and fraud, they are also triggered when behaviour that may signal a gambling problem is spotted by monitoring tools. They are an invaluable part of Barz' commitment to socially responsible gambling.

Independent Game Testing – all games on the sites are independently audited by test houses approved by the Gambling Commission. This is to make sure that they are fair and adhere to advertised RTP rates.

What Others Say - Reviews From Players and Consumer Sites

There are several popular online platforms where players can leave reviews of their experiences at casinos. We look at TrustPilot, CasinoMeister and Ask Gamblers to find out what people are saying about Barz Casino.  

TrustPilot

Average score of 1.6/5 from 77 reviews (12 star - 14%, 1 star - 77%).

This score is described as ‘Bad’ by Trustpilot. We should keep in mind that the sample size is very small with just 77 reviews since 2022. This reflects the fact that Barz is a small brand compared to high street names which have thousands of Trustpilot reviews.

Most of the negative reviews concern either slow account verification or complaints from players who broke the bonus terms by wagering more than £5 per spin and had their winnings removed. Take care not to do this!

There are also a few 5 star reviews from players who say they received their withdrawals very quickly. One in just 12 minutes.

Read Barz Casino reviews on Trustpilot

Ask Gamblers

7.3/10 on the in-house Casino Rank algorithm (an automated ranking tool that bases its scores on a combination of criteria including the games, cashier, support hours and player reviews at AskGamblers). This is a solid score from AskGamblers and similar to our own assessment of the brand.

Casinomeister

There are no reviews of Barz Casino at Casinomeister. However, there is a post in the forum from a player who was banned from White Hat sites for bonus abuse. Another player says that happens regularly. It’s worth remembering this and making sure you don’t exceed the maximum stake level of £5 when wagering with bonus money to meet the wagering requirements.

How Does Barz Casino Compare With Other UK-Licensed Casinos?

We’ve compared Barz Casino with 2 other popular casino sites in the UK – Play OJO and Casumo. OJO is on the Skill on Net platform and Casumo is an independent site. We’ve highlighted key points from the comparison under the table.

Notes

• OJO outperforms the other two for the size of its game catalogue. It also performed very well in our review for its game menu with powerful search and filters.
• OJO also has very generous promotions with all free spins winnings paid in cash and a fun loyalty program with level ups and cashback on all your wagering.
• However, OJO has a bad rep for customer support with slow response times frequently mentioned in low scoring Trustpilot reviews.
• Casumo has a similar sign-up deal to Barz Casino but better wagering terms at 30x the bonus plus deposit compared to 40x. Free spins are on Big Bass Bonanza as well which is a preferable option to Starburst in my opinion.
• Casumo has a sportsbook with 100s of betting markets so if you want sports too this is a good option.
• Casumo runs on an independent platform built for one site only whereas both Play OJO and Barz are white label sites with the platform shared by multiple casinos. That makes the experience at Casumo a unique one.
• Casumo scored highest in our reviews at 4.8/5 and offers the best overall performance.

In conclusion I would recommend Barz Casino if you like the White Hat Gaming set up and want to make significant first deposit to claim a big match bonus. It is a consistent and reliable performer in all our tests. However, if you want a more sophisticated loyalty program, tournaments and ‘no wager’ free spins, OJO or Casumo would make a better choice.
