Heatz
Table of contents
Heatz delivers a pretty promising first impression, with a clean and intuitive website. From it, we are able to easily discover who operates the casino and their license. This level of transparency is very pleasing. On the other hand, the more we delved in the casino, the less we found this first impression to be anything representative of the actual state of what it offers.
That is because there are tons of disappointing aspects of said services. For instance, the house only has one method of payment it accepts. It has not partnered with all that many game suppliers and the slots library it has to offer is pretty shallow as a result. The disappointments continued when we discovered there are only thee bonuses it offered too. But is that enough to warrant us to recommend staying away from Heatz , or do the positives outweigh its negatives? Here is a full review of the house, to answer this question:
Bonuses
As we just said, there are only three bonuses that are available with this casino. Let's take a look into each of them, starting with a brief outline of what they look like:
Bonus | Min deposit | Max bonus | Wagering requirements | Cash out limit |
First Deposit Bonus | $20 | 175% | 50x | 10x the issued Bonus |
Reload Thursday Bonus | $25 | 70% up to $150 | 50x | 10x the issued Bonus |
Daily Cashback | $20 | 3% | 10x | 10x the issued Bonus |
Before we take a look at each of them, we'd like to examine some aspects of the promotions that are common across all three of them. The first of these aspects is the wagering requirement. Such requirements are extremely common in the industry these days. But they are not as high as the ones Heatz set for its players! It demands you achieve a turnover of at least 50x to withdraw the bonuses and the winnings from them. For comparison with other casinos, they keep such requirements in the range of 30x to 40x at most, and hardly go over these amounts.
Another unpleasant fact about these bonuses is that you are bound by a strict cash-out limit, applied to all of them. This limit is of 10x the issued bonus. Once you reach it, the rest of the winnings you realize with the bonus money will be discarded. This is especially annoying because the high wagering requirement of 50x can lead to a lot of won wagers that grant you nothing. In general, we don't often see cash out limits at all, and when we do, they are not paired with such high wagering requirements.
With these two conditions in mind, here is everything you need to know about each bonus:
- The First Deposit bonus that is issued by Heatz is available, as its name implies, on the firs time you cash in with the house. To claim it, you need to deposit at least $20, which is an acceptable amount for the casino to demand. The way the bonus is calculated depends on how much you deposit. Starting at $20, you get 100% of your deposit as bonus funds. This goes up as the amount of money you cash in increases. The maximum multiplier is 175%, and requires $500 at least to claim. The maximum you can get with the promotion is not mentioned. At any case, this is a pretty generous incentive for first time deposits. It is only held back by the previously mentioned high wagering requirement and low cash out limit.
- There is a recurring bonus you can get each Thursday. It is the Reload Thursday Bonus. The minimum deposit required to get it is $25, which is a bit higher. Also, it is calculated as 70% of any deposit. This time, Heatz has not forgotten to mention the maximum bonus you can get – that is up to $100. As far as recurring deposit bonuses go, this one is also pretty generous.
- Last but not least, the casino offers a Cashback Bonus. These kinds of promotions are a way for players to make some of the money lost on wagers back. The casino counts said losses and restores a certain amount of them at the end of a certain amount of time. For Heatz, this is 24 hours. The percentage restored starts at 3% and goes up the more you deposit, up to 20%. In order to start getting this cashback, you need to have cashed in $20 at lest, though. We should also mention the fact that there does not seem to be a maximum you can claim with the cashback. At the same time, you need to clear a 10x wagering requirement with it. While that is lower than the 50x previously demanded, it is still pretty high, as far as other casinos' requirements for such promotions are concerned.
License
One of the strongest points in favor of this casino is its strict regulation. Interestingly enough, it is not actually mentioned on its website. The casino just features the following logo:
This is the seal of Egaming Curacao – one of the four master license holders which oversee casinos, registered in the offshore destination. Clicking it should lead to the register of the regulatory body, and it certainly did. Here is what the license issuer has to say about Heatz:
The casino is licensed, and there can be no doubt to the contrary! This is excellent, because it means there are strict protections that it complies with, which are very beneficial for the player. Here are some of them:
- Licensed casinos need to conduct thorough KYC checks, which helps combat money laundering, identity theft and other financial crime. These can be annoying for the player, but help create a safe and transparent environment for everyone.
- Consequently, since these checks require a lot of personal data to be submitted to the casino, there are also rules regarding how this data should be stored. You can be sure that Heatz and other licensed casinos keep it safe, because they utilize very high encryption standards.
- The slots you can play on any house's website use random number generators. But who is to say that these will not be biased against you? This is another area in which Egaming Curacao and other regulators have stepped in. Said random number generators are examined by verified auditors to make sure the games are truly fair!
There are a lot more protections that could be mentioned, but you can see why we recommend licensed casinos. Back to Heatz, the website it operates from is available in two languages:
Languages: English, German
There are also several jurisdictions where it does not offer any service. Here is which these countries are:
Restricted countries: Australia, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom, Show All, Afghanistan, Belarus, Belgium, Congo (Kinshasa), Cuba, Curaçao, Czech Republic, Côte d'Ivoire, France, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Korea, North, Liberia, Libya, Lithuania, Portugal, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, South Sudan, Spain, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, United States, Zimbabwe
Deposit and Withdrawal
There is only one means of payment with Heatz – crypto. Here are the known details about it, as well as the particular tokens that are accepted by the casino:
Deposit method | Minimum | Maximum | Processing time | Fee |
Crypto | $1 | Unspecified | Instant | Free |
Currencies: Binance Coin (BNB), Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), US Dollar (USD), USD Coin (USDC)
The minimum deposit with it is very low, sitting at around $1. Of course, it is based on the value of the tokens you deposit. And since crypto is noticeably volatile, that can change – we can only comment on the rates at the time of writing. But the entry cost is low, and will probably stay low for a significant amount of time.
And here is what you need to know about the withdrawal conditions of the casino:
Withdrawal method | Minimum | Maximum | Processing time | Fee |
Crypto | Unspecified | Unspecified | Unspecified | Free |
Once again, you can only cash out using crypto. In general, we are not too pleased with this lack of choice. There are plenty of players who might not want to, or know how to, use the complex payment method. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but most casinos that accept it also offer some more conventional means of depositing and cashing out.
But back to the withdrawals, there is just not much that we know about them. The Terms and Conditions of the casino do not include any kind of information with regards to what the minimums or maximums are nor how fast they are processed internally by the casino and so on.
There is another restriction on withdrawals you need to know about. You need to have wagered your deposits at least once before cashing out. This is a fairly common policy among casinos, and does not raise any concerns. If anything, the requirement is a bit on the low side, comparatively!
Also, we should note that there is no fee for inactivity, which is another common aspect of the services of casinos. All Heatz will do if your account is inactive is remove the bonuses from it.
Games and Game Suppliers
At the start of our review, we mentioned the fact that there are not that many Game Suppliers that are present on this casino's website. The ones listed by Heatz are shown below:
Game providers: PragmaticPlay, Push Gaming, Quickspin, Red Rake, Red Tiger Gaming, Relax Gaming, Hacksaw, Kalamba, NetEnt, Nolimit City, Play'n GO, Playtech, Amatic, Betsoft, Big Time Gaming, Booming Games, Booongo, Evolution, Fugaso, Skywind, Spinomenal, Stakelogic, Wazdan
This is a very low amount, and makes for about 20 Suppliers in total. How does the rest of the industry stack up to that? Well, it is not uncommon for bigger casinos to have the games of up to 100 of these Suppliers available. And speaking of games, there is a pretty limiting amount of them with Heatz . You can play around 2100 in total. They are organized into several categories:
The largest among them has to be the Slots. Classics like the Big Bass Bonanza series are available. You can play the beloved slot, as well as Big Bass Bonanza, Keeping it Reel, Christmas Bass Bonanza and other. Another large slot series available is the Book of … games. Of course, Book of Dead can be played, as well as Book of Tut and more. Other popular slots that you can find within the casino include Wolf's Gold, Sugar Rush, Sweet Bonanza and Stack 'em.
When it comes to table games, you can only play live versions of them. As popular as Live gaming is, there is something to be said about the lack of alternatives. Regardless, you have a pretty good choice of classics, and there are live versions of Baccarat, Poker, Blackjack, Roulettes and other such titles. Game Shows like Crazy Time, Gonzo's Treasure Hunt, Sidebet City and many others can be played too. These let you live out the fantasy of being a participant in such an exciting show!
There is a lot missing from the Games library of this casino, but what it does have is solid enough for new players. If you have played for a long time, these titles can be less entertaining to you, and you might have a better time with another house.
Conclusion
Heatz turned out to be a decent casino, which is held back by its disadvantages. Even though it is licensed, we don't feel like recommending it, based on its bonuses and the strict conditions around them. The shallow games library does not help either, nor the restrictive withdrawal policy.
But on the other hand, if you are a crypto savvy player who is looking for a new place to play, you can find that with Heatz. We just consider there to be better options out there.
