Playzee Casino Review

Preface

Playzee Casino is the most recent addition to the White Hat Gaming group of casinos. Like sister sites 21 Privé and Casimba, Playzee Casino is licensed in the UK and Malta, and comes packed with hundreds of top slots and games.

Playzee offers a clean casino website that can be accessed through a web browser in half a dozen languages. You can join Zeegmund, the cheery on-site scientist, as he takes you through the site's games and loyalty awards. Better still, join our review team as we explore this exciting new online casino.

Welcome Bonus

You can grab a Zee welcome bonus when you sign up from the UK. Scientist, Zeegmund, has "concocted" a first deposit offer worth 100% up to £300 for new players.

A minimum deposit of £20 is required to claim the bonus, and you have 15 days to clear the total amount. There is also a 35x wagering requirement on the bonus.

You will also get 100 free spins and 500 loyalty 'Zee Points' straight into your account. The 100 spins are awarded in batches of 10 a day, and they must be used within 24 hours of being received.

Game eligibility: Most online slots contribute 100% of play towards the bonus. There are around a dozen NetEnt slots like Blood Suckers that contribute 20%, but this is quite standard at online casinos. Scratchcards and Keno games contribute 100% too, but table games and card games only contribute 10%.

Other promotions: Apart from the welcome bonus, Playzee online casino has a range of Zee Daily Offers for regular players.

Offers vary from time to time, but include a 'Buzee Monday' deal where players can earn double loyalty points on selected games, and 'Crazee Tuesday' where the casino awards 10% cashback on real-money losses. Sundays are 'Zee Club Day' where customers can win £50 in free spins cash.

Playzee's loyalty program is the Zee Club. Zeegmund gets "experimental" with this VIP club with a range of offers and perks.

There are five tiers in the club (Zee Club, Master Zee, Doctor Zee, Professor Zee, and Zee Secret Society) and you can get the journey started with a deposit of £10.

You'll need 7,500 points to progress to Master Zee, but only need to maintain your status when you reach the Doctor Zee level.

You earn 1 Zee Point for every £5 wagered on slots on the Playzee site. £40 on roulette, video poker and card games will earn you 1 point.

You will receive 500 Zee Points just for making a first deposit. From then on, you earn 100% of your deposit in points every time you load your account. You will also get a £5 bonus for every 1,000 Zee Points you accumulate.

Registration

Playzee online casino operates through a web browser-optimised client that needs no download. Registration can be done through the Playzee casino homepage and only takes a few minutes.

You will need to confirm your account by clicking the link provided by email once you have registered.

All of the usual information needs to be provided – name, gender, date of birth, email address, phone number, home address, username, password and preferred currency.

Compared to other UK-licensed casinos, we didn't get the immediate option to set deposit limits or send verification documents. In fact, we were able to make a deposit straight away without providing any information.

Payments and Banking Methods

You can make instant payments into your Playzee casino account via debit card, credit card or e-Wallets like Neteller. PayPal is available for UK players, as is Boku for making mobile deposits.

Prepaid vouchers like paysafecard are also accepted, and you can use your bank account to make a quick transfer. There are no fees attached to any deposit method.

Minimum deposits are set at £10 on all deposit methods. You can also set daily, weekly and monthly limits via the Cashier page. We were automatically given a daily deposit limit of £10,000, but it's possible to request limits up to £100,000. There are no specific maximum deposit limits for each method, and upper limits depend on your personal circumstances.

All cash-outs are subject to a 2-day pending withdrawal period. After that, cash-outs take up to three business days to complete.

We used a MasterCard to deposit with and found we had no trouble cashing out to the same card. In fact, you can only cash out to the card or e-Wallet you used to deposit with.

In some cases, card withdrawals aren't possible. However, Playzee will action a bank transfer as long as you send Customer Support a copy of your bank statement.

One thing to note: you will have to wager any deposit at least once in order to cash out your money. This is in compliance with Playzee's anti-money laundering policy.

Desktop/Mobile Experience

There is little difference between the two platforms, but that doesn't mean the site isn't user-friendly.

In fact, the Playzee lobby is clean, bright, and simple to navigate. We loved the modern font that Playzee casino have used for tabs, and it's easy to filter out games when you make a search.

Games can be sorted by Top Games, New Games or game type (slots, live casino, etc), and there's a drop-down list of software providers to get to your favourite developers fast.

The personal account area features easy sections where you can view your personal details, track your pending withdrawals, and alter your daily and weekly limits.

The Playzee mobile casino can be accessed through your smartphone browser. There is no download app for iOS or Android, but an up-to-date Safari or Chrome browser will suffice in order to access games.

We found that the Playzee client only worked in portrait mode on our Android device, which made navigating the site a little tricky. The search function is also a bit clumsy on the mobile site but you can still search by game type or provider. As with the desktop version of the Playzee casino software, there are no free-play games on mobile.

You can make deposits on your mobile phone via the Boku service. This is available to UK-based customers and maximum deposits are limited to £30 a day.

In terms of games, there is a great selection of mobile slots and table games to play for real money. There are only around half the number of progressive jackpot slots for mobile that you will find on the desktop version. However, these include big titles like Mega Moolah. There is also a mobile live casino lobby powered by Evolution Gaming.

Game Variety at Playzee Casino

Game selection is the biggest plus point of Playzee Casino. There are well over 1,000 games and slots from a staggering 85 different developers. Major players like NetEnt, NYX and Microgaming rub shoulders in the lobby with smaller developers like Mutuel, Neon Valley Studios, and Pirates Gold Studio.

There are so many games on show that mobile players aren't left out too much. There are still several hundred video slots for mobile, as well as a well-stocked live casino.

There are over 700 online slots and progressive jackpots at Playzee casino. You can filter games in the lobby using the handy sliders. Filter by A to Zee (obviously), or sort by game provider. You can also hunt out your favourite games in the search box. There are no demo play slots at Playzee online casino, which is a big shame.

There are around 60 progressive jackpot slots at Playzee. NetEnt and Microgaming provide the bulk, with classic titles such as Mega Moolah and Mega Fortune represented. You can also access several of Blueprint Gaming's Jackpot King progressives like Cop the Lot and Tridentia.

You can play a full range of card games and video poker titles at Playzee online casino. Weirdly, though, there are no roulette games on the site at all.

NetEnt supply over a dozen of their popular table games like Oasis Poker, Baccarat High, and Punto Banco. Microgaming contribute video poker variants like Jacks of Better and Aces & Eights.

On the mobile client, there are only around 18 table games, and no roulette.

Roulette: There are only two roulette variants at Playzee, and both of them are in the live casino lobby. It seems odd that a new online casino doesn't have a single online roulette game to speak of.

Blackjack: Online blackjack players are treated a little better than roulette players at Playzee casino.

There are over 35 blackjack variants, including NetEnt's Classic Blackjack and Double Xposure Blackjack with high limits. Microgaming's Atlantic City Blackjack offers a slice of New Jersey gaming on your machine.

You will need to have Adobe Flash installed in your browser to play NetEnt's games.

Video poker: There are around 8 video poker games at Playzee, including Joker Wild Double Up from NetEnt, and Microgaming's Jacks or Better.

Other games: Aside from blackjack and baccarat, you can also find several NetEnt card variants like Oasis Poker and Casino Hold'em Poker. Progressive Red Dog gives you the chance to bag a special linked jackpot if you hit the bonus hand.

Game Providers

Betting Limits

With so many games on show, there is a similarly wide range of betting limits for Playzee casino players.

Slots start at just £0.01 a spin, but max bets can reach £500 on some of the higher volatility games.

There is no dedicated VIP table game section, but you can still find some high-stakes titles with bigger limits. Just look for the games labelled 'High' in the lobby. These include NetEnt's Punto Banco High that has a top stake of £1,000.

Return to Player Percentage

The RTP% (Return to Player percentage) is the theoretical payout made on each game to the player over time.

Under UK and Malta law, Playzee casino has regular audits on its software to test for fairness.

Playzee casino doesn't list its RTPs, or produce evidence of its audits. However, we found that RTPs were in the region of 96-97% overall, with the best returns coming from blackjack. Most slots are in the low 90s, and all games come from reputable, audited developers.

Customer Support

Playzee casino has good customer support, which can be accessed 24/7 by email or chat.

In practice, the wait time for live chat was pretty short, and our handler managed to answer most questions well. However, they couldn't explain why Playzee still fails to have a single online roulette variant in its lobby.

Responsible Gambling Features

Unlike some other modern online casinos, Playzee doesn't send regular reminders to players about how long they have been playing. You also don't need to set game session limits upon registering your account.

However, Playzee still takes its responsible gambling duties seriously. The casino is affiliated to leading UK advice and treatment charity, GamCare. You can also set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits via the Cashier when you go to make a transaction.

You can set manual game time reminders as you play, from 1 minute up to any time you want. Alternatively, you can take a temporary break from the Playzee gaming site for 24 hours to six weeks by clicking on the Time Out link.

Our Verdict

Playzee casino is a bright and breezy addition to the White Hat Gaming group of online gaming sites. It has a colourful lobby, a fun character in Professor Zeegmund, and a staggering range of games and limits.

The lack of a phone support line is a problem, as is the complete lack of roulette games. But if you are a fan of online slots and progressives, you won't be able to complain about the 800+ games on offer. Take a trip with Zeegmund, join the Zee Club, and give this fresh casino a try.
