Chanz Casino Review

IN A NUTSHELL

Casinos are supposed to fun, enjoyable places and Chanz is determined to prove that. It is a casino like no other — one which encourages interaction with other players, allows users to create their own communities and challenge others to games.

You get your own wall, your own friends list and a customer service team that is there to entertain as well as support. It’s a perfect fit for the age of social media.

Chanz has billed itself as a ‘social casino’ and you’ll be instantly aware that it offers a different type of gaming experience from the moment you sign up. It looks different for starters. Everything is controlled from your dashboard with your ‘wall’ featuring prominently. You’ll also greeted by a member of the team when you first sign in because Chanz don’t wait until there’s a problem to interact with customers. The chat functions remain when you open a game so that you can continue to socialize while you play.

That said, the unique concept would not work if it wasn’t supported by a great selection of games, an efficient cashier service and some attractive bonus offers. Luckily, Chanz comes good on all counts, with loads of slots from leading providers like NetEnt and MicroGaming, no max limit on super-fast withdrawals and plenty of opportunities to pick up cash bonuses, free spins and other goodies. Let’s take a look at the welcome bonus first.

WELCOME BONUS

Chanz’s welcome bonus is three part affair that perfectly reflects the friendly attitude of the casino. You even get to join the party for free if you are from Norway, Finland or Sweden thanks to 10 no deposit free spins, which are credited to your account as soon as you register. That gives you the chance to play some free slots in exchange the couple of minutes of time it takes to fill in the registration form.

Players from all countries eligible to play at Chanz receive the rest of the welcome bonus, which is provided upon your first deposit in the casino. That will trigger a 100% cash bonus up to 300 in addition to 50 free spins and the treats keep coming if you stick around because your second deposit comes loaded with another 50% deposit up to 100 and another bundle of 50 free spins.

OTHER BONUSES

Chanz are ready and waiting to share some fantastic bonus promotions with its registered users, and it all starts with a typically sociable cash bonus offering. Because this is a casino that wants to create communities and build friendships, they will reward you with a 25 cash bonus every time you invite a friend to join the site.

Elsewhere, you will find regular competitions with prizes and bonuses to be won. Again, the inclusive nature of the site means that they base many of their bonuses around challenges to encourage you to participate in league and against other players. Other promotions will involve challenges you can complete on your own for the chance to win some great prizes. Expect cash bonuses, free spins and other goodies such as holiday giveaways to be be regularly up for grabs.

SOFTWARE PROVIDER

Chanz has been busy adding some new games to their suite over recent months. Most excitingly of all, they now include a sizeable selection of NetEnt games in their catalogue, so players can enjoy the likes of Gonzo’s Quest, Starburst, Spinata Grande and loads more while building friendships at the social casino. NetEnt titles take their place alongside games from longstanding providers including fellow industry giants MicroGaming and Thunderkick to ensure that players have plenty of choice. There are more than 100 games available and the list keeps on growing.

JACKPOTS

Although there is now a fine selection of NetEnt video slots at Chanz, none of their progressive jackpot games such as Mega Fortune or Hall of Gods are hosted as yet. However, if you are after a 7 figure pot of jackpot gold, you can get your kicks from Microgaming pooled jackpot favourite Mega Moolah, which still holds the record for biggest online casino payout of all time. There are also a few local jackpot games at Chanz so you can play for slightly smaller pots with a greater chance of winning. We would prefer it if you could filter the games selection to see jackpot games only, but that’s only a minor gripe.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Reports we have received from users of Chanz have been full of praise for the site’s cashier system. Deposits are processed instantly, withdrawals are confirmed in double quick time and there’s no limit to the amount you can remove from your account in one go, which is sure to please many players.

When you are ready to deposit, you will be please to know that the site accepts payments from a number of different service providers including Visa, Mastercard, Euteller, Trustly and Neteller. Such secure options allow you to shift money around with absolute piece of mind when using the Chanz casino cashier service.

MOBILE CASINO

You can play Chanz from your mobile or tablet in addition to your computer or laptop thanks to the Chanz mobile casino. The site is fully optimized for both iOS platforms via bespoke iPad and iPhone casinos and Android devices including smart phones and tablets. The game selection is neat rather than enormous, but it is growing. If you do prefer to play from the convenience and comfort of a smaller screen, then you already have a fine selection of NetEnt Touch and MicroGaming mobile games to choose from, and you will find most of the functions of the desktop site — including the ‘social’ features — ready and available to use.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Chanz’s customer support receives full marks from us. The top-of-the-class service is different to the support you receive from other casinos and is a comfortable fit for the ethos of the site. You will immediately receive a ‘friend request’ from a member of the team when you register. This ensures you get a nice warm welcome with a personal touch. Live chat is then available from every page and staff are keen to entertain, as well as help resolve any issues you may encounter. The refreshing chat service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so you won’t miss the lack of telephone support.

SUMMARY

Any casino that aims to do something as innovative as Chanz is potentially on to a winner. However, the execution needs to be good, and we are pleased to see that they have got it pretty much spot on.  The foundations are good, with a growing selection of games, an attractive website, quick withdrawals and generous bonus schemes.

The solid grounding gives the features that make Chanz the ‘social casino’ room to flourish and the inclusive, friendly nature of the site makes this a fun place to play the best slots. Casinos were always intended to be fun, sociable places and Chanz captures that spirit perfectly.
