The BetChan Casino is based on the island of Curaçao and has all the required licences of the local authorities. Curaçao is a renowned gambling paradise and home to dozens of casinos who all have to abide to strict local laws drawn up by the local gaming authorities. You can rest assured that you are playing on fully licensed casino software and that you have a honest chance at winning.
Our first impressions of the website are absolutely fine. The web pages has a good and accessible design – in one view you can instantly see what games are on offer, what the current bonus campaigns are and where you can contact the casino and read all their terms.
Broad spectre of gambling games
The casino offers a broad spectre of games of a very big number of game developers. You will not easily be bored at BetChan casino and can rest assured that all games are licensed by the authorities and will work with a so-called Random Number Generator (RNG) which makes sure you have a fair chance at winning and that the outcome of a certain game is decided completely at random.
Slot machines
BetChan does offer a few very popular slot machines. The slots which instantly took out attention were Book of Aztec, Fire Lightning and Jungle Books. If these titles do not mean a lot to you and if you are looking for your own favourite, then the casino has an interesting option. You can sort the amount of games on offer by software developer. You can thus search your favourite game among such developers as NetEnt, SoftSwiss, Microgaming, Elk Studios, Amatic, BetSoft and a whole lot more of renowned software designers.
Tournaments
BetChan has two unique sides as casino which not many others have. One of the positive aspects were the many tournaments we found being organised by the online casino. These tournaments are not only held at individual games such as one single slot machine, poker or another card game, but also across the entire board of the casino. Apart from playing for extra cash winnings you can also score bonus points at BetChan for every winning bet. The person with the highest amount of points will win a certain tournament and can acquire a nice amount of extra cash money to take home.
Bitcoin
Another unique feature of BetChan is that the entire casino is compatible with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. If you do own a digital currency such as Bitcoin, Ethereum or whatever else, you can choose to spend it with the many gambling games on offer. It is a nice alternative for the standard payments with credit card or bank transfer which are possible as well, and shows how much the casino looks to the future.
For bitcoin users there are two possibilities: you can exchange bitcoin to cash on your online casino account. But you can also directly wage bitcoins at special bitcoin games which are being offered by BetChan. With games such as Fruit Zen, Escape from Alcatraz and Jewels you can try to win even more bitcoins this way.
Other payment methods
Even when you do not have Bitcoin you should not be worried as the casino is very accessible for all gamblers. Besides credit cards and e-wallets there are a few payment options unique to certain countries, among which are iDeal for those residing in the Netherlands and Sofort for those living in Germany. Payments – with the exception of bitcoin exchanges and bank transfers – are all almost immediately processed.
Our own experiences with the casino when it comes to payment with credit card were positive as the amount was directly deposited to our account and we could immediately start playing. Also the payouts went well. After we earned a nice profit on a slot machine and requested this to be paid out on our credit card we managed to receive the money in three working days, which is an above average speed. You won’t have to wait long for your money when you win a nice prize at BetChan.
Bonuses
The bonuses which BetChan is offering to new gamblers can rightly be called very generous, although there are quite a few requirements attached to them. You can get up to 400 euro in cash for free to gamble with, but would need to deposit an amount of money four times as great from your bank account or credit card.
How does the BetChan bonus work?
Your first deposit will come with a 100% bonus up to a maximum of 100 euro, while the three deposits afterwards will see a bonus of 50% with a maximum of 100 euro. Thus for the maximum bonus of 400 euro you would first have to deposit 100 euro, then the next three times at least 200 euro (so 700 euro in total). This seems quite a bit if you play with a small budget, but when you realise that you can get 400 euro bonus for free (more than 50% of what you have deposited in total) than it is an enormous bonus amount. And what is more beautiful than getting free money and to bet it somewhere in the hope that you can double your it?
At every of the four deposits you will also receive some 30 free spins on a slot machine. Do read the terms for which slots these apply and what the exact terms are connected to the bonus system on a whole, as it is not the case that you can immediately cash out your bonus as you would have to meet the wagering requirement.
Loyal customers
The loyalty programme of BetChan is also very special. Every time you bet you can earn bonus points. These points determine on which level you get in the VIP program. There are eleven so-called VIP categories in the BetChan loyalty programme. The higher the category, the more money you will receive in bonuses as a gift. The highest categories also have their own VIP help desk and no cashout limits as well as no deposit limits. Unique is the fact that when attaining the highest level the casino will give you 30.000 euro or even a Porsche Carrera GTS as a gift! You would however need to wage several hundreds of thousands of euros to reach this level, but it does show that BetChan does care a lot about their loyal customers.
Conclusion
We can certainly recommend the BetChan casino: the website is fine, payments are smooth and the welcome bonus can be described as generous. Especially if you are a so-called high roller who can afford to gamble higher amounts of money at casino games this is a beautiful place to start gambling as you can even get a free Porsche!
