Rootz Expands Wildz with New Sportsbook Feature
Wildz, the flagship casino brand from Rootz, has introduced a sportsbook alongside its established online casino platform. The sportsbook is designed to seamlessly integrate with Wildz’s casino experience, making it easier for players to transition into sports betting. While the new addition boasts popular features like 24/7 live streaming, live chat, streamer content, and podcasts, there’s a concern for players new to betting.
Casino players, who may not have much experience in sports betting, could face challenges in this new format. Wildz has been criticized in the past for reducing RTP (Return to Player), which may be problematic when applied to the sportsbook. If the RTP is cut, players can expect worse odds and lower potential payouts, which could lead to unbalanced and unsatisfying betting experiences. In fact, this casino is in our Blacklist!
The sportsbook includes features like a "Bet of the Day," shared bets, influencer wagers, and personalized betting options. However, with the casino’s RTP issues, the sportsbook's odds may not be competitive or attractive to those familiar with better betting experiences. Rootz CEO Sam Brown touts the idea of "Get More" with the combined offering, but for those accustomed to fairer returns, this could mean less value and more frustration.
Mark Simmonds, Head of Sportsbook at Rootz, believes integrating the sportsbook with the casino is the way to go, allowing players to enjoy both activities on one platform. But the question remains: can Wildz deliver a fair and competitive betting experience, or will the reduced RTP continue to hinder both casino and sportsbook players?
As Wildz expands globally, it’s clear that offering both casino and sports betting is part of a larger strategy, but players may want to think twice before diving in—especially if they’re looking for a quality, fair experience.

EdwardsPatricia2 Come on, Bonanza is really the best, it has saved my bank many times. If it weren't for it, I would have been sitting in the red for a long time. But the music is already boring, it's really annoying, I always turn it off.
CunningHawk People have so much free time - to lose at the casino, watch streams and go to work to earn money for the casino. Amazing.
LisaTheTrustworthy Fallsview is total crap! I was there, queues everywhere, the staff is rude. And the prices in the restaurant are just outrageous! I don't recommend it to anyone.
CharlesThomas No surprise here—gambling keeps breaking records because it’s everywhere now. From online casinos to sports betting, it feels like everyone’s cashing in except the players!
dorothycarter4t It’s always the same story—big money talks, and everyone else suffers. Gambling ads flood every sporting event, and now the government can’t even agree on basic reforms? Disappointing but not surprising.
BettyTheBrilliant While the levy is a step in the right direction for tackling gambling harms, we need to make sure operators don’t just pass the cost onto players by lowering RTPs. It should be a win-win for both the industry and consumers.
AdamsJennifer Finally, a use for all those meme coins I bought on a whim! Turning them into USDT and hitting the slots at BitStarz sounds like a win-win to me.
HelenTheKindhearted 4Kasino and Betcoin seem to keep up the standards, but Sportaza and Dream.Bet in the blacklist? These scammers are at it again.
AllenBetty9 You look at everything so seriously. Well, streamers are streamers, what's there to worry about, there are thousands of them
BrianTheZealous Come on, seriously? I've been playing their slots for 3 years now, I would never have thought that they had such a dark past. And now they are truly one of the best providers.
CharlesTheSpirited Wildz hosting an esports tournament feels like a sneaky way to market their casino to younger audiences. Reduced RTP rates and now targeting gamers? Hard pass for me. Thanks for the heads-up about this shady tactic!
CarolTheCunning I was so excited when I heard about The Walking Dead slot, but if the RTP isn’t fair, what’s the point? Fans deserve better than flashy branding with poor payouts.

Combining a casino with a sportsbook is smart, but the reduced RTP has me skeptical. I’d like to see some transparency on how the odds stack up.
As a casual bettor, I’m curious to try the sportsbook. But if the RTP is reduced, I’m not sure it’ll be a fair game for anyone. Let’s see how this plays out.
Wildz was a go-to for casino games, but now with the sportsbook, it feels like they’re trying to offer everything, and I’m not sure it’s for the best.
Streaming, podcasts, and live chat sound cool, but if the RTP is low, I can’t see how the odds will be any better. Anyone else worried?
I love the idea of combining casino and sports betting, but with Wildz's history of reducing RTP, I’m not sure it’ll be a great experience for sports betting.
