BitStarz Facts, Checked Against Sources
| Item | What the sources say |
|---|---|
| Operator | Gareton (Casino.org says Gareton N.V.; The Spike and CryptoSlate say Gareton B.V.) |
| Launched | 2014 (all three sources) |
| Licence | Curaçao (all three sources). Casino.org and CryptoSlate both give the number OGL/2024/165/0185. |
| Cryptocurrencies | Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Tether (all three sources); the sources also list Cardano, Bitcoin Cash and others. It also accepts fiat (CryptoSlate), so it is not crypto-only. |
| Game providers | Pragmatic Play, BGaming, Belatra and Platipus are named by Casino.org and The Spike |
| Verification | Identity verification is required: Casino.org lists proof of identity, address and payment ownership, and The Spike says verification documents are reviewed (1 to 12 hours) |
| Restricted countries | Restrictions exist; CryptoSlate lists many (including the UK, US, Netherlands, Spain, France, Australia) but the other sources list none, so check the terms for your location |
Where the Sources Disagree
The sources disagree on the company form (N.V. or B.V.) and on the countries where BitStarz is restricted. We do not pick a side; check the operator name and the terms for your location.
What It Means for Players
A licence says who is accountable, not how good the casino is. Offers, wagering rules and country restrictions change often, so we print no bonus figures; read them in the casino’s own terms. The FATF standard sets casino customer due diligence from USD/EUR 3,000 (FATF), and operators can ask for identity documents earlier. The house edge applies to every bet (Wikipedia; TheGameHaus).
Set limits first. Use deposit and loss limits in your account settings, and check that online gambling is legal where you live. If gambling is causing you harm, BeGambleAware and GamCare offer free, confidential support.
