BitStarz

BitStarz launched in 2014 and has collected more industry awards than any other crypto casino — Best Casino from AskGamblers (2017, 2022), Casinomeister (2021, 2022), and LCB (2022, 2023), plus Best Crypto Casino from CasinoWow (2024, 2025). Operated by Gareton B.V. under a Curaçao Gaming Authority licence, it reports 7 million+ registered players (per StarzPartners affiliate programme) and a library of 7,000+ games. Accepts both cryptocurrency and fiat currency.

Games

7,000+ games across slots, live casino, and table games. Software providers listed on the affiliate programme include Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Netent, Microgaming, Play’n Go, Nolimit City, Push Gaming, Hacksaw Gaming, Yggdrasil, ELK Studios, Relax Gaming, and dozens more. BitStarz also runs 16 proprietary Originals including Plinko, Mines, Limbo, Crash (branded “AERO” in the lobby), Roulette, Keno, Blackjack, Slot, Dice, Coin Flip, Tower, Wheel, Diamonds, and Chick ‘N Run. Crash’s provably fair mechanism is genuinely documented in-house — a pre-generated 10-million SHA256 hash chain plus an HMAC-SHA256 step tied to a future Bitcoin block hash, with the exact crash-point formula published on the same page. A separate dedicated Provably Fair Games category (mostly BGaming titles — Plinko, Flip n’ Spin, FlyX Cash Booster, mini-blackjack, mini-roulette) uses SHA-256 hashed, player-verifiable random seeds so results can be independently checked.

Payments

12 cryptocurrencies: BTC, LTC, BCH, ETH, DOGE, USDT, XRP, TRX, BNB, ADA, SOL, USDC. Fiat deposits are also accepted via Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, and more — a genuine fiat balance (EUR, USD, CAD, and a set of local currencies including NOK, NZD, JPY, AUD), kept separate in the cashier from a distinct “Buy Crypto” tab that converts card payments straight into crypto instead. All crypto deposits are instant with no fee.

Minimum crypto deposit: 0.0001 BTC (per-coin equivalents vary). Minimum withdrawal: $50. Maximum per transaction: $50,000. Average cashout time: ~10 minutes.

KYC Policy

BitStarz is not a no-KYC casino. Per Section 7 of the Terms, KYC can be requested at any time and must be completed before funds are released. Required documents:

• Proof of identity: government-issued ID with photo (passport, driver’s licence)
• Proof of payment: document showing amount debited and account holder name
• Proof of address: utility bill or equivalent, not older than 90 days

Withdrawals are suspended until verification is complete. If BitStarz cannot reach you within two weeks of requesting documents, your account is locked. No minimum threshold is published — KYC can trigger before any withdrawal.

Additionally, all deposits must be wagered at least 1× as an AML measure before withdrawal — this applies to regular deposits, not just bonuses. Players who prefer anonymous gameplay should consider Jack.com or BetFury instead.

Our Rating

Verdict

BitStarz is the most award-winning crypto casino on the market, and its 12-year track record is unmatched in the space.

Best for: players in an eligible country who want a recognised brand, a large game library (7,000+), and are comfortable completing KYC before withdrawing. If brand credibility and game variety matter more than anonymity, BitStarz justifies its 8.0/10.

Not for: players who want anonymous withdrawals (KYC is discretionary, no threshold), players in Europe/Brazil/Russia/UK (blocked), or players who want sports betting.

The $50 minimum withdrawal is higher than Stake or BC.Game, and the 40× wagering requirement on bonuses is standard but not generous. Worth it for the brand trust and game depth — not worth it if you’re chasing a bonus or need to stay anonymous.

Rating: 7.9/10
