Same operator. BitStarz and Cashy are separate brands operated by the same company, Gareton B.V. (Curaçao), under one Curaçao Gaming Authority licence (OGL/2024/165/0185), which lists both domains. Their terms follow a similar template and their restricted-country lists are identical. We research each brand from its own pages; findings on one are not carried over to the other.
BitStarz – questions answered from the record
Short answers, each backed by the sources on this page. Nothing here is a test result or a recommendation.
Is BitStarz licensed?
BitStarz states a licence from Curaçao Gaming Authority. We found the licence and the exact domain bitstarz.com in the regulator’s register (checked 5 Oct 2026). A licence is a fact about registration, not a promise about the casino.
Who operates BitStarz?
BitStarz is operated by Gareton B.V. (Curaçao), as named in the regulator’s register and the casino’s documents.
Does BitStarz require KYC (identity verification)?
It may be required at any time. Terms section 7 lists the documents (ID, proof of payment, proof of address ≤ 90 days) and state verification may be requested at the casino's discretion, during withdrawal processing "if deemed necessary", on suspicious transactions and before no-deposit bonus withdrawals. FAQ: crypto players do not provide documents "as a standard". No amount threshold is published.
How long do withdrawals take at BitStarz?
The casino itself says: “BitStarz.com shall try to pay out withdrawals within 1 hour, however in some cases, withdrawals may take longer; this would clearly be stated when you choose a method of withdrawal.”. This is the casino’s statement (Aims for 1 hour), not something we measured; blockchain confirmation time comes on top.
Does BitStarz charge withdrawal fees?
No casino withdrawal fee, verified against the casino’s binding terms. The blockchain network fee still applies.
What are the withdrawal limits at BitStarz?
We found no fixed withdrawal cap in BitStarz’s terms; see the “Limits” section for what the casino does say.
Which countries does BitStarz restrict?
BitStarz’s terms list 77 restricted countries or territories. Use the availability check on this page to see whether your country is on the list. Not legal advice – local law applies.
Which cryptocurrencies does BitStarz accept?
The casino names 6 coins: BTC, LTC, BCH, ETH, DOGE, USDT (casino says).
What is the current welcome offer at BitStarz?
100% up to 1 BTC + 180 free spins. Wagering: 40× the bonus. Time limit: 7 days. Checked 5 Oct 2026; casino’s own statement, not part of the Smarter Score. 18+, T&Cs apply.
Good to know before you play
Documented points from the casino’s own terms and the registers we checked. Neutral and sourced, never a judgement of intent.
According to the bonus terms, welcome bonuses must be wagered 40 times within 7 days, bets are capped at 5 EUR/USD while a bonus is active, and BitStarz may amend the bonus terms without prior notice.
The terms state that each deposit must be wagered at least once before a withdrawal and that withdrawals go back to the deposit method (for crypto: the same wallet).
The terms allow a monthly administrative fee of at least 5 EUR on accounts with a balance after six months without login.
