BitStarz review

Updated By Martin: 10+ years as a player, now running shifts at a crypto casino

A long-running favourite (since 2014) for players who love classic deposit bonuses: a welcome package, reloads, Bonuz Mania spins on every deposit and weekly leaderboards, with payouts in about 5 minutes. Expect an ID check before your first withdrawal, and check the restricted list, one of the longest we've seen.

Best for

  • Slot players who like deposit bonuses
  • Players who want a long-established casino
  • Telegram users (BitStarz runs its own Telegram casino)

Might not suit

  • Players who want to avoid ID checks
  • High-stakes bonus play (€5 max bet)
Visit BitStarz

Welcome bonus: 100% + 180 FS. 18+, T&Cs apply

Tip: check the restricted countries before you sign up.

Our take

What's good

  • Deposit bonuses beyond the first deposit, including reloads
  • Bonuz Mania: three spins on every deposit
  • 8,000+ slots, including exclusives
  • Weekly leaderboards: €5,000 for slots and €10,000 for table games
  • Its own Telegram casino, with a separate $5,000 leaderboard
  • Payouts in about 5 minutes

Worth knowing

  • One of the longest restricted-country lists we've seen (78 countries)

Bonuz Mania and raffles

With Bonuz Mania, every deposit unlocks three spins that can land a deposit multiplier, 5–50% cashback or a cash jackpot. BitStarz also runs rotating raffles and lotteries, and the prizes change often; recent ones have included a Tesla.

The originals

Blackjack pays 99.5%, and plinko and dice pay 98%, but most BitStarz originals pay between 96% and 97.5%, a little below crypto-first casinos. If odds matter to you, blackjack is the pick. The full list is in the Originals RTP table below.

At a glance

Withdrawals

~5 minTypical time, based on the author's experience.
What “typical” means

This is the typical time for a normal crypto withdrawal: no extra verification needed, ordinary play (for example slots only, no bonus abuse or suspicious activity) and amounts that aren't unusually large. First withdrawals, large amounts or anything that triggers KYC or a manual review can take longer.

KYC reality

KYC

ID before first withdrawal

T&C 7 requires ID, proof of payment and proof of address; without it there are no payouts.

VPN policy

Allowed, except from restricted countries

T&C 4.3 says using a VPN to get around a game provider's block can lead to confiscated winnings.

BitStarz FAQ

Is BitStarz legit?

BitStarz holds a Curaçao license (OGL/2024/165/0185), checked on the regulator's register on 9 October 2026. It has been running since 2014. No red flags on our radar right now.

Does BitStarz ask for ID (KYC)?

Yes, before your first withdrawal. T&C 7 requires ID, proof of payment and proof of address; without it there are no payouts.

How long do BitStarz withdrawals take?

About 5 minutes for a normal crypto withdrawal, based on the author's experience. Withdrawals that need an ID check or a manual review can take longer.

Does BitStarz have a bonus code or welcome bonus?

Welcome offer: 100% + 180 FS. Wagering: 40x the bonus. We don't have an exclusive code for BitStarz yet.

Which countries can't play at BitStarz, and is a VPN allowed?

BitStarz lists 78 restricted countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom and France. See the full list. The terms allow VPNs, but not to get around a country restriction. T&C 4.3 says using a VPN to get around a game provider's block can lead to confiscated winnings. Tip: play from a supported country without a VPN, so your withdrawals go through smoothly.
