BitStarz operates at bitstarz.com and holds Curaçao Gaming Authority licence OGL/2024/165/0185. The licence is held by Gareton B.V., and the register entry was active when these facts were checked on 26 August 2026. The site records an original-games section and a VIP programme, but no game count or studio list is part of this review.
The operator's terms make Know Your Customer an obligatory player verification procedure. The casino may require proof of identity, proof of payment and proof of address, and may ask for additional documentation at its sole discretion or during deposits. No fixed monetary threshold is published in the sources captured here.
The terms also publish a restricted list of 74 country codes, and users from those countries and their territories are not allowed to deposit and play real-money games. Deposit and withdrawal figures, bonus terms and support channels are not quoted on this page; the cashier and current terms are where those appear.
This review is written from public terms and the licence register, not from play-testing. The facts were checked on 26 August 2026 and should be confirmed against the operator's own pages before a deposit. Operator terms change without notice, and the live cashier is the controlling document for transaction terms.
What BitStarz is, and who runs it
BitStarz operates at bitstarz.com under Curaçao Gaming Authority licence OGL/2024/165/0185. The licence is held by Gareton B.V., and the register entry was Active when checked on 26 August 2026. The site records an original-games section and a VIP programme, but this page does not hold a game count or studio names.
The operator's terms make KYC an obligatory verification procedure, which means a player should expect to be identified before funds are released. The terms do not state a founding year, and no parent company or sister brand is captured beyond the licence holder, so those details are absent here.
This review is based on the operator's published terms and the licence register, not on play-testing. Readers who need current bonus, deposit or support details should treat the operator's own pages as the source. The facts were checked on 26 August 2026, and operator terms can change without notice.
The licence: who holds it and what it covers
The licence number is OGL/2024/165/0185, and the holder named in the Curaçao Gaming Authority register is Gareton B.V. The register lists the status as Active. The entry is public at cert.cga.cw, so a reader can confirm the licence and the holder directly rather than relying on this page.
The licence is attached to the corporate entity Gareton B.V., so that is the party a player is dealing with when the terms impose verification or restricted-country rules. The extraction does not include any separate product endorsements or additional licences beyond this Curaçao entry.
What the terms say about verification
The terms describe Know Your Customer as an obligatory player verification procedure. The casino may require proof of identity, proof of payment and proof of address, and it may request additional documentation at its sole discretion or during deposits. That wording gives the operator broad room to ask for documents.
No fixed monetary threshold for verification appears in the sources captured here. The clause reserves a right rather than fixing a figure at which KYC begins, so a player should not assume verification only starts above a certain deposit or withdrawal amount.
Because verification can be triggered during deposits, a player planning a large transaction should have identity, payment and address documents ready before funding the account. Check the current terms for any updated wording on the operator's own page. The cashier does not override these terms.
Deposit and withdrawal limits in the terms
The terms captured for this page do not publish a fixed deposit or withdrawal ceiling. A withdrawal cap may exist, but if it does it is stated in the cashier or in current terms rather than in the clauses read here. This page will not invent a figure.
The minimum deposit is also not recorded in these sources. The cashier shows the minimum per asset and network, so the figure can differ by payment method. A reader should check the cashier before depositing rather than relying on a third-party review. No number is quoted here.
The accepted assets are not listed in the fact table either. The cashier is the only current list of which coins and networks BitStarz accepts, and that list can change without notice. If a particular asset matters to you, open the cashier and confirm it supports the network you intend to use.
How a withdrawal actually moves
A withdrawal starts with a request in the cashier. The operator's approval step comes first, and that is the point where the KYC clause may be invoked if the operator wants documents before releasing funds. The approval step is separate from the network confirmation step.
After approval, the transaction moves to the asset's network. The number of confirmations required depends on the network, not on BitStarz, and this page does not attach a duration to either the operator's approval or the network's confirmations. Both periods exist for every player.
Countries BitStarz does not accept
BitStarz publishes a restricted countries list in its terms. The list contains 74 ISO alpha-2 codes, and the clause states that users from those countries and their territories are not allowed to deposit and play real-money games. The full list is in the operator's terms.
The list includes the United Kingdom with the note 'including any overseas territories', which implies additional British overseas territories not separately coded in the extraction. The ambiguous entries around 'Congo' and the reference to the Dutch West Indies are not resolved here.
Because operator terms change, the only safe move is to open the current terms and check the restricted list against your own country before registering. This page will not name a country as accepted or excluded beyond what the terms publish. The clause is self-contained.
What this page could not confirm about BitStarz
This page could not confirm a founding year, a game count or a list of game studios for BitStarz. The terms pages and register entry captured do not carry those figures, and the lobby on the operator's own site is the only current list of its catalogue.
Bonus terms are deliberately not held because promotional terms change faster than this library is reviewed. The current offer, its percentage, cap, free-spin count and wagering multiple, if any, belong on the operator's promotions page, not in this review. No bonus figure is quoted.
Support channels, complaints history and any payment-dispute record are also absent from this fact table. A player who wants to know how quickly BitStarz answers or how disputes have resolved would need to consult sources beyond this page, as this review will not characterise the operator's reputation.
Ownership beyond the licence holder Gareton B.V. is not captured. The absence of a fact in this table is not evidence that the fact does not exist; it means this page cannot confirm it. The same applies to accepted assets and processing durations.
Who BitStarz suits, and who should look elsewhere
BitStarz may suit a reader who values a Curaçao Gaming Authority licence that can be checked in a public register, with a named corporate holder and an Active status on record. The recorded original-games section and VIP programme are positives for that reader, though the catalogue size is not confirmed.
A reader who needs fixed deposit and withdrawal figures before signing up should look elsewhere. The terms captured here do not state a minimum deposit or a withdrawal cap, and the bonus offer is not quoted, so this page cannot tell a player exactly what they will pay or receive.
The same is true for anyone in one of the 74 restricted country codes or their territories. Those readers are told by the operator's terms that they are not allowed to deposit and play real-money games, and there is no advice here about working around that restriction.
BitStarz is wrong for a player who wants a fully transparent terms page that answers every limit and processing-time question before registration. That player should read the operator's cashier and promotions pages, and verify the restricted list and verification clause in the current terms before depositing.
From sign-up to withdrawal
01
Open the register page
Go to bitstarz.com and start the account registration. Provide the details the operator asks for; the terms make KYC an obligatory procedure, so use accurate information from the start.
02
Fund the account
Use the cashier to see the accepted assets and the minimum deposit for the method you choose. Send only from a wallet or payment method you control and whose ownership you can document.
03
Expect verification
Be ready for the verification clause to be invoked. The operator may require proof of identity, proof of payment and proof of address, and may ask for more at its discretion, including during deposits.
04
Request a withdrawal
Go to the cashier and request a withdrawal to a wallet you control. The operator's approval step comes first, and it may ask for documents before releasing funds.
05
Wait for approval
The operator processes the withdrawal internally. No processing duration is stated in the sources captured here, so do not rely on a time estimate.
06
Wait for network confirmations
After the operator approves the transaction, the asset's network confirms it. The number of confirmations depends on the network, not on BitStarz.
