  About Bitstarz Casino

Bitstarz was launched in 2014 as a dedicated cryptocurrency online casino and quickly became a high-profile brand for both players who use cyber cash and those who play in fiat currency. The site is owned and operated by Direx N.V. casinos, an experienced operator that also manages successful platforms such as Gunsbet, 7Bit Casino, Playamo and mBit. At the time when Bitstarz began operating, the cryptocurrency concept was still in its infancy. The brand caught that initial wave of interest and excitement and gained the trust of many early blockchain enthusiasts who also happen to love gambling online.

The company was established under the laws of Curacao and enjoys an excellent reputation in the players’ community, and among trusted reviewers. Bitstarz received multiple recognitions in the previous several years. It is accredited by CasinoMeister, it was shortlisted at the EGR 2018 Awards for the Campaign of the Year and Innovation in Casino award, AskGamblers declared it Best Casino 2017 and Best Casino 2018 (Player’s Choice Award) and they also have a Deposit Guarantee agreement with ThePogg.com. In 2020, Bitstarz won the Best Customer Service Award and was also shortlisted for Casinomeister’s Best Casino 2020.

Bitstarz is staying up to date, offering a huge range of games, much larger than it was when the portal started running, more features and also multiple ways to credit your account. Whether you are tech-savvy or not, you can pick among numerous banking methods and also between digital currency and traditional currency. Bitstarz sports a modern, stylish website that uses black wallpaper as background and highlights details with a bit of green or red. Its homepage boasts a big promo banner below which you will see the top games of the day. Japan, Canada, Brazil and India are some of the main target markets for Bitstarz, although the casino operates in many other countries as well.

  Our Verdict

Being a Bitcoin-friendly casino has long ceased to be the main description of Bitstarz. The fact that it accepts multiple digital currencies did bring the brand the initial popularity, but it was the fact they continued to improve and expand their offering that kept them alive and thriving. The website flaunts excellent customer support and an array of carefully selected payment options, as well as a lobby of over 3,000 titles from top industry providers, and even boutique software studios.

There are some minor nuisances, such as slightly confusing lobby structuring and some deposit fees, but other than that the site provides a remarkable experience. We’d recommend trying out Bitstarz online casino without thinking twice. Bitstarz boasts some of the fastest cashout times in the industry, with most withdrawals processed within minutes.
