About Bitstarz
BitStarz was launched in 2013 and was the first online casino to offer a combination of Bitcoin and other currencies. They are championing Bitcoin as a currency for online gaming and is mentioned frequently throughout their site, which also offers special Bitcoin games.
BitStarz’ Website
The BitStarz site is one of the clean, modern styles of casino site. It has a nice subtle geometric pattern in the background, which is a nice modern touch which doesn’t detract from the games. The chunky top banners featuring graphics from various games are of a high quality and rotate regularly to add interest and give you details of all their latest promotions.
The home page features a selection of games under the headings ‘Top Games’, ‘New Games’ and ‘We Like’ which provides quick and easy access to a selection of games if you’re not sure what you want to play.
This page is referred to as ‘The Lobby’ and besides here you can navigate to ‘Slots’, ‘Jackpots’, ‘Table Games’ and ‘Live Casino’ using the top menu. Here you’ll also find a limited pair of filtering and sorting options, which basically allows you to filter by provider or sort alphabetically.
We would like to see a little more from the filtering options, particularly considering the hundreds of games BitStarz have. Filtering by theme or popularity for example would be a good addition. They do have a nice little feature called ‘feeling lucky’ which randomly selects a game for you, this is a nice way to try out some new games you might not usually go for.
Bitstarz have a great range of payment providers, featuring a good mixture of wallets, online debit and credit cards and cryptocurrencies.
These include:
- Visa
- Mastercard
- Bitcoin
- Skrill
- Neteller
- Paysafecard
- Zimpler
- Wirecard
- Webmoney
- Mifinity
Games on Offer
BitStarz offer hundreds of games from a number of providers and of most interest to us, almost all of the NetEnt slots including the latest ones and 110 in total. Currently, this includes only one Roulette live casino offering but we’re told there should be more live casino games on offer in future.
Unfortunately, there are no NetEnt jackpots at all so we would hope this might change in future too. What we do like is that all compatible games are available to play on mobile devices, through your browser rather than downloading an app.

Trustworthiness of BitStarz
This might be the most we’ve ever had to say about trustworthiness! Besides their license being in Curacao (not our first choice) BitStarz seem to be a highly trustworthy casino. To start with, they are highly secure and use SSL encryption technology. Anyone playing using Bitcoin also have the added security of deposits and withdrawals being made using Blockchain transaction approval processes.
In addition to the above, BitStarz offer 24/7 live chat and email customer support, rapid withdrawals promised within 10 minutes or less and finally, they have their own way of assuring fairness. There is a huge page on the site devoted to their ‘provability’ mechanism, which basically allows interested players to check that their spins were genuinely randomly generated.
Why You Should Try BitStarz
There are quite a few reasons to try BitStarz. To start with, if you’re a Bitcoin user this is a great casino to play at, besides accepting your Bitcoin they will also convert it to euros once deposited, allowing you to play even non-Bitcoin compatible games, and then convert it back again when you make a withdrawal. They also offer a welcome package tailored for Bitcoin users.
Apart from this, there’s a huge selection of games here including almost all the NetEnt slots and customer support is available 24/7 to answer any queries. Finally, the security and trustworthiness mechanisms here are top-notch.
