888Starz - Banking, Bonuses & Software

Review

Introduction

Not just a casino but an “iGaming Mining Platform”, as it’s described by its operator, Bittech B.V., 888Starz first opened its online doors in 2020. It’s a modern casino licensed in Curacao and boasts a range of banking options that include many types of cryptocurrency.

Most importantly, there are thousands of games, many of them slots. The live casino is pretty well stocked, too. A deposit match and free spins are available for new players. As for the iGame Mining, this blockchain casino offers you 888 tokens every time you play.

Software

Any casino with thousands of games is going to need more than one software provider to keep them supplied. We couldn’t possibly list every one here, but rest assured that most of the usual suspects are on hand. You may also have the opportunity to try a provider you haven’t encountered before.

We’ve picked out some of the most interesting names:

• BetSoft
• ELK Studios
• Fugaso
• Mascot Gaming
• Playson
• Pragmatic Play
• Quickspin
• Thunderkick
• Yggdrasil

Slots

There seems to be some disagreement about whether the total number of games at 888Starz is closer to 3500 or 4000, but there’s no doubt there are a lot, and new titles are constantly being added to the ranks.

This means that whatever your preferred theme or type of feature is, you should be able to find something for you. Here are just a few examples:

• 6 Fruits
• Big Wild Buffalo
• Book of Tattoo
• Cash Pig
• Fugaso Airlines
• Green Chilli 2
• Guardians of Ice and Fire
• Pick a Pot of Gold
• Rise of Egypt

Try the different tabs to help you search and find the categories of slots that best suit you. Jackpots? Megaways? The choice is yours.

Mobile Product & App

If you want to play 888Starz on mobile, you’ll need to do so through your browser. No dedicated mobile apps are currently available, whether on iOS, Android or other devices, although that could always change in future.

The mobile browser runs relatively smoothly, is easy to navigate, and allows you access to the vast majority of 888Starz games.

Live Casino

Live casinos are a common sight in the online world; an attempt to recreate some of those real-time thrills you experience in land-based establishments. They’re particularly popular with players of blackjack, roulette, baccarat and other card and table games.

In the 888Starz live casino, these favorites are joined by game shows, Indian-style games and more. Evolution is the biggest name among the providers, but Vivo, Swintt Live and Ezugi also add their distinctive touches.

Banking

When an establishment describes itself as a “blockchain casino”, you know it’s going to be open to banking through cryptocurrency, but if that particularly modern form of finance isn’t your thing, you can still rely on bank transfers, cards and e-wallets.

Remember, not all methods are available in all jurisdictions, and processing times, plus minimum and maximum limits for deposits and withdrawals, may vary.

• Visa
• MasterCard
• Bank Transfer
• AstroPay
• Neteller
• Skrill
• Paysafecard
• Ecopayz
• Flexepin
• Bitcoin
• Litecoin
• Dogecoin
• Ethereum
• Tether
• ...and more

Withdrawal Times

Withdrawal times can always be influenced by a range of factors, some involving the casino, some on you, and some because of your banking provider. The guidelines assume that your account is properly verified, that you’ve met the wagering and other requirements, and you’re within the minimum and maximum thresholds.

Bank transfers and credit or debit cards may take a few days to process. E-wallets and cryptocurrencies can be almost instantaneous, but again, it depends on various factors and not all of them are within your control. A 72-hour pending window initially applies to all banking methods.

Support

You can choose your preferred method if you want to contact customer support directly should you be unable to find what you need in the fairly comprehensive FAQ.

That includes phoning +357 97630833, e-mailing [email protected], or using the live chat function found in the bottom corner of the website. Someone should be available 24/7 to answer your queries.

Responsible Gambling

Gambling can be fun, but the fun soon stops if you chase losses, fail to budget appropriately and lose control of your betting. Luckily, there are steps you can take to try to minimise these risks.

Take a look at 888Starz’s responsible gambling page for advice and useful links, then contact customer support if you want to know more about concrete measures, such as limits, timeouts or self-exclusion, to help you be more responsible.

Security

SSL encryption is one of the first things you look for if you want to know a casino is secure, and it’s one of the measures you’ll find in 888Starz. The casino doesn’t reveal all the details of its security measures, but there’s enough to know that they take the protection of your money and data seriously.

Fairness and Legitimacy

Casino licensing is the best way to ensure a casino is legitimate. Curacao may not have quite the same reputation as some of the European regulators, but it’s still a recognised and respected authority when it comes to overseeing gambling sites to ensure they play fair and that players are protected.

Slots and other games have their outcomes decided by a random number generator; there’s no way they can be influenced from the outside. You know you have a fair chance, even if wins are never guaranteed.

Welcome Bonus

There are layers to the 888Starz welcome bonus, some of which are distinct to either the casino or the sportsbook. For casino players, there’s a match bonus and a free spins bonus, both spread across your first three deposits:

1. 1st deposit = 100% up to 300 + 30 free spins.
2. 2nd deposit = 50% up to 350 + 35 free spins.
3. 3rd deposit = 25% up to 400 + 40 free spins.

Deposits must be a minimum of 10 the first time and 15 for subsequent claims. All claims must be made within 7 days. Wagering requirements are x35. Free spins must be used on designated slots only.

No Deposit Bonus

Available bonuses often change at most casinos. We couldn’t find anything about a no deposit bonus when we looked, but it’s always best to check the current bonuses page.

Free Spins Bonus

Free spins are part of the welcome bonus at 888Starz, which suggests that other opportunities to score free spins may emerge as you use the site. Check the bonuses page for any current offers.

Bonus Codes, Vouchers, and Promo Codes

Keep a look out for bonus codes to enhance your 888Starz experience. Some promotions, like cashback, run more constantly.

The loyalty scheme in 888Starz is unique and based on a system of what are known as “888 tokens.” It’s all part of establishing its reputation as “the blockchain casino.” All of the platform’s earnings are returned to the players.
