BitStarz Casino Review (2023) – Features, Facts and 100 Free Spins no deposit

BitStarz has been around since 2014, and in that time, it’s gone on to win some of the industry’s biggest awards, including the Best Online Casino 2017, Players Choice Casino 2018 at the prestigious AskGamblers awards and Best Customer Service Award 2020  CasinoMeister.

1. BitStarz review

When I refer to BitStarz as pioneers, it’s because they continually develop cool features, implement great tools, and optimize their website so that they can deliver the best player experience possible.

As someone who tests casinos daily, I noticed that other casinos have been inspired by BitStarz – from design to signup features and more. I’d consider this peer recognition as a sign that they’re doing something right.

By now you probably know that I have a great relationship with this casino, especially with Affiliate Manager, Srdjan. So, you might think that I’m biased in my assessment of BitStarz. But hear me out; I’ll be backing up my opinions with facts and then you can be the judge.

I mentioned that they are innovators of this industry so let’s do a comparison with other great casinos:

Fast payouts

In the image below, you’ll see that at the time of taking this screenshot, the average cash-out was 6 minutes and 31 seconds. This can of course change depending on the volume of cashouts (both fiat and crypto). With more than 3.6 million players on their books, I’d say that this is an incredible result.

mBit casino also has a great cash-out time of 6 minutes and 52 seconds, but they are crypto only and have just over 2 million players that they’re handling.  7bit casino has an average cash-out time of 10 minutes. Stake has instant payouts, but they’re also crypto only and don’t offer bonuses (which changes things quite a lot). The casinos I’ve listed here are the top contenders in terms of cash-out times; many others have far longer waiting times.

Feeling Lucky feature

This is not something super unique. We’ve seen this in some other places where a player spins the wheel and gets a random slot that he can play – Spinpug is an example of this.

There are a few other innovative casinos out there, but I wouldn’t call any of them direct competitors.

Games

In terms of games, BitStarz only offers slots. Others, such as Betfury, which is a leading social Bitcoin casino, offer sports, staking, farming, and boxes promos. They also have a ranking system, which is interesting.

Then there’s Rolletto. Other than slots, they now offer e-sports and sports, as well as mini-games such as Hilo, Dino, dice, chicken, keno ,and plinko.

So, in the interest of balancing the scales and being objective, I need to raise the following point.

I noticed a trend in the crypto casino industry of casinos issuing their own tokens (Betfury does this), adding more crypto payments, and including lotteries in their portfolio itoappeal to a greater number of players.

BitStarz hasn’t done any of these things so I wonder, what direction will they take? Only time will tell.

I was curious to see what the internet says when googling the name and as we can see the Best Bitcoin Casino 2021 is BitStarz followed by 7Bit and mBit.

2. Bonuses

BitStarz offers a very good collection of different bonuses. Bonus are also available in other cryptocurrencies, just change the currency from the player account.

1. No deposit bonus: 100 Free spins
2. First deposit: 152% up to 3 BTC, 150 LTC, 15 BCH, 15 ETH, 225,000 DOG, 300 USDT + 180 Free spins
3. Second deposit: 50% up to €100 or 1 BTC, 2 ETH, 50 LTC, 20 BCH, 150000 DOGE
4. Third deposit: 50% up to €200 or 2 BTC, 4 ETH, 100 LTC, 40 BCH, 300000 DOGE
5. Fourth deposit: 100% up to €100 or 1 BTC, 2 ETH, 50 LTC, 20 BCH, 150000 DOGE

Wagering requirement for the deposit bonus is 40x the bonus.

The 152% first deposit bonus means if you deposit for example 100 mBTC, you get an additional 152 mBTC of bonus money to play. So your total account balance is 252 mBTC including the bonus money.

Wagering example: In the previous example you have to wager the bonus money (152 mBTC) 40 times. So your wagering requirement playing for example slot games is 40 x 152 mBTC = 6080 mBTC before you can withdraw any possible winnings.

I just noticed that there was a big win recently at Mastering Midnight Tokyo, where one player showed that he is a true slots rock star by winning a huge $411,608. Congrats!

3. Available games

As I already have an account, upon logging in I noticed something I haven’t seen before – I was asked which games I like to play.

You can either skip the survey or opt-in. I decided to take part and said slots, jackpots ,and craps/dice.

In addition to which types of games I like, there were two additional questions:

1. What games, by name, do you like playing?
2. How much do you bet per round on average?

I skipped the second question by clicking ‘I don’t know’ as I didn’t feel like going through all the games I like, nor searching for the ones I play.

Survey completed at BitStarz

I submitted my answers and now have a lobby tailored to my personal preferences. I’m looking forward to seeing if they got it right!

Games recommended for me after finishing the survey on BitStarz

With more than 3,600 games available it can be hard to choose, or test, something new if you already like to play specific types of games.

Coming back to the personalized lobby, I wonder if it works even if you don’t take the survey? Do they just analyze your real-time game preferences and make suggestions based on your history?

Let’s test some games from my new lobby and see how they did.

Rocket Dice by Bgaming

Rocket Dice game at BitStarz Casino

So I got Rocket Dice as an option as I did say in the survey that I play dice.

This is really a fun game to play if you like dice games. Basically, all you need to do is predict if the dice roll will go over or under a certain number.

This game was released in 2018 and has an RTP of 99%.

Out of 8 rounds, I only lost two for a bet over 6 and a 1.68x multiplier.

Platinum Lightning Deluxe by BGaming

Provably Fair Game -Platinum Lighting Deluxe by BGaming

This was another game suggested by BitStarz so of course, I tried it.

I really do like games that are about mythology or have an Egyptian theme so this was right up my alley.

With an RTP of 96,29% and 25 paylines, the maximum expected win is 8,888x and it has a medium-high volatility.

I did like the game but after 30 rounds of not getting the bonus or the wild feature, I stopped playing. I know, 30 rounds are not enough to get lucky but oh well, let’s see what else they have in store for me.

Platinum Lightning Deluxe win

Poke The Guy by Microgaming

Poke The Guy by Microgaming at BitStarz

Ha! Oh my, this looks so funny. I would never have picked this game to try out.

It doesn’t look like a slot game, and you’d never guess that Microgaming developed it! Are they getting too comfortable at designing their games? Or do they let their partner studios do the job without a glance at the results?

Either way, the design resembles a child’s book from the 90s, kinda like ‘find a hidden thing in the picture’ style.

The object of the game is to hit the guy with different things. You can select between a fish, knife, ice-cream-type item, duck, or a tree. The bet size ranges between €0,05 to €30.

If the item you throw at him hits his face, you’re awarded cash prizes of 2x, 4x, 8x, or 500x. Be careful when playing this game though, because before you even know if you like it or not, your balance will plummet.

In my opinion, it was fun at first but very soon it became silly and I lost more money than I intended.

Poke The Guy wins at BitStarz, is this an ice cream?

Sic Bo Macau

One last game I wanted to try from my personalized lobby was Sic Bo Macau.

Sic Bo Macau – a variation on the original game – is a table game played with three dies.

The objective of the game is to wager on the outcome of these dies. Different chips are used to set the bet value, or the default bet value can be used. Choose the size of the chip, place the chip on the area of the table corresponding to the desired bet.

Click the ‘Roll’ button and wait for the outcome. Multiple bets for different amounts can be made on the same roll of the dice. If the bet exceeds the maximum payout allowed, the player will receive an on-screen message about the betting limit. All winning combinations light up after the dice roll and re-betting is allowed.

Let me give you some pointers on how to increase your chances of winning, or losing less, at this game:

• I know it is hard but try not to place a bet on too many areas
• If you chose to not listen to my first advice, then try to place most bets on big or small area

Did you know that sic bo is also known as tai sai, which means “precious dice” in Chinese?

Overall, I did pretty well at Sic Bo Macau. I didn’t win or lose, and after 30 minutes of playing, my balance remained more or less the same.

So, did they get it right? 

After testing a few games from my lobby, as suggested by BitStarz, I’m happy to inform you that they got it right 99% of the time. This new prediction tool feature gets a big thumb’s up from me.

Now, I’m going to try one Exclusive Game that BitStarz offers.

Candy Boom Exclusive – Booongo

Candy Boom by Booongo at BitStarz

This game was released on 3 November 2021. I wanted to get more info about it directly from the provider (Booongo), but they don’t have it listed on their website under their Games section yet. (And the website doesn’t even have a search function.)

The only info I found on this game at BitStarz is that it has a win of up to 7,0000x and that you get free spins with the multiplier bonus.

It’s a bubbly and fun game, albeit not my style. Have you tried it? Do you like it?

One thing I don’t really like is that once you are playing a game and you try to press the back button if you tested that specific game in demo and real money play, it will go back to the previous thing you did on the game and not to the lobby. So if I switch into a game four or five times, I will have to click back four or five times to get to the lobby.

Okay, so now we know that at BitStarz you can find slots, tables games, jackpots, live casino, and Bitcoin games. The latest addition to the menu is the ‘Feeling Lucky’ tab.

I do feel lucky today, so I’m clicking to find out more about it.

Feeling Lucky feature at BitStarz

If you’re looking for a way to grow your game experience, then this one is for you. The ‘Feeling Lucky’ mechanism is different from the personalized lobby as those are tailored to your taste and preferences, while this is totally random.

The game recommended to me was Mega Moolah, I can choose to play it or I can just find another game.

4. Navigation and design

There are many cool features I like at BitStarz, some of them being:

Easy Registration Process

Select your preferred payment method, opt-in or out of the bonus and deposit.

Deposit Bar on the Lower Part of the Screen

There’s a deposit bar on the lower part of the screen at all times, although you can choose to close it. This is where you can enter the amount of money you want to deposit.

It remembers the last payment method used. In my case I used my credit card and all I have to do then is enter the CVV number.

5. Customer service and support

A well-trained representative is the face of any company and the first person a player will interact with at any casino. That’s why every person in the BitStarz Customer Support team has a minimum of 3 years’ experience. To contact them you can use live chat or email.

6. Deposits, withdrawals and security

BitStarz has a pretty cool feature where you can deposit in Bitcoin and exchange it into any fiat currency, allowing you to unlock the full range of games. Once you’re done, you can then cash out back to your Bitcoin wallet.

Withdrawal terms

• In order to make a withdrawal with traditional currencies (USD, EUR, AUD, CAD, NZD, JPY, NOK, RUB, PLN and BRL), the player must play through active deposited amounts at least once prior to withdrawal (1x wagering).
• Players depositing from a BTC, USDT, BCH, ETH, LTC or DOGE Wallet (including BTC converted to EUR) need to play through active deposited funds at least 3 times prior to withdrawing (3x wagering).
• When playing table games, 10x needs to be wagered, regardless of currency.

Bonus wagering requirements

• All bonuses need to be wagered 40x before the funds can be withdrawn. So if you received a 10 mBTC bonus, you have to make bets 40 x 10 mBTC = 400 mBTC before you can withdraw your winnings.
• Different games contribute to a different percentage towards the wagering requirements. Slots contribute 100% while all table games and video poker contribute 5%.
• Live games do not contribute to wagering.

Bonus terms and conditions

Please check the full terms & conditions from the BitStarz website. Here are the most important ones.

• First 100 is credited 23 hours after first deposit and then 20 more 24 hours later.

7. Conclusion

BitStarz is a fiat and crypto casino that offers some 3,600 games covering a host of genres. I like the design, the easy registration, and the fast withdrawal time.

They regularly implement new features such as the customized lobby/game suggester and the Feeling Lucky tool. For players who enjoy “regular” types of games and are looking for an amazing experience and great bonuses, promotions and customer support, BitStarz should be your first choice.

If you like special games such as plinko, or if you want to bet on sports or eSports, then there are many other crypto casinos out there that will be better suited.

I do hope that BitStarz adds more niche games, and possibly even a lottery, to their site one day.
