888Starz
Gambling allows people to get that thrill that is so lacking in the modern, relatively calm and safe world. Whereas in the past, gambling required partners to play with or at least a land-based gambling establishment, today none of that is necessary, as you can play online. At 888Starz, visitors have access to all the main types of gambling, including sports and e-sports betting, video slots, card games, and roulette (including with live dealers), as well as numerous niche entertainment options. In this article, we will take a closer look at the features of our establishment to explain why hundreds of thousands of customers around the world choose us.
Licensing and security
Any self-respecting company simply must have a valid licence to provide the relevant services — at the very least, to show potential customers that there is a regulator above us that can be contacted in case of disputes. The 888Starz administration has obtained two licences: one from the Curacao Gaming Commission and one from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (Canada). The fact that we have these licences demonstrates that the company is committed to following the rules and cares about its reputation.
At our establishment, you can count on strict compliance with the terms of the user agreement. Furthermore, 888Starz never transfers user data to third parties, and the traffic exchanged between the servers and user devices is encrypted.
Bonuses and promotions
The bonus programme is not the only one, but it is one of the most significant strengths of 888Starz. At any given time, we offer various categories of users a wide range of special offers, the terms and conditions of which are detailed on the website and in the app in the Bonuses section. We recommend that you refer to these terms and conditions, as they are subject to change from time to time. Here, we will only briefly review the options available at the time of writing.
Welcome bonuses
Welcome bonuses are a reward for new users for choosing us. 888Starz offers two options for such rewards, and each player can choose only one of them upon registration and must not change their choice later in order not to lose the right to a one-time bonus. The bonuses themselves look like this:
- sports – up to $100 for each of the first four deposits (up to $400 in total);
- Casino – up to $1,500 and 150 free spins for the first four deposits.
To receive such gifts, the player must make deposits within the specified time frame, one after another, and no less than the amount specified in the rules (may vary slightly for different currencies). After receiving each gift, it must be wagered (played through a multiple amount within a limited time) in accordance with the terms of the draw, otherwise it will be considered lost.
Reload bonuses
Regular deposit bonuses are in steady demand among gamblers because they can be used multiple times. The conditions for receiving them are also simple: make a deposit of a certain amount on a certain day of the week (you’ll have to top up your account for playing anyway) and receive your gift. Our establishment currently offers three options for such incentives:
- On Tuesdays – 50% (up to $100) on sports for a deposit of $5;
- Thursdays – 100% (up to $100) on sports for deposits of $3 or more;
On Sundays – 100% (up to $300) on slots at 888Starz Casino for deposits of $5 or more. Reload bonuses can be used literally every week, but they always have a relatively short wagering period. At the very least, you must manage to wager the bonus before you plan to receive the next gift.
Loyalty programs
For an establishment such as 888Starz, it is important not only to attract new users, but also to retain those who have already chosen us. To this end, we would like to emphasise once again that long-standing customers are very valuable to 888Starz. In practice, this takes the following form.
- At the casino, players start with a 5% refund on losses from the previous week, but this is only the first level. With each subsequent level, the user increases the cashback rate by one percentage point, with the possibility of reaching 11%, plus receives additional benefits immediately upon reaching a new level. To increase your level, simply play for real money.
- Sports cashback is calculated at a fixed rate of 3%. Compensation is paid for losing real money bets, but there are exceptions: for example, cashback will not be given for bets with odds lower than 1.5.
Receiving cashback is considered participation in a promotion, so you cannot simultaneously receive compensation for losses and participate in other 888Starz draws.
Other promotions
The selection of special offers at our establishment is always extensive, and some of them are also short-lived, so there is a risk that some of the bonuses will expire before you learn about them from this article. That is why we suggest focusing only on some of the 888Starz promotions, based on their relatively long duration.
Free bet in the app. Place 10 sports bets worth at least $1 each using the 888Starz mobile app for Android and receive a free bet equal to the average amount of these bets, up to a maximum of $5. This is a one-time offer; the bonus can only be claimed once.
Express of the day. Every day, the 888Starz administration offers users the opportunity to place bets on sports coupons compiled independently by the establishment - each of them includes 3-4 events and a bonus coefficient of 1.1, payable in the event of a win. Mandatory condition: the express conditions cannot be changed.
Bonus for a losing streak. If a player loses 20 bets in a row, this is such an injustice that the 888Starz administration undertakes to rectify it at our expense. Your compensation will range from $100 to $500, depending on the denomination of the bets in the series, but the bonus is not credited automatically: you must request it yourself.
Birthday gift. Top up your account on your birthday with at least $10 and receive either a free bet worth 10% of that amount or 20 free spins on the Mancala Quest slot. For obvious reasons, this gift is only available to players who have provided their date of birth. In addition, you must contact our customer support team yourself to claim your gift.
Express bonus. High risk deserves special rewards, which is why 888Starz offers a 5% bonus for express bets on 4 events and up to 50% for coupons with at least 14 events. The minimum odds for each event are lower the longer your coupon is.
Lucky ticket. In a nutshell: every Monday, the 888Starz administration randomly selects 500 players whose sports bets with a nominal value of $10 or more have won on that day and doubles their winnings. Only bets with odds of 1.5 or higher are eligible for the draw, and the promotional code must be redeemed within 48 hours.
New heights. Aviator fans will be delighted: for every $5 deposited on Monday, they will receive one free plane launch, and a total of up to 50 launches can be obtained per day. The promotion runs weekly - you can receive launches every Monday.
Game selection
888Starz Casino offers visitors a range of games that cannot be found even in the best land-based establishments in the world, let alone more modest provincial venues. Video slots, card games, roulette, live dealer entertainment, bingo, TV games, quick games, poker, hunting and fishing, as well as virtual sports betting. The total number of available titles is in the thousands, but the administration has no intention of stopping there — we will continue to add more entertainment so that you never get bored with us.
Functional filters will help you navigate the existing variety, allowing you to set the mechanics of the game and the presence of certain features in it. For example, a player who has always dreamed of hitting the jackpot can ask to be shown only those slots in which it is available; this still does not guarantee that the customer will win the grand prize, but they definitely have a chance.
Popular games
For new users who are just starting to explore the world of online casinos, our Popular filter will prove to be the most valuable. This category automatically includes games that our visitors have been most actively interested in recently. Not all games stay on this list for long, but there are no random games here — only those that have attracted the attention of a huge audience. At the time of writing, the list included such hits as:
- Demi Gods VI;
- Coin Odyssey;
- Tower of Luck;
- Fiery Sevens;
- Mayan Cache;
- and others.
The rating is updated regularly, so you can always find the latest news from the world of gambling here.
Providers
In order to offer visitors an adequate selection of gambling games, the administration of 888Starz cooperates with a huge number of providers, the number of which has already exceeded one hundred. Each provider is a separate company, a team of developers generating new ideas; it is thanks to the large number of such providers that the twenty or so slot mechanics are transformed into several thousand different games.
Although 888Starz strives to offer its customers the widest possible selection of games, we do have certain requirements for software providers. At a minimum, the provider must be certified in advance by independent professional organisations to prove that the algorithms they use are fair, unpredictable and do not allow interference with the operation of the programme. A reputable developer must also determine the winners directly on its own server (and not on the casino server, as many people think), which must be sufficiently secure so that it cannot be easily hacked.
Sports betting
Customers of our establishment can also place bets on sporting events. Bets can be placed on matches scheduled for the near future, as well as on events that are already underway, and the latter can often be watched via live video broadcast at no additional cost. By adding more than one event to your betting slip, you will place an accumulator bet: if all predictions come true, the odds will be multiplied, providing a particularly substantial win, but if you make a mistake in at least one prediction, you risk losing the entire accumulator.
Sports events for betting
Most sports betting fans would agree that the more lines there are, the better, because some people want to bet on their favourite local team in a modest tournament, while others want to have a good selection of live events available at any time. Our line is one of the best in the industry, as we are ready to accept bets on approximately 8,500 matches (the exact number fluctuates constantly and depends on both the day of the week and the stage of the season), and the number of disciplines on which bets are accepted totals around 55-60 sports.
In addition to the results of a specific match, customers can also bet on the overall results of tournaments: who will become the champion, the top scorer, or occupy a certain place in the tournament table. In addition, bets unrelated to sports are also accepted: you can try to predict various events related to show business, politics, or even weather forecasts for major airports around the world.
How to place a bet
If your gaming account balance is zero, the first thing you need to do is top up your account: click on your balance, select a payment system, specify the amount and confirm the transaction as instructed by the system. After that, the bet is placed as follows:
- Find an interesting event on the main page, in the Line and Live sections, or in the Express of the Day block;
- Open the match to see its full list of options – for some games, we offer up to 1,500 betting options.
- Select the odds you like – this will add them to your bet slip;
- Go to the Coupon itself and specify the bet amount;
- Confirm your bid.
All that remains is to wait: if the prediction proves correct, the winnings will be automatically credited to the customer’s account.
888Starz Account Registration
If you do not yet have an account with 888Starz and you are of legal age, now is the time to register as our customer. You can register either on the website or in our mobile apps, and the steps are as follows:
- Open any of the 888Starz interface options;
- Click on the Registration button;
- Select your welcome bonus type – sports or casino (each player is entitled to only one of them, and the choice cannot be changed);
- Select the type of questionnaire – by phone number, by email, in one click or via social networks and messengers (all options are equivalent);
- Fill in all fields of the registration form, providing only accurate information;
- Please read the company’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy (links to these are provided below the questionnaire);
- Complete the account creation process by clicking the Register button.
Now that you have an account, you can log in to it on all your devices, including the app for portable gadgets.
Payment methods and cryptocurrency support
There are dozens of payment methods available for making deposits and withdrawing winnings at 888Starz, but you won’t see them all: the system knows which currency your account is denominated in and will only display the most convenient methods. The only exceptions to this rule are exchangers and cryptocurrency wallets: transfers from them to fiat accounts are made immediately with automatic conversion at the current exchange rate, so they are shown to all users. By the way, you can initially open a gaming account in one of the popular cryptocurrencies, but be warned: this will mean that you will not participate in our bonus programme.
The terms and conditions for each transaction method are determined by 888Starz and the relevant payment operator. Limits usually start at $1 for deposits and $1-1.5 for withdrawals, while the “ceiling” may not be specified at all; at the same time, everything depends on the specific payment system, which may set other conditions. Deposits are usually credited instantly, but withdrawals can take up to 15 minutes, and in some cases up to 24 hours. There are no commissions for most transactions. In any case, the 888Starz administration details all the conditions so that the player knows what to expect.
Mobile version and ease of use
Our platform does not tie its customers to desktop PCs: instead, you can play anywhere and anytime, thanks to the fact that you can even do so on a smartphone or tablet. Looking ahead, full functionality is preserved everywhere — that is, you are not limited in any way, even when using a gadget that is theoretically simpler than a full-fledged computer.
Android app
At the time of writing, 888Starz only has a full-featured mobile app for Android – its apk installation file can be downloaded directly from our official website. For those who are unsure about the need for such a program, here are three of its main advantages:
- stores file libraries on the device, so it loads the interface faster;
- less traffic consumption thanks to the same cache storage in internal memory;
- Timely notifications allow you to find out about new draws and the results of previously placed bets in a timely manner.
The programme is compatible with all versions of Android OS starting from 8.0. This software does not have any significant system requirements for the gadget: it will work even if the device has only 1 GB of RAM (although in this case it is better to close all other applications in advance), and up to 1 GB of disk space must be allocated for the cache.
Mobile version of the website
The mobile version of the website is the same website, but opened in a mobile browser. It is a special version of the interface that is more convenient for a vertically oriented screen. In addition, our developers, understanding that there is not much space on the display, combined many small sections of the desktop interface into a few larger ones, and reduced the size of colourful pictures and icons, because textual information is more valuable to the player.
To use the mobile version of the 888Starz website, open any browser on a device with any operating system. No special transition to the mobile version of the interface is required: the system will automatically recognise the type of device and display a simplified version of the page.
Customer support
The 888Starz support team is always available to assist customers whenever necessary. There are three main ways to contact us:
- via chat, available on the website and in mobile applications;
- via the feedback form (Contacts section);
- by email at support-en@888starz.bet.
In the first case, operators will respond directly in the chat within a few minutes, in the other two cases – to your email, and you will have to wait up to several hours for a response. In any case, you can count on the politeness and competence of our consultants, as well as their willingness to do everything possible to solve your problem.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to undergo verification at 888Starz?
Verification is a mandatory requirement for all 888Starz users. It allows us to ensure that players are of legal age and do not abuse the company's one-time bonuses. A verification request may be sent to the customer at any time, and the customer must comply with the requirement to provide documents within the specified time frame, otherwise they will not be able to withdraw their winnings. The information in the documents must match the personal data previously provided by the user.
Can I open a cryptocurrency account on 888Starz?
When deciding on the currency for their gaming account, new players can choose from 13 of the most popular cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether. Even if your 888Starz account is denominated in one of the fiat currencies, this will not prevent you from making payments using a cryptocurrency wallet, and the amount sent will be converted into the required currency "on the fly".
What is the minimum deposit and withdrawal amount at 888Starz?
If we focus on the minimum values, then you can both deposit and withdraw amounts starting from 1 dollar. However, each payment system sets its own minimum limits, and the most favourable limits may not be available in your country or for your currency. In addition, the actual limits may vary depending on the currency: what is indicated as $1 in US currency may differ significantly from the actual minimum in another currency at the current exchange rate.
Can I use 888Starz for free?
Although limited, it is possible to use 888Starz. In the betting section, our website or app can replace sports television, as our platform broadcasts around a thousand events every day. In the casino section, you have a unique opportunity to try out all the slots for free: there is a demo mode where you don't place bets, but you don't win money either.
How to recover your 888Starz account password?
On the website or in the 888Starz app, click the Login button, then Forgot Password. After that, the customer must enter either the phone number or email address associated with your account, and instructions on what to do next will be sent there.
Can I request a break from 888Starz administration?
Our establishment understands players who are looking for help in combating gambling addiction - that is why we are ready to offer our customers a mandatory break for a period of 1 day to 6 weeks, and in special cases, you can even count on self-exclusion for a period of 6 months. During this time, your account will be unavailable for any active actions, and you will be able to re-evaluate your priorities and start a new life — or return to the game after the break, but with a clear head.
