Most iGaming guides are vague. This one is not — every step here is specific, actionable, and based on how the platform actually works.
Before You Start
- Ensure you are at least 18 years old (or the legal age in your jurisdiction).
- Have a valid email address and phone number for verification.
- Prepare a government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license) for KYC checks.
- Choose a payment method you are comfortable with — options include Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, and cryptocurrencies.
- Understand that Bitstarz is a Curacao-licensed casino; winnings may be subject to local income tax in your country — consult a tax advisor.
- Access the Bitstarz app as a progressive web app (PWA) from your browser — no download from app stores required.
Registration
- Visit https://bitstarz.mex.com/ and click the “Sign Up” button.
- Fill in your email, create a username and a strong password (mix of letters, numbers, and symbols).
- Select your preferred currency (EUR, USD, BTC, etc.) and agree to the terms.
- Verify your email by clicking the link sent to your inbox.
- Complete your profile: provide full name, date of birth, and address.
- Optionally enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security.
Wagering Calculation
Let’s walk through a realistic bonus scenario. Suppose you deposit $100 and claim a 100% welcome bonus up to $100. You receive a $100 bonus, giving you $200 total to play with. The wagering requirement is 40x the bonus amount (not the deposit + bonus).
Important: Wagering requirement = $100 × 40 = $4,000. You must wager $4,000 before withdrawing any winnings from the bonus.
If you play a slot with an RTP of 96%, the expected loss per $1 wagered is $0.04. Over $4,000 wagered, expected loss = $4,000 × 0.04 = $160. Since you started with $200, your expected remaining balance after meeting wagering is $200 – $160 = $40. However, variance means actual results vary.
To calculate your required turnover mathematically: Let B = bonus amount, W = wagering multiplier. Required turnover T = B × W. In our case, T = $100 × 40 = $4,000. If your average bet is $2, you need 2,000 spins/bets to complete wagering.
Tip: Games with lower RTP (e.g., 94%) increase expected loss, while high RTP (98%) reduces it. Always check game contribution: slots usually count 100%, table games may count less (e.g., 10%).

If your withdrawal is delayed beyond the standard processing time:
- Wait 24 hours for e-wallets, 48 hours for cards, and 3 business days for bank transfers before taking action.
- Check your email for any KYC requests — submit documents (ID, proof of address) promptly.
- Log into the Bitstarz casino account and check the withdrawal status under “Transaction History.”
- If status is “Pending” for more than the expected timeframe, contact live chat (available 24/7). Quote your withdrawal ID and transaction hash (for crypto).

- As a last resort, escalate to the Curacao Gaming Authority via their complaint portal. However, most issues are resolved within 1–2 business days.
