1xBet and 888Starz are often shortlisted together. Below we compare them on what decides whether a casino is worth your deposit: safety, bonus terms, payments, games and what players report.
Safety and licensing: 1xBet vs 888Starz
1xBet is the safer pick on paper, with a CasinoGuru Safety Index of 7.4/10 against 3/10 for 888Starz. That is a large gap, and it usually reflects how the casino handles complaints and how fair its terms are.
1xBet is licensed by Cura莽ao Gaming Authority, while 888Starz holds a license from Cura莽ao Gaming Authority, Kahnawake Gaming Commission and Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority. Both are offshore-style licenses, so the casino's own track record matters more than the license itself.
