BitStarz and 1xBet 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: BitStarz vs 1xBet
BitStarz is the safer pick on paper, with a CasinoGuru Safety Index of 9.8/10 against 7.4/10 for 1xBet. That is a large gap, and it usually reflects how the casino handles complaints and how fair its terms are.
BitStarz is licensed by Curaçao Gaming Authority, while 1xBet holds a license from Curaçao Gaming Authority. Both are offshore-style licenses, so the casino's own track record matters more than the license itself.
CasinoGuru lists 5 player complaints against BitStarz and 50 against 1xBet; bigger casinos naturally collect more, so read the number together with the Safety Index.
Both casinos' terms are rated fair.
Bonuses and wagering
BitStarz offers new players up to 5 BTC + 230 Free Spins. 1xBet offers up to 1950 EUR + 150 Free Spins.
The headline numbers matter less than wagering: 1xBet asks for 35x against 40x at BitStarz. On a €100 bonus that is €3500 versus €4000 in bets before you can withdraw.
Payments and payout speed
BitStarz lists 37 deposit methods (11 of them crypto) and 1xBet lists 34 (15 crypto). 23 methods work at both. They include MasterCard, Visa, Neteller and Skrill.
Only BitStarz takes Bank Wire Transfer, CoinsPaid, iDebit and instaDebit. Only 1xBet takes Perfect Money, SticPay, Dash and Monero. If you already use one of these, that alone may decide it.
BitStarz pays crypto and e-wallet withdrawals faster (0-1 hours) than 1xBet (0-24 hours). Card and bank withdrawals take longer at both.
Withdrawal methods and limits
BitStarz lists 27 withdrawal methods and 22 currencies. Its stated withdrawal limit is No Limits.
1xBet lists 33 withdrawal methods and 37 currencies. Its stated withdrawal limit is No Limits.
Games and customer support
BitStarz carries games from 79 providers and 1xBet from 16. BitStarz has the noticeably bigger library.
BitStarz offers 24/7 live chat; we could not confirm round-the-clock chat at 1xBet.
Ownership and track record
BitStarz is run by Gareton B.V. and has been operating since 2014. 1xBet is run by Caecus N.V. and has been operating since 2007. 1xBet has the longer track record, which usually means more complaints handled and more published payout history to judge by.
Responsible gambling tools
BitStarz offers 6 of the 10 responsible gambling tools we check (deposit limit, wager limit, loss limit, time limit, self-exclusion, cool-off). 1xBet offers 2 of the 10 responsible gambling tools we check (self-exclusion, self-assessment test).
Deposit limits and self-exclusion are the two tools worth having before you play anywhere.
What players say
On Trustpilot BitStarz scores 4.3/5 (5,446 reviews) and 1xBet 2/5 (8,600 reviews). Casino reviews skew negative because unhappy players post more, so this counts for only 15% of our CasiScore rating.
BitStarz or 1xBet: which should you choose?
Overall, BitStarz is the stronger casino on our data (4.8/5 against 2.9/5). Choose BitStarz if you want the higher overall rating, a higher safety score and better player reviews. Choose 1xBet if you want lower bonus wagering and more crypto options. Whichever you pick, set a deposit limit before you play.
Before you sign up at either casino
- Check that BitStarz and 1xBet accept players from your country before you register.
- Read the wagering and maximum bet rules of the bonus you plan to claim.
- Make sure your preferred withdrawal method is available, not just the deposit method.
- Have your ID documents ready; both casinos can ask for verification before the first withdrawal.
- Set a deposit limit in your account settings before you start playing.
