BitStarz and 22Bet 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 22Bet
BitStarz is the safer pick on paper, with a CasinoGuru Safety Index of 9.8/10 against 6.3/10 for 22Bet. 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 22Bet holds a license from Estonian Tax and Customs Board. European licenses come with stricter player-protection rules than offshore ones.
CasinoGuru lists 5 player complaints against BitStarz and 5 against 22Bet; bigger casinos naturally collect more, so read the number together with the Safety Index.
BitStarz has terms rated fair, while 22Bet's are rated unfair.
Bonuses and wagering
BitStarz offers new players up to 5 BTC + 230 Free Spins. 22Bet offers welcome package up to 1500 EUR + 150 Free Spins.
The headline numbers matter less than wagering: 22Bet 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 22Bet lists 44 (15 crypto). 24 methods work at both. They include MasterCard, Visa, Bank Wire Transfer and Neteller.
Only BitStarz takes CoinsPaid, iDebit, instaDebit and Interac. Only 22Bet takes Postepay, Nordea, Boleto and QIWI. If you already use one of these, that alone may decide it.
Crypto and e-wallet withdrawals take 0-1 hours at both casinos once approved.
Withdrawal methods and limits
BitStarz lists 27 withdrawal methods and 22 currencies. Its stated withdrawal limit is No Limits.
22Bet lists 36 withdrawal methods and 118 currencies. It does not publish a withdrawal limit.
Games and customer support
BitStarz carries games from 79 providers and 22Bet from 72. In practice both have more slots than most players will ever try.
Both offer live chat around the clock.
Ownership and track record
BitStarz is run by Gareton B.V. and has been operating since 2014. 22Bet is run by Moon Technologies OÜ and has been operating since 2025. BitStarz 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). 22Bet offers 4 of the 10 responsible gambling tools we check (deposit limit, self-exclusion, cool-off, self-assessment test).

What players say
On Trustpilot BitStarz scores 4.3/5 (5,446 reviews) and 22Bet 3/5 (2,543 reviews). Casino reviews skew negative because unhappy players post more, so this counts for only 15% of our CasiScore rating.
