02Licence and domain coverage	Documented Clause 1.2 of the terms cites licence OGL/2024/165/0185 for Gareton B.V. The clause names the regulator as the Curaçao Gaming Authority. A Luxembourg-facing homepage disclaimer cites the same licence number under a different name, the Curaçao Gaming Control Board. RTP Ledger found no regulator certificate page for licence OGL/2024/165/0185. The Curaçao Gaming Control Board's bulk licence registry PDF is dated 2026-09-10. The registry PDF lists licence OGL/2024/165/0185 for Gareton B.V., company number 160656, with the status Indefinite. Checked Sep 13, 2026BitStarz terms and conditions ↗BitStarz homepage ↗Curaçao Gaming Control Board online gaming licence registry (bulk PDF, snapshot 2026-09-10) ↗	Partial evidence The footer and section 1 of the AML policy state licence ALSI-202411063-FI2 from the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros. The public licence register at anjouangaming.com lists the same number for Mirai Kaze Ltd and goated.com. The register shows status valid, type B2C, issue date 2024-11-04 and expiry date 2027-11-03. The footer has no seal link to a validation page. Coverage gaps: licence status. Checked Oct 24, 2026Anjouan Gaming public licence register (anjouangaming.com) ↗Goated terms of service ↗Goated AML policy ↗
03Country restrictions	Documented Clause 3.6 of the terms names 66 barred countries, from United States of America to Curacao. An earlier internal record put the count at 73. RTP Ledger did not resolve the difference. Checked Sep 12, 2026BitStarz terms and conditions ↗	Partial evidence Terms clause 7.3 bars any jurisdiction where the service is restricted by law, needs a licence that Goated does not hold, or is under sanctions. Clause 7.4 treats VPN or proxy use to hide a location as a breach. The terms name no country. The AML policy states that Goated geo-blocks sanctioned jurisdictions by IP address. It names Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Syria and the Crimean region of Ukraine. No checked page gives a complete list of restricted markets. Coverage gaps: restricted-country list.

04Account journey and closure	Not checked Registration, verification stages, account currency and closure journey are not checked. No dated source	Partial evidence Terms clause 2.1 makes use of the website an acceptance of the terms. Clause 3.1 requires the mandatory registration data and any KYC that Goated asks for. Clause 3.2 bars players under 18. Clause 3.4 limits accounts to one per person, household, IP address, device or wallet. The self-exclusion help article states that full account deletion is not possible because of legal and compliance duties. It offers self-exclusion as the alternative, and a permanent exclusion makes the account unrecoverable. Terms clause 3.7 lets Goated close an account with no login, bet, deposit or withdrawal for 12 months. Clause 4.10 sends fund recovery from a closed account to in-platform chat. Coverage gaps: observed verification journey. Checked Oct 24, 2026Goated terms of service ↗Goated help centre: Responsible Gaming, Self Exclusion & Account Closure ↗

The page does not name a network for the other eleven assets.

USDC runs on Ethereum, Solana and BNB Smart Chain. USDT runs on Ethereum, Solana, Tron and BNB Smart Chain. BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, TRX, LTC and BNB run on their own chains, and XRP needs a destination tag. A player can buy crypto by card or bank transfer through the Onramper partner.

06Deposit terms	Documented Each of the twelve crypto assets has its own minimum deposit and a 0% fee. The page shows Instant processing for every asset. An embedded currency configuration lists required confirmations per asset, from 1 to 25. The Instant label does not reflect a 25-confirmation wait for Binance Coin. Checked Sep 12, 2026BitStarz Payments and Available Currencies page ↗	Documented The deposits article states that each account gets a permanent deposit address for each network. An address works only on the network it was issued for. The balance updates when the network confirms the transfer. Deposits worth less than $0.01 are not recorded. A deposit to an account under review is held until support releases or refunds it. Terms clause 4.5 states that payment methods can carry extra fees.

07Withdrawal terms	Partial evidence The Payments page gives the same fee, speed and limits for twelve crypto assets. Clause 8.7.1 targets payout within 1 hour, but clause 8.7.8 also cites a 10-minute average. BitStarz and its payment processor charge no withdrawal fee under clause 8.7.10. Bank transfer payouts move in EUR within 3 to 10 banking days under clause 8.7.7. RTP Ledger has not withdrawn funds from a BitStarz test account.

08Bonus terms	Partial evidence The Welcome Package spans the first four deposits and was live today. Page metadata names the package 5 BTC plus 200 free spins. The numbered bonus terms instead describe 180 free spins paid over 8 days. RTP Ledger did not resolve the difference between the two spin counts. The terms set a 40 times wagering requirement and a 7 day expiry. Coverage gaps: bonus eligibility and expiry. Checked Sep 12, 2026BitStarz Bonus Terms and Conditions ↗	Partial evidence The first deposit bonus article offers a 100% match up to $1,000 on the first deposit, from a $20 minimum. Rollover is 35 times the deposit plus the bonus. Each bet counts as the wager times the game edge divided by 0.04, and sportsbook wagers do not count. The maximum bet is $10. Withdrawals, vaulting and tips stop in every currency until the bonus ends. The bonus ends when rollover completes or the balance falls below one cent. The article states no time limit for rollover. Coverage gaps: bonus eligibility and expiry. Checked Oct 24, 2026Goated help centre: 100% First Deposit Bonus up to $1,000 USD ↗
09KYC and source-of-funds process	Partial evidence The terms require a government ID, a proof of payment and a proof of address. Clause 7.2.3 caps the proof of address at 90 days old. Clause 8.7.8 lets BitStarz require game-provider checks for a significant win, at its own discretion. No fixed withdrawal threshold is published. RTP Ledger has not run a test account on BitStarz. The verification trigger stage in practice stays unconfirmed. Coverage gaps: observed KYC trigger and stage. Checked Sep 12, 2026BitStarz terms and conditions ↗	Partial evidence Terms clause 5.1 lets Goated ask for KYC documents at any time and restrict withdrawals until it completes verification. The withdrawal article requires Account Verification Level 1 before a withdrawal. The AML policy can suspend withdrawals at a threshold set by the account risk profile. Enhanced due diligence can ask for full name, date of birth, citizenship, address, ID documents and source of funds. No checked page states the threshold amount or describes the verification levels. RTP Ledger has not run a test account on goated.com. The stage where verification is requested in practice is not established. Coverage gaps: observed KYC trigger and stage.

10Responsible-gambling controls	Documented BitStarz publishes a Wager Limit and a Loss Limit, both set daily, weekly or monthly. A Deposit Limit tool also exists for fiat currencies. The page states that crypto deposit limits cannot be enforced. A Cooling-Off period runs from 1 day to 6 months, with a 24-hour cancellation delay. A Self-Exclusion period runs from 1 day to several years and locks the account at once. The Play Safe page also offers self-exclusion by contacting support directly. The page links GamCare and GordonHouse directly. A third link, labeled Gam-Anon, points to a Gamblers Anonymous domain rather than the Gam-Anon domain. Checked Sep 12, 2026BitStarz Play Safe page ↗	Partial evidence The responsible gaming page and the help article offer a 24-hour self-exclusion from account settings. Through support, a player can ask for 7, 15, 30 or 90 days or a permanent exclusion. Rewards can be claimed only in the first 24 hours of an exclusion. A permanent exclusion makes the account unrecoverable. The responsible gaming page and the self-exclusion article describe exclusion and timeouts only. Neither page describes a deposit, loss or wager limit tool. RTP Ledger records limit tools as unknown until a page or an account test shows them. Coverage gaps: loss and wager limit tools.

How the casino comparison works

On 2026-10-24, Bitstarz has 12 areas with source support. Goated has 16. These totals measure current RTP Ledger research coverage. They do not measure casino safety or service quality.

A source link supports only the scope stated in its cell. Published rules are not an RTP Ledger account test. An area without a dated source remains unresearched.

Current cashout test status, taken from each review:

Bitstarz: partial evidence; 0 dated sources; no dated check.
Goated: partial evidence; 0 dated sources; no dated check.

The comparison does not infer a completed account test from operator terms or from another review area.
