A separate homepage disclaimer for Luxembourg names a second company, Firmero Limited, for payments only. Checked Sep 12, 2026BitStarz terms and conditions ↗BitStarz homepage ↗	Documented The site footer names EZ Spins Ltd, registration number 16159, in Hamchako, Mutsamudu, Anjouan, Union of Comoros.

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) ↗	Documented The footer cites an Anjouan licence under number ALSI-202509076-F12.

On 2026-10-24 that page listed EZ Spins Ltd, sportsbet.io and licence ALSI-202509076-FI2 with operating status VALID. The footer number has the digit 1 where the validator has the letter I. The pages checked cite no Curaçao licence. Checked Oct 24, 2026Sportsbet.io homepage and footer ↗Sportsbet.io help centre: Contact Us ↗Anjouan Gaming licence validation page for sportsbet.io ↗
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 ↗	Documented The Restricted Jurisdictions page lists 46 jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Australia. Terms clause 3.2 bars registration from a restricted jurisdiction and bars third-party software that hides the location. The AML and KYC policy gives a different list. That list adds Algeria, Angola, Belarus, Comoros, Côte d'Ivoire and Kenya. It omits Cameroon, Israel, Italy, Laos, Monaco, Portugal, South Africa and Zimbabwe. RTP Ledger records both lists and does not choose one.

04Account journey and closure	Not checked Registration, verification stages, account currency and closure journey are not checked.

Clause 3.12 blocks withdrawals for 48 hours after a password change. Coverage gaps: observed verification journey, observed account-closure journey. Checked Oct 24, 2026Sportsbet.io general terms and conditions ↗

It also lists TRY and CAD. The minimum deposit page lists the same crypto assets except SOL. Neither page names a network for each asset.

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 minimum deposit page lists 0.000007 BTC, 0.00013 ETH, 0.002 LTC, 0.25 USDT, 3 TRX, 0.31 XRP, 0.694 ADA, 3.535 DOGE, 0.0009 BNB, 0.18 TON, 0.32556 POL, 0.25 USDC and 10,000 SHIB.

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. Processing time and effective fees stay unconfirmed by direct test. Coverage gaps: first-party withdrawal processing observation. Checked Sep 12, 2026BitStarz Payments and Available Currencies page ↗BitStarz terms and conditions ↗	Partial evidence The minimum withdrawal page lists 0.00024 BTC, 0.005 ETH, 0.1 LTC, 20 USDT, 20 USDC and 0.2 SOL among other amounts. It states that Sportsbet.io covers the crypto transaction fee. Terms clause 6.1 requires 3 blockchain confirmations of a deposit before a withdrawal. Clause 6.4 allows a 1x wagering requirement on deposits. Clause 6.9 allows at least 5x if the operator suspects mixer use.

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 homepage states a 100% welcome bonus of up to 300 USDT for new sportsbook players. The reward terms give wagering contributions by product but not the terms of this offer. RTP Ledger did not read the offer page, so the wagering requirement, minimum deposit and expiry are unknown. Coverage gaps: bonus economic terms, bonus eligibility and expiry. Checked Oct 24, 2026Sportsbet.io homepage and footer ↗Sportsbet.io reward terms and conditions (updated 05.06.2026) ↗
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 The AML and KYC policy requires identity verification on the first withdrawal of any amount, at USD 10,000 in cumulative deposits, or on suspicious activity. Terms clauses 5.8 and 6.5 state the same two triggers. Clause 6.7 allows additional checks on withdrawals above USD 10,000. The policy accepts a passport, national identity card, driving licence or residence permit. Proof of address must be dated within the last three months. Enhanced due diligence can ask for source of funds and source of wealth. RTP Ledger has not run a test account on sportsbet.io.

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 gambling page offers a cooling-off period of at least 24 hours on request. Support then explains self-exclusion for 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or permanently. Requests go to safergaming@sportsbet.io. An account closed under self-exclusion cannot be reopened before the period ends. Terms clause 16.2 keeps self-exclusion records for at least seven years. Terms clause 16.1 mentions self-limiting features but names no deposit, loss or wager limit. The responsible gambling page names no limit tool. The limit types and periods are not established.

Coverage gaps: published game RTP values. Checked Sep 12, 2026BitStarz terms and conditions ↗	Partial evidence Terms clause 14.1 states that each game has a theoretical RTP value.

How the casino comparison works

On 2026-10-24, Bitstarz has 12 areas with source support. Sportsbet.io has 17. 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.
Sportsbet.io: 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.
