Is BitStarz legit?
BitStarz commits in clause 8.7.1 of its own terms to trying to pay out withdrawals within 1 hour, and clause 8.7.10 states that neither BitStarz nor its payment processor charges any withdrawal fee; we re-read both clauses verbatim on 2026-08-15. The same terms reserve verification at withdrawal, the first withdrawal can add a verification day, and the deposit must be wagered once before cashout. Its rewards are not computable cashback, which is why it sits on our refusals ledger.
We answer from what we could verify on the operator's own pages and in checkable public records, and we say plainly what we could not.

How we know
Both clauses were fetched directly from bitstarz.com/terms on the date shown and matched our record word for word. The wagering-once rule and verification reservations are from the same terms. The cashback refusal reason is on the refusals ledger.
