Seven Boxes

Written and checked by Hanne BruunRecords editor

Seven yes-or-no questions, asked of a hundred operators

Every BitStarz alternative here is counted by what it prints

Seven questions go to every operator, and each asks one thing: is this printed where a reader can open it. BitStarz answers five. Across a hundred operators the seven questions produced 286 filled boxes out of 700.

Five boxes filled, and two left open

Seven questions go to every operator on this site, and each one asks whether a fact is printed where a reader can open it. BitStarz answers five of the seven. Of a hundred operators put through the identical seven, exactly two answer all of them and 26 answer none, which leaves 286 of the 700 available boxes filled and 414 open. Every figure below was read on 26 August 2026, apart from one row read on 2 September 2026 and marked as such.

The count measures publication. It sits at a deliberate distance from taste, from payout speed and from whether a casino is any good, all of which are questions somebody else is welcome to answer. What it does settle is whether a reader who wants to check a claim has anything to open.

The seven questions, and how often each gets an answer

The questions run in the order a reader would ask them: who is this, who says so, and what have they committed to on paper.

the questionfilled, of 100
a permit number is printed68
the company holding the permit is named52
a register entry for that permit opens70
a schedule of excluded countries is published38

The shape of that column carries most of the argument. Identity is cheap to publish and widely published: two thirds of the hundred print a permit number, and a register entry opened for 70 of them. Commitments about money are rare. Five operators in a hundred state the amount at which they will ask for documents, and 14 state a ceiling on what leaves the account in a given period.

A pair of the seven questions read one document between them, which is a known softness and is set out at length on the wording of each question. The list of territories and the page it lives on usually arrive in a single clause, so one act of publishing collects two ticks. One operator in the hundred separates them: Punt Casino has a printed address recorded against it while the schedule behind that address remains unopened, which is why it stands alone on one box out of seven.

Where the hundred landed

Every operator gets a whole number from nought to seven, and the whole distribution fits in eight rows.

Multiply and add and the arithmetic closes: 26 zeros, one 1, 19 twos and so on come to 286, which is the same 286 as the column above. A reader who wants to audit the page can do it with a pocket calculator, and that is the reason both totals are printed rather than one.

The distribution has two humps and a trench. Sixty-three operators sit on three boxes or fewer, and most of those have published an identity of some kind while committing to nothing about money. Thirty-three sit on five or more, and they are the operators whose terms carry numbered clauses a reader can quote back. Between them sits the four-box band, which holds three operators, and that trench is a fact about how terms are drafted rather than about the businesses: a casino that starts publishing money clauses tends to publish more than one.

BitStarz falls in the upper group without reaching its top. It prints the number OGL/2024/165/0185, names Gareton B.V. as the holder, and the Curaçao Gaming Authority entry for that number opened on 26 August 2026 showing the status Active. It publishes a schedule of 74 countries and prints the address of that schedule. Its two blanks are the money ones. The BitStarz terms make verification an obligatory procedure and reserve the right to ask for identity, payment and address documents at the operator’s sole discretion, which is a policy rather than a figure, so the verification box stays open. No payout ceiling appears, so that box stays open too.

One name scores what seventy-four scores

Here is the result everything else on this page is built around. Bitcasino.io fills all seven boxes. Its published schedule of excluded countries contains one name. BitStarz fills five, and its schedule contains 74.

That is arithmetically correct and it is easy to misread. The fourth box asks whether a schedule is published, and it takes yes or no for an answer. A schedule of 224 names and a schedule of one name both answer yes, and both fill one box. Length was never being weighed, because the seven questions ask what an operator has committed to print, and a single line of print is still print.

Run a finger down the two right-hand columns and they refuse to move together. The longest schedule on the page belongs to an operator on six boxes. The shortest schedule ties with the longest tally. Rocketpot names 34 countries and fills seven; Bitcasino.io names one and fills seven as well; Stake also names one and fills five. Schedule length and disclosure are separate properties, and putting them side by side is the fastest way to see it.

Now the part that matters to somebody choosing where to move an account. A short schedule means less has been typed. It is silent about what the operator will do, because the schedule is one clause inside a contract that also reserves broad rights elsewhere: to verify at discretion, to close an account, to refuse a customer whose circumstances the operator dislikes. A schedule of 74 hands a reader 74 answers in advance. A schedule of one hands over one answer and leaves the remainder to be discovered at the moment it applies, which is usually the moment somebody asks for their money.

There is a further wrinkle worth printing. The single country named by Bitcasino.io is absent from the BitStarz schedule of 74 entirely. So the shorter document overlaps the longer one on nothing at all, and a reader who assumed the short list was a trimmed version of the long one would be holding an assumption rather than a reading. Moving to an operator that prints less is a move toward finding out later, which is a choice a person is entitled to make, provided they make it knowing that is the choice.

Bitcasino.io, box by box

One row, opened cell by cell, so the tally above can be checked rather than trusted. All seven readings are dated 26 August 2026.

A permit number is printed. OGL/2023/111/0069. Filled.

The holding company is named. Moon Technologies B.V. Filled.

A register entry opens. The certificate for that number resolved at the Curaçao Gaming Authority register showing the status Active. Filled.

A schedule of excluded countries is published. One name appears in it. Filled, on the terms of the question as written.

The schedule has a printed address. It sits inside the terms and conditions of use, at an address printed on the operator’s help centre. Filled.

A verification figure is stated. Clause 6.6: withdrawals above €2,500 or the equivalent in cryptocurrency may attract additional identity checks, with smaller withdrawals liable to the same treatment where the licence requires. Filled.

A payout ceiling is stated. Clause 6.10: 1,000,000 USDT a week. Filled.

Seven for seven. Compare the same exercise at BitStarz and five cells fill identically in kind, while boxes six and seven meet policy language with no figure attached. That is the entire difference between five and seven, and it is worth about as much as it sounds: two clauses, one operator, one afternoon of reading. Whether either operator honours what it prints is a different question, and the count makes no attempt on it.

Seven questions were put to every operator, and the table records which ones its own documents answer: is a permit number printed, is the holding company named, does a register entry open, is a list of excluded countries published, does that list have an address, is a verification threshold stated, is a payout ceiling stated. BitStarz answers five of the seven. The count measures disclosure and nothing else — an operator that names one country rather than seventy-four is not more open, it has simply printed less, and its contract may still exclude what its list does not mention. An empty cell means the document was not read. It is not a zero, and it is not a permission.

Twelve read line by line

The twelve rows above were filled from the operators’ own documents, and they fill at very different depths. Eleven of the twelve print a permit number. Eleven publish a country schedule. Six put a payout ceiling in a numbered clause, and three put a figure on verification.

The six ceilings sit at wildly different heights, which is itself informative.

Four thousand a day and a million a week are both disclosures, and they describe opposite businesses. That is exactly why the count records only that a figure exists, and leaves the figure itself in the table above, where its size is visible and a reader can weigh it personally.

Three verification figures appear among the twelve: $2,500 at Rocketpot in clause 11.4, €2,500 at Bitcasino.io in clause 6.6, and 2,000 USDT at Empire.io in clause 5.4. The other nine describe verification as a matter for the operator’s discretion.

Winz.io publishes a schedule of 92 countries with an address attached and leaves both money boxes open, which puts it on five, level with BitStarz on a very different set of documents.

The row that was paid for

Visit

Vave holds the top position in the table because it paid for it, its row is tagged accordingly, and the seven questions reached it in the same wording as the other eleven. Four boxes came back blank: the country schedule, the address that schedule would sit at, and both money questions, which met the operator’s discretion rather than an amount. Its row in the table carries three empty cells, and the third of them has a story attached.

Its payout clauses did open, on 25 August 2026, and they are the kind of thing the seven questions were built to surface. Processing a withdrawal is given three working days under clause 8.1. Identity documents may be demanded ahead of any payout under clause 8.7, with a fortnight allowed to supply them. Anything over 50,000 USDT is paid in instalments under clause 8.8.

Our own files argue with each other about this operator, which belongs on the page rather than in a drawer. A reading of the Vave pages on 25 August 2026 produced a jurisdiction and the company TechOptions Group B.V., with the permit-number cell left empty, which is why the table above counts 11 permit numbers across 12 rows. A re-reading on 2 September 2026 produced Latcas B.V. and the number OGL/2024/1676/0905. Both entries keep their dates and the argument stays open, because settling it by choosing the tidier entry would be a preference dressed as a finding.

What this count refuses to settle

A schedule of excluded countries belongs to a private contract between a company and its customers. It records who that company turns away, and it settles nothing about the statutes in force wherever a reader happens to be sitting. Two questions, two sources, and this site works on the first alone. Readers after an account of their own legal position want a lawyer. Readers after a way around a territorial clause will find that subject missing from this site altogether, down to and including the version where it appears as a caution.

The register question deserves the same modesty. An entry tells a reader that a number came back from a portal on one particular morning. Portals go down, entries get amended, and a status seen on 26 August 2026 is a dated reading rather than a lasting property of a business. Where an entry opened, the status it showed travels next to the number.

The largest omission is the plainest one. Every operator named here is a set of documents to the person who wrote this page, rather than an account with a balance in it, so the sentences that begin with how a payout felt belong to somebody else’s website. Standing in their place: a clause number, a reading date, and a tally that rebuilds itself from the two tables near the top of this page. Every rule that fills a box, along with the four places the arithmetic bends, sits on the rules of the count, and the person doing the reading is described on the records editor.

Questions people actually type

What is the best BitStarz alternative?
That question asks for a verdict, and this page produces a count instead. On disclosure alone, two operators out of a hundred put all seven facts in writing: Rocketpot, which prints permit 1668/JAZ under Danneskjold Ventures B.V. with a verification figure of $2,500 in clause 11.4 and a payout ceiling of $5,000 a month in clause 11.5, and Bitcasino.io, which prints permit OGL/2023/111/0069 under Moon Technologies B.V. with €2,500 in clause 6.6 and a weekly ceiling of 1,000,000 USDT in clause 6.10. BitStarz itself sits on five of seven. All three readings are dated 26 August 2026, and a high count describes an operator that publishes, which is a smaller claim than a recommendation.
Is a casino with a shorter restricted-country list less restrictive?
The evidence on this page runs the other way. Bitcasino.io names one country in its published schedule and fills all seven boxes; BitStarz names 74 and fills five; Oshi Casino names 224 and fills six. The length of a schedule measures how much an operator has typed, and the seven boxes treat a list of 224 and a list of 1 identically, because both answer the question 'is a list published' with a yes. A contract can exclude a player it never listed, and the shorter the schedule, the more of that decision stays with the operator.
Which of these operators states when it will ask for documents?
Five out of the hundred attach a figure to that clause, and three of those five print the identical figure of €2,500 in an identically numbered clause 6.6, which says more about one drafting template than about three businesses. The other two are Rocketpot, at $2,500 in clause 11.4, and Empire.io, at 2,000 USDT in clause 5.4. The remaining 95 describe verification as something the operator may require at its own discretion, BitStarz among them, whose terms make verification obligatory while leaving the amount out. Every one of those readings is dated 26 August 2026.
What does an empty cell mean in the table?
It means the document behind that cell was left unopened on the reading date, and it means only that. An empty cell has never been written up here as a zero, as an absence of limits, or as permission for anybody. Sixty-two of the hundred country schedules remain unopened, so 62 rows carry a blank in that column, and turning those blanks into good news would invent a fact out of our own reading. The blank stays a blank until the document is opened and dated.
