How a disclosure tally is built here, one question at a time

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.

What each of the seven asks

Seven questions, put to 100 operators, each one answerable by opening a document and looking. The wording matters, so here it is in full.

Is a permit number printed? A specific string, on the operator’s own pages, that a person could type into a register. Sixty-eight of the hundred print one.

Is the holding company named? The legal entity the permit belongs to, rather than the brand painted on the front. Fifty-two name one.

Does a register entry for that permit open? An address exists at which the number resolves and returns something. Seventy have one recorded.

Is a schedule of excluded countries published? A list of territories from which the operator declines custom, appearing in the operator’s own documents. Thirty-eight publish one.

Does that schedule have a printed address? A page a reader can reach and quote. Thirty-nine have one.

Is a verification figure stated? An amount, attached to a numbered clause, above which the operator says it will ask for identity documents. Five state one.

Is a payout ceiling stated? An amount, with a period attached, above which withdrawals are limited in a given window. Fourteen state one.

Why these seven, and why none of them asks whether it is any good

Every one of the seven can be settled by a stranger with a browser. That was the entrance requirement and it disqualified most of the obvious candidates. Payout speed needs somebody’s stopwatch. Support quality needs somebody’s afternoon. Game count needs the operator’s own marketing, which is the least reliable document on the estate. Each of those would have produced a richer-looking tally that a reader could only accept on trust.

So the seven stay clear of whether an operator is good, generous, quick or pleasant. A tally of seven describes a filing cabinet. It says a reader who later wants to argue about a withdrawal has a numbered clause to point at, and it leaves the outcome of that argument wide open. An operator with a full tally and dreadful conduct is entirely possible, and the count would happily award it seven, which is a limitation worth naming rather than hiding. A clause to point at is the whole point of the seven checks behind each BitStarz alternative.

The upside of that narrowness is falsifiability. Every cell on this site can be disputed by opening the same document and printing the result, which is a standard the softer questions fail.

A register entry and a contract clause are different objects

Three of the seven questions read a register or a permit. Four read the operator’s own contract. Those are different kinds of evidence and they get written up differently here.

A register entry is a third party’s record. It reports whether a number comes back at all, in a portal, on the day it was typed in, and it can go stale, go down, or be amended overnight. A status is therefore filed as a portal’s answer on a stated morning, with the morning attached to it.

A contract clause is the operator speaking about itself, and it binds where marketing copy merely advertises. When a clause says withdrawals above €2,500 may attract additional checks, the operator has written down a condition a customer can quote back to it. That is the whole value of the last two questions, and it is why they are counted at all despite being rare.

Figures from the two sources stay apart on the page. A permit number carries the authority that issued it; a threshold carries the clause it sits in and the date the clause was read.

A blank is a blank

An empty cell on this site records one thing: the document behind it was still waiting to be opened on the reading date. It prints as a blank rather than as a zero, and it stops there. Where a schedule, a threshold or a ceiling would sit, the cell reports the state of our reading list and says that much only.

The scale of the blanks is worth stating plainly. Sixty-two of the hundred country schedules are still waiting to be opened, which puts more than half the pool behind an empty cell on the fourth question. Reading those blanks as good news would hand 62 businesses a favour manufactured out of our own reading list.

The blank cuts the other way as well, and it is an accusation about zero people. A document still waiting to be opened is capable of containing anything at all, including a schedule twice the length of the BitStarz one, and a tally of two out of seven describes the reading rather than the operator.

Four soft spots in the count

The weak points below are printed because a reader who found them unaided would be right to distrust everything above.

All seven weigh the same, and they are worth wildly different things. A permit number takes a line of markup. A payout ceiling of 15,000 EUR a month binds real money in a numbered clause. Both fill exactly one box, so an operator that publishes three cheap identity facts outscores one that publishes two expensive money facts. Equal weighting keeps the arithmetic checkable, and it costs realism.

Two of the seven read one document. The schedule of countries and the address of that schedule almost always arrive in the same clause, so one act of publication collects two ticks. Across the hundred the pair came apart precisely once: 38 schedules were opened against 39 recorded addresses, the odd one being Punt Casino, which has an address on file and a schedule still queued. Anybody who considers that pair a single question should read every tally on this site as out of six.

The register box counts an address that resolves, whoever happens to host it. Of the 70 entries recorded, 8 point at the operator’s own pages rather than at an authority’s register, because that is where the number was found. One of them is Rocketpot, which is also one of the two operators on a full seven. Its permit number 1668/JAZ and the company Danneskjold Ventures B.V. were read from its terms page on 26 August 2026, and a reading taken from the operator about the operator is a weaker thing than a reading taken from the authority. The tally treats the two alike, which flatters the weaker of them. What the seventy entries actually contain — sixty-eight printed numbers collapsing to fifty-three distinct references, and five entries returning a revoked status — is set out at the register column, opened.

The verification box counts drafting, and drafting travels. Five operators state a figure, and three of the five state the identical one in the identically numbered clause: €2,500 at clause 6.6, at Bitcasino.io, at Sportsbet.io and at Livecasino.io. One template, counted three times. The count is blind to the fact that those three sentences share an author, so the rarest and most valuable of the seven boxes is partly measuring how widely one law firm’s paragraph has been copied. All five figures, the clause each sits in and the qualification four of them carry are printed at five figures in a hundred.

A place in the table and a link are all the top row is. Vave met the seven questions in the same wording as everybody else and came away with four of them unanswered. Three boxes out of seven puts this desk's own pick a whisker above the pool average of 2.86 and a long way under the leaders, and the figure is printed where anybody can see it. Two readings of its ownership also sit in the file disagreeing with each other, dated eight days apart, and the disagreement is set out on the front page rather than tidied away.

Every operator besides that one is here because it appeared in the pool of a hundred, and the order of the table is this desk's own. Figures go stale on the operator’s own schedule, at whatever hour suits it, which is why a date travels with each one, and why the tally is a photograph rather than a standing claim. The tallies themselves, with the full distribution and a row opened box by box, sit on the hundred, counted, and the reading habits behind them on the records editor.
