Check the BitStarz licence yourself

Go to bitstarz.com by typing the address, not through an ad or a link in a message.
Scroll to the casino footer and click the Curaçao seal. It should open a certificate page on exactly cert.cga.cw - not a look-alike domain and not an image.
Check the certificate: operator company name, licence number (current numbers look like OGL/2024/…), status, and the list of domains. The casino domain you are on must be in that list.
Compare the company and number with the casino terms and conditions. They should match exactly.
Older Curaçao numbers such as 8048/JAZ or 1668/JAZ were sub-licences under master licence holders from the previous system. A casino still showing only such a number deserves a closer look; see the guide below.

What a licence does not tell you

It does not say how fast BitStarz pays or whether it pays every withdrawal; see BitStarz withdrawal limits, fees and time for what it states.
It does not mean the casino is allowed where you live. BitStarz's own restricted-countries list is on the profile.
It is a snapshot. Licences are suspended and revoked; check the certificate again before a large deposit.
Regulators differ in how they handle player complaints. A licence gives you somewhere to complain, not a guarantee of the outcome.

We do not give verdicts. A licence confirmed in the register is one fact; withdrawal terms, KYC rules and, later, our own timed withdrawals are others. The BitStarz profile lists them with sources, and our casino check tool shows live signals for any casino domain.

How do I check the BitStarz licence myself?

Open the Curaçao regulator's own register or certificate page (typed, not via a link you were sent), find bitstarz.com there, and match the domain, company and licence number with the casino's terms. Step by step for this regulator is on this page.
