Licence on the regulator's register
A logo in the footer proves nothing. The licence number and company name must appear on the regulator's own register, with the same domain.
Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and search it on the regulator's public register. Some regulators publish no searchable register; then ask support for the certificate.

888STARZ at a glance
888STARZ runs dozens of currencies and payment methods across Africa, Asia and Latin America, but Ireland is on its restricted list.
For a reader in Ireland that settles it: the facts below are for comparison only.
Playing from Ireland
Ireland regulates gambling under the Gambling Regulation Act 2024. The regulator, the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI), began issuing remote betting licences on 1 July 2026; it plans to open applications for gaming licences, which cover online casinos, during 2027 and 2028. 888STARZ does not appear among Irish licence holders.
Until then, every online casino that takes Irish players does so under a foreign licence. The GRAI has said that tackling unlicensed operators is a priority, and a casino's terms for Ireland can change as Irish licensing begins. Opening an account from Ireland would also break this casino's own terms.
Licence and safety
Curaçao has rebuilt its licensing system: the Curaçao Gaming Authority now issues licences directly, keeps a public register and accepts player complaints. It is still a lighter regime than an EU regulator such as Malta's.
The Kahnawake Gaming Commission is based in the Mohawk territory near Montréal. It publishes a list of permit holders and runs a complaints process.
Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and look it up on the regulator's own register. Then set a deposit limit before you play; if the casino offers no limits or self-exclusion, treat that as a warning. Our page on responsible gaming lists the tools to look for.
Games and studios
The studios include Hacksaw Gaming, Nolimit City, Thunderkick, BGaming and Endorphina, among 51 names in total.
The lobby also has crash games, which run fast and can drain a balance quickly.
Many slots come in several RTP versions and the casino picks which one to run. Open the game's information screen and check the RTP before you play.
Deposits and withdrawals
The account can run in euros, so there is no conversion on your payments. Deposit methods include Visa, Mastercard and Skrill, plus crypto such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin.
It lists 24 withdrawal methods, including Visa, Skrill, Bitcoin and Bkash, which also work for deposits.
How to deposit at 888STARZ
- Register with your real details, exactly as they appear on your ID.
- Open the cashier, pick a method and enter the amount; check the minimum deposit if you want the welcome offer.
- Confirm the payment in your banking app, card screen or wallet.
- Set a deposit limit in your account before your first bet.
How to withdraw from 888STARZ
- Upload your ID and proof of address early, because no reputable casino pays out without them.
- Open the cashier, choose Withdraw and, where you can, the method you deposited with.
- Check that no active bonus still has wagering left, or it can block the withdrawal.
- Start with a small amount and note how long it takes to reach you.
Our guide to ID checks at new casinos explains which documents casinos ask for and why.
Welcome offer and terms
The current offer for players in Ireland is shown at the top of this page, as the casino states it. What it is worth comes down to the terms: wagering, the time limit, the maximum bet while the bonus is active, which games count and any cap on winnings.
- Open the bonus terms before you deposit and note the wagering and the time limit.
- Check whether your payment method is excluded from the offer; e-wallets often are.
- Keep to the maximum bet while the bonus is active, or the casino can void it.
- Big packages are spread over several deposits. Claim only the stages you would have deposited anyway.
Our guide on how to find and claim bonuses works through the maths, and the terms and conditions overview lists the clauses that matter.
Our verdict
No. 888STARZ does not accept players from Ireland, and getting round that with a VPN puts your winnings at risk. Compare it here if you like, then choose a casino on our list that takes Irish players.
