well the fact that sirthomas and not sirthomas2 is recommending bitstarz is a real push of this provider into the "diamond level" of the most reliable list of sofware, hardware, and just ware providers. however no one in this age we're living in can be called 100% reliable, just need a peek into the history and recall names like UB/Absolute Bet, Full Tilt Poker, and probably a bunch of smaller names...
Untrustable sites rarely getting affiliated here and when sometimes it happens - khm, duck - the community backlash is inevitable, making sure that everybody knows what are they signing up for. Nobody here had a problem with BitStarz so far.

If you won't bother reading that thread here is a short summary:
They say you can't bet more than a certain amount when clearing bonuses but they didn't automated that limit: so their system let you bet more than that amount during bonus clearing. Until you lose your money you are fine but if you end up winning they won't let you withdraw your winning claiming you broke the rules.
My general opinion is Bitstarz have a predatory behaviour regarding winning coming from their bonuses and I am not going to play there until they change their attitude on this matter.

I think the name is a little bit strange and reminds of pokerstars, so this is not a very good sign, but if we dont mind this there is no evidence that this site is bad in any way, or stealing customers money, you have to look in google and if there are no bad topics in big numbers then it is ok
Thank you all for your valuable information .. I recently thought to play at this casino but something stopped me .... Now I understand that it was a premonition of trouble ... well that I have read this post and now I know exactly where it is not necessary to play

If they wanted to act fair they should prevent you from be tting more than the maximum allowed.
But no, they let you bet whatever amount you want; two possible outcomes then:
1) you lose your money => it's ok for them => they will keep your money
2) you win => it not ok, you broke the rules => they will keep your money
or you belong to that rare kind of people who read all the fineprints and are aware of the rule

Well if that rule is there in their terms for the bonuses, then the casino is not at fault. Even if in most cases, casino's do this on purpose You should read all the fine print before taking a bonus. This is the first rule when you want to get one. Saves you the trouble in the first place.

I call it predatory behaviour. And I personally prefer not to deposit my money and play to operators who show this attitude... fineprints or not.
They could just implement an automated script preventing players clearing bonuses from betting more than allowed but they prefer not to do so because of their greediness.

i understand you are upset maggat and i get your point but i have to say im with mober. you have been long enough in this business to know to better read the T&Cs - especially on smaller or unknown sites. its the same as if you take a no deposit bonus. on some sites your only allowed to play on low limits like NL2 or youll lose your NDB - except you make a deposit.
did you try to talk to them to find a solution? its the best way...except you have been rude to the support

You misunderstood me: I never played there , never created an account there and not going to do due to their attitude / behaviour. And it is happening because I 'm long time in this business meanwhile people new to this may fall for it ( it's what Bitstarz hope).
Also the example of NL2 limit for no deposit bonuses represent the exact opposite of what Bitstarz do:
lets get the old Cake Poker for example: they had that low limit tables policy for no deposit bonuses; if you tried to play higher stakes system you had a pop up displayed on your screen explaining you couldn't join higher stakes due to bonus limitation. And it's completely ok.
Different is the case if they let you join higher stakes and let you lose your bonus ....but if you would end up winning they wouldn't let you withdraw. ( it is what they do at Bitstarz)
Am disappointed because behaviour damage overall gambling industry reputation , beside their own one, keeping people far from this market.
And am also surprised Sirthomas completely vouch for them even if their behaviour brings damage to the whole industry he is involved into.

on cake poker it might have been that way, but on Ipoker for example were no pop ups to warn your that you about to break the rules.
btw maggat...i never knew the gambling industry has ever had a good reputation its a dirty business - always been.

And i forgot to say they charge when u deposit,example if deposit 20,fee is about 1 euro or something,and u pay 21 .First that experience with some casino.
Posted by T3ddyKGB: snip , but on Ipoker for example were no pop ups to warn your that you about to break the rules.
seems like about iPoker someone is stating the opposite as you but cannot know who is right because don't have a NDB experience there
Anyway my aim is to warn new users about the dangers of accepting bonuses at Bitstarz
may be skin related.
i have no experience with bitstarz so im out here, but i find its not that bad to read T&Cs or the manual like: do not put your cat in the microwave oven
