BitStarz and the US market: no state licence
BitStarz is in no state register we hold — the brand holds a licence from CGA, and it carries no weight in the US. Demand from the US is 159.7K searches a month, the first of the brand's 45 markets.
Records are published by state regulators themselves; the absence of a record in our database does not mean absence of a licence — we read the registries of four states — New Jersey (DGE), Pennsylvania (PGCB), Michigan (MGCB) and Delaware (Delaware Lottery) — whilst online casino is legal in seven. A map across all 52 jurisdictions is on the state legality page. NeBlask does not provide legal advice.
Brand's licences and why they are not valid in the US
For BitStarz 1 licence: Curaçao Gaming Authority. None of them grants the right to accept players from the USA: in the USA gambling is licensed by state, and no foreign licence is recognised here. There are no entries for the brand in the registers we read.
