I will add one disturbing term I found in the bonus terms once I managed to navigate a few pages of the site to get to is this :
Players who are solely making deposits when there is a bonus available will risk of having their winnings from the bonus confiscated and being left with the initial deposited amount of the bonus in question. Players who make 5 deposits in a row (excluding welcome package) to the casino and trigger a bonus on all of those will risk of losing their winnings from the bonus.
At least a single genuine deposit without bonus release has to be made prior to reaching 5 bonus releasing deposits in a row. The amount of the deposit has to be at least the average amount of the previous deposits made that triggered a bonus.
Decision if to confiscate funds will be made by the BitStarz Management and the decision made will be final.
As far as I'm aware from previously playing on Bitstarz is that all of their bonuses that they offer are automatic meaning that if you don't want a bonus on that deposit you have to specifically checkmark you do not want to receive bonuses. Weekly if not more I'm always receiving an email to go ahead and click on the link to take me to their deposit page and enjoy a 50% bonus. An unaware gambler that hasn't read this term may deposit weekly using the 50% and lose on the previous four and on the fifth deposit manage to enjoy some luck go ahead and make a nice cashout only for Bitstarz to deny their winnings based on term 2a of the general bonus terms and conditions. Wow. Given this term I do not think as highly of bitstarz as I previously had and think I will just unsubscribe from further promo emails from this company.
This is even nastier as it uses social engineering to entrap players. Not only do they have 2 differing sets of terms, one much harder to find than the other, they have an automatic system that puts players into the position of involuntarily violating the harder to find set of terms, and even where the player knows the rules, the automatic system still drops them into the trap and makes them climb out before they can just get on and play.
If a 30% rule NEVER applies, and it's always 10%, why is a 30% rule even mentioned at all, let alone in the wrong place.
The whole thing is a deception aimed at players who take bonuses, and it's no real mitigation that players who don't take bonuses end up getting very good treatment. A new player is meant to find the terms I found, but not the far stricter terms that actually apply. These they probably find out about after the fact, when their winnings get confiscated because they broke an unpublished term, even though they had found, read, and understood what is already a dozen pages of terms and conditions.
This isn't something that will affect a UK player who has read these terms as one is that players from the US and the UK cannot play for real money nor Bitcoin. It's rather odd because it's not illegal for a UK citizen to play at Bitstarz, but it is illegal for Bitstarz to offer it's service to the UK, however it's just as illegal for Bitstarz to offer it's services in many other countries, but they do nevertheless in the knowledge that it's going to be almost impossible for these countries to do anything about it, especially with the Bitcoin side.
They should just be honest and promote themselves as a no-bonus casino, rather than use bonuses as a lure, but have to set all these traps because otherwise the offers would cost them too much money. Being a Bitcoin casino in itself is a new(ish) concept, and SHOULD bring in many players who cannot play in regular casinos due to their nannying governments, unfortunately they seem to have embraced Bitcoin, yet voluntarily placed themselves into the regulatory straight jacket that applies to fiat currency casinos. If they embraced the full spirit in which the Bitcoin community operate, they would throw away all the artificial constraints down to national borders, and accept ALL players who had a valid Bitcoin account. After all, the very nature of Bitcoin prevents things like card fraud due to chargebacks, because once Bitcoin is transferred, there is no way to recall it, and neither can a third party wade in and confiscate the transaction or the float, such as the FBI or DoJ. The Bitcoin casino would only have to obey the laws of it's host country, and there would be nothing the US, or the UK for that matter, could do about it so long as all transactions were in Bitcoin, and the casino didn't try paying players with fiat currency via the regular banking systems.
Bitstarz should alter it's terms so that they are much clearer, and also redesign it's systems such that players are steered into compliance, and have to work hard to get things like a 6th consecutive bonus. Players may complain that the bonus they had expected on their 6th deposit didn't turn up, but this is better than having to confiscate the win after the fact. CS could simply tell the player that the system didn't credit the bonus because they had already had 5 in a row, and that if they were to deposit again, the bonus they were expecting would be credited, along with a maximum of 4 more on the trot until once again the system would hold back due to the 5 in a row rule.
I don't find it at all common for casinos to have different max bets for different games, what is common is for slots to count 100%, but non slots to count far less, even 0%. The max bet is set site wide, but varies considerably from one casino to another. Some are indeed as low as 10%, and a few even lower, but it's 10% across the board, not 10% in one set of terms and 30% in another.
