BitStarz Casino Launches Max Bet Bonus Protection

BitStarz, perhaps the most responsible Bitcoin-friendly online casino you can find to date, have more good news for their players starting from today. They’ve just launched a new widget to help their members stick to the casino bonus terms to avoid getting their wins confiscated for bonus abuse.

Whether you’re a seasoned player or a newcomer, bonus rules at online casinos apply to everyone. Contrary to the popular belief, they are there to prevent promotional abuse, so the casino can operate normally and serve players with incorrupt aims. And one of the most popular clauses in such T&C is related to the maximum bet limit, which states that a player should not bet over a certain amount while playing with bonus money. This is usually within the €5 limit and applies to double-ups as well.

Intentionally or not, but breaking such rules results in a confiscation of bonus winnings. So to help you feel more at ease when using their match bonuses, for instance, BitStarz Casino now has a protection mechanism that warns you when your total stake goes beyond the limit. It’s called simply Max Bet Bonus Protection.

Here’s a video to show you how it works:

As the Marketing Manager of BitStarz, Kate Garber commented: “At BitStarz, we believe it’s absolutely vital to have a good relationship with our players, and listen to what they have to say. I’m delighted we’ve been able to find a technical solution to this and met our players request, and would like to state that we’ll always have our doors open for feedback”.

Speaking of BitStarz, it’s currently one of our highest-rated online casinos with an FRank above 8 points out of 10. While they do lack proper licensing – only the one from Curaçao – they have over 800 games from over a dozen of iGaming providers, such as NetEnt, Betsoft Gaming, Endorphina, Evolution, GameArt and iSoftBet. All of them are seeded from the SoftSwiss platform.

Lightning speed cashouts with an average payout time of 10 minutes and personal customer service agents are major bonuses to one’s stay as well. For a more in-depth overview, read our full BitStarz Casino review.

BitStarz is not the first online casino to implement this player-friendly bonus widget, as the award-winning SlotsMillion has come out with the same tool called Bonus Guard in January this year as well. Hopefully, more casinos will follow suit to patch this common player vulnerability.
