BitStarz reviewed: Is this bitcoin casino a scam?

PokerI have already written a blog post on the Safest Ways to Pay Online, in which I shared with you the top 3 preferred methods when you want to purchase goods and services from the comfort of your home without risking becoming the victim of a scam, fraud, or identity theft and I stand by it. However, there’s a whole new level of paying online where safety is not only not compromised but is, in fact, the primary aim. I’m talking about Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a payment system. Unlike PayPal, Bitcoin is a chance for people and companies to exchange items for bitcoins directly, without the need for an intermediary. Unlike credit cards where the tax is usually 2-3%, Bitcoin “costs” merchants from 0% up to 2% in taxes. There are many other advantages to using cryptocurrency but let’s now turn to how a casino player can benefit from cryptocurrency in their iGaming.

There are now many casinos that accept Bitcoin. They, actually, accept other payment options as well, so if you’re not sure about switching to Bitcoin yet, you could explore those casinos and make a deposit using your credit or debit card or an e-wallet of choice. But the fact that those casinos accept Bitcoin makes them safer and earns them my and other players’ respect. However, without further ado, let me address a particular Bitcoin casino, namely BitStarz.

If you’ve heard the name and wondered if it’s a safe choice, I’d like to assure you that not only is it a good place where you can deposit and withdraw using Bitcoin but it’s one of the top casinos to do so. Why? Because, according to the BitStarz review on btc-casino.com it’s one of the oldest Bitcoin casinos and it will soon feature over 1000 games. Moreover, this respectable site offers games from 9 different game providers – that guarantees variety and the sheer volume is impressive as well. They do have a very good mobile app that makes gaming on the go easy and pleasurable. They also have a nice bonus package that awards your first 4 deposits. Another cool thing is that you can actually get free spins to use even prior to depositing any money. So, you see there’s not even a hint of scam – this is a respectable bitcoin casino, which is completely safe to deposit and play at.

And now, a fun fact… What do Xerox, Teflon, Velcro, Aspirin and Polaroid have in common? Apart from referring to innovative companies that have become household names, these all are also generonyms. A generonym is a generic trademark, also known as a genericized trademark, or a proprietary eponym.

There are, of course, many other such cases as new brands become influential and get genericized. A rather new example of this linguistic and cultural phenomenon is Bitcoin, which has already become the first thing people think of when they hear “digital currency” as is mentioned on this website.
