What's behind the 38/100
6 weighted checks, total 100. Each bar shows the score, weight, and what it means.
What this score means: Few or no active operator licences in tracked registers. Recourse in disputes may be limited.
Context: Measures how strong the strongest active licence is, not whether the brand is illegal to use in your country.
Evidence: Unclassified regulator: Kenya-BCLB
What this score means: Operating company opaque. No verified ownership chain in Wikidata or Companies House.
Context: Measures public-register disclosure depth; a brand can be legitimately owned but thinly documented in tracked registers.
Evidence: No corporate-ownership disclosure found
What this score means: Security posture acceptable but with some gaps (weak headers or unpatched CVE on shared IP).
Evidence: Mozilla Observatory: C
What this score means: Mixed review signals. Some platforms positive, others negative or sparse.
Evidence: Consumer reviews (wayback): 4.2star (83 reviews)
What this score means: No fraud-intel hits, no AML enforcement actions, no KEV CVEs on infrastructure.
Evidence: No threat-intel hits
What this score means: Operational maturity moderate. Either young domain, basic hosting, or infrastructure changed recently.
Evidence: Domain age: 6y

Frequently asked questions
Is 888starz safe?
888starz has a Trust Score of 38/100 with high data confidence. It rates below average and warrants caution: licensing 0/100, reviews 66/100, corporate 13/100, security 60/100. No active red flags are recorded against the brand.
What do third-party review platforms say about 888starz?
888starz appears on multiple independent review aggregators that measure different aspects of player experience. An open consumer-review platform, which collects open consumer reviews, shows 4.2/5 across 83 reviews captured from a Wayback snapshot of 888starz.com. Open consumer-review platforms reflect sentiment from any consumer who chooses to post; dispute-mediation services reflect how an operator behaves when disputes are escalated, so the two metrics measure different things.
Where is 888starz available?
888starz accepts players from 1 jurisdiction per atlas data, including Poland. Availability lists are derived from public terms-of-service pages and licence registers; geofencing rules can be tighter than what is publicly stated, and accounts opened from restricted IPs are usually voided. Always verify your specific country on the official site before depositing.
What are alternatives to 888starz?
Alternatives in the same operator family (parent group: 1xbet) include 1xbit-crypto, 1xstavkaru, 22bet, asprobet, astekbet and 27 other branded clones. Same-family sites typically share the platform, licensing posture, payment rails, and corporate ownership, so a complaint pattern, regulator action, or AML failure at one site frequently recurs across siblings. Compare independent Trust Scores side by side before switching, and check whether the alternative holds the same licences in your country.
Is 888starz's site secure?
888starz scores 60/100 on the Trust Score v2 security component, indicating a mid-tier security posture. Signals include: Mozilla Observatory grade C; HSTS + CSP (+5). The security component blends HTTP-header hardening (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options), TLS configuration, DNS hygiene (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), CDN/WAF presence, and hosting reputation; it does not assess the operator's internal security or breach history.
