Where is BitStarz located? The short answer is Willemstad, Curaçao — the registered office of Gareton B.V., the company that currently holds the license BitStarz operates under. The longer answer is more interesting: that address is not a BitStarz-only building, the entity behind it has changed at least once before, and neither fact is disclosed anywhere near the homepage.
The Registered Address, Specifically
BitStarz's current operator, Gareton B.V., is registered in Curaçao under company number 160656. Its listed registered office is Landhuis Zuikertuin, Zuikertuintjeweg z/n, Willemstad, Curaçao — a commercial building generally known as Zuikertuin Tower. That is a genuine, filed corporate address, not a mail drop in the pejorative sense. But it is also not exclusive to BitStarz: other, unrelated Curaçao-licensed gaming companies list the same building as their registered office, which is a routine feature of how corporate registration works on the island rather than a red flag specific to this operator.
One building, several licensees. Zuikertuin Tower shows up as the registered address for more than one Curaçao gaming company. A shared corporate-services address is normal there — it just means “headquarters” here describes a filing location, not a dedicated BitStarz campus.
The Entity Behind the Brand Has Changed Before
Gareton B.V. is not the only name BitStarz has operated under. Before Curaçao's National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK) took effect on December 24, 2024 and eliminated the old master-sublicense system, BitStarz ran under a different entity, Dama N.V., registered at a separate Willemstad address — Julianaplein 36. The brand, the games, and the URL stayed the same through that transition; the legal company answering for it did not. That pattern — same consumer brand, different corporate shell over time — is common across offshore crypto casinos and worth knowing before treating any one entity name as permanent.
The License That Goes With the Address
Gareton B.V. holds Curaçao Gaming Control Board license OGL/2024/165/0185, issued as part of the post-LOK direct-licensing regime. That license is what makes the Curaçao registration more than just a mailing address — it is the regulatory basis BitStarz actually operates under, distinct from Costa Rica-style setups where an offshore book's office sits in a country that does not regulate gambling at all. Curaçao does regulate it here; the entity doing the regulated operating is just Gareton B.V., not “BitStarz” as a standalone legal person.
Not a US Company, and Not Claiming to Be
BitStarz holds no US state gaming license, and its own terms name the United States and Puerto Rico as restricted jurisdictions — real-money registration from either is blocked outright. Unlike some offshore operators whose marketing copy and license certificate tell two different stories, BitStarz is at least consistent on this point: it does not claim US licensing anywhere, because it does not have any.
What's Confirmed, What Isn't
- Confirmed: Gareton B.V., Curaçao registration number 160656, registered office at Landhuis Zuikertuin, Zuikertuintjeweg z/n, Willemstad, Curaçao.
- Confirmed: Curaçao Gaming Control Board license OGL/2024/165/0185, live under the post-LOK direct-licensing system.
- Confirmed: the predecessor entity, Dama N.V., operated BitStarz from a different Willemstad address before the December 2024 licensing overhaul.
- Not confirmed: any dedicated BitStarz office or staff location beyond the shared Curaçao registered address — BitStarz, like most crypto casinos, does not publish one.
“Where is BitStarz located” has a filed, checkable answer — Curaçao, under Gareton B.V., at a shared registered address. It is a more honest answer than a vague “globally operated” line, but it is also not the same thing as a corporate headquarters in the way a US-licensed operator like BetRivers or BetMGM would have one.
