What 888Starz does

888Starz is an online sports betting and casino platform founded in 2020 and operated by AZIMUTONE Limited, registered in the Netherlands Antilles and licensed by Curacao and Maltese gaming authorities. The company targets individual online bettors and casino players across 40+ country-specific localized markets spanning Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America, offering a unified product suite that includes pre-match and live sports betting across 35+ sports and esports titles, an online casino with 3,500+ slot machines from 100+ software providers, and a live dealer section with 20 studios including Evolution Gaming and Vivo Gaming. Distribution runs through a desktop website, mobile-optimized web, and native apps for Android (APK) and iOS (TestFlight), supported by 40+ fiat and cryptocurrency payment methods, social-login onboarding, and an affiliate-driven customer acquisition program.

The platform's defining technology is its integration with the Tron blockchain and its proprietary 888Tron (888T) cryptocurrency token, which is mined from player betting activity under a 65/35 split favoring players. It also offers an in-house suite of blockchain-based games branded 888Games that are exclusive to the platform. Revenue is generated through betting margins on sports wagers, house edge on casino and live dealer games, and the casino's 35% retention of mined 888Tron tokens. The business uses a product-led, affiliate-augmented go-to-market model with a welcome package (up to 150,000 RUB plus 150 free spins on an 800 RUB minimum deposit), ongoing cashback up to 20%, free bets from 80 RUB, and promo codes (e.g., 888STARZBETS) to drive sign-ups and retention. Ownership appears to remain with the founding entities (AZIMUTONE Limited and Bittech BV), with no disclosed external institutional investment.
