Head-to-Head Comparison · 2026
Mirax Casino vs BitStarz
The bonus is the headline that drives most players to this comparison: Mirax's 4-deposit welcome pack up to 5 BTC plus 150 free spins (100 on D1, 50 on D2, cash-only on D3/D4), versus BitStarz's 5 BTC plus 180 free spins. The two now tie on BTC-denominated ceiling: the structural difference is the operator history underneath. BitStarz has run as a standalone brand since 2014. Mirax launched in 2022 as part of the 7Bit Partners network, which has been operating other established brands since 2014. New brand, proven backbone versus decade-old standalone.
BitStarz wins on trust (9.2 vs 8.6), withdrawal speed (9.5 vs 8.8), bonus fairness scoring (8.8 vs 8.4, the 0.4 gap reflects the structural transparency of an established brand more than a specific Mirax problem), and free-spin count in the welcome pack (180 vs 150). Mirax wins on coin count by one (XRP added vs BitStarz's six) and on game library breadth (7,000+ titles vs 3,000+ at BitStarz, though BitStarz pairs that with 100+ providers, the broadest curation in our reviews). The two now tie on BTC-denominated welcome ceiling at 5 BTC across four deposits.
The 25% admin fee on bonus-related withdrawals at BitStarz is now the single biggest delta in the comparison. Mirax doesn't document the same structure. At the same 5 BTC headline ceiling, a fully-cleared Mirax bonus delivers ~25% more BTC-equivalent value to the wallet than the equivalent BitStarz one, which makes Mirax the better pick when you're optimising for headline-cleared value rather than absolute spin count.

Verdict
The withdrawal-fee delta is the visible difference; the operator history is the structural one. The two now tie on BTC-denominated welcome ceiling at 5 BTC across four deposits, but BitStarz applies a 25% admin fee on bonus-related withdrawals that Mirax does not. BitStarz brings 12 years of standalone reputation, a faster headline withdrawal window, and a more decorated brand. If the after-fee bonus value is your primary deciding factor and you'll clear the wagering, Mirax is the better pick: Mirax's cleaner cashier delivers ~25% more BTC-equivalent value at the same headline ceiling. If brand longevity, slightly faster withdrawals, and the larger 180-spin pack matter more, BitStarz wins on those exact dimensions. Both are legitimate Curaçao-licensed operators with proven payout infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions on choosing between Mirax Casino and BitStarz in 2026.
Which has the bigger welcome bonus, Mirax or BitStarz?
Mirax: up to 5 BTC + 150 free spins across the 4-deposit welcome pack. BitStarz: 5 BTC + 180 free spins across four deposits. The two tie on BTC headline ceiling. BitStarz adds 30 more free spins (180 vs 150); Mirax skips the 25% admin fee BitStarz applies to bonus-related withdrawals, which means at the same headline ceiling, Mirax delivers ~25% more BTC-equivalent value to the wallet after clearing the bonus. For players optimising for after-fee bonus value, Mirax wins; for players valuing the larger spin pack, BitStarz.
Is Mirax Casino part of the 7Bit network?
Yes. Mirax Casino launched in 2022 as part of the 7Bit Partners network, which has been operating other established casino brands since 2014 (including 7Bit Casino itself). The backbone is proven; the Mirax-specific brand is newer. This is the operator-history structural difference versus BitStarz, which has run as a standalone brand since 2014.
Does BitStarz really charge 25% on bonus withdrawals?
Yes. BitStarz documents a 25% admin fee on bonus-related withdrawals in its terms. This is flagged in our BitStarz review as the catch most players don't see coming. If you clear a welcome or reload bonus and want to withdraw the resulting winnings, 25% comes off at the cashier. Mirax doesn't apply the same structure on bonus winnings.
Which has more cryptocurrencies, Mirax or BitStarz?
Mirax accepts 7 cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, USDT, LTC, DOGE, BCH, XRP); BitStarz accepts 6 (BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, BCH, USDT). Mirax adds XRP. Both cover the major coins. Neither approaches BC.Game's 100+ coin coverage: for broad altcoin holders, both fall short on this dimension.
Which has the bigger game library?
Mirax: 7,000+ titles from Evolution, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt and other top-tier providers. BitStarz: 3,000+ titles but from 100+ providers, the broadest provider curation in our reviews. Raw count favours Mirax; provider diversity favours BitStarz. Whether quantity or curation matters more depends on whether you tend to play across many providers or stick to a few favourites.
