Starda Sportsbook Review

Starda has a couple of sports bonuses. We found five different offers, including a welcome bonus, accumulator boosts, and a cashback bonus. Canadian players can claim these bonuses easily, with moderate terms that suit both beginners and experienced bettors. No promo codes are required for any promotions, making the process more seamless. 

Welcome Bonus 

New Canadian players at Starda can claim a welcome bonus for sports over their first three deposits. A minimum deposit of $20 is required for the offer. The wagering requirements could have been a tad lower as they’re currently set at 10x, which is a bit more than what we would love to see for a sports offer. 

However, note that only parlay bets qualify, with a minimum of three events. Each event must have odds of at least 1.50 odds or greater. The maximum amount players can win from the offer is 1x the bonus amount claimed. 

Express Cashback 

One regular sports offer we found on Starda is Express Cashback. To claim it, you must place a qualifying accumulator bet of three or more events. Each event must have odds of 1.50 or greater, and the bet amount must be at least $2.  

 Depending on the number of events in your selection, you can get between 5% and 50% cashback on losses. However, note that only “lost” events will be factored into the cashback calculation.   

Weekly Reload Offer 

The operator also features a reload bonus claimable once a week. Players who have deposited at least four times or more on the platform can benefit from it. It consists of a 50% bonus up to $200. However, we couldn’t find any other information regarding the terms. The customer support team couldn’t help about this, either. 

ACCA Boost (Express Bonus) 

Another promotion available on Starda is the Express Bonus. This ACCA boost gives players up to a 100% bonus on parlay bets. To get it, you must place a parlay bet with at least three events, each with odds of 1.50 or greater. The minimum stake amount must be $2. 

 You can get between a 5% and 100% bonus on top of your regular parlay potential win. For instance, if your parlay bet has 19 or more qualified events, you get a 100% bonus. This means that if the original potential win is $10,000, you’ll be rewarded with an extra $10,000, bringing it to $20,000.  

Sports Events 

Apart from sports bonuses, Starda features various events. You can participate in these events and win part of prize pools, like free bets. They are easy to participate in, as you only need to stake a specified amount on some sports.  

For example, to enter the Spring Bet Race #1 event, players must bet any amount on odds of 1.5 or higher. Each qualifying bet rewards players with points, which determine their position on the leaderboard and their prizes. 

Starda has a VIP club for rewarding loyal bettors with exclusive perks. There are four VIP levels: MID, HIGH, TOP, and PRO. We’re happy to see that this reward program is not invite-only. Instead, you become a VIP member by signing up and starting at the MID level. As you complete tasks and earn comp points, you can move up the levels. Every time you deposit $20, you earn 1 comp point.  

 Checking your current VIP level is also easy. Go to your account section, and you will see your level and progress. Here are the perks of the VIP Club: 

• Higher withdrawal limits
• Faster payouts
• Cashbacks
• Special bonuses
• 24/7 VIP support 

You can access various betting markets at Starda, and the odds are highly competitive. Go to the sports section, and you will see the top events to choose from. These include the NBA, Bundesliga, Champions League, and so on. The operator also highlights major games on its banner/slider image. 

Betting Markets 

Starda offers a wide range of betting markets for its sports events. We found over 2,000 markets for several soccer events, including popular and special options. Click on an event, and you will see all the available markets. These markets are divided into categories for a better user experience.  

Here are some of the popular markets available at Starda: 

• Matchwinner (Home Draw Away)
• Handicaps or point spread
• Totals under/over
• Preposition bets 

Odds 

To determine how good Starda’s odds are, we compared them with those of a few other top Canadian sportsbooks. Overall, Starda’s betting odds are pretty competitive. They were higher for some sports and events, like basketball and tennis, than the competitors’. However, the odds for soccer and American football are a fraction lower but still decent. 

Featured Sports 

Canucks at Starda can bet on more than 40 different sports, each covering a wide range of major and minor competitions and tournaments. You can bet on the NBA, MLB, NFL, and NCAA basketball. Esports are also available, and we found various games like Valorant, Counter Strike 2, Call of Duty, and Crossfire in this section.

Betting Features 

Starda has a couple of notable betting features. We used them to customize our bets and enhance my experience. The features of Starda are quite similar to those of most top sportsbooks in the country. 

Live Betting 

The live betting platform at Starda is decent. You can bet on events that are currently in play in most of the sports, including esports. There are also numerous in-play markets, such as team to score the next goal and total under/over. To access live betting, click the “Live” tab on the left sidebar of the sportsbook where the list of sports is displayed. 

Live Streaming 

As a CA bettor, you can stream live games at Starda. We’re pleased with this feature as it allows bettors to follow their bets and make decisions regarding live bets easily. Besides, the streams are of high quality and adapt to internet connection strength. You can pause a live stream, mute the sound and switch to full-screen mode. However, live streaming isn’t available for all sports and events. Events with live streaming have a TV icon on their tab.  

Early Cash Out 

The early cash out option is available at Starda and is easy to use. It allows players to settle their bets and take winnings before the end of a match. You can take partial or full cash out, and you will see the option in your active bet slip when available. Early cash out is available for both pre-match and live bets. 

Edit Bet 

Starda offers a feature that allows players to edit their bets before the matches begin. This applies to single and accumulator pre-match bets but not live bets. For single bets, you can only edit to add more events. But for accumulator bets, you can change events and add new ones. 

Starda accepts many popular Canadian payment methods, making it easy to deposit and withdraw winnings. The available fiat options include credit/debit cards, e-wallets, vouchers, and bank transfers. You can also use cryptocurrencies on the betting site, and the operator accepts the Canadian dollar.  

Deposits at Starda Sportsbook 

The available payment options for topping up your Starda account are diverse. You can deposit as low as $20 for fiat-based options and $10 using crypto. The sportsbook processes deposit transactions instantly with no fees attached.  

Withdrawals at Starda Sportsbook 

Starda offers multiple withdrawal options. Withdrawals start at $10, and you can get your winnings within 1 and 5 days, depending on the selected payout option. However, note that you are required to verify your email and phone number before you can withdraw winnings. You can withdraw as much as between $120,000 and $675,000 per month, depending on your VP status. 

You can play on mobile at Starda. We were able to access the betting site on various smartphones and tablets with no lags or bugs. You can place bets, claim bonuses, and cash out winnings on the mobile version. 

 Starda also offers a native app for Android devices. The app shares the same theme and arrangement as the website, but they load faster and navigating around is even easier. Unfortunately, there is no app for iOS currently. 

Starda’s website is intuitive, easy to navigate, and visually appealing. Its dark theme, with touches of red, gives the site a youthful and exciting vibe. We found our way around easily, especially with the main menus at the top and the collapsible sidebar. Creating an account with the sportsbook was also quick, taking me less than a few minutes.  

Although Starda doesn’t have a Canadian licence, it operates legitimately. It has a Curaçao eGaming licence, making it a suitable offshore betting site for CA players. In addition, the Starda website is SSL-secured. Data and connections flowing through the site are safeguarded from interception, thus enhancing bettors’ safety.  

s a CA bettor at Starda, you can get support from the operator 24/7. The fastest support option available is live chat. Once you click the chat button, you will be presented with two options: regular chat or online call. Testing both options, it took less than 2 minutes for an agent to respond.  

If you prefer email support, you can contact Starda at [email protected]. Note that it can take several minutes to a couple of hours for the operator to respond to emails. There is also the option to chat with the support team via Telegram and a comprehensive FAQ page with answers to various questions.
