What it was

StarBets.io was a crypto casino with in-house games (dice, limbo, mines, keno, coin flip, plinko, blackjack) and third-party slots and live casino. It accepted BTC, TRX, ETH, USDT, LTC and other coins.

According to the whitepaper, STAR was an ERC-20 token mined by placing bets. The dividend pool was calculated as lost bets minus won bets, cashback and referrals, and 2% of it was paid out to STAR holders every 24 hours.

No official reason has been found.
