88STAR review: a 2024 live casino for Thailand and Vietnam
2024 Founding year · On our list since 23 May 2024 · Year 3 of trading
88STAR was founded in 2024 and states a licence from Montenegro's Games of Chance Administration. It is young, with little history to check.
Its focus markets are Thailand and Vietnam, with baht, dong and dollar accounts. The library centres on Asian live studios such as SA Gaming, Sexy Baccarat and eBet, and FastPay is the only deposit and withdrawal method in our data.

Short answer
Should you try 88STAR?
Be cautious. 88STAR is a 2024 brand, it relies on one payment route, and gambling is restricted in both Thailand and Vietnam, so playing carries legal risk there. If you are a live baccarat player who still wants to try it, deposit a small amount and test a FastPay withdrawal first.

Licence on the regulator's register
A logo in the footer proves nothing. The licence number and company name must appear on the regulator's own register, with the same domain.
Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and search it on the regulator's public register. Some regulators publish no searchable register; then ask support for the certificate.
