888starz does not hold ownership of, nor exercise management authority over, companies separately licensed by the Curaçao Gaming Control Board or any other regulatory authority. The brand operates independently and maintains no financial interest, managerial role, or controlling stake in third-party licensed entities that may share similar naming conventions or brand-style identifiers. As a consequence, 888starz holds no capacity to influence the operational or governance decisions of those companies, and accepts no responsibility for their conduct, regulatory breaches, or user-related disputes. Any claims or concerns arising from the activities of separately licensed companies must be directed to the relevant licensed entity or to the applicable regulatory authority.

A digital licence verification system is available, allowing users to confirm the current regulatory status and authenticity of the 888starz licence directly through the issuing authority’s official channels. This tool functions as a real-status check mechanism, enabling users in Sri Lanka and other permitted territories to validate that the platform’s gaming licence remains active and in good standing. All verification materials, including seals, status indicators, imagery, and associated texts, are the intellectual property of the Curaçao Gaming Control Board and are protected under applicable copyright law. Third-party use of these materials for commercial purposes, promotional activity, or any other unauthorised application is strictly prohibited, and violations may result in regulatory penalties or legal proceedings initiated by the rights holder.

All trademarks, logos, service marks, and commercial identifiers displayed on the 888starz website and applications are protected assets belonging to the licence holder or the relevant regulatory authority, as applicable. Ownership of these identifiers extends beyond formally registered trademarks and domain names to encompass all brand-style elements, including visual design components, colour schemes, and proprietary graphics that form part of the platform’s recognised identity. Unauthorised reproduction, imitation, distribution, or commercial use of any protected brand element is strictly forbidden, and infringement may expose the responsible party to civil or criminal legal liability under applicable intellectual property law.
