Cloudbet has been paying players out since 2013. Twelve years is a long time in a category where operators routinely disappear inside eighteen months, and that runtime alone is worth more than most reviewers credit it with. Operated by Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. under Curaçao GCA licence OGL/2024/328/0599, official global sportsbook of the Professional Fighters League and Karate Combat, and the new Welcome Package pays out real cash up to $2,500 with no rollover.
Last updated 25 April 2026
Our verdict
Cloudbet launched in 2013. In this category that's an eternity — most crypto operators don't make it past eighteen months. The runtime buys you something the younger operators simply can't match yet: the lowest dispute volume in the crypto-native category on AskGamblers, a Welcome Package that pays in real cash instead of locking you into 40x rollover, and the broadest crypto support of any operator on this list (30+ assets across multi-chain routing). Mainstream sponsorship of PFL and Karate Combat puts Cloudbet's branding on televised cage events — those rights-holders run their own counterparty diligence, and they don't co-brand with operators that look sketchy. The compromises are real but smaller than they used to be. The Cloudbet Originals catalogue (14 in-house games) is thinner than Stake's 31. The promotional cadence is quieter than BC.Game. The UX got a major refresh in 2025 but still has occasional rough edges. This is the operator you pick when 'will pay out, won't dispute' matters more than 'has $100k daily race prizes'. Worth opening for regular, high-volume play where trust compounds harder than any reload bonus.

Bonuses & promotions
Cloudbet rebuilt the welcome offer in 2025 and the new version is structurally different from the category norm. There's no rollover requirement. There's no bonus-money-vs-real-money split that locks you into 40x turnover before you can withdraw. What you get is up to $2,500 in real cash spread across the first 30 days, paid in instalments as you actually play. It's the first welcome offer in this space I've seen in five years that you can withdraw on Day 1 if the spirit takes you.
Welcome Package landing — three-step structure with the Cash Vault as the Day 30 payoutCaptured 2026-04-28
Every casino bet from Day 1 earns 10% rakeback. Part of it hits your wallet instantly. The rest unlocks daily through the Rewards Calendar, so there's always something to claim when you log in. On top of that, daily casino cash drops Monday through Sunday, weekly sports cash drops on Fridays, and a Cash Vault that grows alongside your wagered total and pays out in full at Day 30. Compared to the old model where bonus money was locked behind a single rollover gate, this is a real structural shift. The marketing pitch happens to be true here.
Comparison Cloudbet publishes — Other Sites vs Cloudbet on the same pageCaptured 2026-04-28First 30 days mechanics — daily drops + Friday sports drops + Cash Vault on Day 30Captured 2026-04-28
Once you've cleared Day 30, you graduate into Cloudbet Rewards. Eight tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond, Blue Diamond — and intra-tier level-up rewards inside each one too. The headline mechanic is Turbo Boosted Rakeback: with TURBO active, every casino bet earns up to 25% rakeback. The Blue Diamond Windfall stretches up to $9.97M cumulative for the genuinely deep grinders. Most reviewers don't bother with this tier of detail because most readers won't get there. The accurate read is that Cloudbet's loyalty economics are strong if you stay long enough to see them.
Concurrent tournaments stack on top of all of that. On capture we had ELA Multiplier Rush ($15,900 pool), Winfinity Live Race ($20,000), and Race to Olympus ($10,000) running simultaneously, all with public leaderboards. The scale is well below Stake's $100k daily race, and it's worth being honest about that. Cloudbet stacks tournaments on top of the Welcome Package rather than as the headline, which is a different philosophy — and the right one for players who want stable rewards rather than a high-variance race against a dozen bigger bankrolls.

Game library
Game count is meaningfully larger than older summaries credit Cloudbet with. Their own category aggregations on capture: 1,394 slots, 14 Cloudbet Originals, 335 live dealer tables, 31 high-roller titles, 179 new releases. The RNG side adds 22 blackjack variants, 16 roulette variants, 8 baccarat, 54 arcade & crash, 23 jackpot slots, 11 bingo & keno, 17 video poker, plus 46 table games. Live casino splits into 98 live blackjack tables, 91 live roulette, 65 live baccarat, 47 live game shows, 27 high-roller live and 8 live poker. That's a real catalogue, not a marketing claim.
Casino lobby — ten top-level category tabs, Popular games rail with live game tilesCaptured 2026-04-28
Slots run via 74 enabled studios — the deepest provider stack in the crypto-native category and one of the strongest single arguments for picking Cloudbet over a smaller competitor. Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Hacksaw Gaming, Nolimit City, Play'n GO, Big Time Gaming, Push Gaming, Quickspin, Wazdan, Relax Gaming, Red Tiger, Playtech, BGaming, Authentic Gaming and ELA Games / Winfinity (the studios running the on-capture tournament pools) all sit alongside 58 smaller imprints. The casino dashboard publishes Withdrawal Highlights — $1.02M largest 24h withdrawal, 962K total 24h volume — right next to the game tiles. That's a public trust signal almost no other operator in this category publishes, and it tells you what kind of money is actually moving through the platform.

Live Casino is the area where Cloudbet matches the larger operators head-on. Evolution Gaming powers the headline tables — Live Blackjack, Roulette Lobby, Baccarat Lobby, Las Vegas Roulette, Oceania VIP Blackjack, Limitless Blackjack, Caribbean Stud — and that's the same product you'd get on a UKGC operator, just without the licensing friction. Authentic Gaming fills the second tier (Bar Instant Blackjack, Top Card, Monaco Blackjack, Tao Yuan Baccarat, Venice Instant Roulette, Bigbang Roulette) and Winfinity supplies the high-volatility instant variants (XBall, Le Rouge Blackjack, Royal Blackjack, Shangrila Baccarat, VIP Auto Roulette) for players who want faster cycles than dealer-paced live tables can offer.

Cloudbet Originals is the leaner of the two big in-house catalogues in this category. Fourteen titles on capture: Mines (96% RTP), Dice (99%), Roulette, Baccarat, Keno, Plinko, Pump, Limbo (96%), Advanced Dice, Diamonds, Wheel and three rotation slots. Stake runs 31. That's the gap. What closes the gap is verification rigour — Cloudbet publishes a Provably Fair Calculator that lets you recompute any round from server seed plus client seed plus nonce, exactly the same cryptographic primitive Stake exposes. The catalogue is smaller. The verification is matched.
Sportsbook is the area Cloudbet has historically out-paged the casino-first operators on. Soccer leads the headline ribbon — UEFA Champions League knockouts, Europa League, Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A all surface immediately, not buried two clicks deep. Basketball, tennis, baseball, American football, ice hockey, MMA, cricket and NCAA all sit in the main menu. The Sharpest Bettors leaderboard runs in the right rail with names and rolling percentages exposed — a public-data signal almost no other operator publishes.
Esports has been a co-equal vertical since the Karate Combat sponsorship era, not a sub-menu. Dota 2 covers DreamLeague down to Division 2 on the depth side. Counter-Strike was running BC Game Masters during our capture. League of Legends, Valorant, FIFA, Call of Duty, NBA2K, Rocket League, Rainbow Six and Overwatch all run with their own in-play strips. For Tier-2 esports specifically, Thunderpick is still deeper — they're built esports-first. But Cloudbet covers the headline stack with sharper lines than most competitors and you don't need a second account if you're not chasing tournament-side niche markets.

Crypto support & payouts
Thirty-plus cryptocurrencies, each routed across whichever networks the chain itself offers. USDT runs on TON, TRON, Polygon, Solana, Avalanche, Ethereum and BSC at the same time — pick whichever has the lowest gas at the moment of withdrawal. USDC on six networks. SOL via Solana and BSC. Lightning Network supported on BTC for sub-cent withdrawal fees. The full Supported Cryptocurrencies page lists BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, USDT, USDC, DAI, DOGE, SOL, XRP, TRX, BNB, AVAX, ADA, LINK, DASH, HBAR, stETH, USDP, DOT, POL, SHIB, XLM, TON, ZEC, PAXG, ALGO — the broadest crypto support of any operator on this list.
Supported cryptocurrencies page — every asset tagged with chain options, sortable and searchableCaptured 2026-04-28
Withdrawal speed is the standout operational signal here. Cloudbet publishes a Withdrawal Highlights widget on the casino dashboard with real-time 24-hour, total-volume and lifetime numbers. Their stated SLA is 90% of withdrawals complete in under two minutes. Minimum deposit is $0.10 equivalent, which means funding a $5 test withdrawal before committing real bankroll is a genuinely practical option — most operators set the floor too high to allow that.
The no-KYC philosophy has held continuously since 2013, which is the part that actually matters. Anyone can write 'no-KYC' on a marketing page; an operator that's done it for twelve straight years through several regulatory cycles has earned the credibility. Withdrawals up to a published daily limit are instant with no verification needed. Lift the limit by verifying the account, which takes under a minute. Self-set deposit limits, Ghost Mode, Cool-off and Self-Exclude are all available as standard responsible-play tools.
Trust & transparency
Twelve-plus years of continuous operation, paying out throughout. The operating company is Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., Curaçao Company Number 148526, registered at Abraham Mendez Chumaceiro Boulevard 03, Willemstad, Curaçao. Payments are handled by a wholly-owned subsidiary, Solas Technologies Limited (25 Voukourestiou Street, 3045 Limassol, Cyprus). The Curaçao Gaming Authority licence number is OGL/2024/328/0599 and it's verifiable on the regulator's own site, not just claimed in the operator's footer. That level of legal-entity disclosure is rare in the crypto-native category — most competitors make you dig.
AskGamblers' player rating sits in the 8.x range. Complaint volume is meaningfully lower than Stake's 289-review database, which is partly a size function and partly a discipline function. The pattern, when complaints do appear, leans toward bonus-clarity questions on the older promo structure rather than payout denials. That's the quieter category of complaint to have.
The mainstream sponsorship list is the strongest indirect trust signal in the review. Cloudbet is the official global sportsbook of the Professional Fighters League and Karate Combat. Both rights-holders put Cloudbet branding on televised cage and ring placements during live events. Mainstream sports-rights-holders run their own counterparty diligence — an operator with a sketchy payout pattern does not get to co-brand with PFL main events. The PFL contract is independent third-party validation that paid audits can't replicate.
Support & UX
24/7 live chat plus email. Response times are reasonable, the dispute-channel data shows the function works, just with less VIP-host theatre than Stake. Cloudbet localises into 17 languages — English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Swedish, Hungarian, Turkish, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Romanian, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian — which is broader localisation than any other operator on this list.
The 2025 product refresh meaningfully closed the UX gap with the casino-first operators. The lobby is denser than it used to be. The live-table tiling is properly Evolution-grade now. The sportsbook in-play strip is fast. There's still no dedicated mobile app — Cloudbet stays web-first because getting a crypto-casino app through Apple's review cycle is its own ordeal — but the responsive build is closer to category-leading than the older one was.
Privacy primitives are built into the product, not bolted on. Ghost Mode hides your username from the live activity feed and your profile from other players, which matters more than people think when you're winning. Cinema Mode strips the surrounding UI for distraction-free play. The Responsible Gambling settings ship with deposit limits (daily, weekly, monthly), Cool-off (24 hours to 3 months) and Self-Exclude (1 month to lifetime). All standard, all functional, all easy to find in account settings.
Frequently asked questions
Is Cloudbet legit?+
Yes, and more so than almost any competitor in this category. 12+ years of continuous operation since 2013, openly licensed by the Curaçao Gaming Authority under OGL/2024/328/0599 (verifiable on the regulator's site, not just claimed in the footer), operated by Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. with the registered address publicly disclosed. Mainstream sponsorship of PFL and Karate Combat is independent third-party validation that paid audits can't replicate. The lowest dispute volume in the crypto-native category on AskGamblers is the corroborating data point.
How does Cloudbet compare to Stake?+
Stake is newer, larger, more promotionally aggressive on raw headline numbers, and has a deeper Originals catalogue (31 vs Cloudbet's 14). Cloudbet is older, has a quieter promo cadence but a structurally better welcome (real cash, no rollover, vs Stake's effectively-no-welcome model), a broader live-casino provider mix beyond Evolution-only, and the lowest dispute volume in the category. The right answer depends on what you value. Bonus theatre and originals depth — Stake. Payout discipline, all-cash welcome and broader localisation — Cloudbet. Both are legitimate operators. Both pay out. The choice is preference, not safety.
Does Cloudbet require KYC?+
Not by default. Withdrawals up to a published daily limit are instant with no verification needed. If you want to remove the limit, you verify the account in under a minute. The 12-year track record of honouring the no-KYC policy is the actual trust signal here — anyone can write 'no-KYC' on a marketing page, but Cloudbet has held the policy through several regulatory cycles since 2013. Time has passed. The policy has held.
What's the Cloudbet welcome package in 2026?+
Up to $2,500 in real cash across the first 30 days. No rollover requirement. Day 1 unlocks 10% casino rakeback that splits between instant-to-wallet and the daily Rewards Calendar. Daily casino cash drops Monday through Sunday. Weekly sports cash drops every Friday. Day 30 unlocks the Cash Vault, which grows with your wagered total and pays out in full. After Day 30 you graduate into Cloudbet Rewards: Turbo Boosted Rakeback up to 25% on every casino bet with TURBO active, Level-Up cash payouts at every tier crossing, and the Blue Diamond Windfall scaling up to $9.97M cumulative for the deepest grinders.
Is the sportsbook actually worth using?+
Yes. Cloudbet is one of the better books in the crypto-native category for traditional sports. Soccer is the headline — UEFA Champions League and Europa League knockouts, plus Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A all surfaced on the front page. MMA matters here too; the PFL sponsorship is more than logo placement, limits hold longer than mainstream books on PFL events specifically. Tennis, basketball, baseball, NCAA, cricket, ice hockey all available. Esports runs as a co-equal vertical with Dota 2, CS, LoL, FIFA, Valorant, Call of Duty, NBA2K, Rocket League, R6 and Overwatch. For Tier-2 esports specifically, Thunderpick is still deeper.
How fast are Cloudbet withdrawals actually?+
The published SLA is 90% of standard withdrawals complete in under two minutes, and Cloudbet publishes a real-time Withdrawal Highlights widget on the casino dashboard so you can see the actual 24-hour numbers — largest withdrawal, total volume, lifetime totals. That kind of transparency is rare. Minimum deposit is $0.10 equivalent, so funding a $5 test withdrawal before committing real bankroll is a practical option, not a theoretical one.
