Cons

• No direct fiat deposits, only third-party on-ramps

Availability: Germany: YES, Austria: YES, USA: YES. worldpokerdeals.com lists Austria, Germany and 'United States and its territories' among 20 restricted entries; Cloudbet blocks 'anyone physically located in these countries'. CryptoSlate restricted list also includes USA, Germany, Austria.

Cloudbet is the oldest operator in our comparison, live since 2013, and the one with the lowest welcome wagering: 1x the deposit on a package of cash drops and rakeback worth up to $2,500. It holds Curaçao licence OGL/2024/328/0599, granted in May 2025, accepts 15 cryptocurrencies and runs provably fair originals alongside a 2,850-game casino and a sportsbook. Weaknesses are a smaller library than its top-ten peers, no direct fiat deposits, withdrawal fees that are not published, and a withdrawal time quoted as 24 hours by one source and 1-5 days by another. Cloudbet blocks the USA, Germany and Austria.

Licence and ownership

Cloudbet is operated by Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., registered in Curaçao under number 148526. Certain payments are processed by Solas Technologies Limited in Cyprus. The current licence is OGL/2024/328/0599 from the Curaçao Gaming Authority, granted on 23 May 2025. An earlier Montenegro licence (02/01-118/4) is no longer displayed, and an affiliate listing still cites the retired 1668/JAZ sublicence; neither is current.

No regulatory actions or public disputes surfaced in 2024-2026 searches. The brand launched in 2013, which qualifies it for the pre-2016 trust bonus in our scoring. Its restricted list, published through a third-party guide, includes Austria, Germany and the United States and its territories among 20 entries, and Cloudbet states it blocks anyone physically located in those countries. Location is checked at registration and again at withdrawal. More on what a Curaçao OGL licence means on the licences page.

Bonus terms in detail

Cloudbet does not run a classic deposit match. The welcome package, worth up to $2,500, is paid as daily casino cash drops, 10% rakeback, weekly sports cash drops and cash vault rewards over 30 days. Wagering on the welcome rewards is 1x the deposit. That makes it the cheapest welcome offer to convert in our data: a $100 deposit needs $100 of turnover, against $4,000 at BitStarz (40x bonus on a 100% match) or $12,000 at Stake (40x deposit plus bonus on a 200% match).

The trade-off is that rewards accrue over 30 days according to your activity rather than arriving as a lump sum, so the $2,500 ceiling is a maximum for high-volume play, not a typical outcome. Max bet, game weighting and the exact drop schedule are not documented. No no-deposit bonus exists. Rakeback is paid on wagers, which means it is a partial refund of the house edge rather than free money. The bonuses page compares rakeback models with deposit matches.

Crypto payments

Cloudbet accepts BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, TRX, BNB, PAX, XRP, SOL, SHIB, LTC, BCH, ADA, DOGE and DASH, 15 coins in total and the second-widest list among the originals after Stake. There are no direct fiat deposits; crypto can be bought through MoonPay or Swapped with Visa or Mastercard, which adds a third-party fee and a verification step outside the casino.

Withdrawal time is the main inconsistency: one source lists a 24-hour payout time, another’s information table says 1-5 days. We report both and score on the slower figure. Withdrawal fees vary by cryptocurrency and the amounts are not published. The minimum deposit is not documented. KYC is on request; the operator has verification requirements at registration and a KYC policy, but specifics are not published, beyond the location check at registration and withdrawal. Coin-level comparisons are on the Litecoin casinos page.

Games and providers

The casino holds 2,850 games from Play’n GO, Playtech, Pragmatic Play, Evolution, Relax Gaming, Hacksaw Gaming, NetEnt and Yggdrasil. That is the smallest library in the top ten by a wide margin (BitStarz 8,245+, Stake 6,000+, Sportsbet.io 6,142). Cloudbet compensates with in-house originals that carry a fairness verifier, a live casino, and a sportsbook that has been its core product since 2013. Provably fair status is documented for the originals.

For a casino-first player the library is the main reason to look elsewhere; for a sports-first player it is a secondary feature on a book that has run for twelve years. The provably fair originals are relevant to both: a fairness verifier lets you check each result against a published seed, which the third-party slot catalogue does not offer. How that verification works is on the provably fair page. Live dealer tables from Evolution are included, and game weighting for the welcome rewards is not published, so whether live play counts toward the 1x deposit requirement is not documented.

Support and languages

Support channels are live chat, email (support@cloudbet.com, up to 24 hours), a help centre and a Telegram channel. Hours for live chat are not stated as 24/7 in the fetched sources. The interface is available in 15 languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, Turkish, Swedish, Hungarian, Polish, Vietnamese and Thai.

Before you deposit at Cloudbet

• Bring crypto, not cards. No fiat deposits. Buying through MoonPay or Swapped means a third party’s fee and KYC.
• Understand the 30-day structure. The $2,500 is a ceiling on rewards earned over a month of play, not an up-front credit.
• Ask about fees. Withdrawal fees vary by coin and are not published. Ask support for the current figure on the coin you use.
• Plan for up to 5 days. Payout time is quoted as 24 hours or 1-5 days depending on the source.
• Country check. The USA, Germany and Austria are among 20 restricted entries, and location is verified at withdrawal as well as signup.

How Cloudbet compares

The natural comparison is Sportsbet.io, the other sportsbook-first Curaçao operator in the top ten. Sportsbet.io launched three years later (2016), accepts fiat directly, pays the network fee on withdrawals, publishes a 10 USDT minimum and quotes payouts in minutes, with a casino library more than twice the size (6,142 versus 2,850). Cloudbet has four more coins (15 versus 11), a far cheaper welcome offer (1x deposit versus 40x bonus) and provably fair originals. For a sports bettor who values the cashier, Sportsbet.io’s documented terms are stronger; for one who wants rewards without turnover obligations, Cloudbet’s structure is unique in the set.

Against the rakeback-only operators (Jack.com at 0x, Thrill at 0x, Winna at 1x), Cloudbet is the one with the longest history and a Curaçao rather than Anjouan or Tobique licence, and the only one of the four that also pays a defined welcome package rather than ongoing rakeback alone. Against BitStarz at the top of the ranking, Cloudbet trades a third of the library and documented instant fee-free withdrawals for the lowest wagering in the comparison.

What the 1x structure means in practice

Rakeback returns a share of the house edge on each bet; 10% rakeback on a slot with a 4% edge returns 0.4% of turnover. Cash drops are periodic credits tied to activity. Vault rewards accumulate and release on a schedule. None of these is money you receive before playing, which is the difference from a deposit match. The practical effect is that Cloudbet rewards consistent play over 30 days and gives little to a one-off deposit. The 1x deposit wagering applies to the rewards; the operator does not document any additional playthrough on the deposit itself, unlike Bets.io (3x) or Thunderpick (1x). Rakeback also stacks with the house edge rather than replacing it: over enough turnover, the expected result is still a loss, just a smaller one.

Score breakdown

• Trust 8.0/10. Curaçao licence caps at 7.5; plus 0.5 for the 2013 launch. No documented incidents. Licence number, operator and registration number published.
• Payments 8.0/10. 15 coins is strong. Deductions for no fiat, unpublished fees, undocumented minimum and the 24-hour versus 1-5 day conflict.
• Bonus 7.5/10. 1x deposit wagering is the best in the set. Deductions because the drop schedule, max bet and weighting are not published and the ceiling requires high volume.
• Games 7.5/10. 2,850 games from eight named providers, provably fair originals, live casino and sportsbook. Smallest library in the top ten.
• Support 7.5/10. Chat, email, help centre, Telegram, 15 languages. 24/7 availability not documented.

Verdict

Cloudbet is the choice for players who have done the wagering maths and want out of it. 1x deposit on a rakeback-and-cash-drop package costs almost nothing to clear, and twelve years of operation under a published Curaçao licence is as good a track record as this market offers. The reasons it ranks fourth rather than first are concrete: a library a third the size of BitStarz’s, no fiat on-ramp, and payment terms (fees, speed, minimum) that are less documented than they should be for a brand this established. See where it sits on the best crypto casinos ranking.

Responsible gambling: rakeback rewards activity, which can nudge you to bet more than planned. Decide the stake size first and let the rakeback be a by-product. Gambling is for adults only.
