Pros
- One of the longest continuously-operating crypto casinos, live since October 2013
- Direct Curacao licence via its own named operator, not a white-label sub-licence
- Player-friendly welcome package: real withdrawable cash, minimal 1x turnover, no bonus balance
- High betting limits, appealing to serious crypto bettors
Cons
- Curacao licence OGL/2024/328/0599 shows a term ended May 23, 2026 and is marked 'Assessment in progress' - a renewal under review rather than a confirmed licence
- Real, documented Trustpilot cluster (21% one-star) around withdrawal delays and KYC investigations on larger wins
- $2,200/day withdrawal cap for unverified accounts
- No top-tier (UKGC/MGA) licence — Curacao only
- Crypto-only, not suited to players wanting fiat/card payments
Our verdict
Cloudbet is one of the original Bitcoin-era gambling brands, taking its first wager in October 2013 and still operating today under a direct Curacao Gaming Authority licence (OGL/2024/328/0599) via its own named operator, Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. — a materially stronger licensing signal than many white-label Curacao brands. It offers a genuinely player-friendly welcome structure (real withdrawable cash, minimal 1x turnover, no bonus balance) and high limits attractive to serious crypto bettors. Trustpilot (2,500+ reviews) is mostly positive (69% five-star), but there's a real, documented cluster of complaints (21% one-star) around withdrawal delays and KYC 'integrity' checks specifically triggered by larger wins. If you're a crypto bettor comfortable with eventual identity verification on bigger cashouts, Cloudbet is one of the more credible, longest-running options in the crypto-casino space.
How we rated it
Bonuses & value (15%)8
Notably player-friendly structure: no bonus-balance or wagering multiplier, just real withdrawable cash with a 1x deposit turnover before first withdrawal — up to $2,500 or 5 BTC via rakeback, cash drops and Cash Vault.
Trust & licensing (20%)7.8
shows a term that ended on May 23, 2026 and is marked 'ASSESSMENT IN PROGRESS' on the Curacao Gaming Authority's register of 15 July 2026. That is a renewal under review, not a revocation and not a confirmed licence - so it neither earns credit nor justifies treating the operator as unlicensed. Curacao licence OGL/2024/328/0599, held by Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., shows a term that ended May 23, 2026 and is marked "Assessment in progress" - a renewal under review, which neither earns credit nor justifies treating the operator as unlicensed.
Sportsbook & casino (25%)7.5
Broad sports, esports and casino coverage built specifically for crypto users (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and more), high betting limits appealing to serious bettors.
Mobile & UX (10%)7.3
Feature-rich desktop interface with extensive game filtering (High roller, Feature buy, High RTP, etc.), built for a crypto-native, often high-stakes audience.
Customer support (10%)6.8
Generally responsive per most reviews, though KYC-triggered investigations after larger wins are a recurring friction point in negative reviews.
Payments & payouts (20%)6.3
Fast crypto deposits/withdrawals for most users, but a real, recurring cluster of Trustpilot complaints (21% one-star) about delayed payouts and 'betting integrity' KYC investigations triggered on larger wins; $2,200/day cap for unverified accounts.

About Cloudbet
Cloudbet is a crypto-only sportsbook and casino that took its first wager in October 2013, making it one of the original Bitcoin-era gambling brands still operating today. It's run by Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., a Curacao-registered company holding a direct Curacao Gaming Authority licence (OGL/2024/328/0599, granted May 2025) — not a white-label sub-licence — a real trust signal in a market where many crypto casinos operate under shared licences. Cloudbet supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and other cryptocurrencies across sports, esports and casino betting, and offers a notably player-friendly welcome package structured as real withdrawable cash rather than a wagering-locked bonus balance. Trustpilot rates it 3.6-3.9/5 from 2,500+ reviews — mostly positive, but with a real, recurring cluster of complaints about withdrawal delays and KYC 'betting integrity' investigations triggered by larger wins.
Cloudbet FAQ
What is this site's Curacao licence status?
Licence OGL/2024/328/0599, held by Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., issued November 23, 2025, expiry May 23, 2026. The Curacao Gaming Authority's register last updated 15 July 2026 records it as 'Assessment in progress'. Reading the register: Curacao issues many licences on six-month terms, and a lapsed term does not mean an operator is unlicensed - the register's STATUS column marks most of those 'Assessment in progress', meaning a renewal is being worked through. Some entries carry no end date at all and are recorded as indefinite. Judging by the dates alone, in either direction, gets it wrong. We are stating this precisely because we got it wrong earlier today: a parsing error made us attach another company's licence data to several brands, including telling readers that six operators held expired licences. None of the brands we checked is marked Expired. That claim has been removed and the scores restored.
Is Cloudbet safe and legit?
Yes, with real caveats. Cloudbet holds a direct Curacao Gaming Authority licence (OGL/2024/328/0599) via its own named operator and has operated continuously since 2013 — strong legitimacy signals. However, Trustpilot shows a real cluster of complaints about withdrawal delays and KYC checks triggered by larger wins.
What is the Cloudbet welcome bonus?
Up to $2,500 (or 5 BTC) delivered as real withdrawable cash via rakeback, daily cash drops and a Cash Vault — no bonus balance and no wagering multiplier, just a 1x deposit turnover before your first withdrawal. The package runs 30 days with up to 60 days to release the full amount.
Does Cloudbet have withdrawal problems?
Most users report fast crypto payouts, but there's a real, recurring pattern (about 21% of Trustpilot reviews) describing delayed withdrawals and 'betting integrity' KYC investigations specifically triggered by larger wins. Unverified accounts also face a $2,200/day withdrawal cap.
Who owns Cloudbet?
Cloudbet is operated by Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., a Curacao-registered company (148526) holding its own direct Curacao Gaming Authority licence rather than operating under a shared white-label licence.
Does Cloudbet accept only cryptocurrency?
Yes — Cloudbet is a crypto-only sportsbook and casino, supporting Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and other cryptocurrencies for both sports betting and casino games.
