Cloudbet Casino: Our Independent Analysis

Cloudbet is one of the oldest crypto casinos still trading, live since 2013 and run by Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. under Curaçao Gaming Authority licence OGL/2024/328/0599. This review was verified on 29 September 2026 against the operator’s terms, help centre and promotions pages. Irish players are not on the restricted list, but the cashier works in crypto, with euro entering only through card or wallet purchases via Swapped. We look at the 30-day Welcome Package worth up to roughly €2,150, a lobby of more than 3,000 games, and the verification threshold that decides how quickly your first large withdrawal clears. Fees and limits are set out in a table so you can compare them with euro-based sites.

Cloudbet does not run a classic matched deposit bonus. The Welcome Package is a 30-day calendar of cash drops, rakeback and a vault, worth up to $2,500 in total, or roughly €2,150 at current rates. It activates automatically with your first deposit, and no code is needed.

How the Welcome Package works

Casino play earns 10% rakeback on the house edge from day one. Part of that lands in your wallet straight away; the rest sits on the Rewards Calendar and unlocks day by day. Daily casino cash drops follow the same rhythm: bet today, claim tomorrow. On day 30, or earlier if it maxes out, the Cash Vault opens and pays its balance in cash.

Sports bettors get weekly drops instead, released each Friday at 00:00 UTC and expiring seven days later.

Wagering and the catch

The rewards themselves are paid as cash, so there is no rollover on them. What the terms do require is a 100% playthrough of your deposit before you withdraw, which is a 1x requirement and a modest one by offshore standards. The real catch is the clock. Calendar instalments must be claimed within 24 hours, and anything missed is gone, so a player who logs in twice a week will collect only a fraction of the headline figure. Independent comparisons also note that around 70% of welcome rakeback waits on the calendar rather than paying instantly.

After the first month

Once the 30 days end, accounts move into Cloudbet Rewards, the ongoing loyalty scheme built on rakeback and periodic reloads. Our team found no published tier table with fixed percentages, so treat the long-term value as variable.

The figures are quoted in dollars or USDT on the operator’s pages; any euro amount here is a conversion.

The operator advertises 3,000+ casino games, and its studio hub lists more than 75 providers. An older help article put the provider count above 100, so the number moves as studios are added and dropped.

Slots and in-house titles

Pragmatic Play carries much of the slot lobby, with Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza and Big Bass Bonanza all present. Play’n GO brings Book of Dead and Reactoonz. Playtech and BGaming fill out the rest, BGaming adding crash, Plinko and other alternative formats. Cloudbet Originals sit alongside them, and these in-house games come with a fairness calculator you can run yourself to check a round’s result against its seed.

RTP figures are set per title by each studio; slot returns typically sit around 94-97%, so check the info panel of the specific game before you play.

Live casino

The live section is where Cloudbet looks strongest. Evolution supplies the game shows, Crazy Time, Monopoly Live and Lightning Roulette among them, plus VIP and Infinite Blackjack tables. Pragmatic Play runs 24/7 tables, Ezugi covers lower stakes, and OneTouch offers minimalist tables built for phones. Winfinity adds roulette and baccarat variants such as XBall. You will find European and American roulette, standard and speed blackjack, and no-commission baccarat.

Finding your way around

Each studio has its own page in the hub, which makes it easy to go straight to a provider you know. The operator notes that availability can vary by location, so a title listed in a review may not appear in an Irish lobby. With thousands of games and filters by studio name, the search box does more work here than the homepage carousels.

Sports betting shares the same wallet.

Cloudbet has been running since 2013, which makes it one of the few brands from the early Bitcoin era still operating. Its design choices follow from that history: a crypto-only wallet, cash rewards instead of bonus balances, and a sportsbook and casino sharing one account. Below are the four features that matter most when you compare it with euro-based casinos licensed for Ireland, along with the trade-offs each one carries for an Irish player.

Our team found no native Cloudbet casino app listed for Irish users in the app stores. You play through the mobile browser, which loads the same lobby, cashier and rewards calendar as desktop.

Mobile cashier

This is where mobile matters most for payments. Crypto deposits on a phone usually mean copying an address or scanning a QR code from your wallet app, and the cashier also offers a Connect Wallet option for MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Phantom, Binance, Coinbase and Bybit. That removes the copy-and-paste step, which is where wrong-network mistakes tend to happen.

Apple Pay and Google Pay purchases run through Swapped, so they buy crypto first rather than funding your balance in euro.

Games on a small screen

The studio games are HTML5 and run in the browser without downloads. OneTouch’s live tables are built specifically for mobile, and Evolution’s game shows scale down well. The daily-claim mechanic of the Welcome Package suits a phone, since a 24-hour window is easier to catch from your pocket than from a desktop. You can add the site to your home screen for app-like access.

Cloudbet holds a licence from the Curaçao Gaming Authority, number OGL/2024/328/0599, issued to Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., company number 148526, Willemstad. The terms date it to May 2025; third-party register checks give 23 May, the terms say 27 May.

What the licence means for Ireland

Accepting players from Ireland and holding an Irish licence are two separate things. Ireland does not appear on Cloudbet’s restricted list, so Irish residents can register. The operator holds no Irish licence that we could find, and Irish consumer and gambling-regulator protections do not extend to an offshore account. Disputes go through the Curaçao framework.

Before 2025 the brand ran under Curaçao’s older sublicence system and for a period also cited a Montenegro licence; that reference no longer appears.

Some payments are processed by Solas Technologies Limited in Limassol, Cyprus, a subsidiary that is not itself a gaming licensee.

Data protection and fairness

The operator publishes no named third-party audit body for its casino lobby that we could locate, and no specific encryption standard beyond standard HTTPS on the site. Fairness assurance comes from the studios’ own certification and from the provably fair calculator on Originals. Our security score reflects the offshore licence and the missing audit name.

Cloudbet states its support runs 24/7 through live chat and email. There is no phone line.

Live chat

Chat is the faster route, with the operator quoting replies within minutes. It suits cashier questions such as a deposit sent on the wrong network or a pending verification, where you need someone to look at your account while you wait. Have the transaction hash ready, because that is the first thing an agent will ask for.

Email and help centre

Email goes to [email protected], with replies usually within a few hours according to the operator. Write from the address linked to your account, which lets the team find you without extra checks. The help centre answers most routine questions, from restricted countries to supported coins, and is the place to look before opening a chat about limits or KYC thresholds.

Cloudbet suits Irish players who already hold crypto and want cash rewards rather than locked bonus balances. The Welcome Package, worth up to around €2,150, carries only a 1x deposit playthrough, and crypto withdrawals are stated at instant to 24 hours. Data in this verdict was confirmed on 29 September 2026 from the operator’s published terms. The weaknesses are just as concrete: an offshore Curaçao licence with no Irish protections, euro payments that pass through a purchase fee, and a reward calendar that punishes missed days. Verify your ID before crossing the $2,200 deposit line and the payout side holds up well. For a casual euro player, a locally licensed site will feel simpler.
