Cloudbet

Cloudbet launched way back in 2013 and has gone from strength to strength. It’s now seen as one of the best bitcoin casinos and sportsbooks in the world. Cloudbet has loads of amazing promotions, more games than you can shake a stick at and decent customer support, creating a truly exciting experience.

You’re pretty spoilt for choice at Cloudbet, making it one of our top picks for bitcoin casinos that are well worth checking out and signing up to!

User Interface

Cloudbet is a slightly busier bitcoin casino, in terms of user experience. It feels a touch cluttered, but that being said, finding the right game for you is actually pretty simple. You can filter games by providers, themes and types, which is pretty par for the course.

If you prefer a slightly brighter screen, you can toggle bright mode on by clicking on your profile in the top right-hand corner. Although, we prefer the dark mode over the light mode, so we tend to leave it in dark mode, but that’s our personal preference.

Slots load well and quickly on all devices, although some games do look out of place on mobile devices. For the most part, all games work well across all devices, with live dealer games even automatically reducing the stream quality depending on your network connection, which is a life saver if you’ve got a data cap on your mobile plan.

Most games remain in your cryptocurrency of choice, but a few do show your balance in a fiat currency. This is a bit frustrating as a crypto casino player, but for newcomers to the bitcoin casino world, it’s a nice way to transition.

There is a pretty good sportsbook available, and you can use the sportsbook directly from your casino account, meaning you don’t need two separate accounts like you do with other casinos/sportsbooks. The odds are some of the best around, and there will often be odds boosts as well.

It’s worth noting that if you’re using any sort of ad-blocking or script-blocking software, that some games may not work, so you’ll have to disable them. If you’re using Brave, you’ll need to turn shields off.

Bonuses

Bonuses make the world go around, and, boy, does Cloudbet know this. When you sign up at Cloudbet, you’ll be able to get a 100% matched deposit up to 5₿. This is well worth noting before you sign up, as a lot of people tend to make a smaller first deposit to test the waters.

So, our best advice is that if you are going to join Cloudbet, you make your first deposit a hefty one so that you can get as much of that 5₿ as possible. Although, it’s worth noting that you won’t get it all in one go. For bitcoin deposits, you’ll get 0.01₿ added to your account for every 800 loyalty points you collect.

When you play bitcoin casino games at Cloudbet, the loyalty points are worked out as Loyalty Points = Converted Stake x 0.008 x (100-RTP). You do have 1 whole year (365 days) to collect enough points to get that 5₿ bonus, but it’s a bit cheeky that it’s locked away behind months of play.

Other bitcoin casinos, such as bitStarz, give you a 5₿ bonus over your first four deposits, no questions asked. With that in mind, the welcome bonus at Cloudbet isn’t that great if you like instant bonus money. But, if you’re happy to get a little bit of free bitcoin every now and then, it’s a good deal.

Promotions

Cloudbet isn’t shy in the promotions department, often rocking new and massive promotions that you can get stuck into. On Mondays you can get a 50% reload bonus up to 25m₿, which is a decent amount. On Thursdays you can collect another 50% reload bonus up to 50m₿, which is a great way to get ready for the weekend.

Other than those promotions, you’ll find plenty of network promotions from Spinomenal and Wazdan as well as a whole host of sportsbook promotions for those of you that enjoy a flutter on sports.

Cloudbet also hosts tournaments every now and then. These are packed full of goodies, action and excitement. So when those go live, Cloudbet is usually abuzz with activity and giveaways, making it one of the hottest bitcoin casinos around.

Slots

If you’re a slot player, you’re in for a nice treat when you sign up at Cloudbet. It’s simply teeming with the best and latest slots around. You can see all the details about each slot, such as the RTP, number of reels, paylines, volatility and bonus rounds before you launch a game, which is a nice touch.

You’ll be able to find all of these slots and more at Cloudbet:

• Goldaur Guardians
• Gonzo’s Quest
• Reactoonz 2
• Starburst
• Book of Dead
• Solar Winds
• Chicago Gold
• 6 Tokens of Gold
• Bull in a China Shop

Cloudbet has an incredible range of games and developers for you to pick from, and it’s got to be one of the best ranges that we’ve seen in a very long time. You’ll be able to find all the usual big-name developers at Cloudbet, as well as a few lesser known, which is a nice touch, especially for those of you who prefer indie games.

You’ll be able to find all of these developers at Cloudbet:

• AdoptIt
• Betsoft
• D-Tech
• Fantasma
• ELK Studios
• Genesis
• Microgaming
• NetEnt
• Play’n Go
• Red Rake
• Storm Gaming

There are obviously loads more developers, but if we listed them all we’d be here for years. Hopefully you get the point. Cloudbet has literally every bitcoin casino game developer there is going.

Table Games

Table games are great for players that love to take their time, play with smaller stakes and play some unusual variants of popular live casino games. Fortunately, Cloudbet has a pretty good range for you to pick from. You’ll find all the usual table games ready and waiting for you, but the selection is a little limited when compared with some of the other bitcoin casinos out there.

I also found that when I was testing it out for this review, that the “Real” games with recorded video and RNG action took a rather long time to load. I tested from a gigabit connection, so do bear this in mind. However, I have had similar issues at other casinos due to my browser choice (Brave).

Live Casino Games

Cloudbet really smashed the live casino section out of the park. It’s very rare that I’m blown away by a selection of games, but holy moly, Cloudbet has some amazing games.

While there are some titles that we’re not too sure about, especially you, Aladdin Baccarat, the general range is strong. Cloudbet carries just about every single live casino game from the following developers:

• Evolution
• Vivo Gaming
• Ezugi
• Authentic Gaming

There are all the game shows and live dealer games that you can imagine, so you’re never going to run out of tables and variants to try out when you’re playing at Cloudbet.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Getting bitcoin into your Cloudbet account is as easy as you’d expect it to be. Simply scan the QR code or paste your Cloudbet address into your wallet and make the transaction.

There is a minimum deposit of 0.1m₿, but that’s not a big amount at the moment. Hopefully when bitcoin’s price rises, we’ll see that value decrease in line with the price rise, otherwise depositing at Cloudbet could become rather expensive.

Deposits are credited as soon as your transaction has 1 confirmation on the blockchain, which is pretty quick for bitcoin casinos. Withdrawals are processed virtually instantly, and you’re informed of the current network transaction fee before you place your withdrawal, which is a nice touch.

There is no minimum withdrawal limit, but if you don’t have enough to cover the transaction fees, then your transaction isn’t going anywhere. That means you should take the current network fee as the minimum withdrawal amount in this case.

You can play in the following currencies at Cloudbet:

• Bitcoin
• Bitcoin Cash
• Ethereum
• Chainlink
• USDT
• USDC
• Paxos
• DAI
• PAX Gold

Support

Cloudbet has been around for a long time in the bitcoin casino world, and that’s given it plenty of opportunity to hone its customer service reps. You can contact support 24/7 via live chat. Replies are very quick, efficient and helpful.

In fact, Cloudbet is one of the few bitcoin casinos that I’ve played at in my life where the support reps have been nothing but helpful. I’ve yet to see a sloppy, lazy or snappy reply, which really shows how well trained the Cloudbet support crew are – hat’s off to you guys!

Security & Privacy

Cloudbet makes life really easy for you as a player. There is the ability to opt to sign up using your Google or Facebook accounts, or go for the traditional email approach. You can then opt to add 2FA to secure your account even further, a feature we highly recommend that you turn on.

You will need to add in your date of birth, and you could be asked to complete additional verification based on how much you’re wagering with. That being said, during my testing, I was never asked for anything more than my date of birth, which puts Cloudbet in my privacy good books.  

The Verdict

Cloudbet has been an absolute angel while we tested it out, and it’s definitely a casino, and sportsbook, that I’ll personally be playing at for a long time to come. The features are well refined, the support is top notch, there are so many games to pick from and the layout is pretty nice.

The minimum deposit shouldn’t be an issue for most players, especially if that changes as bitcoin goes up in value. There’s plenty of fun to be had at Cloudbet, so go out there and have all the fun you want!
