CloudBet Casino
CloudBet Casino now offers deposits in bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Tether (USDT). They started as a bitcoin-only casino, so these additions are welcomed.
CloudBet.com is a sportsbook and casino that was established as Bitcoin was in the midst of its growth spurt in 2013. It is licensed in the Balkan country of Montenegro, but since it doesn’t accept conventional currencies, there are no borders as far as players are concerned – anyone from any country can play at CloudBet with bitcoin.
CloudBet Crypto Deposit & Withdrawal Options
BTC, ETH, BCH, and USDT transactions at CloudBet are easy and probably safer than even most bitcoin casinos. Registration is just a matter of providing a name and email address.
To deposit, you just click the Deposit button on your account page and CloudBet generates an address, which you copy into your personal bitcoin wallet. There is also a QR code option for users of mobile devices.
Players can send as many bitcoins as they like. The values can of course change, but the minimum deposit is only .001 BTC.
Cloudbet puts all deposits in “cold storage” for extra security. They have separate storage for day-to-day withdrawals. If you want even more security, you can take advantage of CloudBet’s 2-Step Authentication, which adds steps to the process, and involves a 6-digit code sent to your mobile phone via SMS.
CloudBet also promises speed with each deposit. “If you do not see your deposit credited to your account within a few seconds,” the website states, “please contact our support team at [email protected] with details of your transaction.” They apparently are good to their word on that; we’ve found no complaints about ease or speed of deposits.
Withdrawals simply work in reverse of deposits, a very simple process.
The least you can withdraw is .001 BTC, and you can withdraw as much as you have. Withdrawals should also be fast, with the exception of particularly large amounts, which will require extra verification.
There are no deposit or withdrawal fees from CloudBet, however, your personal wallet may charge a fee.
CloudBet Casino Bonus & Special Promotions
Again, simplicity is the rule with CloudBet’s bonus – they offer one bonus. But what is more difficult is the formula for qualifying to withdraw any of that bonus.
The bonus is up front and generous – a 100% match for up to 5 BTC, with the minimum deposit being .01 BTC (to qualify for earning bonus). But rather than having a more common rollover rate involving play-through multiples of your bonus, they employ a points system.
The formula is this: points = stake (in mBTC) x game score. The game score is the points value of the game you play. Each game is assigned a game score value, with slots games generally offering the highest value, and other games counting 50% or less of that value. The example they give is, The Slotfather earns 0.345 points, Live Roulette earns 0.216 points, and European Blackjack earns 0.049 points. You must earn at least 800 points to withdraw the first .01 BTC of your deposit.
Clear as day, right?
Game Selection & Casino Software
CloudBet Casino has a relatively small but nice suite of games (253 in total). Most of them from the Betsoft software provider, and players can try them out for free before registering.
They offer 210 slot games with a variety of 3- and 5-reel games, multiple paylines, and fun themes. Titles such as Gladiator, At The Movies, Lucky 7, and Fruit Zen, give you an idea of the variety. Although they do not show total pots in the initial display they do have jackpot games with big potential, such as Mr. Vegas, The Slotfather, and Mega Gems.
CloudBet’s selection of more than 20 table games include various versions of blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, and Caribbean poker.
There are also nearly 30 video poker games, including Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better, and Joker Poker. Players will also find bingo, keno and scratch cards.
The minimum bets are as low as .00002 BTC.
If you want to play for higher stakes, you can go over to the CloudBet.com live casino, where they advertise 65 tables of blackjack, roulette, baccarat. The minimum wagers there are between .001 and .005 BTC.
Many of the slots and table games are also available in a mobile version, and they run smoothly on Apple iPhone, Android, and tablets.
Provably Fair Games
CloudBet does not stress the provably fair games angle that helps attract bitcoin players to casinos. But they do emphasize fair games. They use random number generators in their games, citing certification by Gaming Laboratories International and issued through Curaçao eGaming.
CloudBet Customer Support
At the bottom, right of each page, there is a livechat button for instant customer support. They also offer 24/7 email support where they strive for – but do not promise – response within 24 hours. They got back to us within a day when we submitted a question.
