Bonus & VIP Offer

Welcome bonus

As Cloudbet bonus awaits you a very handsome bonus amount of up to 5 BTC .

All that was to be found in my Cloudbet test within the cashier and on the home page to the offer, are the maximum mentioned and the bonus value. The latter is supposed to be 100 percent. So you should get exactly the sum of your first deposit as bonus money – up to 5BTC!

Unlike other providers, the bonus at Cloudbet is released in the form of loyalty points. By placing sports bets and betting in the casino or live casino, you collect Loyalty Points. For every 800 Loyalty Points you earn, you will receive 0.01 BTC.

If you want to know more – and this is probably most people who have ever dealt with sports betting and bonus offers – you actually have to read the terms and conditions first. This is, of course, a clear negative point. The fact that the terms and conditions are only available in English doesn’t make things any better.

VIP & Loyalty Program

Cloudbet offers a sports betting deposit bonus of up to 5 BTC. So far, however, there is no advertised loyalty or VIP system, but according to the provider, this should change soon. Existing customers, however, can very well choose from various promotions. You can find deals for better odds, special soccer and NFL bonuses and more.

Betting offer

Unfortunately, the review of Cloudbet’s bonuses turned out to be quite mixed – which didn’t make me feel particularly confident about testing further. But this much at this point: The betting offer has actually made up for a lot.

In the sports section, you are greeted by a familiar interface. On the left, there is a selection of sports, and next to it, there is a wide range of information and betting options for currently relevant matches. During my visit, soccer and soccer games were listed centrally.

The first section is of course the most interesting for European betting fans. Clicking on it will take you to an overview of practically all the important European leagues. In Germany, you can place bets down to the Oberliga and Regionalliga – and that is by no means available at every bookie. There is also a good betting depth for the other countries. Moreover, if you want, you even have the chance to bet on games in Vietnam, Honduras and other less soccer-strong nations.

In addition to soccer, you can bet on all top sports and related events at Cloudbet, including tennis, basketball, ice hockey, volleyball and more.
eSports & other special bets

Cloudbet now makes a difference between eSports and sports. That is, you can now easily find the digital matches in a new eSports section. This is of course an advantage in terms of user-friendliness. Not least because the selection of eSports bets is very good. You’ll find all the “standards” from Counter-Strike to Dota to League of Legends. But you can also bet on NBA 2K, King of Glory and some other eSports that are not available everywhere.

Furthermore, shortly before my Cloudbet experience, a section with special virtual sports was added. Here you can bet on virtual matches on international level, for example, when there is a Bundesliga break or Corona does not allow any matches.

In addition, there are political bets to choose from. And of course, there is always something going on here as well.

Live bets

Similar to eSports, Cloudbet does not offer a main menu item for live betting. To get to the live section, you have to click on “In Play” in the sports menu.

You will now be shown all current matches in a typical overview. Almost every sport that is available in the pre-match section can also be bet on live. During my visit, I was able to bet on soccer, tennis, snooker, table tennis, beach volleyball and around ten other real and digital sports. This is where Cloudbet’s international focus particularly pays off. Because somewhere in the world, one of the major sports is almost always being played.

When you select a match, all betting options appear in the center and a virtual pitch is presented on the right side. On the latter, Cloudbet displays important events, such as points, fouls, substitutions and even detailed attacks. Below that, you can view various statistics. All this is not bad, but other betting providers are even better in terms of statistics. Live streams were only offered to me for eSports, but still. Overall, Cloudbet’s live portfolio is quite impressive.

Odds & Betting Features

Odds

The betting odds and especially their quality are undoubtedly particularly important keys to a successful, fun gaming experience. Everything you can bet on at Cloudbet is of course provided with accurate odds. Without these, betting would hardly be advantageous for you, because you would not be able to estimate the respective profit potential. Whether these odds are good or bad, however, remains hidden from you for the time being. That is, Cloudbet does not provide any information about its odds – and that is not unusual. Bookmakers like to keep quiet when it comes to the breakdown of these.

Thus, you will not find any information about the odds key at Cloudbet. However, this is very important in order to recognize whether betting at a bookie is generally worthwhile. Fortunately, you can determine it yourself quite easily.

For the check, ten games were randomly selected from the current betting offer at the time of my Cloudbet experience and the odds key was drawn from it. I determined the following ten betting odds:

83,35 / 92,16 / 70,60 / 95,67 / 89,67 / 89,68 / 94,50 / 91,30 / 92,00 / 95,21

This results in an average or odds ratio of 89.41 percent. That’s not outstanding, but not bad either.

Betting features

Basically, at Cloudbet you get to the betting quickly and easily. For example, if you want to make a soccer bet, you don’t have to click on a game first. You already have the chance to select the central betting options – in soccer 1X2 – in the overview.

At the base you will be able to make single, combination and system bets. Of course, you can then bet on much more than just the standards for the individual games. For example, goal scorer bets and various bets on halves as well as special bets are available. In soccer, you quickly get about 100 options.

In addition, you have the chance to make use of a cashout function. If you notice that your bet is unlikely to come true during an event, it is smart to make use of it in order to keep your losses low. However, cashout is not available on every game.

Cloudbet does not provide a betting configurator that allows you to make different bets on the same game.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Cloudbet is a pure crypto bookie. Therefore, you can only transact with cryptocurrencies there. For those who do not have the corresponding money, the bookmaker offers a direct solution with the option “Buy BTC” in the upper right corner. You can invest up to 10,000 euros in cryptocurrency via MoonPay. By the way, you also get the opportunity to sell cryptos right after you have won. In theory, MoonPay should also allow you to deposit money with a credit card. I have tested it and tell you below how it went.

There is no deposit limit at Cloudbet, and there is also no minimum deposit – unless you want the bonus, which – as mentioned – only applies to the casino.

A fee of 5 percent can be charged for both deposits and withdrawals. Corresponding amounts are sometimes considerable, which is a clear negative point here. Unquestionably positive is that the German betting tax 5 percent is not levied at Cloudbet. Even the fast payout for crypto sports betting is worth mentioning.

Transactions are basically possible via BTC, BCH, ETH, USDT, USDC, PAXG, DAI, PAX, LINK, DASH, DOGE, NFT and Litecoin. Funds are always credited instantly – both for deposits and withdrawals.

There is no standard KYC procedure, where your data is checked again before a withdrawal. This and the resulting particularly prompt payouts are typical for Bitcoin bookmakers and undoubtedly one of their greatest strengths.
My experience with the first deposit and the payout

To say it right up front, in my real money test, a few teething problems did show up. Of course, I wanted to test the new variant of depositing via credit card through MoonPay. After all, this promised to be the more exciting test than the classic crypto deposit.

Unfortunately, I always received the error message that the payments with the credit card would not work.

Also the communication with the support did not lead to the goal, this recommended me to set instead of credit card on the bank transfer. This was not the way I wanted to test, nevertheless I will try this now. I’ll give you an update if the bank transfer payment worked out.

Reputation & Security

Cloudbet or the company behind it, Halcyon Super Holdings, has a valid license in Curaçao. Here, similarly strict requirements are set for the regulation as for European licenses. Nevertheless, some cutbacks have to be made. However, this does not mean that all bookies licensed there are equally less reputable.

As always, I have also made myself in this test away from the bookies on the search for problem cases – and was found: At Trustpilot, there are actually various negative reports about failed payouts, which I had to check more closely. In most cases, however, the customers here have obviously violated Cloudbet’s terms and conditions. By the way, the fees for payments already mentioned above are also repeatedly criticized. These are of course really very unfavorable, but not necessarily unserious. Overall, Cloudbet has many good reviews on the web, but also some negative ones. I myself have not had any bad experiences with Cloudbet when betting or making transactions.

The SSL encryption of Cloudflare, which extends over the entire application, undoubtedly speaks for the security.

The use of Cloudbet for player protection can also be classified as serious. You can self-exclude directly from your account without contacting support. Other bookmakers offer much more here.

I noticed very positively that Cloudflare is active on Twitter and BitcoinTalk, which again is a clear sign of seriousness. If really serious problems or even fraud were to occur, customers could complain there in a very public way.

Service & Support

As is quite usual from Bitcoin bookmakers, the contact channels are also rather clear at Cloudbet. However, the most important thing is available: A chat – and it is manned around the clock. Unfortunately, the employees do not speak German or only English, which might be a high barrier for some betting fans. On the other hand, the customer service is friendly and has helped me with every question, no matter how complicated. However, I always had to wait a few minutes for feedback, which was still manageable. Alternatively, you can also get help via Twitter or the BitcoinTalk forum. Unfortunately, the blog was still empty during my visit and there was no FAQ.

Functions & Design

Cloudbet is rather nothing for the eye. This does not mean that the design is fundamentally bad – but there are simply no visual highlights. The various features of the application are positioned in front of an almost uniform purple-gray background, and important information, buttons, etc. appear in blue or orange.

Everything is well-balanced in terms of design, but designed for functionality. And the latter is also good for such a large betting offer – at least in my opinion. Orientation would probably not be made any easier with any creative bells and whistles. However, due to the simple, familiar structuring, even absolute laymen can quickly find what they are looking for, according to my impression. The creation of extra sections for live betting and eSports would not be bad in this regard, though.

You can use Cloudbet in German, English, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Russian and about ten other languages. The translations are partially but unfortunately not complete. This means that a lot of important information remains in English. Optimizations to the German version of the website should solve this problem, at least for German-speaking players.

Other Offers

Besides sports betting, Cloudbet also offers a casino. Whereby “besides” should not be understood as “incidental” here. Because the game selection is actually enormous. More than 50 (!) providers make their best titles available. Among them are such big names as NetEnt, Microgaming, Play’n Go and Betsoft.

You will find far more than conventional slots. The former two brands even provide some of their top jackpots, such as Mega Moolah, Major Millions and Devine Fortune. Table games range from roulette to blackjack and poker. And the same plus various game shows are additionally offered to you in the live casino.
