Cloudbet was established in 2013 and was therefore one of the first bitcoin casinos. Ever since then it has been a frontrunner of the scene’s ambitious project to combine bitcoin and gambling. Little is known about the owners, and we can only state the fact that the company CyberNeedle N.V. that runs Cloudbet is registered in the Dutch Antilles. An off-shore location for an off-the-grid casino. CloudBet operates under a Montenegro licence – hardly the most reputable and well known licence in the world, but that’s the payoff for anonymous gambling in bitcoin with no limits.

Cloudbet has a healthy selection of live dealer games in their live casino. Player can choose from games by Evolution Gaming (roulette, baccarat, blackjack, Casino Hold’em, Extreme Texas Hold’em, Triple Card Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker, Dream Catcher), Ezugi (roulette, baccarat, blackjack), Vivo Gaming (three versions of roulette, regular baccarat and VIP baccarat) and Asia Gaming (baccarat, roulette, Dragon Tiger, Sic bo)

There are only four live dealer game providers to begin with, but there are 65 tables to choose from, and roulette players will be particularly spoiled for choice. There are 20 versions to consider, including Double Ball Roulette, Benelux Slingshot and Bucharest Dual Play Roulette, all three by Evolution Gaming.

Native dealer tables

Cloudbet offers live roulette with Spanish (from Ezugi and Vivo Gaming) and Russian (Ezugi) croupiers . All the other live dealer games are in English. Their website is available in English, Indonesian, Korean, Turkish and Chinese and the option to change this was easy to find.

Private tables

Cloudbet doesn’t offer any private tables at the moment.

Mobile platform

Cloudbet claims to be mobile optimized, although it must be said the mobile website did have some lag issues during out experience. However, it is still very usable and can be accessed from any device such as smartphone or tablet. Asia Gaming live dealer games are absent from the mobile version however, and can only be played on desktop. Which is worth noting if you are a fan of this developer. Some other individual games that aren’t mobile optimized are also absent from the mobile view, so by far the best way to enjoy Cloudbet – and the only way to access all games on offer – is on desktop.

Bitcoin is the only currency accepted at Cloudbet, and deposits are instant. The received bitcoins are processed directly into cold storage to make sure your funds are safe. Withdrawals are instant and the customer pays the bitcoin network fee, a fair one that is much lower than the average fee on exchanges and wallets.

While none of the licencing and ownership information is too assuring to be honest, Cloudbet does have all the makings of a serious casino. It has a decent rep online and, at least visually, does things very professionally. Limits are very high – up to whopping 36 BTC – and withdrawals are instant. Furthermore, there are no KYC procedures to go through, so gambling at this site is truly anonymous. We guess if you want this anonymity enough, you might have to put up with less regulated sites to get it. At least CloudBet is gives you the option!
