Dollars and gold on-chain
Five stable tokens at Cloudbet's cashier, and why a bettor might settle in one
Cloudbet's cashier lists 40 coins, and five of them are built to hold a steady price: USDT, USDC, USDP and DAI track the US dollar, and PAXG tracks gold. Here is what each one is, why a bettor might keep a balance in one, and which alternatives' coin lists we actually read.
Of the 40 coins on Cloudbet's cashier list, read on 26 August 2026, four are designed to hold one US dollar each: USDT, USDC, USDP and DAI. A fifth, PAXG, tracks gold instead. Two more names on the list, USDE and SUSDE, carry a dollar label but work differently: USDE is a synthetic dollar held near its peg by hedged crypto positions, and SUSDE is its staked, yield-bearing form.
This post reads those tokens from a bettor's side of the counter: what each one is, why someone might hold a sportsbook balance in one, and what the cashier list leaves unsaid.
What are the five, in one line each?
- USDT. A dollar token, and the unit both of our real-money tests were measured in: Vave on 28 August 2026 and TrustDice in May 2026.
- USDC. A dollar token, and the second dollar stablecoin on Cloudbet's list next to USDT.
- USDP. A dollar token. Among the lists we read, only Cloudbet's carries it.
- DAI. A dollar token issued by a protocol rather than by a company. Again, only Cloudbet's list has it.
- PAXG. A token that tracks gold. Its dollar price moves with the metal, so it is steady in ounces rather than in dollars.
USDE and SUSDE sit further down Cloudbet's list. USDE keeps its dollar value through hedged positions rather than cash in a bank, and SUSDE, its staked form, adds a yield on top. Both belong in a separate category from the four plain dollar tokens.
Why would a bettor settle in a stablecoin?
The short answer is that it removes one moving part.
A bet is a wager on a result. When the balance behind it is held in BTC or ETH, the bettor is also exposed to the coin's price between placing the bet and cashing out. A winning ticket can be worth fewer dollars at withdrawal than it was at settlement, and a quiet week can shrink a balance that never saw a losing bet.
Holding the balance in a dollar token keeps the result of the bet as the main thing that changes it. That matters more on a sportsbook than on a slot, because a bet can stay open for days while a spin settles in seconds.
Two practical reasons follow:
- Reading limits and thresholds. Several operators write their figures in USDT. Vave's clause 8.8 sets its instalment rule at balances above 50,000 USDT, and Empire.io's clause 5.4 names 2,000 USDT as its ID threshold. A USDT balance can be read against those figures without conversion.
- Record-keeping. Deposits, bets and withdrawals in one dollar unit make a simple ledger.
There is a trade-off. A dollar token holds its value only while its peg holds, and a stable balance gives up any rise in the price of a coin like BTC. Which of those matters more is each bettor's own call.
What does the cashier list leave out?
A coin list is a list of names. Four things a depositor needs are missing from the pages we read.
The network. USDT and USDC circulate on more than one blockchain, and Cloudbet's list names the coin without naming the chains it accepts for each. Rainbet's terms, for comparison, warn in clause 7.9 that deposits in unsupported coins or networks risk being permanently lost. Check the network in the deposit screen, every time.
Conversion. Whether a USDT deposit stays in USDT or is converted on arrival is outside our reading for Cloudbet.
Fees and minimums. Neither appears on the list. Network fees are set by the chain at the moment of sending.
Buying in. Cloudbet's front page offers “Deposit or buy crypto”, with a “+30 more” button after the headline coins. The terms of that purchase route were not read.
The full 40 names are printed on Cloudbet's coin page.
Which alternatives' lists did we actually read?
Coin lists as read from each operator's own pages or terms: Cloudbet, Wild.io and TrustDice on 26 August 2026, Rainbet on 2 September 2026, Shuffle's terms on 8 September 2026. Vave is our advertiser.
| Site | Coin list we read | Dollar stablecoins on it | Gold token |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudbet | 40 coins | USDT, USDC, USDP, DAI; also USDE, SUSDE | PAXG |
| Wild.io | 12 coins | USDT, USDC | — |
| TrustDice | 9 coins, including its own TXT | USDT, USDC | — |
| Rainbet | Open-ended list in its FAQ | USDT, USDC | — |
| Vave | Full cashier list not read | USDT, in its terms and in our test | — |
| Shuffle | Not read: shown only in the cashier (9.4, 10.6) | — | — |
| Stake | Not read | — | — |
A dash means the documents we read give no figure.
Two things stand out. First, Cloudbet is the only site on this list whose cashier names USDP, DAI or PAXG. Second, the gaps are real gaps in our reading rather than findings about the operators. Shuffle's terms say the supported currencies and their deposit limits appear in the cashier, which sits behind registration, and we did not open an account there.
Rainbet's list shows why a count can mislead. Its FAQ names seven coins and then adds “stablecoins including USDT and USDC”, which leaves the list open, so we record the names and no total.
