Safety checks
Is Cloudbet legit? Six checks you can run yourself, and its answers
Cloudbet has traded since 2013 and holds an Active Curaçao license in the name of Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. This page runs six checks on it that any reader can repeat, and lists the signs worth watching once you have an account.
Six checks separate a crypto sportsbook you can hold to account from one you cannot, and Cloudbet clears the first four. It has an Active license in a named company and a 13-year history, and its rules are in writing. The fifth check shows how little a license covers, and the sixth comes back mixed. Every answer here comes from a document or register we opened, with the date. We did not play at Cloudbet with money.
The short answer
Read between 26 August and 6 September 2026.
| Check | Cloudbet's answer | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Is the license live? | Yes: OGL/2024/328/0599, Active | Curaçao certificate portal, 26 and 31 August 2026 |
| 2. Is there a named company? | Yes: Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., 148526 | Same certificate |
| 3. How long has it traded? | Since 2013 | Cloudbet's own pages |
| 4. Are the rules written down? | Yes; ID in clause 18.1.1 | Archived copy of its terms, 26 August 2026 |
| 5. What does the license cover? | The operation of cloudbet.com | Same certificate |
| 6. Do the claims match the terms? | Partly | Front page vs terms |
Check 1: is the license live?
The Curaçao Gaming Authority keeps a certificate portal that you search by domain. Asked for cloudbet.com on 26 August 2026, it returned a Certificate of Operation with the status Active. We opened it again on 31 August and the status had not changed.
The status is the part to look at. A license number printed in a site's footer proves nothing on its own; the register's current status does. Anyone can repeat this search, which is what makes it a check rather than a claim.
Check 2: is there a named company?
The certificate names Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., incorporated under the laws of Curaçao, company number 148526. A company name and number give you something concrete to cite in a complaint to the regulator. The full certificate and how to read it are on the Cloudbet license page.
Check 3: how long has it traded?
Cloudbet's own pages say it has been paying players since 2013. That is 13 years, and none of the rival sites we compare prints an earlier founding year. Age shows staying power. It says less about today's terms, so treat it as one point in its favour rather than a guarantee.
Check 4: are the rules written down?
Cloudbet publishes terms, and the clause that matters most to a new player is 18.1.1. Read in an archived copy on 26 August 2026, it says identity documents may be required, that Cloudbet may verify any customer it deems risky or suspicious, and that it can ask for updated documents at any time, including after a check you have already passed. It names no amount.
Written, numbered rules are a good sign: you can quote them back to support. The ID clause itself is broad, and the Cloudbet KYC guide explains what that means in practice.
Check 5: what does the license cover?
The certificate ties the domain cloudbet.com to Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. under the National Ordinance on Games of Chance (P.B. 2024, no. 157), Curaçao's 2024 gaming law. It confirms that this company may operate this site under that law.
None of the lines we recorded from it set a payout time, a withdrawal ceiling or an ID threshold. Those live in Cloudbet's terms, and where the terms are silent, the license fills no gap.
Check 6: do the marketing claims match the terms?
This is where the answer is mixed. The front page says “90% of our withdrawals take less than 2 minutes”, and the casino page shows a withdrawal board with $95.15K as the largest payout in 24 hours. None of the documents we read turns those into a written processing time or a payout ceiling.
The welcome offer shows the same gap. Cloudbet's pages advertise up to $2,500, and we did not read a rulebook that prints its wagering. Marketing lines can be changed overnight; clauses are what you can hold a company to.
Signs to watch once you have an account
- A second ID request after you passed the first. Clause 18.1.1 allows it, so it is expected rather than alarming. Keep your documents to hand.
- A bonus accepted before its rules are read. Ask support for the wagering and maximum bet in writing before you opt in.
- Figures you only saw on review sites. Daily caps and bonus sizes quoted by third parties may not match Cloudbet's own pages. Trust the operator's document.
- A license claim with no register named. If a page says “licensed” without the Curaçao certificate portal and a date, check it yourself.
Whether Cloudbet may serve you where you live is a separate question, answered on one page: where Cloudbet works.
If you would rather start somewhere we have tested, the Cloudbet alternative list includes Vave, our advertiser, where on 28 August 2026 we deposited, played and withdrew with no ID requested up to 5,000 USDT.
