Eight steps, one claim
How we compare: one Cloudbet claim, followed step by step into our table
Cloudbet's front page says 90% of its withdrawals take less than 2 minutes. This page follows that one sentence through the eight steps every figure on this site goes through before it reaches a table cell.
On 6 September 2026 Cloudbet's front page carried this line: “Fast withdrawal — 90% of our withdrawals take less than 2 minutes.” It is a strong claim, easy to repeat and hard to check, which makes it a good test case. Here is the exact route it took from Cloudbet's page to one cell in our comparison table, in eight steps. Every other figure on this site takes the same route.
Step 1. Copy the words and the date
We record the claim word for word, with the page it sits on and the day it was captured. The same front page also says “Real-time withdrawals” and “since 2013”. Paraphrase is where a claim starts to drift: “90% in under 2 minutes” can become “instant withdrawals” within two retellings, so the exact wording stays in our notes.
Step 2. Decide what kind of text it is
A line of front-page copy and a numbered clause in the terms of service do different jobs. The clause is what you agree to when you open an account. The banner describes the service in the operator's own favour. Cloudbet's 90% line carries no clause number, so from this step on it is filed as a front-page claim.
Step 3. Look for the same promise in the terms
We read Cloudbet's terms in an archived copy on 26 August 2026. What we read there gave us clause 18.1.1, which allows identity checks, names no amount, and lets Cloudbet ask again after a check has been passed. We recorded no processing time and no payout ceiling from those terms.
That matters for a speed claim. A withdrawal paused for a document request sits outside any two-minute clock, and the banner is silent on whether such withdrawals count toward the 90%. The clause itself is read phrase by phrase on the Cloudbet KYC page.
Step 4. Take the claim apart
The sentence counts withdrawals, rather than players or dollars. It names no period, no coin and no network, and it leaves open when the two minutes start. Cloudbet's casino page adds its own “Withdrawal highlights”: a largest 24-hour payout of $95.15K, a 24-hour total of $755.28K and an all-time count of 1M. Those are self-reported too, with no method printed beside them.
This doesn't make the claim false. It means the claim is Cloudbet's own tally, and the table has to say so.
Step 5. Drop figures that didn't come from Cloudbet
Review sites carry numbers Cloudbet never wrote. An older record of ours held a daily payout cap for Cloudbet; traced back, it came from third-party reviews, so we deleted it and leave it out everywhere. The same rule settles the bonus. Reviews report a “100% up to 1 BTC” match, while Cloudbet's own pages in September 2026 say up to $2,500, so we print $2,500.
When two of our own records disagree, the one built from the operator's pages wins, and we say which we used. An older record held 30 coins for Cloudbet; the list taken from its cashier holds 40. The table says 40, and all 40 are listed on the Cloudbet coins page.
Step 6. Ask the alternatives the same question
Next we check what sites like Cloudbet put in writing about payout speed:
- Vave, our advertiser: up to 3 days to process (clause 8.1).
- Wild.io: up to $100,000 in any seven days (9.6), with no speed stated.
- Thunderpick: no processing time anywhere in its terms, read 2 September 2026; €100,000 a week (6.12).
- Rainbet: 5 to 15 minutes on its homepage, with no processing time in section 8 of its terms.
- Bitsler: “instant” in its help centre, while clause 8.15 says timing varies with the coin and network load.
Cloudbet's figure belongs with Rainbet's and Bitsler's: a speed promise in marketing copy, without a matching term.
Step 7. Test with money where we can
We have run two real-money tests, and only two. At Vave, on 28 August 2026, we deposited, played and withdrew, and no ID was requested up to 5,000 USDT. At TrustDice, in May 2026, crypto withdrawals arrived in 10–15 minutes each. ID came up once withdrawals reached about 5,000 USDT in total: a review, a Veriff link, a passport that passed on the fifth attempt, and a second request by email.
Cloudbet was not tested with money, so the 90% figure stays Cloudbet's statement and is never presented as our measurement.
Step 8. Write the cell and date it
The finished cell reads: ”90% under 2 minutes” is front-page copy; no ceiling read. The ceiling cell beside it holds a dash, because the documents we read give no figure. The reading date travels with the cell and stays fixed when a page is republished. If Cloudbet moves the promise into its terms, the cell changes and so does the date.
What the finished cell tells you
It calls Cloudbet neither fast nor slow. It tells you where the promise lives and how much the terms put behind it, which is the part that counts when you weigh up a Cloudbet alternative on payouts. The written rules for every site sit side by side on Cloudbet withdrawals.
