The sportsbook angle
Duelbits vs Cloudbet: two crypto sportsbooks with a casino attached
Cloudbet has taken bets since 2013, and on 6 September 2026 its front page put Sports, Casino and Esports tabs on one crypto account. Duelbits paired a Casino tile with a Sports tile on a front page captured 26 August 2026. Both hold Active Curaçao certificates, and here is where they part ways.
Cloudbet says it has been taking crypto bets since 2013, and in September 2026 its front page still led with sport: three tabs, Sports, Casino and Esports, over one account and a 40-coin cashier. Duelbits built its public front page, captured 26 August 2026, around a Casino tile and a Sports tile, with its rewards pages down the sidebar. For a bettor weighing the two, the licences match closely; the differences are in how each writes up its ID rule, its rewards and its offer. We have not deposited at either.

Licence
Both certificates come from the same portal and the same 2024 law, and both read Active. Duelbits' names Liquid Entertainment N.V., company number 153298, licence OGL/2024/1507/0838, granted 01/11/2024; its footer adds a Cyprus subsidiary, Herpestidae Services Limited, for management, payment and support services. Cloudbet's names Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., company number 148526, licence OGL/2024/328/0599, granted 23 May 2025, and it read Active again when we reopened it on 31 August 2026. Neither cloudbet.com nor duelbits.com has an Anjouan entry; a second domain, duelbits.io, is listed there under Elevated Entertainment Ltd (ALSI-112310013-FI5, valid to 12 October 2026, read 11 September 2026). On licence alone there is little to choose, so the rest of this page carries the weight.
Sportsbook
Cloudbet treats esports as a book of its own rather than a sub-menu. Its front page in September 2026 ran a “Parlay of the Week” with $1,000 in prizes, and its promotions page carried a banner reading “Premier League — markets are live”. Sign-up takes email, Google, a crypto wallet, Apple, X, Telegram or GitHub. Its betting rules were not among the documents we read, and its pages print no maximum stake, per-market limit or margin.
Duelbits' sportsbook help collection, archived 14 August 2025, is thinner on promotions and fuller on mechanics: single and multi bets, over/under totals, soccer and tennis guides, articles on unsettled, wrongly settled and postponed bets, and a cash-out “available on a range of sports and markets”, which Duelbits says it cannot guarantee at all times. Its blog, as archived on 3 June 2026, adds a guide to its esports markets (post of 22 May 2026) and 2UP, which pays a football bet as a winner once your team leads by two goals (10 April 2026), and its site description promises odds on 50+ sports. It registers players through Google, Steam, Telegram or a crypto wallet. Neither book publishes a maximum stake in what we read; Duelbits' 2022 interface file sets a minimum stake of 0.05. More on the Duelbits side is on the Duelbits sportsbook page.
Casino and Originals
Duelbits' welcome article, archived 24 January 2024, lists studios such as Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Play'n Go and Relax Gaming, and names six in-house games. Cloudbet's casino menu runs from Live dealer and Cloudbet Originals through slots, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Arcade & Crash, game shows, jackpot slots, bingo, keno and poker. Its pages name the Originals category without listing its games, and we recorded no provably fair claim for them. Duelbits describes itself as “a provably fair casino” in that 2024 article.
Rewards
Cloudbet's promotions page, captured by 6 September 2026, advertises “10% rakeback from day one” and daily cash drops over a new player's first 30 days, says Cloudbet Rewards has “no rollover requirements”, and offers “2.5% lifetime rakeback” through referrals. It does not say what the 10% is a share of.
Duelbits' rates on record are older. Its interface file, archived 18 April 2022, put instant rakeback at 10% and daily, weekly and monthly rakeback at 5% each, of the house edge on your wagers, with sportsbook rewards based on a 1% house edge; a New Rakeback System article listed in August 2025 was not archived, so today's rates may differ. What Duelbits does print is the clocks, which Cloudbet leaves out. Per its help centre, archived 15 May 2025, instant bits never expire, daily rakeback lapses at 00:00 UTC each day, weekly bits every Monday and monthly bits on the first of the month. A January 2025 article adds extra Monday rakeback from casino and sportsbook for VIP players. The detail is on Duelbits rakeback and VIP.
ID and withdrawals
Cloudbet's whole ID rule is clause 18.1.1, read in an archived copy of its terms on 26 August 2026. It says reliable, independent documents may be required, giving an ID card, passport, bank statement and utility bill as examples; that any customer it considers risky or suspicious may be verified; and that updated documents can be requested at any time, even after a completed check. No amount appears. For Duelbits, the help centre recommends verifying your email first (archived 15 May 2025) and lists a “KYC Guidelines for Submissions” article whose text was not archived; its trigger is covered on our Duelbits KYC page.
On payouts, Cloudbet's front page says “90% of our withdrawals take less than 2 minutes”. That is a marketing line, not a term. Duelbits' site description, archived 3 June 2026, advertises “instant withdrawals” in the same spirit, and the documents we read give no processing time or ceiling for either brand. Cloudbet's cashier lists 40 coins, from BTC and ETH to USDT, SOL and a long tail of smaller tokens. Duelbits' 2024 help article names eight coins, cards, PayPal and Skrill, and its 2026 site data lists seven coins and cards.
Vave, our advertiser, runs a casino and a sportsbook on one account too, and writes its payout rule down: up to three days to process (clause 8.1) and instalments from 50,000 USDT (8.8). In our test on 28 August 2026 we deposited, played and withdrew, and no ID was requested up to 5,000 USDT.
Bonuses
Cloudbet's own pages in September 2026 advertise a Welcome Package worth up to $2,500. We did not read a Cloudbet bonus rulebook, so its wagering, maximum bet and expiry are unknown to us. Duelbits' help centre, archived 21 January 2025, points to weekly casino and sportsbook promotions and Discord giveaways, and its offer pages print their terms: a sports free bet of up to $100 after you wager 5x the deposit, over at least 4 bets at minimum odds of 1.50, valid for 7 days (archived 23 December 2025), and 500 free spins on Pragmatic Play slots in three wagering steps, with wager-free winnings (archived 3 February 2026). Its general promotion terms could not be read.
Who should pick which
- Cloudbet suits a bettor who wants esports as a full book, a weekly parlay promotion, a 40-coin cashier and a headline rakeback rate from the first day.
- Duelbits suits a bettor who wants cash-out and settlement help in its documents, rakeback that counts sportsbook play with printed expiry times, and six named in-house games beside the book.
- The full list of crypto casinos like Duelbits has more options, and every matchup is on the Duelbits comparison hub.
