Cloudbet launched in 2013. That's ancient in crypto years. When this site went live, Bitcoin was trading under $200 and nobody was building casino platforms on it except a handful of people who thought it was a good idea. 13 years later it's still here. Hasn't been acquired. Hasn't rebranded. Hasn't collapsed. I looked up the corporate structure. Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. runs it out of Curacao under license OGL/2024/328/0599. Payment processing goes through a subsidiary in Cyprus called Solas Technologies. Two separate entities in two countries for one gambling site.
Two sponsorship badges on the homepage. PFL and Karate Combat. MMA and karate. Not football. Not Formula 1. Combat sports. Someone at Cloudbet spent real money on those deals. Either way it's a different audience. The site itself is clean. Dark theme, minimal clutter, no popups on arrival. Account creation takes an email and a password. No phone number, no address verification at signup. KYC comes later if you try to withdraw above certain thresholds. I got through the registration in under a minute without providing anything beyond an email. That's fast, even for a crypto platform.
