Cloudbet vs Stake: the documented differences

Every difference below traces to a dated source: welcome-offer terms, payment coverage, licence and platform facts. Unknown stays unknown, and nothing is aggregated into a safety score. The full 20-area research record for both casinos follows the comparison.

What the documented record separates

  • Bonus mechanism: Cloudbet's recorded mechanism is not established; the checked source did not establish full terms. Stake's recorded mechanism is rakeback; the checked source did not establish full terms. A player comparing headline bonuses cannot verify either offer from the checked sources today.
  • Research depth on RTP Ledger: Cloudbet's record has source-backed claims in 10 of 20 areas. Stake's record has source-backed claims in 16 of 20 areas. Where a record is thin, verify directly with the operator before depositing.

Every decision area, including the gaps

A source link supports only the scope stated in its cell. Published rules are not treated as an RTP Ledger account test, and no dated source means the area remains explicitly unresearched.

Evidence areaCloudbetStake
01Legal operator identity
Documented· 1 supported statement

The terms preamble names Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. as the operator of cloudbet.com. The preamble gives company number 148526 and an address at Boulevard 03. The Curaçao Gaming Authority certificate binds the same company, company number and domain. The privacy policy gives a different postal address for the same company: Boulevard 50. RTP Ledger does not resolve this address discrepancy.

The operator and regulator records bind Medium Rare N.V. to stake.com.

Checked 2026-08-02

02Licence and domain coverage
Documented· 1 supported statement

The terms cite licence OGL/2024/328/0599. The Curaçao Gaming Authority’s own certificate lookup confirms the same licence number. The certificate lookup shows a grant date of 23/05/2025 and a current status of Active. The CGA’s own bulk licence registry PDF is dated 2026-09-10. The registry PDF lists the same licence number and company. The registry PDF gives a different issued date, 23 November 2025, and a different expiry date, 23 May 2026. The registry PDF gives a different status: "Assessment in progress". RTP Ledger does not resolve this discrepancy between the two CGA-published sources.

Checked 2026-09-27

Documented· 1 supported statement

The regulator certificate listed the covered domain, licensee, number and active status. The Curaçao Gaming Control Board's bulk licence registry PDF is dated 2026-09-10. The registry PDF lists the same licence number and Medium Rare N.V., company number 145353. The registry PDF gives an issued date of 9 December 2025 and an expiry date of 9 June 2026. The registry PDF gives a different status: "Assessment in progress". RTP Ledger does not resolve this discrepancy between the two regulator-published sources.

Clause 7.1.3 bars a user physically located in 19 named countries or territories from betting or withdrawing funds. The list includes Australia, Austria, Belgium, China (Macau and Hong Kong SAR), Curaçao, Cuba, France, Germany, Iran, Lithuania and Malta. It also includes Myanmar, the Netherlands, North Korea, Singapore, Syria, Spain, the United States of America and its territories, and the United Kingdom.

05Payment catalogue
Documented· 1 supported statement

The crypto transaction fees page lists 30 currencies. Each currency shows one or more accepted networks, for example USDT on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche C-Chain, Solana, Polygon, TRON and The Open Network. The page states that Cloudbet charges no deposit fee. It attributes withdrawal fees to the blockchain network and says these fees can change without notice. Withdrawal minimums are listed separately in the table; the text does not attribute those minimums to the network.

Checked 2026-09-27

Documented· 26 supported statements

9 payments.asset_withdrawal_table records cover BTC, DOGE, ETH, LTC, SOL, TRX, USDC, USDT, XRP. Each record follows the same documented pattern: BTC appears in Stake's public asset-level withdrawal table. The source does not bind the row to a specific network, so RTP Ledger does not treat it as an exact route claim. 17 payments.route_catalogue records cover BTC on Bitcoin, DOGE on Dogecoin, ETH on ERC-20, ETH on BEP-20, LTC on Litecoin, SOL on Solana, TRX on TRC-20, USDC on ERC-20, USDC on BEP-20, USDC on Polygon, USDC on Solana, USDT on ERC-20, USDT on BEP-20, USDT on Polygon, USDT on TRC-20, USDT on Solana, XRP on XRP Ledger. Each record follows the same documented pattern: BTC and Bitcoin appear together in Stake's accepted-networks table for deposits. RTP Ledger does not transfer asset-level withdrawal minimums or fees onto this route.

Checked 2026-08-02

06Deposit terms
Partial evidence· 1 supported statement

The crypto transaction fees page states a deposit fee of zero for every listed asset. It does not state a deposit minimum, a confirmation-count requirement or a crediting stage for any asset. RTP Ledger found no other page that states the deposit minimum, confirmations or crediting stage. Coverage gaps: deposit.route_terms.

No dated source

Partial evidence· 1 supported statement

RTP Ledger checked the public crypto withdrawal table, but it does not establish exact deposit-route terms. Deposit minimums, fees, confirmation requirements and crediting stages remain unknown. Coverage gaps: deposit.route_terms.

Checked 2026-08-02

07Withdrawal terms
Partial evidence· 2 supported statements

The crypto transaction fees page states that Cloudbet charges no deposit fee. The page states that the blockchain network sets a flat withdrawal fee. The page states that this fee can change without notice. Clause 7.1.10.1 reserves the right to add a handling charge of up to 5% on deposits and withdrawals. Clause 7.5.8 gives a 24-hour window for a refund request. The window extends to 30 calendar days if the user claims that another person accessed the account. RTP Ledger has not observed a withdrawal on cloudbet.com, so processing time and effective fees are not established. Coverage gaps: first-party withdrawal processing observation.

Checked 2026-09-27

Partial evidence· 1 supported statement

The public terms describe four material withdrawal conditions but do not provide an observed processing time. Coverage gaps: first-party withdrawal processing observation.

Checked 2026-08-01

08Bonus terms
Partial evidence· 2 supported statements

The promotion page checked on 26 September 2026 describes a Cash Vault separately from the $2,500 reload and rakeback amount. Clause 8.4 of the terms retains a $2,500 package cap. The previous total-cap and no-wagering summary is withheld pending reconciliation. The separate stored claim that all slots contribute 100% is also withdrawn: clause 8.5 now defines contribution by RTP. Earlier evidence remains in this claim’s history; this check was limited to the changed bonus sources. Section 8.4 states account eligibility, first-deposit activation, a 30-day period and a $2,500 package cap. The promotion page describes the Cash Vault separately from reloads and casino rakeback. RTP Ledger has not established how the stated cap and expiry apply to the whole current offer, so the earlier combined eligibility-and-expiry claim is withheld. This is a public-source check, not an account test or partner confirmation. Coverage gaps: bonus.economic_terms, bonus.account_eligibility_and_expiry.

Checked 2026-09-26

Partial evidence· 1 supported statement

Stake publishes that a valid affiliate code entered within 24 hours unlocks rakeback equal to 3.5% of house edge. RTP Ledger does not infer a fixed deposit-match amount, wagering requirement or account-specific eligibility. Coverage gaps: bonus.account_eligibility_and_expiry.

Checked 2026-08-02

09KYC and source-of-funds process
Partial evidence· 2 supported statements

Clause 18.1.5 requires identity verification once cumulative deposits reach or exceed USD 2,200. Clause 18.1.3 names Sumsub as the contracted provider for automated KYC verification. Clause 7.5.7 lets Cloudbet ask for identification, proof of address, a card check and a photo before paying a withdrawal. RTP Ledger has not run a test account on cloudbet.com, so the stage at which verification is requested in practice is not established. Coverage gaps: observed KYC trigger and stage.

Checked 2026-09-27

Partial evidence· 1 supported statement

Published records support possible withdrawal KYC and a detailed source-of-income document list, not the trigger timing for a specific account. Coverage gaps: observed KYC trigger and stage.

10Responsible-gambling controls
Documented· 2 supported statements

The responsible-gambling page publishes a deposit limit with daily, weekly (7-day) or monthly (30-day) duration options. A stricter limit takes effect immediately. A less strict limit, or a cancelled limit, takes effect after a 24-hour wait. RTP Ledger found no separate wager limit or net-loss limit tool on the page. The responsible-gambling page offers cooling-off for 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month or 3 months. Betting is disabled during cooling-off. The page offers self-exclusion for 1 year, 3 years, 5 years or a lifetime. The page describes a lifetime exclusion as irreversible. The page names four help organisations: Gamblers Anonymous, GambleAware, Gambling Therapy and Gamtalk.

Checked 2026-09-27

Documented· 2 supported statements

The help centre publishes loss and wager limits plus a delay before an increase takes effect. The help centre publishes both indefinite self-exclusion and shorter break-in-play options.

14Game catalogue and RTP evidence
Partial evidence· 1 supported statement

The fairness and RNG testing page states that RNGs are certified and tested externally before going live. It states that the theoretical RTP for a game appears in that game’s own information or help section. It states that analysis comparing the actual RTP to the theoretical RTP is carried out quarterly. This custom field name does not match the schema’s Stake Engine catalogue field. Cloudbet publishes a certification and review statement instead of a per-game RTP catalogue. Coverage gaps: game_rtp.stake_engine_catalogue_fields.

Checked 2026-09-12

Documented· 1 supported statement

The public Stake Engine catalogue lists game, RTP and event-count records for each mode. RTP Ledger has no permanent archived copy of the catalogue. RTP Ledger does not infer account-specific availability from the catalogue.

15Fairness and verification
Partial evidence· 1 supported statement

The provably fair page states that Cloudbet Originals combine a server seed, a client seed and a nonce. It names SHA3-256 as the algorithm that creates the Commitment and the Round Signature. It names SHAKE256 as the algorithm that turns the Round Signature into the outcome stream. The page states a player can reproduce the Commitment and verify a round once the seeds are revealed. Coverage gaps: reproduced account-bet verification.

The homepage footer lists a Help Center, labelled "Find answers easily", and live chat, labelled "Get Support 24/7". Clause 7.1.10.2 of the terms gives support@cloudbet.com as the contact address for reactivating a suspended account. RTP Ledger has not timed a support request on cloudbet.com, so response times are not established. Coverage gaps: timestamped support-response test.
