AvoidNo Canadian province licenses Cloudbet. This crypto sportsbook and casino runs under Curacao licence OGL/2024/328/0599, held by Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. Canada is not on the restricted country list in its terms, so many Canadians can open an account, but the terms leave the question of local legality to the user and no provincial regulator stands behind it. This Cloudbet review covers what the operator itself publishes and what remains unconfirmed.
The operator gives 2013 as its founding year. A long record is not the same as protection, and the gap matters more when deposits are in Bitcoin rather than Canadian dollars.
Cloudbet licence and legal standing for Canadians
The footer names Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., based in Willemstad, Curacao, as the licence holder. A Curacao licence is an offshore licence from a Canadian point of view: under section 207 of the Criminal Code only a province, or an operator it licenses, may run online casino games and sports betting.
- Cloudbet is not registered with the AGCO or contracted with iGaming Ontario, and it is not an Alberta registrant.
- A complaint about a settled bet or a frozen account goes to the operator and then to the Curacao regulator, not to a province.
- Provincial self-exclusion and the Ontario advertising and bonus rules do not apply to it.
Clause 7.1.3 of the terms lists the countries Cloudbet refuses and says the customer is responsible for checking local law. We cannot tell you a given province will never act against such sites; we can tell you that you would be outside the provincial safety net.

Where Cloudbet falls short
There is a named licence holder and a public licence number, so this is not an anonymous site. Our score still places it in the avoid band: the licence tier is the lowest we weigh, Canadian dollar payments and Interac are not confirmed, and we could not read bonus terms we would rely on. If you read player reviews, look for patterns, such as repeated complaints about account checks after a large win, rather than single posts.
Sportsbook, esports and Cloudbet casino
The home page shows three products: a sportsbook, an esports book and the Cloudbet casino. We did not verify the full market list or the casino’s game studios, so check that the leagues and games you care about are offered before you fund an account. For background on how odds and single-game bets work in Canada, see our sports betting section. Provincial sportsbooks such as PROLINE+ and PlayNow offer the same kind of single-event betting with provincial oversight.
Cloudbet crypto payments and withdrawals
Cloudbet says it supports more than 30 cryptocurrencies. That has practical consequences that a Canadian dollar casino does not:
- The value of your balance moves with the coin price between deposit and withdrawal.
- A blockchain transfer sent to the wrong address cannot be reversed by your bank.
- Converting back to CAD goes through an exchange, which adds its own fees and identity checks.

Cloudbet bonus, promo code and free spins
Searches for a Cloudbet promo code or a no deposit bonus are common. The current offer on file: not stated. We could not confirm bonus wagering from the operator’s pages, so we do not repeat figures that circulate on affiliate sites. If an offer appears in your account, check the rollover, the minimum odds for qualifying bets and the expiry date before you accept it.
Cloudbet app and mobile
Our data has no confirmed Cloudbet app in the Canadian App Store or Google Play. Use the site in a mobile browser, and skip any app download offered outside the official stores; those files are a security risk.
Safer play
Betting is for adults: 19+ (18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec). Crypto deposits are easy to repeat and hard to track, so set a weekly budget in dollars before you start. Free helplines by province are on our responsible gambling page.
