22bet vs Cloudbet
Side-by-side comparison from our published reviews — ratings, payments, KYC, licensing, and where each one is the better fit.
22bet
Sportsbook-led operator founded in 2017 by TechSolutions Group N.V. (Curaçao reg. 144920) under Antillephone license 8048/JAZ. Strong footprint across Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America with deep sportsbook coverage plus a full casino vertical.
Cloudbet
An 8-year operator history, bonus math that holds up to audit, and same-day crypto payouts that consistently land — Cloudbet earns the score the hard way.

Strengths and Weak Spots
22bet
What we like
- 60+ payment methods covering crypto, cards, e-wallets, African rails
- 40+ language interface with native localisation
- 22+ cryptocurrencies + €600K maximum single payout
- Deep cricket + African soccer + esports sportsbook coverage
- $1 minimum deposit (lowest in segment)
- 8-tier VIP cashback 5-11% on losses
What we don't
- 50% of recent Trustpilot reviews are 1-star
- Documented 'successful' withdrawals never reaching player banks
- KYC document re-request cascade (birth certificate demand documented)
- Deposit-vs-withdrawal method asymmetry — verified accounts can be locked out
- Operationally parallel to 1xBet (UK license revoked 2019)
- 50× wagering + 7-day window + $7 max-bet welcome (structurally non-realisable)
Cloudbet
What we like
- One of the oldest crypto casinos (est. 2013) — proven track record
- 30+ cryptocurrencies supported including BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, XRP, TON, DOGE
- Also accepts fiat (USD, EUR, CAD, JPY) via credit card
- 8-tier loyalty program with 5-12.5% rakeback and daily/weekly/monthly cash drops
- Full sportsbook with zero-margin odds on select events and Whale Mode for high-limit bets
What we don't
- Curacao license offers less player protection than UKGC or Malta
- Withdrawals take up to 24 hours (not instant like some competitors)
- KYC verification required — not fully anonymous despite crypto focus
Verdict: Cloudbet
Cloudbet takes it on our scorecard, 9.4 to 7.9. That gap is the review math, not a knockout — 22bet still wins on specific rows above, so check the ones that matter to how you actually play. Full reasoning lives in the Cloudbet review and the 22bet review.
