Good morning all,

@germanszaky - I've passed your details on to our support teams and asked them to respond to you directly with an update.

@raven7886 - Your feedback is much appreciated, and I'll pass it on to our teams who are currently working to improve our service in that regard.

@ftp_1988 - Our support teams are the only ones able to advise you on a timeframe for security checks. If you are still waiting after the seven day period you have been given then please PM me here and i'll escalate the issue to support team leaders.  

@malikuniversity - Thanks for getting in touch. I've just spoken to our support teams and it appears that you placed a five line acca/parlay and two of the selections didn't win (Calgary and Toronto) which meant the bet was graded as a loss.

@bbc.reporter - I've spoken to our teams and unfortunately we won't be able to lower the min stakes on GoT lines.  

Thanks, and have a great day!

Wow, what a game!  Shocked

Congratulations to Hhampuz on reaching Cloud 9! I'll be in touch via DM to arrange delivery of your 0.16 BTC!

A massive thanks to everyone who has taken part in this competition, especially those who have joined in the discussion on the results of each round! It was one of our most popular competitions so far, with 100 entries in the first round, so i'll be looking to run another similar competition sometime soon.

In the meantime sportsbook fans might be interested in our new March Madness 1BTC giveaway!

Place a bet of at least 0.0001 BTC on the NBA, NCAA, and PBA to receive a ticket for the giveaway, and on April 9th we'll make the draw - the winner will receive 1BTC!

Hope you all have an excellent week!

Apologies for the lack of public responses, I've been responding to issues reported by players here in our thread via PM.

@igoraha777 - I sent you a PM yesterday, if you could let me know your Cloudbet nickname I'll investigate for you.

Thanks very much,

Just checking in to say good luck for the weekend Hhampuz!

If you want to change your prediction before the deadline just post here and I'll update.

I've got my fingers crossed for you!  Smiley

Anyone else watching live sports this weekend?

My beloved Leyton Orient are on the road at A.F.C. Telford Utd in the FA trophy semi final, so I'll be at home listening to the commentary.

Have a great weekend!

Wow what a fight that was!  Shocked

Congratulations to Hhampuz and commiserations to athreekv!

@athreekv if you could please PM me your BTC wallet address I'll get your winnings sent out asap!

Only one left in the running now, so we are going over to the Italian Soccer leagues for the Derby della Madonnina (Milan Derby)!

AC Milan v Inter Milan
19:30 UTC Sunday March 17th


Deadline is 18:30 UTC Sunday March 17th - Good luck!  Grin

Our weekly soccer blog will be out tomorrow, and should include tips for the game if you are looking for more info, I'll post here when it's live  Wink

Have a great day!

Predictions added to the sheet, good luck to you both!  Grin

EDIT2; Ronnie, what happens when one of us are going through here? Will the winner of me and athreekv get both the last clouds or will we get a chance to predict a lonely game to get the highest cloud (and if so, what happens with the other cloud?). If it's the first and whoever goes through gets the 0.27BTC this is a huge fight for the both of us as loser would get "only" 0.079BTC Grin

Whoever goes out this round will take the whole pot for Round 7, and whoever goes through to Round 8 will have a chance to keep moving up to reach Cloud 9!

If there is any unpaid pools I'll check to see if I'm allowed to raffle it off for everyone that entered at round one - pretty sure I'm signed off for the whole budget anyway  Wink

Have a great day!

Morning all!

I've received all the BTC wallet details now so I've just sent it all over to our payment team to be processed, enjoy your winnings!  Grin

I'm still not sure about this fight, JDS is on a hot streak and fighting for a potential title shot (or maybe a go at Ngannou at the very least) but I just can't bet against Lewis when it comes to stopping power alone. JDS is definitely more technical with a strong jab game, but if Lewis can bring him to ground then it could be all over quickly.

If I had to put a bet on it would be JDS on points, probably from poking Lewis with jabs and wearing him down over time. One hit from the beast could end that though.

EDIT: Just been told all the payments have been processed  Smiley

This is indeed a great competition! Thank you Cloudbet for the opportunity to win some prizes, will send you my address. Hoping for more competition like this! Cheesy

I will still monitor this thread and let’s see who will take the top spot. Good luck for the both of you!

Thank you Cloudbet and congrats to all!  Smiley

Glad everyone had fun!  Grin

I'm still waiting on one BTC address from this round, I was hoping to send all the winnings out in one go so I'll wait till tomorrow morning to see if it comes in. If not I'll send out the funds  for the others first thing tomorrow.

Have a great night!

Can I still post and share my thought/predictions here ?  Grin

Wish that "Derrick Lewis vs. Junior dos Santos" would be previous round, as fighting is more easy for me to predicts.


Of course! It could help out our last two with their predictions!  Wink

To be honest I was tempted to make this week's event Leyton Orient vs Wrexham but thought it would be mean to make people research a national league game  Grin

Wow that was an exciting game!  Grin

Congratulations to athreekv and Hhampuz on making it through to the next round as our final two savvy sportsbook predictors!

(Hhampuz was temp banned from the forums and contacted me directly with his prediction and Bet ID for this round)

Commiserations to an@sha, Johnyz, pesur, and TopTort777 on getting knocked out, but you can console yourselves with some free BTC coming your way!  Cheesy

The pot for Round 6 was 0.063 BTC, so you'll all be receiving 0.01575 BTC each! Please DM me your preferred bitcoin wallet addresses and I'll get your prizes sent out ASAP.


This week we'll be going back to big dudes hitting each other at UFC Fight Night 146!

Derrick Lewis vs. Junior dos Santos
3:45AM UTC on Sunday 10th March

Morning all!

Still only 2 predictions for this round so far, so i'll send out a couple of reminders now.

Still looking like this is going to be a close match. Arsenal spanked Bournemouth mid-week, while Tottenham lost to Chelsea, so momentum could be on Arsenal's side. Will it be enough to overcome the home crowd advantage in a North London derby?

Hope you all have a great weekend, and good luck with your predictions!  Grin

Do you pay blog writers in bitcoin or in free spins? Grin I'm kidding but I'd be willing to give it a shot.

 Grin

Our writers are mostly paid in Bitcoin, but some 'weirdos' prefer fiat payments via paypal  Wink

We are always looking for knowledgable people to write about specific sports, or crypto topics, so if anyone is interested then more information can be found here.

No guesses for this week's match yet? This is taken from our weekly soccer preview blog:

Tottenham v Arsenal

Mauricio Pochettino’s outburst at the final whistle at Turf Moor hinted towards the knowledge that Tottenham’s title hopes are almost over, which could dent their confidence ahead of a huge game against high-flying Arsenal. Unai Emery’s side have sneaked into fourth, and a win at Wembley would make them favourites to grab the final Champions League spot. The contrasting momentum means the away side can take all three points.

However, the safest bet is a topsy-turvy match in which Arsenal’s erratic away form creates opportunities at both ends. They have only won two of their last nine away matches, against Huddersfield and Blackpool, which should give confidence to Harry Kane – scorer of seven goals in eight North London Derby games.


Back over 2.75 goals @ 1.81

So our writers are leaning slightly towards Arsenal at the moment, but predicting a close match with multiple goals.

The major's almost done! The quarterfinals are being played next week, and the semifinals & finals on 2nd/3rd march.

The qualifiers were really fun to watch, Ence and Renegades were underdogs that made it to the quarterfinals in their first time they made it out of the minors! And we have long-time legends like Fnatic and Cloud9 that got disqualified, it was hilarious seeing the live odds for most of the games go all over the place as the teams that are favourite to win end up getting sweeped.

I'm cheering for the underdogs in these quarterfinals even though Astralis's looking as good as ever, so they'll probably win this major again, I recommend you try giving it a watch, maybe we'll hit 1 million+ live viewers again and break Twitch records for the second time.

Nice! Maybe if we reintroduce eSports I can get you to write some blogs for us?  Grin

I usually go for the underdogs and have been following Ence on CS:GO for a while, but I still have a soft spot for Fnatic as I've worked with them in the past and used to walk by the Fnatic 'bunker' on my way to work.

These days I stay more up to date with Rainbow 6, Overwatch, and LoL when it comes to live eSports, but still watch the major tourneys for CS:GO, Dota, Smite, TF2, etc when I have time (and Leyton Orient aren't playing of course!)  Wink

Ok I'm all caught up, thanks for your patience  Smiley

I've updated the spreadsheet from last week, and 5 people made it through to Round 6!

Congratulations to an@sha, athreekv, Hhampuz, Johnyz, pesur, and TopTort777 on progressing to Cloud 6, and commiserations to niceboy999 on being knocked out - you can console yourself with the fact you get the 0.047 BTC prize pool for Round 5 all to yourself!  Wink

This week we'll be going back to the EPL (it was either that or NCAA basketball and there was only one weekend game  Wink)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal
12:30PM UTC on Saturday 2nd March


Deadline for entries at 11:30AM UTC on Saturday 2nd March

Eubank Jr. Won the fight.
Nice move from niceboy999 with winning 0,047btc bank since was the only one who predicted DeGale, while others goes next round and fight to split 0,063 btc Grin



@niceboy999 - Don't forget to PM me your wallet address so I can get your winnings sent out! Cheesy

@Cloudbet you should give the players here an eSports game! It doesn't look like a lot of people here follow it and it might be fun, since the CS:GO major is being played as of the next 2 weeks.

I'm hoping we might have some big news coming in the next few weeks in regards to eSports (I've got all my fingers and toes crossed) so I'd rather hold off on including eSports for now and do something dedicated if anything happens. The CS:GO major would be a great event for it though, who's your team?

Hope you all have a great week!

Apologies for my lack of posts yesterday, I was off work with a particularly nasty bug. Just going to take care of a few tasks then I'll be updating with last week's winners and this week's event to predict!  Smiley

617  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: 🏆Cloudbet's Cloud 9 Predictor Competition! Free Entry + 0.47 BTC Prize pool! 🏆 on: February 22, 2019, 02:36:18 PM
Afternoon all,

I've just been through and updated the spreadsheet - looks like Eubank Jr is the favourite here!

Eubank Jr: 6
DeGale: 1 (Good luck niceboy999!)  Wink

We've also had one Safety Net played from athreekv in this round. Hhampuz, Johnyz, niceboy999, pesur, and TopTort777 are yet to use theirs.

Honestly I'm still torn between these two, not sure who i'd bet on. In our recent blog our experts tipped DeGale for a win on points if the fight goes the distance, but there's a real chance Eubank Jr could end it early with his history of winning by KO (21 to DeGales 15).

Boxing aside, anyone planning to watch other live sports this weekend? My beloved Leyton Orient are travelling to Brackley in the cup this weekend, so I'll be listening in to the commentary and praying for a return to form   Grin

Have a great weekend!

Afternoon all,

Apologies for the delay in sending out the Risk Free bet credit, I've been out of the office for a couple of days. Those that PMed me their bet IDs should now have their 0.006 BTC stakes returned as bonus funds ready for another round of betting!

One player went big with a risk free bet bet on total goals +4.5 on the Newport County v Manchester City game, so congrats on the win!  Grin

I'll be back in the office tomorrow and will update the spreadsheet with this week's entries ASAP.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Hi all,

There has been some discontent in the forums and we would like to take this opportunity to clear a few issues up.

Firstly, please be reminded that Cloudbet does NOT accept any USA players.

USA players are blocked from registering accounts, and are blocked from making bets. If any player from USA attempts to make an account, they see a message saying USA players are prohibited and are not able to sign up.

To reiterate, players from USA are NOT allowed on Cloudbet.

If we have strong reason to believe that a player has deliberately and willingly circumvented our terms of service by connecting from USA (or another restricted territory), we freeze their account while we conduct an investigation, and ask the player to provide documentation on their residency. Please note that this is only when we strongly suspect that a player has connected from USA, ie, there is specific evidence to suggest this.

In most cases, the player is cooperative and provides us with accurate documentation about their account and residency. If they are a USA resident, we close their account permanently, and return their account balance. This has been the case with several vocal users in the forum. Sometimes this can take some time, as every case is slightly different, but is always resolved eventually provided the player furnishes us with accurate information.

If they are connecting from a non-restricted country, we reopen their account and they can resume using their account without limitation.

Please note that in all cases where the player has cooperated, they have received their entire account balance, and had their accounts closed only if they were connecting from a prohibited jurisdiction (or there was a separate unrelated issue). If any forum members in this situation would come forward and confirm receipt of their account balances in full, this would be appreciated.

However - on rare occasions, the player is NOT cooperative and provides us with deliberately falsified or fraudulent information. In these cases, our investigations are significantly more complicated and time consuming.


There is one specific case that has received a lot of attention from the community - Swofty - as the dollar amount is particularly large. Here is our comment on the case:

  • As we have a duty of privacy to all of our players, we are limited in what we can share. The player may have shared some details, but we are not able to share any specifics or personal data.
  • That said, we can share definitively that the player has knowingly and deliberately provided untruthful, falsified and fraudulent information to both Cloudbet and the community.
  • The account holder is NOT the person that he/she states it is, nor are they in the location they state.
  • The player also knowingly and deliberately circumvented our terms of service by connecting from a prohibited jurisdiction.
  • The reason the player has not been paid yet is entirely to do with them circumventing our terms of service and providing falsified and fraudulent information, and nothing to do with our bitcoin liquidity (more on that below).
  • As the customer provided us with definitively falsified information, we suggested they reach out to Curacao Egaming - with whom we hold a licence - for assistance. This is the correct escalation for any player issues.
  • We intend to resolve this issue in a manner completely fair to everyone once we receive truthful and accurate information from the player.
  • It appears as if the player is now cooperating, so we hope to have a resolution to this case soon.

We have been encouraged by the way the community has responded to rally behind the player and help hold Cloudbet accountable, however in this case the player has not been truthful with the community. We encourage the player to share a more accurate story.


Separately, concerns have been raised about Cloudbet's ability to service the player's withdrawal immediately. You needn’t be concerned - we hold enough funds to cover all of our player balances several times over, and we would never accept a bet that we could not pay in full immediately. We have been around since 2013 and have always celebrated our largest winners, and paid extremely promptly.

We would like to address this in the way requested by the community -- a signed message from a wallet that holds sufficient funds to cover any liabilities that may be due to this player.

We have signed a message from a wallet holding ~1157 BTC. All outputs spent to this wallet are from wallets that belong to us, and had not moved in over a year (we sent them to a single wallet for the purpose of this exercise) so they are not newly acquired coins.  We would be happy to sign another message from any of the source wallets to prove ownership if required.

Wallet: 16vk7DahVgj4VsfKKdr1pG3QJ9FvzXpdJN
Message: cloudbet.com // no USA players allowed
Signature: HxO5QwkA/UNVePahBUzYgWL4Zz5syTC1H6/LeHICsvW0MYG9Q+PgOjNbzVXgXsLbadzFO2wLlz25nsbaXkeTXo4=

You can verify the above message in your bitcoin client, or by using the web interface here

I hope that addresses the community's immediate concerns. If anybody has any further questions or follow-up, please feel free to contact us directly via our support channels, or post a reply in this thread and we will do our best to address them in a timely manner.

Once more, to reiterate, Cloudbet does NOT accept USA players.

Thanks for your continued support, patience, and diligence.

The Cloudbet Team
