Anonymous betting sites compared

What “anonymous” means at crypto bookmakers

Anonymous betting sites do not all handle identity checks the same way. Some let you enter through a Web3 wallet with no KYC step at all. Others accept deposits and bets without verification, but ask for documents before a withdrawal. A third group applies checks only when a specific trigger makes them necessary.

Dexsport is in the first category: anonymous entry via Web3 wallets, with no KYC required. Cloudbet sits in the middle — verification is partial and applied only when required. Stake is at the stricter end: level 2 verification is mandatory before any withdrawal.

The distinction matters for Dutch players. A site that lets you deposit and bet without KYC but blocks withdrawals until you verify is not fully anonymous in practice. The withdrawal step is where identity checks usually appear, so that is the point to check before depositing.

Licence checks for players in the Netherlands

A Curacao or Anjouan licence is not a Dutch licence. The Netherlands has its own regulator, and none of the licences listed in the facts below come from it. Players in the Netherlands use these sites under their own responsibility, and the licence information here is about the operator’s registration, not about Dutch approval.

Stake holds a Curacao Gaming Authority licence under Medium Rare N.V., with licence number OGL/2024/1451/0918. Cloudbet also holds a Curacao Gaming Authority licence, number OGL/2024/328/0599. Thunderpick has a Curacao licence and has operated since 2017. Dexsport is registered under Dexapp LTD with an Anjouan licence.

KYC and withdrawal speed compared

The table below shows how the four anonymous betting sites compare on KYC, withdrawal time, and licence. Stake is included as a reference point because it is often mentioned alongside crypto bookmakers, even though its KYC policy is stricter than the others.

Thunderpick is the only one with an instant withdrawal time recorded in the facts. Stake’s 0–2 days applies after approval, which means the KYC step can add time before that window starts.

Sports coverage: what you can actually bet on

Anonymous betting sites differ sharply in how much traditional sports coverage they offer. Stake lists 30 sports, including football, basketball, tennis, baseball, hockey, and esports. Cloudbet covers 5: football, basketball, tennis, MMA, and esports. Thunderpick is esports-focused with limited traditional sports, listing 3 categories in the facts.

For a Dutch player looking at football, the difference between 30 sports and 5 is visible immediately. If you want a broad sportsbook, Stake has the widest listed coverage. If you want anonymous entry, Dexsport offers that, but the facts do not state how many sports it covers.

Supported coins at each bookmaker

The number of supported coins varies from 5 to more than 85, depending on the platform. Dexsport supports 85+ coins across 20+ blockchains. Cloudbet supports 30+. Stake supports 21. Thunderpick lists 5 — BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT, XRP — with “and more” in the source, so the exact total is unclear.

More coins means more flexibility in how you move money in and out. For players in the Netherlands, the choice of coin can also affect transaction fees and speed, but the facts here do not cover those details. What the facts do show is that Dexsport’s coin list is the largest by a wide margin, while Thunderpick’s is the smallest of the four.

Choosing based on what the facts actually show

Dexsport is the only site in this comparison with a clear no-KYC entry. Cloudbet offers partial KYC, and Stake requires level 2 verification before any withdrawal. Thunderpick has instant withdrawals and a Curacao licence, but its sports coverage is esports-focused.

The trade-off is between anonymity and breadth of sports. Dexsport gives anonymous entry and the widest coin support. Stake gives the widest sports coverage but demands KYC before withdrawals. Cloudbet sits between them on KYC. Thunderpick is the instant-withdrawal option for esports bettors.
