What Duelbits is
Duelbits is a crypto casino and sportsbook, not a sweepstakes platform. Real-money gambling, licensed by the Curacao Gaming Control Board (license {{license_number}}), operated by Liquid Entertainment N.V. out of Curacao. It launched in 2020 and has since built up 5000 games, a functional sportsbook, and a VIP structure with actual published numbers. Worth understanding before anything else.
US players are blocked. All 50 states. If you're in the US you're out of luck here, same as with Stake and most other offshore crypto casinos. The prohibited list is comprehensive and includes essentially every US state.
Games and providers
5000 games is a large number. Provider lineup covers Duelbits Originals (provably fair proprietary games), Pragmatic Play slots library, Evolution Gaming live dealer tables, Nolimit City high-volatility slots, Hacksaw Gaming titles, which is a solid cross-section of the major studios: Pragmatic Play for volume, Evolution for live tables, Nolimit City and Hacksaw for high-variance slots, Relax and Push Gaming for mid-tier variety.
The live dealer section runs 300+ tables including roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and game-show formats. VIP and high-limit tables are available. This part of the platform is powered by Evolution, which is the standard for serious live play.
Duelbits also has Originals: in-house provably fair games. These are not as extensive as what Shuffle or Roobet run, but they exist. Crash, Dice, and a few others. Provably fair means you can verify the outcomes yourself, which matters if you're serious about fairness.
The sportsbook covers major leagues with live betting and event-based promotions. Duelbits has had visibility from sports partnerships (Aston Villa FC, Conor McGregor) though not all of those sponsorships are currently active in every market.
Bonuses and VIP
The Rookie Rush welcome offer is structured as a multi-stage unlock: deposit, wager, and progressively unlock up to 500 free spins plus {{first_purchase_bonus}} in free bets. The key detail is that winnings from the free spins have no wagering requirement. That's genuinely better than the industry default, where spins typically come with a 30-40x playthrough attached.
The $1,000 total wagering threshold to unlock all spins is a real commitment. That's not a trivial amount to cycle through. Factor that into your expectations before claiming.
Ongoing promotions include Daily Casino Challenges and leaderboard events. The Ace Lounge is the rewards hub, accessible from day one.
The VIP structure is the most interesting part of Duelbits's value proposition. Instant rakeback starts at 10%, with an additional 5% returned daily, 5% weekly, and 5% monthly from house edge on your wagers. That adds up to 25% total rakeback for consistent players, which is competitive. Most crypto casinos either hide the rakeback rate or gate it behind high-tier status. Duelbits puts the numbers out front.
The referral program pays the referrer 2.5% of house edge from referred players' wagers, scaling to 10% after 5 active referrals. The referred player gets nothing directly, which makes it less compelling than mutual sign-up programs at competitors.
Banking and payouts
Duelbits accepts BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT, and other cryptocurrencies plus fiat deposits via Visa, Mastercard, and Skrill. Withdrawals are crypto-only. If you deposited fiat, you'll need a crypto wallet to get money out. That's a friction point for players who aren't already set up with a wallet.
Minimum withdrawal is $10-$50 crypto depending on the coin. Payout time is listed as Instant - 30 min for crypto, which is in line with what most crypto casinos offer for blockchain-based transfers.
Here's where it gets complicated. Trustpilot shows a 3.4/5 rating from around 310 reviews at the time of writing. The split is hard: fast deposits and game variety get praised, but KYC enforcement on withdrawals shows up repeatedly as a problem. AskGamblers documents complaints about blocked withdrawals and frozen accounts. This pattern is common among Curacao-licensed operators, but it's more persistent here than at cleaner-reputation platforms.
If your account gets flagged for verification, resolution can drag. Support is reachable via live chat and support@duelbits.com, but response quality on complex issues seems inconsistent based on the complaints logged publicly.
Licensing and ownership
Duelbits holds a new-format Curacao Gaming Control Board license (OGL/2024/1507/0838) under the reformed regulatory framework. This is a step up from the old Curacao sub-license model, which was essentially unmonitored. The GCB has been tightening its requirements since 2023, so this license carries more weight than the old 365/JAZ sub-licenses that many shady operators used to hide behind.
Operated by Liquid Entertainment N.V.incorporated in Curacao. Sportsbits.com is an alternative domain for the same platform, used for SEO or regional purposes. It's not a separate casino.
Who this is for
Crypto players outside the US who want a high-volume game library, a live dealer section powered by Evolution, and a VIP program that publishes its rakeback rates. The Rookie Rush spins are a decent entry point if you're already planning to wager. Not for casual players who want to deposit fiat and cash out quickly without dealing with a crypto wallet setup.
If KYC issues concern you, read the AskGamblers complaints first. The pattern is real, even if most withdrawals go through without problems.
PLEASE DO NOT GAMBLE WITH MONEY THAT YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE. Gambling is not a money making method and you will lose in the long run.
