Mike Tyson remains favourite, but Cloudbet customers turn their backs on Saturday’s boxing circus

Savvy bettors shun Tyson vs Jones Jnr exhibition
Value of Cloudbet’s market so far less than 1% of McGregor vs Mayweather fight
Celebrity undercard bout featuring Disney star Jake Paul and ex NBA point guard Nate Robinson attracts 12x number of bets
Almost 50x amount of money wagered on Paul v Robinson than on Tyson v Jones with the bitcoin betting pioneers

The Covid-hit sports calendar of 2020 might have thrown up a number of surprise hits with global betting enthusiasts but it seems the forthcoming Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jnr bout is not destined to be one of them.

Belarussian football, Taiwanese basketball, League of Legends… at different times, these all caught fire with sports bettors, but this high-profile boxing exhibition seems unable to land a knockout punch. Back in 2017 the match-up between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jnr, hyped as “The biggest fight in combat sport history”, or more simply, “The Money Fight”, totally lived up to its billing, making it the biggest betting event in Cloudbet’s history by number of players.

Fight promoters Triller, a social media app spending millions to try and compete with Tik Tok, hoped to replicate this excitement, and gave it a whopping $49.99 pay per view price tag. But bettors think you must be punchdrunk to get involved, likening it to that Tiger Woods vs Phil Mickelson PPV head-to-head back in 2018, which proved a waste of time for all except the two golfers, who netted a huge payday.

Roy Jones Jnr’s team has been bigging up their man’s fitness and “evolution” as a fighter, while Tyson, who last set foot in the ring in 2005, claims his recent persona of a weed-smoking peacenik will be a distant memory the second he gets his gloves on. But, with both Tyson and Jones Jnr the other side of 50, the fight is being held on special exhibition rules – such as “hard sparring” only, no knockouts and the threat of just a cut precipitating an immediate stop from the referee – the only thing to look out for is if these two legends of the ring remember they’re not supposed to be fighting for real.

The bout between the two aging ex-heavyweight world champions takes place on Saturday at Staples Centre, Los Angeles, on a bizarre card which also features a former NBA star, Nate Robinson, facing YouTuber-turned- Disney Channel star (and Triller investor) Jake Paul.

Cloudbet’s customer base just aren’t buying into this seniors’ day out and haven’t spent much time searching for Tyson vs Jones odds. Twelve times the number of bets have been taken on the Jake Paul vs Nate Robinson fight, with almost 50 x as much turnover in this market, compared with wagers on Tyson vs Jones Jnr.

Founded in 2013, Cloudbet is one of the world’s longest established bitcoin betting operators, and will be running winner’s and total rounds markets on this fight and its undercards. Besides bitcoin, Cloudbet accepts ethereum, bitcoin cash and a number of stablecoins including USD Tether and USD Circle.

New customers gagging for bitcoin odds for boxing can get a bet on Tyson or Jones Jnr through an easy sign-up process and on-site cryptocurrency purchases with a credit card. Iron Mike is favored, by the way, at 1.53 (- 187).

So why have these two legendary boxers agreed to something that could leave their reputations on the ropes? Another ex-champion George Foreman has been in the media saying he thinks he knows. “It’s temporary insanity. I liken it to a guy who wants to get on a boat and go out to sea. It seems like so much fun, so peaceful, so he wants to get out there and do it. Then he gets out there and the big waves start coming and the sea is rough and it’s raining and the wind is blowing and he asks himself: “Lord, why did I ever do this?”

Anyone stumping up the $49.99 fee to watch this may well end up asking themselves the same question.

Cloudbet Adds ELA Games to Its Casino Roster in Latest Move to Diversify Content for Global Crypto Players

cloudbet-adds-ela-games-to-its-casino-roster-in-latest-move-to-diversify-content-for-global-crypto-players

Cloudbet, the world’s longest-running crypto casino and sportsbook, has added ELA Games to its casino content roster, bringing new titles to its crypto casino lobby, adding 16 new titles to Cloudbet’s slots catalogue. The Malta-certified studio, founded in 2022, joins a supplier lineup that Cloudbet actively curates to keep its catalogue varied and its players finding new content to explore.

Operational since 2013 and supporting more than 30 cryptocurrencies, Cloudbet has built one of the broadest casino and sportsbook products in crypto gaming. Its approach to supplier selection pairs established providers for depth with challenger studios for variety and discovery. Crypto casino players tend to be internationally mobile and highly engaged with the full lobby rather than a fixed handful of titles — which means the range and freshness of available content carries more weight than it does on a conventional fiat platform. ELA Games, certified across MGA, Sweden, Denmark, Greece, and Romania, and with a catalogue that has expanded consistently since 2022, fits the profile Cloudbet looks for.

ELA Games has moved quickly since its founding. In four years the studio has built a catalogue that spans Latin American festivals, East Asian mythology, maritime adventure, and classic fruit formats — thematically diverse in a market where many studio portfolios default to the same handful of settings. The 16 titles now live on Cloudbet represent the studio’s most-played content, selected by performance. More titles are expected to appear in Cloudbet’s new casino releases as the content relationship develops.

“Our players explore. They don’t default to the same handful of titles; they go looking for something new. ELA Games has built a catalogue with genuine range, and that’s exactly the kind of studio we want in the lobby.” — Cloudbet Spokesperson

Featured Titles

Four titles from the current catalogue:

Piñatas Festival

The most-played title in ELA’s catalogue. A Latin American festival theme on a 5×3 grid where a Collector Symbol charges the piñatas across the base game until they burst into a Hold & Win bonus round. Coloured coins trigger Grow Reels — pushing the grid from 3×5 to 5×5 — alongside multipliers and extra respins, and multiple features can land in the same round. RTP 94%, medium volatility, max 5,000×.

Riches Express

A gold train heist slot built around an escalating bonus structure. Coin drops from the train trigger Hold & Win, where four distinct train types arrive with different features and three locked rows must be opened to summon the Golden Train. Completing the reels unlocks four jackpot tiers. Scatter symbols activate Free Spins. RTP 94.03%, high volatility, 35 paylines, max 5,000×.

Wealth of the East

An Eastern celebration slot where God Fu’s twenty-sided dice activates Fortune Coins, revealing multipliers or triggering instant jackpots. Coins collect into a golden pot that, once full, opens a Hold & Win vault for 3 respins. The Imperial Lotus symbol can boost multiple prizes simultaneously. Grand Jackpot sits at 1,000×. RTP 93.97%, mid volatility, released January 2026, max 5,000×.

Kraken Coins

The sequel to ELA’s SBC-nominated Kraken Bay. A 3×3 high-volatility slot where landing 3 symbols on the middle row triggers Hold & Win. Random multipliers up to 4× apply during the bonus, and collecting all 9 symbols unlocks a Grand Jackpot of 500× total bet. RTP 95.3%, max 5,000×. Marked new in the Cloudbet lobby.

Cloudbet Gives March Madness Fans a Chance to Win Bitcoin

“Cloudbet Madness” promotion combines tipping competition, lucky draws
Premier U.S. college basketball tournament starts this week

Cloudbet, the pioneering crypto sportsbook, is offering basketball fans a chance to win bitcoin through a bold new March Madness competition.

“Cloudbet Madness” combines a tipping competition with two lucky draws, and is aimed at players betting on the premier event of the U.S. men’s college basketball calendar.

In the first phase of the competition, eligible players predict which teams will make the Sweet 16 round – with the best forecasters banking a slice of the US$5000 bitcoin prize pool into their Cloudbet accounts. The next two phases feature lucky draws, in which eligible participants stand to win an Elite Eight team jersey and more bitcoin bonuses from the prize pool following the Championship round.

Founded in 2013, Cloudbet established itself as one of the world’s leading bitcoin betting operators, with a reputation built on unparalleled security and speedy withdrawals. Its March Madness competition comes at a time when demand is surging for bitcoin amid large-scale purchases from investment firms and from companies including Tesla and Square. Bitcoin is trading at about 10 times its price a year ago – with some firms still forecasting the coin’s value to at least triple in coming months.

“We welcome anyone who’s into March Madness bitcoin betting,” a Cloudbet spokesperson said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a Gonzaga or Michigan fan.”

The operator is also running “Buzzer Beater Bonanza,” whereby it will grade losing moneyline and 1×2 bets during the tournament as wins if the loss results from a last-second shot by the game winners. As it strives to offer the best bitcoin sportsbook for March Madness, the Cloudbet site will highlight the operator’s well-known “zero margin” bets on some games, meaning it will essentially charge no fees to take on the risk of a player’s wager.

Cloudbet’s sportsbook has made a name for itself with its low-margin odds on a multitude of markets around the world, while the Cloudbet casino has hundreds of slots and a live-dealer experience with all classic table games.

The operator now supports nine cryptocurrencies. Six of those coins were launched in 2020, a milestone year in which Cloudbet revamped its website and added features including esports, politics betting, virtual sports, social-media bet sharing and easy credit-card coin purchases.

The Cloudbet Story

Cloudbet is a proud pioneer of crypto betting. Born in 2013 with a trailblazing spirit, Cloudbet embraced blockchain technology to give players privacy and financial freedom like never before. Since then, the site has taken millions of bets, earning a reputation as the most trusted and secure name in the crypto-gaming space.

The operator continues to innovate, having just completed a banner year of new features and upgrades aimed at attracting a more diverse audience to what was once a bitcoin-only product. In 2020, Cloudbet launched a revamped website followed by a record six new cryptocurrencies, esports, politics betting, virtual sports, social bet sharing, and easy credit-card coin purchases.

The site now supports nine coins that collectively account for about 80% of the total market capitalisation of all cryptocurrencies. What’s more, Cloudbet is now available in 20 languages including Spanish, German, Italian, French and Korean.

The new features add to those that have made Cloudbet a trusted leader in the world of crypto gaming: the best sports odds, the highest betting limits, a state-of-the-art bitcoin casino and world-class 24/7 live chat customer support.
