Cloudbet reveals bitcoiners starting to back Wimbledon outsiders
More bets coming in for Veronika Kudermetova, Daniil Medvedev
Leading crypto sportsbook Cloudbet reveals that some bitcoin bettors are backing Wimbledon outsiders Veronika Kudermetova and Daniil Medvedev as they search for value outside the tournament favorites.
The surprise move this past week at Cloudbet was for Kudermetova, the WTA’s 12th-ranked player. The Russian accounted for 29% of new bets placed by Cloudbet players in that time on who will win the Wimbledon women’s title, data from the operator show.
In the men’s draw, 20% of new bets have gone for Medvedev, even though the former world No. 1 has yet to fully prove himself at Wimbledon. Unsurprisingly, Carlos Alcaraz snagged 29% of new bets on the men’s title after the 20-year-old wunderkind’s Queen’s Club victory last weekend.
Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek remain the firm men’s and women’s title favorites, respectively, Cloudbet odds show. Swiatek, the top ranked WTA player, got almost as many new bets as Kudermetova on Cloudbet.
“It’s clear who the favorites are, but if you’re betting on Wimbledon, you want to maximize your profits by backing an underdog or two,” a Cloudbet spokesperson said. “The search for value is on and that’s why we’re seeing some of these interesting moves in the market.”
Kudermetova’s tournament winner line has narrowed significantly in the past week after she toppled the more fancied Aryna Sabalenka at the Berlin Open. Kudermetova has had a solid year, progressing to three major semi finals and one final in 2023.
Medvedev’s tournament line has widened this past week after he lost in the quarterfinal round of the Terra Wortman Open in Halle, Germany.
“In a year in which Medvedev has won the Miami Open and the Italian Open, his current odds may represent good value for money,” the Cloudbet spokesperson said.
Line movements over past week:
- Veronika Kudermetova 31.3 (+3030) from 38.9 (+3790)
- Daniil Medvedev 15.2 (+1420) from 9.35 (+835)
- Carlos Alcaraz 4.06 (+306) from 4.55 (+355)
- Novak Djokovic 1.58 (-172) from 1.61 (-164)
- Iga Swiatek 4.35 (+335) from 4.8 (+380)

Global crypto entertainment brand BC.GAME has been named “Best Crypto Casino 2025” at the SiGMA Central Europe B2C Awards, held this year in Rome. The result has been published via SiGMA’s official channels and industry media, with BC.GAME listed among the winners in the cryptocasino operator category.
As part of the SiGMA Central Europe 2025 event in early November, the B2C Awards focused on operators that have shown notable performance in online entertainment and sports betting over the past year. The “Best CryptoCasino 2025” category is specifically dedicated to platforms built around crypto assets as a core feature of their offering.
According to award-related communications and public review sources, BC.GAME’s recognition is linked to its integration of crypto payments, multi-vertical product line-up and ongoing development in Web3-oriented use cases. Several third-party reviews have highlighted BC.GAME as a representative example of a platform that supports multiple cryptocurrencies, combines casino and sports content, and designs features with on-chain users in mind.
BC.GAME noted that the award serves as a form of interim feedback on the platform’s long-term commitment to the crypto segment. The company plans to continue improving the user experience around crypto payments, cross-device product performance and content operations, while expanding sports and esports-related partnerships in markets where such activities are permitted by local regulation.
As a crypto-native operator, BC.GAME incorporates mechanisms such as provably fair verification into its product design and combines these with a native token and promotional structures to deliver an integrated casino and sports experience for crypto community users. With continued nominations and awards within the SiGMA framework and other international programmes, BC.GAME is increasingly regarded as a long-term player in the crypto entertainment vertical.

Compliance Updates
Romania Bans Polymarket Over Illegal Cryptocurrency Betting Activities
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Romania’s National Office for Gambling (ONJN) has officially blacklisted Polymarket, a prominent prediction market that allows users to bet on future events, citing its operation as an unlicensed gambling platform. The decision comes amid heightened concerns over crypto-based betting during recent election cycles, where Polymarket reportedly saw trading volumes surpassing $600 million.
ONJN asserts that Polymarket’s “counterpart betting” model – where users wager against each other on future outcomes – falls squarely within the scope of Romanian gambling regulations. The regulator clarified that regardless of whether bets are placed using fiat currency or cryptocurrencies, they are legal gambling activities that require appropriate licensing. ONJN President Vlad-Cristian Soare emphasised that the issue is about compliance with the law, not technology, stating, “It’s about the law, not the platform’s blockchain foundation.”
Although Polymarket promotes itself as an “event trading” platform, ONJN concluded that its operational structure – where users place bets on the outcomes of unpredictable events and the platform earns commissions – meets the legal criteria of gambling. Consequently, Romanian internet providers are now mandated to block access to the platform.
