About Us

Housebets is a crypto-first casino and sportsbook built around a simple idea: part of the house edge comes back to the player. Launched in 2023 and operating under a Curaçao Gaming Control Board licence issued in 2024, the platform combines a full game catalogue, a structured rewards programme, and a transparent approach to how the house edge is distributed. This page explains who operates Housebets, what drives the platform, and how the core mechanics work in practice.

Who Operates Housebets

Housebets is owned and operated by Bridge Technologies B.V., registered under number 160264(0) at Dr. M.J. Hugenholtzweg 25, Willemstad, Curaçao. Fiat payment processing is handled by Bridge Technologies (Cyprus) Limited, registered as HE 440867 in Nicosia, Cyprus. The gaming licence number is OGL/2024/431/0231, issued by the Curaçao Gaming Control Board. Governing law follows the laws of Curaçao. The legal and operational framework was substantially updated in April 2026.

The GCB licence covers slots, table games, live dealer content, Housebets original games and sports betting. Fiat payment processing, the HBTS token, House Keys, and any DeFi functions sit outside the direct scope of the gaming licence.

The Core Platform Concept

The positioning is straightforward. Housebets describes itself as a platform where the house edge is shared rather than kept entirely by the operator. Fifty percent of the house edge is returned directly to players through rewards such as rakeback and lossback. The remaining fifty percent is converted into House Keys, which are the future allocation unit for the HBTS token.

This model is reflected in the live homepage campaign, which reads “House Edge, Shared.” The platform also promotes “Fully Transparent” and “Slide to Earn More” as its three core value statements. A public Live Bets feed shows game, player, bet amount, multiplier and payout in real time, which supports the transparency claim.

It is worth noting that House Keys are not withdrawable casino funds and that token value or availability is not guaranteed under the gaming licence.

What the Platform Includes

Housebets operates as a combined casino and sportsbook from a single account. The casino catalogue currently lists 3,882 games across the following categories:

• Slots: 3,763 titles
• Live Casino: 83 live dealer and game-show tables
• House Games: 16 provably fair originals, including Dice, Mines, Keno, Limbo, Plinko, Blackjack and Hilo
• Table Games, Roulette, Baccarat and Blackjack sections accessible from the main navigation

Software comes from 62 provider entries, including Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, Evolution, Nolimit City, Push Gaming, Hacksaw, Red Tiger, Yggdrasil, NetEnt and Big Time Gaming, among others.

The sportsbook is powered by BETBY and covers pre-match and in-play markets across Soccer, Horse Racing, Basketball, Tennis, Esports, NFL and Ice Hockey. Cash Out is available on eligible markets.

How the Rewards Model Works

XP is the foundation of the level system. It is normalised to a 1% house edge base. A wager of GBP 100 on a game with a 4% house edge earns 400 XP. New accounts start at Rookie status. Bronze 1 unlocks at 200 XP and guarantees at least 10% rakeback from that point.

The reward slider in the account dashboard lets players divide the direct return between rakeback and lossback on a weekly or monthly basis. The default view shows an even 50% Rakeback / 50% Lossback split.

The full tier structure runs across 43 numbered levels:

• Bronze 1-5: 200 to 5,000 XP
• Silver 1-5: 10,000 to 50,000 XP
• Gold 1-5: 100,000 to 300,000 XP
• Platinum 1-5: 500,000 to 1,500,000 XP
• Pearl 1-5: 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 XP
• Onyx 1-5: 6,500,000 to 20,000,000 XP
• Diamond 1-5: 25,000,000 to 65,000,000 XP
• Palladium 1-5: 80,000,000 to 250,000,000 XP
• Castle 1-3: 325,000,000 to 500,000,000 XP

Active promotions beyond tier rewards include Instant Rakeback, Daily Rakeback, a Weekly Wager Leaderboard, a Weekly Reload, a Monthly Wager Leaderboard and a monthly prize of GBP 10,000 shown on the homepage.

Payments and Account Access

Housebets is a crypto-first platform. Eleven cryptocurrency assets are currently supported for deposits: BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB, DOGE, LTC, POL, SHIB, TRX and SOL, each with specific network routes. The minimum deposit is GBP 10 in each selected currency. Crypto withdrawals are usually processed within minutes to 24 hours.

Full KYC is required once cumulative deposits or withdrawals reach XCG 4,000, approximately GBP 2,000. Additional AML review may apply above GBP 50,000 per withdrawal. Verification is handled through Sumsub and may include a government photo ID, proof of address, a selfie or liveness check, and source-of-funds documentation where required.

Registration is available via email or through X, Telegram or MetaMask. Players must be 18 or older and not located in a restricted jurisdiction. Only one account per player is permitted. The United Kingdom is currently a restricted jurisdiction, meaning UK residents are not eligible to register or play.

Responsible Gambling and Player Safety

Player protection tools include daily, weekly and monthly deposit, loss and wager limits, session time controls, reality-check alerts, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion options ranging from 24 hours to permanent. Limit reductions take effect immediately. Limit increases carry a cooling-off period.

External organisations referenced in the responsible gambling policy include BeGambleAware, Gambling Therapy, GamTalk, Gamblers Anonymous, BetBlocker and GamBlock.

Complaints can be submitted through live chat or by emailing support@housebets.com. If the internal process does not resolve a matter, escalation to Resolvo Curaçao or the Curaçao Gaming Control Board is available. The standard final response window is four weeks.
