Score History
Timeline events are AI-curated from public reporting. Score trajectory is derived from documented events.
Roobet launches as a small crypto-only casino built around its provably fair original game Crash, serving what its co-founder later called a small, quiet community. The Belize and Curacao entities behind it disclose little about ownership, but marketing is modest and there is little evidence yet of the practices that defined later eras.
Competitor CSGOEmpire exposes Roobet's sponsored streams as played with inflated, non-withdrawable balances, as Roobet spends heavily on streamers, flying FaZe Banks, Adin Ross and others to Mexico. Raw Entertainment B.V. takes over in April 2021. Coffeezilla's 'House of Cards' series alleges a hidden owner, a player reports a failed self-exclusion, and the one-day Astralis deal in 2022 shows the conflict of sponsoring in unlicensed markets.
Twitch bans streams of unlicensed casinos, naming Roobet, and Roobet moves its streamers to Kick while adding a BETBY sportsbook and celebrity marketing: Canelo Alvarez, Snoop Dogg as 'Chief Ganjaroo Officer' and branded games, and UFC's official social casino via Roobet.fun. The April 2024 Roobet 2.0 relaunch drops wagering requirements on RooWards rebates, and Roobet adds VPN detection in June 2024 and a direct Curacao licence under the new law.
Chelsea FC names Roobet its betting partner for Latin America and Canada, taking its brand into mainstream football. India's ASCI says it will report Roobet over illegal ads that misused the UPI brand, CyberCriminal.com alleges fake DMCA takedowns of critical coverage, and a player's deletion request lapses after a 48-hour cooling-off. Roobet Labs opens its game APIs to indie developers.
Nadeshot's Roobet deal opens a wave of signings of American creators and esports teams (OpTic's Scump and H3CZ, 100 Thieves, TimTheTatman, Lacy on a $200,000 Roobet-funded balance), streamed from outside the US, while the Snoop Dogg deal ends. Trustpilot hides Roobet's rating over fake reviews, Roobet adds Polymarket-powered prediction markets, and it keeps taking rupee deposits from India after the country's 2025 ban.
Alternatives
The largest crypto casino, with broader game diversity and a built-in poker room launched in 2024. Operates under a similar Curacao license with comparable geo-restrictions. Easy switch since crypto casino accounts are independent, but not a meaningful upgrade.
Crypto casino with 10,000+ games and provably fair original titles. Its former Curacao operating companies were declared bankrupt by a Curacao court in November 2024 over unpaid player winnings, and it has since moved to an Anjouan license. Easy switch but carries greater operational risk.

Roobet Launches as Crypto-Only Casino
Roobet launches as a small crypto casino with a handful of house games and what co-founder Matt Duea later called 'a small, quiet, sleepy community'.

CSGOEmpire Exposes Roobet's Fake Bet Practices
Competitor CSGOEmpire publishes a detailed blog post documenting how Roobet pays streamers to gamble with fake, non-withdrawable money.

Raw Entertainment B.V. Takes Over Roobet Under Curacao License
Curacao-registered Raw Entertainment B.V. becomes Roobet's owner from April 2021, operating it under a Curacao gaming license from the island's old master-license/sublicense system, which offered minimal oversight.
