Scored on 5 criteria with published weights — see the methodology page.
Dexsport lets you enter with a Web3 wallet and no identity check, while Sportsbet requires some form of verification and holds a Curacao eGaming licence. The two platforms sit at opposite ends of the same trade-off: one removes the account layer entirely, the other keeps a conventional account structure and the checks that come with it.
What each platform asks of you before you can bet
Dexsport's stated position is that entry is anonymous, done through a Web3 wallet. There is no KYC step described in its documentation. That does not mean the platform is unlicensed — Dexsport operates under a licence held by Dexapp LTD, issued in Anjouan. An Anjouan licence is a real registration, but it is not the same class of oversight as a European or UK regulator, and it does not come with a national dispute-resolution scheme behind it.
Sportsbet holds a Curacao eGaming licence. Its KYC is described as partial: checks are requested more often than at Stake or Cloudbet. Partial means the platform decides when to ask, and the practical consequence for a bettor is that a withdrawal can stall at the moment verification is triggered. You will not know in advance which withdrawal will be the one that gets flagged.
Stake, for comparison, requires level 2 verification before any withdrawal — a stricter rule, but a predictable one. Cloudbet applies checks only when required. The pattern across the market is that anonymity at the deposit stage and anonymity at the withdrawal stage are not the same promise, and the second one is the one that matters.
Coins, networks and how fast money moves
Dexsport supports 85+ coins across 20+ blockchains. That breadth is the platform's main structural difference from every competitor here: Sportsbet supports 13 coins (BTC, ETH, USDT and 10+ others), Stake supports 21, Cloudbet supports 30+, and Thunderpick supports 5 (BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT, XRP and more).
Wider coin coverage cuts both ways. It reduces the chance that you have to convert before depositing, and it increases the number of networks you can accidentally pick wrong. A deposit sent on a network the platform does not credit is not recoverable by anyone — there is no support desk that can reverse a confirmed on-chain transaction.
Withdrawal speed is documented for two of the platforms in this comparison. Sportsbet processes withdrawals in under 30 minutes on Bitcoin. Stake takes 0–2 days after approval. Thunderpick is described as instant. Dexsport's withdrawal timing is not stated in the source material, so no figure is given here.
Markets: how many sports each one actually covers
Sportsbet covers 4 sports: football, basketball, tennis, esports. Stake covers 30, including football, basketball, tennis, baseball, hockey and esports. Cloudbet covers 5: football, basketball, tennis, MMA, esports. Thunderpick is esports-focused with limited traditional sports, covering 3.
The count is a rough signal, not a verdict. A platform listing 30 sports may carry thin markets on most of them, and a platform listing 4 may price those 4 deeply. What the numbers do tell you is where each operator puts its effort. Sportsbet's list is short and centred on the highest-volume categories. Stake's list is broad. Thunderpick's is deliberately narrow.
For anyone betting outside football, basketball, tennis and esports, Sportsbet's coverage is the binding constraint. That is a factual limit, not a criticism — but it is worth knowing before you open an account rather than after.
These scores describe published conditions. What happens to your deposit depends on rules only the platform itself can tell you.

Where the risk actually sits for a Netherlands-based bettor
Neither Dexsport nor Sportsbet is described in the source material as holding a Dutch licence. The Netherlands has a licensed market regulated under the Kansspelautoriteit, and playing with an operator outside that framework means you have no access to the Dutch complaints and addiction-care infrastructure that licensed operators must connect to. That applies equally to both platforms in this comparison, and to Stake, Cloudbet and Thunderpick as well.
The second risk is specific to anonymity. Dexsport's no-KYC entry removes the friction of uploading documents, and it also removes the paper trail that a conventional operator keeps. If a dispute arises over a settled market, a voided bet, or a wallet connection that goes wrong, there is no verified account record to point to. Whether that trade is worth it depends on how much you value not being identified against how much recourse you want when something breaks.
The third risk is the licence itself
