Cloudbet integrated Swapped as a new fiat-to-crypto onramp, the operator said in a blog post dated June 13, 2025, giving players in select countries what it described as faster access to betting through local payment methods1.
The operator said Swapped supports more than 40 payment methods across more than 150 countries, with processing fees starting at 1% and a minimum deposit of $8 or local equivalent1. A summary table in the same post lists a flat 1.75% fee structure, instant transaction speed and localized currency support by region1. The two fee figures appear in the same post and are not reconciled there.
Named methods include the following1:
- E-wallets: AstroPay, Skrill and Neteller
- Mobile wallets: GCash, Maya, Touch 'n Go, GoPay and Zalo
- Bank transfers in currencies including EUR, BRL, TRY, DKK and MYR
- Instant payment systems: PIX (Brazil), PromptPay (Thailand), Blik (Poland) and UPI (India)
- Prepaid or voucher options: Paysafecard, Multibanco and Rapid Transfer
Cloudbet said crypto is received instantly after payment and that no wallet setup is required1.
"Cloudbet has integrated Swapped as a new fiat-to-crypto onramp, giving players in select countries faster access to betting through local payment methods like AstroPay, Skrill, and Neteller."
The post does not list which countries are included or excluded, and Cloudbet has not reported a full country list for the integration1. It also does not state which cryptocurrencies can be bought through Swapped or whether the onramp is available to existing accounts as well as new ones1.
What it means for players
For players in the countries Swapped covers, the change adds a route into a crypto betting account that does not require buying crypto elsewhere first. Deposits can be made in local currency through regional methods, including UPI in India, GCash and Maya in the Philippines, PromptPay in Thailand and Touch 'n Go in Malaysia, rather than by card or bank transfer to an exchange1.
The stated minimum of $8 or local equivalent is low relative to many card and bank deposit floors, which matters for smaller deposits. Fees are the main variable: the post cites processing fees starting at 1% and a flat 1.75% in its own table, so the amount charged may depend on the method or region chosen1. Cloudbet says fees are shown before payment1.
Availability is the open question. The post says "select countries" without naming them, so players outside the covered markets may not see Swapped at checkout1. Nothing in the post addresses identity checks, limits or how withdrawals work once funds are held as crypto; those details have not been reported1.
What happens next
No further dates, rollout stages or country expansions are given in the post1. Cloudbet directs players to a support article on buying crypto with Swapped on Cloudbet1.
For background on how these deposits work, see how crypto deposits and withdrawals work at gambling sites and the wider gambling payments in Asia guide, including UPI vs crypto deposits for Indian players and GCash vs crypto for Philippine players. Details of the operator are in the Cloudbet review.
