Casino-X has one confirmed sister site: RamenBet. Both are run by the same Curaçao company, Katch Up N.V., under the same gambling licence, OGL/2024/863/0412. JoyCasino is marketed alongside them by the same affiliate programme, but we could not independently confirm it shares that licence.
Katch Up N.V. runs Casino-X and RamenBet on one licence
We checked the Curaçao Gaming Authority’s own certificate lookup, not a casino review site. It says, word for word, that RamenBet.com “is operated by Katch Up N.V., a company incorporated under the laws of Curaçao with Company Number 131629” and licensed “under license number OGL/2024/863/0412.” That is the exact same company name, the exact same company number, and the exact same licence number that Curaçao’s official online gaming licence registry lists for Casino-X. Two different sites, one owner, one licence. That is as solid as this kind of proof gets, because it comes straight from the regulator, not from either casino’s own marketing.
We could not pull Casino-X’s own certificate page directly, because a search for it kept pointing to an unrelated site with a similar name. Instead we matched Casino-X against Curaçao’s official PDF licence register, which lists Katch Up N.V. under licence OGL/2024/863/0412 and company number 131629. That is a government record, and it is the same match found on RamenBet’s own certificate. Together, these two official checks are what confirm RamenBet as a genuine sister site.
JoyCasino shows up in the same affiliate programme, but the licence match isn’t proven
Casino-X, JoyCasino and RamenBet all appear together as the three brands listed on PoshFriends, which markets itself as the affiliate programme for these casinos. That is a real, named affiliate programme, and it is a decent clue that the same business group runs all three. But an affiliate programme page is not a government record, and we could not get JoyCasino’s own certificate to read a licence number or company number off it directly, because the domain we were able to check turned out to belong to a completely different, unrelated casino with a similar name and a different owner. That mix-up is exactly the kind of trap that makes name-based checks unreliable, and it is why we are not calling JoyCasino a fully confirmed sister here. Treat it as likely, backed by the shared affiliate programme, but not backed by a matching licence the way RamenBet is.
A Cloudflare block page is not the same as a closed casino
Try to load Casino-X’s own terms page with an automated tool and you get a Cloudflare page that says “Sorry, you have been blocked.” That looks alarming if you don’t know what it is. It is an anti-bot wall, not a sign the casino has shut down. Cloudflare blocks are common on gambling sites because operators don’t want scrapers, bots or scripts pulling their pages apart. A real visitor using a normal browser from an accepted country lands on the actual casino, not this wall. The same goes for RamenBet, which blocked our checking tools with a plain message about country restrictions rather than a bot wall, and even named several countries where it is available. Both are working, licensed, live casinos.
Casino-X’s games and live dealer floor come from well-known suppliers
Casino-X’s own affiliate marketing describes a very large slot and table game library, put at over 8,000 games, pulled from a long list of well-known studios rather than one exclusive supplier. Names on that list include Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt, Microgaming, Playson, Quickspin, Yggdrasil, Red Tiger, Relax Gaming and several dozen more. Live dealer tables run through Evolution, which is the biggest name in live casino streaming and is used by hundreds of unrelated casinos worldwide, so it is not evidence of who owns Casino-X, just a sign of the games on offer.
- Slots and table games from dozens of studios, not one house supplier
- Live dealer tables powered by Evolution
- Desktop apps for Windows and Mac plus a mobile-friendly site
We could not get past Casino-X’s own bot wall to check exact deposit and withdrawal limits, or time it takes to pull out crypto winnings, ourselves. Where we can’t confirm a number first-hand, we are leaving it out rather than guessing.
RamenBet runs on the same games and payment backbone
RamenBet is the newer of the two confirmed sites, launched in 2023, against Casino-X’s 2012 start date. The same affiliate marketing material that lists RamenBet alongside Casino-X states plainly that RamenBet shares the same games and payment set-up as Casino-X, rather than running its own separate system. That fits with what a shared operator would be expected to do: build the plumbing once, then launch a second brand with a different look and a different target audience on top of it.
When we tried to reach RamenBet directly, its own site blocked us with a message naming Luxembourg, Japan, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Belarus and Moldova as places where it is available. That was described as only “some of the regions,” not the full list, and it did not name the United States, Australia or Canada either way. We could not get past that same block to check further, so if you’re playing from one of those three countries, confirm directly with RamenBet’s own support chat before you deposit anything.
Getting money in and out, including crypto
Casino-X’s own affiliate marketing lists a wide crypto and card spread: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Toncoin, Ripple, BinanceCoin, Tether and USD Coin sit alongside Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, bank transfer and a handful of e-wallets. Solana is also accepted, based on what we could already confirm about the brand before this check. Crypto deposits on sites like this usually clear faster than a card or bank transfer, since there’s no bank in the middle to slow things down, though Casino-X does not publish a guaranteed payout time we could verify directly, so treat any number you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until the cashier page tells you otherwise.
Currencies on offer reportedly include US dollars, Australian dollars and Canadian dollars alongside the euro and several crypto units, which matters if you’re playing from the US, Australia or Canada and don’t want your balance converted every time you look at it. Ohio is specifically blocked for Casino-X, based on what was already established before this check. We couldn’t confirm whether that same Ohio block applies to RamenBet, so don’t assume it does or doesn’t.
ID checks and which countries can play
We were not able to reach either site’s own verification or terms page to describe exactly what documents get asked for, or how long a payout review takes once you’ve sent them. Curaçao-licensed casinos in general ask for photo ID and proof of address before your first big withdrawal, and it’s normal to be asked again if you change your payment method. Beyond that general pattern, we are not going to guess at specifics for Casino-X or RamenBet that we could not read ourselves. If ID checks worry you, ask support what they need before you deposit, not after you try to withdraw.
Why Casino-X’s paperwork changed in 2024 and 2025
The licence number tied to both Casino-X and RamenBet, OGL/2024/863/0412, sits under the National Ordinance on Games of Chance that Curaçao brought in to replace its old system of master licences handed out by a handful of sub-licensing companies. Under the new set-up, the Curaçao Gaming Authority issues licences directly to a single named operator, in this case Katch Up N.V., rather than to a reseller. That is why you’ll see fresh licence numbers and fresh company names attached to older, familiar casino brands over the last couple of years. It is a paperwork change at the regulator’s end, not a sign the casino itself is new or shaky.
One thing worth being upfront about: a shared games supplier like Evolution or Pragmatic Play tells you nothing about ownership, since those studios sell to hundreds of unconnected casinos. The same goes for a shared Curaçao licence host from the old system. Only a matching operator name plus a matching company number, or a matching licence number read from the site’s own page, counts as real proof of common ownership, which is why we’re only calling RamenBet a confirmed sister here.
Genuine alternatives if you want a backup crypto casino
Because the confirmed sister list here is short, it’s worth naming a few other crypto-friendly casinos players in the US, Australia and Canada commonly compare Casino-X against. These are not sisters of Casino-X, and we are not claiming they share any owner, licence or platform with it. They’re simply other options in the same crypto casino space that you might want to weigh up separately, each with its own licence and its own terms you should read before you play.
- Large crypto-first casinos with their own dedicated coin and token support
- Other Curaçao-licensed slot and live dealer casinos aimed at crypto players
- Sportsbook-and-casino combo sites that also take Bitcoin and other coins
We’re deliberately not naming specific brands with claimed facts here that we haven’t checked the same way we checked Casino-X and RamenBet. If you want a genuine like-for-like comparison, apply the same test we used: read the operator name and licence number straight off that casino’s own terms page, not off a comparison site.
The bottom line for players in the US, Australia and Canada
Casino-X is live, just protected by a bot wall that blocks automated tools, not real players. It has one confirmed sister, RamenBet, proven by a matching company name, company number and licence number read straight from Curaçao’s own regulator. JoyCasino is marketed in the same affiliate programme but its licence match is unconfirmed, so treat it as a probable rather than a proven sister. Both confirmed sites take a wide spread of crypto alongside cards, and both are Curaçao-licensed under the same recent-style direct licence. Beyond that, verify ID rules, payout speed and your own country’s access directly with the casino before you deposit, since those are exactly the details an automated check like this one cannot pin down through a bot wall or a geo-block.
