Oddly Likely verdict
Start with the number that actually matters: zero of our verified partners list Monero as a deposit or withdrawal option. Cloudbet's own crypto transaction fees page runs a documented table for more than a dozen other coins down to Dogecoin and Ripple, and it does not include Monero. Stake's own acceptable-networks article — the page that names every chain Stake settles, BNB Smart Chain and native Solana included — doesn't name it either. This isn't a partner quietly declining to publish a fee table; it's an absence from the lists that document everything else those partners carry.
The likely reason sits in what Monero actually is. Monero's own project site describes it as a currency built to keep transactions private and untraceable by default — every other coin our partners list, from Bitcoin to Solana to Cardano, runs a public ledger where any transaction can be traced address to address. That structural difference is exactly the property licensed, KYC-run exchanges and payment processors have grown cautious about listing, and it shows up here as an absence rather than a stated policy: nobody in our verified partner set is refusing Monero on the record, it simply isn't in the coin lists they publish. If you're funding a bet today, the coins on this board with the deepest documented coverage — Bitcoin and Solana — are the ones to use instead.
What stands out
- The strongest privacy design of any coin this board tracks — Monero's own project site describes transactions as private and untraceable by default, with no separate privacy mode to remember to enable.
- Marketed by its own project as low-fee and directly exchangeable peer-to-peer, independent of any single exchange's rails.
- A genuinely different technical answer to 'private, decentralized cryptocurrency' than anything else on this board — every other coin here runs a public, traceable ledger.
Watch points
- Zero verified partners in this review currently list Monero for deposit or withdrawal — not BetOnline, ThunderPick, SportsBetting, Polymarket, Cloudbet or Stake.
- Cloudbet's and Stake's own supported-coin documentation — the same pages that document fees for the other dozen-plus coins on this board — omit Monero entirely, which reads as a deliberate coin-list decision, not a documentation gap.
- The privacy properties that make Monero distinctive are also the property licensed, KYC-driven exchanges and payment processors have grown cautious about listing — expect that gap to persist rather than close on its own.
- If a betting site anywhere claims to accept Monero, it is not one of our verified partners and carries none of the documentation standard this review applies — treat it as unverified.
The honest verdict: Monero doesn't have a betting page in the normal sense, because it doesn't have a single verified partner — if XMR's privacy design is the point, hold it outside your bankroll and fund your account with a coin this board can actually document.

Monero FAQ
Does any betting site accept Monero (XMR)?
Not among our verified partners. BetOnline, ThunderPick, SportsBetting, Polymarket, Cloudbet and Stake all publish coin lists for other cryptocurrencies, and none of them name Monero on the deposit or withdrawal side.
Why don't betting sites support Monero?
No verified partner states a reason on the record, but the pattern lines up with the coin itself: Monero is built to keep transactions private and untraceable by default, which is the exact property that licensed, KYC-run exchanges and payment processors tend to treat cautiously. The result reads as an absence from published coin lists rather than a stated block.
Is Monero safe for betting?
The question doesn't really apply yet — there's no verified partner rail to route it through, so there's nothing on this board to assess for safety. Monero's own project site speaks to the coin's privacy design, but that's a statement about the currency, not about any bookmaker's cashier.
What should I use instead of Monero to fund a betting account?
The coins on this board with the deepest verified coverage: Bitcoin and Solana. See best crypto betting sites for the full ranked list of coins our partners actually document.
