Peer to peer gambling sites
The best P2P gambling sites here are the ones whose licence we found on the regulator's own register and whose cost of play is stated before you stake. They are grouped by format below, and each game guide has the full card for every site: fee, licence and the countries it will not serve.
Before the P2P formats, the casinos we work with. They are standard online casinos with crypto and card payments, listed with their welcome offer and wagering terms.
18+. New customers only, full terms on each casino's site. Offers, wagering and payment methods as listed by each casino on 27 October 2026. Amounts are converted from each casino's own currency at the European Central Bank rate and rounded, so the casino's figure in your currency may differ slightly. These are standard online casinos, not P2P sites: you play against the house. We earn a commission when you join through these links. Online casinos are not legal everywhere, so check the law where you live first.
The same word, PvP, covers very different deals. Here is how each format pays the operator and why some well-known sites are missing.
Every player buys the same bonus on the same slot and the best result takes the pot. On Rollbit the winner receives the total of everyone's bonus payouts. Each buy is still an ordinary slot bet at that slot's RTP, so the pot is smaller than the money paid in on average, whatever the battle fee.
Acebet charges nothing between players and 1% on bot payouts. Rollbit and Gamdom publish no separate battle fee and earn from the slot edge. Seats are not always people: Acebet and Gamdom let you fill seats with bots, and on Rollbit battles of $100 or more can call Rollbot, a staff member buying on the house's behalf.

CSGOEmpire is the only case-battle operator whose licence we could verify, on the Curaçao Gaming Authority certificate. Its coinflip takes 0.5% of the winnings and its cases carry an 8.8% house edge. A site bot can join a coinflip, capped at 200,000 coins, so a flip sold as PvP can be against the house.
We do not list CSGORoll, Clash.gg or CaseBattles.gg: none states a gambling licence, and a company address in Nevis, Cyprus or Belize is not one. Clash.gg describes itself as a sweepstakes. Sweden banned the operator of Hellcase on 27 October 2025. Skin gambling has a history of reaching under-18s, and the UK Gambling Commission warns that children may be gambling with skins.

Poker is the oldest P2P format: the room never plays a hand and takes rake from each pot up to a cap. ACR Poker takes about 5% on no-limit pots, capped at $0.50 to $3 a hand; WPT Global takes 4% on Hold'em; CoinPoker publishes caps rather than a percentage. All three use RNG shuffles, not provably fair seeds.
ACR requires rake or tournament fees of at least 10% of everything you have deposited before a withdrawal. SwC Poker is not listed because it states no licence and needs only an email to play.

On an exchange you back or lay against other bettors and pay commission only on net winnings in each market: 2% at Smarkets, 2% at Matchbook and 2% on the Betfair Basic package. These are the only P2P sites in our guides with a UK Gambling Commission licence, and they do not take crypto.
Betdaq stopped taking bets on 21 October 2026 after Matchbook's owner bought the brand. SX Bet, a USDC exchange on-chain, is not listed: it states no gambling licence and its own fee pages disagree. Azuro and bookmaker.xyz pool liquidity, so you bet against a pool, not a matched player.

You buy yes or no shares from other traders at $0.01 to $0.99 and a winning share pays $1. Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated exchange for US residents, with a taker fee of 0.07 x contracts x price x (1 - price), rounded up. Smarkets runs politics markets on its exchange.
Polymarket.com blocks the US and UK and says it is not regulated by the CFTC; Americans use Polymarket US, run by QCX LLC, a separate CFTC-regulated exchange. Federal appeals courts are split over sports contracts: the 3rd Circuit ruled for Kalshi, the 9th and 6th against.

Betfair Exchange, Smarkets and Matchbook hold UK Gambling Commission licences, with Malta Gaming Authority or Alderney licences for other markets. A GB licence makes GAMSTOP self-exclusion compulsory. Kalshi is a Designated Contract Market regulated by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and what it sells are event contracts.
Every crypto P2P site in our guides holds an offshore licence: Anjouan for Acebet, Rollbit, Gamdom, CoinPoker and ACR Poker, the Curaçao Gaming Authority for CSGOEmpire and the Tobique Gaming Commission for WPT Global. These licences let a company operate from that jurisdiction. They do not make the site legal where you live, and each operator excludes a list of countries, the UK and US among them.
Check the register entry, not the badge. On the Anjouan register, search by domain and read the expiry date as well as the status: on 27 October 2026 Acebet's entry read valid with a printed expiry of 17 October 2026. A Curaçao seal should open on cert.cga.cw; old sublicences are not licences under the regime the Curaçao Gaming Authority has run since 24 December 2024. The Tobique register lists licence holders without their numbers.
These companies run real-money skill contests or fantasy games under skill-game rules, not a gambling licence. They publish their fees and excluded states, so the guides show them with this label. They are never described as licensed.

Skill rules carry their own risks. In April 2026 a US federal jury found Papaya Gaming liable for false advertising over bots it did not disclose in cash tournaments. India has banned real-money skill games since 1 May 2026.
We read terms, fee pages, lobbies and registers. We do not deposit or play, so this is a check of what each operator states and what the regulator records.
We open the regulator's own register, not the site's seal image, and match the company, the domain, the status and the expiry date.
Rake, commission, battle fee or the game's own house edge has to be stated before you stake. We quote it with the date we read it.
Whether bots, staff accounts or house seats can join a match, and whether the site says so in the lobby.
RNG certificate, provider RNG or provably fair seeds, and whether a working verifier is published.
KYC triggers, withdrawal conditions such as rake requirements, winnings caps and the list of excluded countries.
The casino list at the top of this page is commercial. We earn a commission when someone joins a casino through it, and our partnerships decide which casinos appear there and in what order.
The P2P sections are separate. The P2P operators named here and in the guides are not our partners and are not linked, and a P2P site goes in a guide only after its licence is found on a register or, for skill platforms, its company and rules are named. No payment changes a fee figure, a licence status or a legal position on this site.
For betting, the UK-licensed exchanges Betfair, Smarkets and Matchbook. For crypto poker, CoinPoker, ACR Poker and WPT Global. For slot battles, Acebet, Rollbit and Gamdom, and for case battles and coinflip, CSGOEmpire. Which of them can serve you depends on the excluded-country list in each one's terms.
An Anjouan, Curaçao or Tobique licence lets the operator run from that place. It does not make the site legal where you live, and every offshore P2P site in our guides excludes the UK and the US. In Great Britain, an operator serving players without a Gambling Commission licence commits a criminal offence.
Of the crypto sites we checked, Acebet, Rollbit, Gamdom, CoinPoker and ACR Poker hold Anjouan licences, CSGOEmpire holds a Curaçao Gaming Authority licence and WPT Global holds a Tobique Gaming Commission licence. Many other case-battle and duel sites state no licence at all.
Skillz, 88chess, Outpost Chess, GamerSaloon and DraftKings operate as skill-contest or fantasy businesses without a gambling licence. They are named companies with published rules, so the guides show them with that label, but they are not described as licensed operators.
