Rainbet.us goes live for the United States
Rainbet pointed its followers to a new US-facing site, Rainbet.us, on 13 October 2026. FairGambling reported that the site calls itself a free-to-play social casino, the same sweepstakes-style model Stake runs on Stake.us, and that a new Rainbet USA account on X announced it as live.
It is a separate product from the crypto casino. FairGambling says section 4.1.3 of the main site's terms still blocks anyone who lives in the United States or its territories, and that visitors reaching rainbet.com from a US IP address are now prompted to try the new site instead. The same report says all 16 of Rainbet's current Originals are available on Rainbet.us and that the site advertises more than 7,000 slots.
For UK readers, none of this opens anything up. AskGamblers and iGamingToday both say Rainbet's terms list the UK as a restricted country. Rainbet is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, so UK players sit outside GAMSTOP and UKGC protections on any Rainbet site.
How the sweepstakes model works and where sources disagree
The sources agree on the shape of the model but not on the details. Covers, updated on 19 October, describes two currencies: Gold Coins, which have no redemption value, and Rainbet Coins, which can be redeemed for prizes where permitted. It puts the minimum purchase at $15 for 15,000 Gold Coins, the minimum redemption at 50 Rainbet Coins, identity verification before any redemption, and a 1x playthrough on redeemable coins. FairGambling names a single currency, Rainbet Cash, so the wording on the site itself is the thing to read.
The restricted-state list is where the reports split. FairGambling lists 11 states: California, Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey and New York. Covers lists 22, adding Arizona, Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia. We could not open Rainbet.us ourselves, so we cannot say which list matches its terms. Covers names the operator as RB Gaming N.V., which matches the name of the main site's operator.
Legal pressure on dual-currency sweepstakes
Sweepstakes casinos are under growing state pressure, and the launch lands in the middle of it. FairGambling notes that California's AB 831, signed on 11 October 2025, makes offering a two-currency online sweepstakes game a crime, with fines of up to $25,000 and up to a year in county jail, and that it reaches payment processors, game suppliers and media affiliates that knowingly support such a site. New York's S5935, signed on 5 December 2025, carries fines of $10,000 to $100,000 per violation.
Tennessee is the state to watch. A review on SWRNN, a site that carries affiliate links, says Governor Bill Lee signed SB 2136 in May 2026, banning dual-currency sweepstakes casinos statewide. Covers lists Tennessee as restricted for Rainbet.us, while FairGambling's list leaves it out. None of the pages we opened reports a regulator action or court finding against Rainbet, and a new law is not a finding that any operator broke it.
The bad news: a 2.1 Trustpilot score and four fresh one-star reviews
Trustpilot showed Rainbet at 2.1 out of 5 from 617 reviews on 20 October, with 62% of reviews at one star. The page says the company has not replied to negative reviews. That is down from the 2.6 from 501 reviews that FairGambling recorded on 3 September, so the score has dropped in about six weeks.
Every review dated between 13 and 19 October is a one-star. One reviewer says a VIP host was unresponsive despite roughly $5m wagered. Another alleges about $100,000 in losses and rigged slots. A third says bonus features froze or closed the game and that the account was muted after contacting support. A fourth says over $1m was wagered with no rewards and that support declined retention offers before the account was deleted. These are claims by reviewers, Trustpilot does not fact-check them, and none carries a reply from Rainbet.
Older complaints are still open. AskGamblers lists two complaints against Rainbet, both unresolved, including one from a player who says their account was blocked on 2 July 2026 and about 1,500 USDT was withheld over alleged suspicious activity. AskGamblers describes the Anjouan permit as one of the weakest in the world and shows a player rating of 5/10 from three reviews.
The good news: praise exists, and no regulator action turned up
One in three Trustpilot reviews is a five-star, 33% as of 20 October. The page shows five-star reviews from 29 September praising fast withdrawals and from 3 October praising a VIP manager, both before the week covered here. Those are also unverified reviewer claims.
The sources we opened report no regulator action, court finding or hack involving Rainbet this week. That is a gap in the record, not a clean bill of health: the Anjouan licence cited by AskGamblers, ALSI-152406029-FI2, is an offshore licence with limited dispute routes for players, and we have not checked it against the licensor's register ourselves.
What to watch next
Three things matter over the coming weeks: whether Rainbet.us publishes a restricted-state list that settles the FairGambling and Covers disagreement, whether any state moves against dual-currency sites including the new launch, and whether Rainbet starts replying to the negative Trustpilot reviews.

FAQs
Has Rainbet launched a US site?
Yes. According to FairGambling, Rainbet told followers on 13 October 2026 to sign up at Rainbet.us, a free-to-play social casino using a sweepstakes model like Stake.us. It is described as separate from the crypto casino, whose terms still block US residents. The state restrictions on the new site are reported inconsistently.
Can UK players use Rainbet?
No, not according to its own terms. AskGamblers and iGamingToday both report that the UK is a restricted country. Rainbet does not hold a UK Gambling Commission licence, so UK players would be outside GAMSTOP and UKGC protections on any Rainbet site, including the new US sweepstakes one.
Is Rainbet.us the same as rainbet.com?
No, they are separate sites. Rainbet.us is the US sweepstakes product launched on 13 October 2026, while rainbet.com is the crypto casino, whose terms block US residents. Covers names the operator of the new site as RB Gaming N.V., the same operator name given for the main site.
What is Rainbet's Trustpilot rating?
On 20 October 2026 Trustpilot showed 2.1 out of 5 from 617 reviews, with 62% at one star and 33% at five stars. The page says Rainbet has not replied to negative reviews. Trustpilot does not fact-check reviews, so treat individual claims as allegations, not established facts.
Is Rainbet licensed?
AskGamblers cites an Anjouan licence, number ALSI-152406029-FI2, held by RBGAMING N.V., and calls that permit one of the weakest in the world. Anjouan is an offshore licensor with limited player-dispute routes. We have not checked the licence against the register ourselves, and it is not a UK licence.
