For the base verdict on the casino, waddle over to the Housebets review.
Last updated: July 2026
The date first: Wave 1 closed on July 23, 2026, and the official @housebets account has stated on X that Wave 2 “lands in August” with “major improvements”. No exact day yet. That leaves a short window to get your ducks in a row — our specialty.
Known Parameters vs Open Questions
| Known (official or confirmed) | Still open |
|---|---|
| Scan of up to 5 crypto wallets used at other crypto casinos | Exact August start date |
| Bonus sized by your historical on-chain betting volume | Wave 2 bonus size ranges |
| 1 USDT deposit from each claimed wallet as ownership proof | Game contribution rates in Wave 2 |
| 1x wagering, then withdrawable | Whether Wave 1’s TRC-20 scan issues get fixed |
| Wave 1 queue positions carry over (per support) | Any new caps or conditions |

What Wave 1 Actually Looked Like
Community reports — reports, not guarantees — described bonuses from roughly $30 up to $15,000, scaled to past betting volume. Early claimants were said to receive larger offers, amounts shrank through the day, and an extra ~$1,000 was available to some users for posting on X. “Major improvements” is Housebets’ only official comment on Wave 2, and it says nothing about sizes; assume the numbers will differ.
Slots and the 1x Wager: Read Before You Spin
A 1x playthrough sounds like one relaxed pass through your favourite slot. In Wave 1, though, players reported that bets were weighted by game type: low-risk instant-game bets (Limbo-style) were said to count around 25% [needs verification], and we’ve found no official game-by-game contribution table [needs verification]. Open the Wave 2 terms when they publish and check how reel play is weighted — assumptions are how “1x” quietly turns into 3x.
Standing reminder: clearing a bonus through The Dog House is still play against a house edge — a nice outcome, not a strategy.
Wallet Rules
The scan accepts non-custodial wallets only — Trust Wallet and similar self-custody apps you’ve previously used for deposits at crypto casinos such as Stake, Shuffle or BC.Game. Exchange deposit addresses (Bybit and the like) and custodial bots such as CryptoBot fail the check. Wave 1 users also reported glitchy TRC-20 scanning; whether that’s fixed in August is unknown.
Safety in Plain Words
No wallet ever gets “connected”. You type in addresses; Housebets reads their public transaction history — the same data any block explorer shows — and the single USDT you send simply proves the address is yours. Keys and funds stay untouched throughout.
Prep in Four Moves
- Open a Housebets account now (unavailable in 23 jurisdictions, including the UK, US, Italy and Lithuania — check the Terms first).
- List the self-custody wallets you’ve used for casino deposits; up to five will count.
- Park a little USDT plus network fees for the ownership checks.
- Turn on notifications for @housebets on X — the date drops there first.
Bottom Line
For slot players, Wave 2 deserves a calendar entry: a volume-based bonus at 1x wagering was rare enough in Wave 1 that August is worth watching. Just anchor your expectations — sizes, terms and contribution rates can all change, and none of it is income.
