Roobet is operated by Raw Entertainment B.V., a Curacao company with registration number 157205, under Curacao licence OGL/2024/687/0427. Its fiat payments run through a second company, Raw Entertainment Ltd, Cyprus HE421735. Roobet's own partner announcements name two co-founders, Matt Duea and Anthony Brennan. Who holds the shares is not disclosed in any register this desk could read on 8 October 2026.
So the honest answer to "who owns Roobet" has two parts. The company that holds the licence and takes the deposits is on the record. The people behind that company are on the record only as founders and executives, quoted in sponsorship press releases.
Which company operates Roobet?
Raw Entertainment B.V. Clause 1 of the Roobet terms, read on 8 October 2026:
Roobet.com is operated by Raw Entertainment B.V., (hereinafter "Roobet", "Company", "We" or "Us") is a company duly incorporated under the laws of Curaçao with Company number 157205
The registered office is given as Korporaalweg 10, Curacao (the terms read "a tKorporaalweg", a typo in the binding document). The same clause states the licence: operating "under the license OGL/2024/687/0427 issued by the Government of Curacao".
The Curacao Gaming Authority's registry of 16 September 2026 agrees on the company, the number and the licence:
554. OGL/2024/687/0427 Raw Entertainment B.V. B2C 157205 December 24, 2025 N/A Indefinite
Indefinite, with no expiry recorded, is a firmer licence position than Stake's, whose entry in the same registry reads "Assessment in progress" with a term that ended on 9 June 2026. The detail is on the Roobet entry and the Curacao licence tracker.
The registry lists licensees. It has no column for shareholders, directors or domains, so it cannot answer the ownership question on its own.
Who handles Roobet's fiat payments?
A Cyprus company with a near-identical name. The terms say:
All Fiat transactions are processed by Raw Entertainment Ltd, Reg No HE421735, having its registered address at Voukourestiou, 25, Neptune House, 1st Floor, Flat/Office11, Zakaki, 3045, Limassol, Cyprus
The terms do not say whether Raw Entertainment Ltd is a subsidiary of the Curacao company, a sister company, or an unrelated agent. Stake's terms, by contrast, call its two Cyprus payment companies "wholly owned subsidiaries". Roobet's do not describe the relationship at all: not disclosed.
The Curacao-licensee-plus-Cyprus-agent pattern is common across the register. For a player, the practical point is that a card or bank payment is contracted with a Limassol company, while the gaming contract is with a Willemstad one.

Who owns Roobet according to the company?
The company names founders, not owners. Three documents from Roobet or its partners name people:
Anthony Brennan, co-founder and head of partnerships for Roobet
Matt Duea, Roobet's CEO
NEXT.io's April 2024 interview describes Duea as "one of the co-founders of Roobet", and its author note says he is "part of the group behind Roobet.fun and Roobet.com". A 2023 report on the Snoop Dogg deal in World Casino Directory News refers to "Roobet and its parent company, Raw Entertainment".
Being named as a co-founder is not the same as being named as a shareholder. None of these documents gives an ownership percentage or says who controls Raw Entertainment B.V. The Curacao Chamber of Commerce site, which holds the company file, refused this desk's fetch under its robots rules, and the Cyprus registrar's search did the same. The directors and shareholders of both Raw Entertainment companies are therefore not verified.
When was Roobet founded?
The two official partner releases disagree. Chelsea's announcement says Roobet was founded in 2018 "by lifelong gamers". Matchroom's announcement, a year later, says "founded in 2019 by lifelong gamers". Same phrase, different year. Neither cites a register, and the incorporation date of company 157205 could not be read from the Curacao chamber. Not verified.
Which sponsorship deals has Roobet signed?
The deals below are those with a primary announcement or a dated trade report. No fee is published for any of them.
| Partner | Deal | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chelsea FC | Official regional betting partner, Latin America and Canada, 32 markets, multi-year | Jan 2025 | Chelsea FC announcement; Inside World Football, 31 Jan 2025 |
| World Nineball Tour | Title sponsor, European Open Pool Championship, 2026 and 2027 editions | 25 Feb 2026 | Matchroom announcement |
| Snoop Dogg | Named "Chief Ganjaroo" | 2 Mar 2023 | World Casino Directory News |
Chelsea's chief revenue officer, Casper Stylsvig, is quoted welcoming Roobet as "our Official Betting Partner" for the region. The announcement covers Latin America and Canada only; it names no other territory.
Sponsorship spend is the one line of a crypto casino's costs that is visible from the outside, because the shirt or the banner is public. The amount almost never is. How that spend sits against the house edge is set out in how a crypto casino makes money.
What do Roobet's own documents get wrong?
Several things, all recorded on the register entry from the September read. The game policy is version-stamped 19 February 2023 but cites licence OGL/2024/687/0427, a number that did not exist until 2024. The terms list Denmark as restricted while the live configuration endpoint does not block it, and the endpoint blocks territories the terms do not name. A Roobet-branded Japanese help centre at roobet.jp states licence 8048/JAZ, a number from the superseded Curacao master-licence system.
That last one bears on ownership. Whether roobet.jp is run by Raw Entertainment B.V. or by a partner is not disclosed, and its footer points to a different licence than the one in the registry. A player on the Japanese site cannot tell from the site itself which company holds their balance.
Roobet's fairness page names fourteen games as verifiable but loads the method behind JavaScript tabs that could not be read on 22 September 2026. That gap is recorded on the provably fair page.
Does Roobet publish its revenue?
No. Raw Entertainment B.V. publishes no accounts, and this desk found no revenue figure for Roobet in a named publication. Any number circulating on affiliate sites is an estimate with no stated basis: no data. Compare who owns Stake, where Forbes and Australian statutory accounts at least give a reported figure.
How to check who runs a casino before depositing
Four documents settle most of it, and Roobet passes the first three. Read the operator clause in the terms and copy the company name and number. Find the same name and number in the regulator's own registry, not in a footer badge. Note any second company the terms name for payments, because that is who a card or bank transfer is contracted with. Then look for a register that names the shareholders. For Roobet that last step ends at a Curacao company file this desk could not open. The same four checks are set out on the method page.
What this does not show
The shareholders and directors of Raw Entertainment B.V. and Raw Entertainment Ltd. The legal relationship between the two companies. Who operates roobet.jp. Roobet's founding year. Any fee for any sponsorship. Each is not verified. The register-wide picture is in who owns the crypto casinos.
