For a moment there you may have forgotten that Huawei was facing a ban in the U.S. The ban, which was initiated by President Trump, saying that U.S. companies should restrain from working with Huawei over matters of national security, took effect back in May.
After which, we saw a rollercoaster of events follow with Huawei partners cutting off ties with the Chinese tech giant. The most notable exits being Google and Microsoft, who both revoked Huawei’s license to access their software.
The effects of this ban haven’t seemingly been felt yet, at least on consumer products, as we’ve seen market reports that indicate Huawei’s smartphones are selling quite well.

The initial ban had been lifted for a period of 90 days, ending August 19th, after which, the U.S. government has now issued another extension, for 90 days to end on November 19th. “Some of the rural companies are dependent on Huawei, so we’re giving them a little more time to wean themselves off,” said Wilbur Ross, Chamber of Commerce Secretary.
In addition to this announcement, Ross also announced that they had added an additional 46 Huawei subsidiaries to the entity list, bringing the total number of Huawei affiliated companies banned from trading with the U.S. to over 100.
In response, Huawei claims that the 90-day extension will not have a substantial impact on their business. However, the company was not pleased with the additional subsidiaries ban, terming the move as “politically motivated” and an “unjust treatment that had nothing to do with national security.”
So I’ve been playing on Craybet for about two months now and figured I’d share some thoughts because there’s not a ton of talk about this place in this forum. Registered after seeing an ad and signing up took maybe two minutes. Min deposit was $10 and that’s pretty standard. I grabbed a welcome bonus — matched my first deposit 100% up to 500 and fifty free spins on Sweet Bonanza. Rollover is 35 times the bonus which could be lower but it’s manageable.
Game selection is decent honestly. There’s games from Pragmatic Play, Betsoft, and Big Time Gaming — meaning Gates of Olympus, Starburst, all the popular ones. I’d guess maybe 1500-2000 slots when you add it all up. The live dealer section uses Evolution which is quality — tried roulette and Lightning Roulette with real dealers and zero lag issues.
One thing that annoyed me a little was withdrawal times. Withdrew via Skrill and waited like a day and a half the first time. Second time around it dropped to like 24 hours. They accept Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Bitcoin which is pretty much everything you’d want. I’d check out their current offers on CrayBet if you’re interested.
Mobile experience on Craybet from my iPhone worked better than expected. There’s no app to download but the browser version loads fast and all the games load fine. I played Book of Dead on the bus and had zero problems.
Support at Craybet has been okay — live chat that gets you a person in under five minutes when I’ve used it. Reached out once about a bonus that didn’t credit and got it fixed within hours. Not sure about operating under a Curacao license and that’s typical of offshore casinos. Not everything is amazing — the bonus wagering could be lower — but for what it is it does the job for me.
Been playing on Craybet for like six weeks or so and thought I’d throw out some thoughts since I haven’t seen a ton of talk about them on here. I signed up on a whim and registration literally took 90 seconds. Minimum deposit is $10 which is pretty standard. Got a welcome bonus — matched my first deposit 100% up to 500 and 50 free spins on Sweet Bonanza. Playthrough requirements were 35x which could be lower but it’s manageable.
The game library is bigger than I expected. They’ve got games from Pragmatic Play, Evolution, plus Microgaming — so like Gates of Olympus, Starburst, that kind of thing. Somewhere around a couple thousand titles when you add it all up. Live dealer stuff uses Evolution and it’s smooth — played some baccarat and Crazy Time with real dealers and zero lag issues.
Now the one thing I wasn’t thrilled about was payout speed. Tried cashing out with Visa and it took like a day and a half for my first withdrawal. Second time around it was faster. They accept Visa, Mastercard, e-wallets like Skrill and Neteller, and BTC so that covers most bases. I’d look at their current offers over at CrayBet before you sign up.
Using Craybet on my phone is actually smooth. There’s no app to download though the web app is responsive and everything works without issues. Played Book of Dead in bed and had zero problems.
Customer service on Craybet has been decent — there’s a chat widget that gets you a person pretty quick most times. Had to ask about a pending withdrawal and it was resolved pretty quickly. Not sure about Curacao licensed which is what most offshore casinos. Wouldn’t say it’s perfect — the bonus wagering could be lower — but overall I keep coming back.
