Tradeoffs
- The standalone TonyBet Poker room that built the brand's original reputation closed permanently in 2020 and has not returned
- Could not verify Malta or Lithuania licensing sometimes historically associated with the name - only Estonia was directly visible
- Card/bank withdrawals can take up to 7 business days, notably slower than crypto or e-wallet rails
- Specific accepted cryptocurrencies beyond a generic FAQ confirmation could not be verified directly on-site

Operational fit
TonyBet is a sportsbook + online casino operated by TonyBet OÜ, incorporated in Tallinn, Estonia, and licensed there by the Estonian Tax and Customs Board. Founded by poker pro Antanas 'Tony G' Guoga, the brand's once-famous standalone TonyBet Poker room (launched 2013) was closed permanently by then-owner Betsson on July 20, 2020, and has never reopened - TonyBet regained independence in 2022 as TonyBet OÜ and rebuilt only the sportsbook+casino side. Today 'poker' on the site is only a live-dealer table category nested inside Live Casino, not a genuine poker client, so this is listed as a casino. On-site slot providers include BGaming, Fugaso, NetGame, Penguinking, 100hp, and Betsoft Gaming.
