Same brands, same weights, two different answers. The numbers below are deposit-tested and the scores recompute every build.

The 7-point WCI gap is real, just not large. Cloudbet edges Gamdom on the formula, mostly through the reserves and payout components rather than the age or licence ones. Both are within the band where a deposit-tester can recommend either, but if you only deposit once and never look at the leaderboard again, the higher number is the safer default.
Cloudbet runs a zero-rollover welcome, which is the unusual variable here. Zero rollover means winnings from the bonus convert to cash on the first qualifying bet rather than after multiple replays of the bonus value. That makes the Cloudbet offer the higher expected-value pick even before you compare the headline numbers.
Coin breadth: Cloudbet accepts 20 cryptos against 11 at Gamdom. If you hold something past the top five, the breadth matters at deposit time and at withdrawal time. If you only ever move USDT or BTC, the breadth is a feature you do not use, and the count is irrelevant.
Where the two brands actually diverge on product: licence (Curaçao Gaming Authority (OGL/2023/981/0450) versus Curaçao Gaming Authority, License OGL/2024/328/0599) and operating history (Cloudbet is the older book by several years). Those are the axes that should decide the pick if the WCI gap is small. None of them shows up in the welcome banner, which is the operator preference, not the player one.
Take Cloudbet as the default. WCI 77 against 70 is inside the margin where either operator is defensible, but the higher score is the higher score. Take Gamdom if you specifically want Long-running crypto casino from the CS:GO skin era, now a full originals and slots operator. and you have read the trade-off in Gamdom's review. Both pay out. Both were deposit-tested by us this quarter.
