Our verdict
Stake is one of the biggest crypto-first gambling brands in the world — a huge casino, a solid sportsbook, fast crypto banking and a slick app, backed by high-profile sponsorships. The trade-offs are real: it is offshore/Curacao, crypto-centric, restricted in a long list of countries (UK, Australia, France, Portugal, Brazil and more), and it suffered a large wallet hack in 2023. Strong product, but weaker recourse than a regulated book — use it only where it is licensed to accept you.
How we rated it
Sportsbook & odds (25%)8.5
Strong sportsbook alongside a huge crypto casino; good market depth and live betting, though not the very widest.
Payments & payouts (20%)8.5
Crypto-first with a wide coin range and typically fast payouts; fiat options are limited by comparison.
Mobile & UX (10%)8.5
Slick, fast mobile experience; app availability varies by region.
Customer support (10%)8
24/7 live chat with a generally good reputation.
Bonuses & value (15%)6.5
No traditional big welcome match — value comes from rakeback, reloads and a VIP programme; a code-based bonus applies in some regions.
Trust & licensing (20%)6.5
Established, well-known brand (Medium Rare N.V., Curacao) with high-profile sponsorships, but it is offshore/crypto-first, restricted in a long list of countries (incl. UK, Australia, France, Portugal, Brazil), and suffered a large 2023 wallet hack. Weaker recourse than a UKGC/MGA book.

About Stake
Stake launched in 2017 (founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani) and grew into one of the world's largest crypto casinos and sportsbooks, known for big sponsorships and streamers. It is crypto-first and operates offshore from Curacao, aimed at global players where it is licensed — not at players in the UK, Australia, France, Portugal or Brazil, among others.
Stake FAQ
Is Stake legit?
Stake is a large, established, Curacao-licensed operator with high-profile sponsorships, and generally pays out crypto quickly. But it is offshore and crypto-first, restricted in many countries, and suffered a large wallet hack in 2023 — so recourse is weaker than at a UKGC or MGA book. Only use it where it is licensed to accept you.
Does Stake have a welcome bonus?
Stake does not run a standard big welcome match. Its value comes from rakeback, reloads and a VIP programme, with a code-based bonus in some regions. Terms vary by region and change, so check the current offer on Stake's own site.
Can I use Stake in my country?
Stake restricts a long list of countries, including the UK, Australia, France, Portugal, Brazil and Belgium. Check it is licensed to accept players from your country before signing up.
