After the influx of various cryptocurrencies, places where these new digital currencies could be used began to emerge. Among them were sites focused on gambling, especially online casinos. In the flood of these sites, it was difficult to tell when it was a scam. At a time when bitcoin was worth a few hundred dollars, many people lost their money in this way. Fortunately for us, legitimate sites have emerged as beacons in the dark. One of them is Stake.
Six-year history, official license for operating gambling, collaboration with personalities like Drake or streamer Trainwreck, popularity in the community, nearly 24 million visits per month, official sponsorship of the football club Everton… just to give you an idea of why we can confidently say that Stake is by no means a scam. The platform offers a really wide selection of slot machines (slots) and live games, but you can also place bets – on sports and esports. All its games are based on a fully transparent system and a low house edge. As a downside, we would mention the confusion of the site for a new visitor.
Registration is only possible with an email, but if you don’t like filling in text fields, you can use your Google, Facebook, Twitch, or LINE account.
It is worth noting that the platform is inaccessible from the Czech Republic – it will reject your registration, but this can be remedied by changing your IP location (a popular program is NordVPN).
The Stake casino and bookmaker offer countless different competitions: for example, daily and weekly draws for bonus amounts, races (positions depend on how much you spin/bet) or reward hunts (for example, in Blackjack).
In addition to the competitions, we can also find classic bonus tasks, which are updated. These include, for example, doubling the win from a bet on the NBA when you manage to meet the conditions and the like.
Deposits and withdrawals can only be made using cryptocurrencies. Their selection is really wide, and once transferred to the deposit address, the amount is credited almost immediately (depending on the type of cryptocurrency).
The Stake website is divided into two parts: Casino and Sports. As the names suggest, each serves a specific purpose.
Under this tab, we find betting opportunities on a wide range of sports and esports. Football bets include Asian handicap, goal scorer, or special combined opportunities (e.g., winner and number of goals).
Almost all esports are included (including eCricket), and here too, we find many options on what to bet on. In MOBA games (League of Legends, DOTA 2), this could be the number of destroyed towers or the number of kills by individual players (at larger events), and in shooters like Counter Strike 2 or Rainbow Six, we can bet on the round handicap or the total number of rounds played.
The Stake casino is flooded with many games, and one may not know which one to choose. Table games (blackjack, roulette, baccarat) can be played as a slot machine or you can choose to play in a live casino with live dealers. There are also many game shows with real dealers or hosts. Will you try your luck at the wheel of fortune, or will you rather play baccarat against a sympathetic blonde?
There are also classic reel slots and popular modern games like Sweet Bonanza or Gates of Olympus. Of course, demo versions of most games are available. Before you choose one, don’t forget to check out our slot reviews.
Didn’t find what you’re looking for? The last option is to try one of the Stake Originals games. Among the gaming community around streamers, Plinko (a falling ball; the hole it falls into determines the win) is becoming increasingly popular, but classics like Crash or Limbo are also present.
Your VIP status on the Stake platform depends on how much money you spin/bet. This determines the level of your profile (bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and diamond). Of course, the higher the level you achieve, the better the bonuses you get.
These bonuses include monthly and daily rewards, Rakeback feature, bonus experience, and if you spend at least $100,000 on Stake, you will get a VIP badge and always have a guaranteed seat at the live gaming tables.
Stake operates under an official gambling license. It is registered on the island of Curaçao, and the payout intermediary is in Cyprus.
The mobile app we found for the Stake platform only offers the Plinko game. We did not find an app that would include both the bookmaker and the casino.
Customer support operates as a live chat and is available 24/7.
Stake is by no means a fraudulent site. This is proven by many satisfied users and high traffic.
Yes, the operator Medium Rare N.V. is registered and listed as a gambling operator. See the “License” section.
Yes, but you can also participate in games with live dealers (e.g., blackjack).
