Stake Review

Stake Review 2026

Stake runs under Medium Rare N.V., based in Curacao (registration #145353) at Seru Loraweg 17 B. They launched in 2017 and hold a Curacao Gaming Authority license (OGL/2024/1451/0918). You've probably seen them everywhere — they sponsor the UFC, Drake used to stream on there, and they've become basically a household name in crypto gambling.

Welcome Offer

Stake doesn't do a traditional welcome bonus. Instead, you get access through affiliate offer codes, and the real value comes from their ongoing rewards. New players can jump straight into the VIP system, daily races, and weekly raffles from day one. It's a different approach — some people love it because there's no wagering trap, others feel shortchanged because there's no big flashy deposit match.

Games

Around 4,600 slots from 50+ providers, with over 3,000 total casino games. What got our attention was the 100+ exclusive titles they launched in 2025 through Massive Studios, Paperclip Gaming, and Titan Gaming. You literally can't play these anywhere else.

Stake Originals are the bread and butter though. The list is massive: Crash, Dice, Plinko, Mines, Limbo, Hilo, Keno, Wheel, Diamonds, Dragon Tower, Slide, Blue Samurai, Scarab Spin, Pump, Cases, Flip, Rock Paper Scissors, Snakes, Darts, Bars, Packs, Drill, Prime Dice, Chicken, Tarot, Tome of Life, Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, and Video Poker. All at 99% RTP with provably fair verification. The Crash game maxes out at 1,000,000x.

We ran about 200 rounds across Crash, Plinko, Mines, and Dice over two sessions. The interface loads games in under a second, auto-cashout works reliably on Crash, and we didn't hit any lag or disconnects — even during high-traffic Saturday night.

Sports Betting

Soccer is the biggest market (unsurprising), plus basketball (NBA, EuroBasket), tennis, esports (NBA2K, Rocket League), cricket, American football, darts, Gaelic football, surfing, futsal, floorball, and water polo. Live in-play is available for major events. The esports selection is a bit niche — NBA2K and Rocket League aren't what most esports bettors are looking for — but the traditional sports coverage is solid.

VIP Program

This is where Stake shines. 15 tiers from Bronze ($10,000 wagered) all the way to Obsidian ($1,000,000,000 wagered):

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum I through VI, Diamond I through V, and Obsidian.

Here's a nice perk for sports bettors: every $1 wagered on sports counts as $3 toward VIP progress. Dedicated VIP hosts kick in at Platinum IV.

Benefits include monthly bonuses, level-up bonuses, rakeback, weekly bonuses, bonus growth (from Silver), daily reload bonuses (from Platinum), and custom benefits at Diamond and above.

Weekly Boosts drop every Saturday at 12:30pm GMT via their VIP Telegram channel. There's a $75,000 weekly raffle (1 ticket per $1,000 wagered) and a $100,000 daily race for the top 5,000 players. We finished in the top 2,000 of the daily race twice during a week of testing — enough to collect small payouts. You need consistent wagering volume to crack the top 500 where the real money is.

Cryptocurrency Support

They accept 21+ cryptos with no minimum or maximum deposit limits: BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, SOL, EOS, USDT, BCH, TRX, BNB, USDC, APE, DAI, LINK, SAND, SHIB, UNI, MATIC, CRO, XRP, and TRUMP.

Fiat deposits via Visa and Mastercard work for select currencies — CAD, EUR, USD, AED, CLP, ISK, and BAM among others.

Language Support

15+ languages: English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Korean, Polish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Finnish, and Arabic. Support is available in English, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

Responsible Gambling

Stake runs a "Stake Smart" responsible gambling program with self-exclusion tools and community support through their forum and social channels.

Our Take

Stake is the safe pick if you don't want to overthink it. The brand has been around, the VIP program is genuinely rewarding if you play regularly, and the 100+ exclusives give you stuff you won't find at other casinos. The lack of a traditional welcome bonus might turn off casual players. But if you're planning to stick around, the ongoing rewards and daily race money more than make up for it. The 3x sports multiplier on VIP progress is a killer feature for anyone who bets on sports.
