Stake Sportsbook Review

Rating Details

I assessed Stake across several core areas. Below are the strengths and weaknesses.

Stake Compared to Other Market Leaders

Stake faces stiff competition from other crypto-first sportsbooks like Roobet, BC.Game, Sportsbet.io, and Duelbits.

• Roobet was launched two years after Stake and operates similarly by supporting cryptocurrencies and fiat payments. It also has a VIP club and a chat room. However, the VIP program is invite-only with no clear requirements for joining, and the chatroom is a single global room, unlike Stake’s multi-language rooms. Roobet also allows bettors to add sports or events to a favorites list and offers a quick bet feature, which Stake lacks, although both platforms cover a similar range of sports.
• BC.Game‘s aggressive welcome offer puts it ahead of Stake. It gives new users up to 300% on their first deposit and subsequent deposit matches totaling up to $100,000. Stake, by contrast, does not reward new sign-ups. Both sportsbooks provide comparable odds; for example, in the Inter Miami CF vs FC Porto FIFA CWC match, Stake lists odds of 4.50, 4.00, and 1.75, while BC.Game offers 4.40, 4.10, and 1.79. BC.Game also has iOS and Android apps, unlike Stake, which only provides for iOS users. Its VIP program spans over 38 levels and includes perks like no-fee withdrawals, rain bonuses, and coin drops, something that isn’t available in Stake.
• Sportsbet.io is another popular crypto-bookie. It has over 25 sports and accepts a wide range of cryptocurrencies, although its fiat payment options are more limited than Stake’s. It has dedicated mobile apps for both iOS and Android. A key advantage is the ability to switch between light and dark modes, which makes the interface more comfortable to use in different lighting conditions. Unfortunately, the VIP Clubhouse is available by invitation only. Also, Sportsbet.io does not feature an integrated chat room, which may be a drawback for users who enjoy real time community interaction.
• Duelbits matches Stake in overall sports coverage but goes further by offering bets on events from over 30 countries, as well as fantasy sports – something Stake does not currently provide. It also provides odds boosts, giving bettors better returns on selected events, which is another feature not available on Stake. Duelbits’ loyalty program includes not just on-site perks but also real-world rewards like VIP tickets to major sports events and luxury trips, offering more variety than Stake’s reward system.

About Stake and Medium Rare NV

Stake is a crypto-based sportsbook launched in 2017. It is owned by Medium Rare N.V., a company registered and licensed in Curaçao. The parent company was co-founded by Australian billionaires Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani. Ed Craven is also the co-owner of Kick, a streaming platform that rivals Twitch.

Stake is one of the biggest crypto-friendly platforms out there as it positions itself as a crypto-first, all-in-one gambling platform, and that appeals to many users, especially the younger demographic and those who love digital currencies. In April of 2025 alone, it recorded over 30 million wagers on sports markets, and financially, it has a very strong record. In 2022, the bookie recorded $2.6 billion in revenue, and barely 2 years later, in 2024, it grossed $4.7 billion.

One of the main reasons behind Stake’s rapid global growth, aside from its crypto-first approach, is its aggressive marketing strategy. The brand has invested heavily in high-visibility sponsorships, partnering with UFC, Everton FC, and Formula 1’s Alfa Romeo team. It also collaborates with global celebrities and influencers, including rapper Drake, to boost brand awareness. Unlike traditional sports betting sites, Stake has yet to publish full ESG reports, but it does offer responsible gambling tools and benefits from Curaçao’s ongoing licensing reforms aimed at improving transparency and user protection.

Where You Can Bet With Stake

Stake covers a wide range of countries and betting markets. While it began as an offshore sportsbook, it is now gaining local licenses in select regions. For localization, the bookie also supports multiple languages, including Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Finnish, Vietnamese, and about a dozen more. This allows bettors to use the platform and place bets in their local language.

Canada

In Canada, a local license isn’t always mandatory for residents to access an offshore bookmaker, as federal law generally does not criminalize individual punters. However, Stake is not available to bettors in Ontario, Canada’s only province with a fully regulated online gambling market. Users must be at least 18 years old to sign up, but age limits may vary by province. Currently, Canada is Stake’s biggest market.

India

This is the second major market for Stake, and similar to Canada, it’s an offshore bookie. In India, gambling laws vary by state, and most do not explicitly address foreign operators. Indian regulations mainly target local betting platforms. This creates a legal grey area for offshore sites like Stake. Users are not prosecuted for using international betting sites. Stake accepts Indian residents and supports INR payments and crypto deposits.

United States

Stake is currently illegal in the US. Instead, American bettors can access Stake.us, a sweepstakes version of the site. It is available in about 37 states. Stake.us uses a sweepstakes model, which allows wagerers to use Gold Coins for fun or Stake Cash for prizes. You can redeem Stake Cash for real money, which keeps it legally compliant. While some users attempt to access the full Stake.com site using a VPN, this might be tricky, as it violates local gambling laws.

United Kingdom

While it used to be legal, Stake exited the UK market early in 2025, first turning off registrations on 10 February. This departure followed a UK Gambling Commission investigation triggered by a widely circulated social media video displaying Stake’s logo alongside an adult entertainment actress. TGP Europe Limited, Stake’s white-label operator in the UK, agreed to cease new registrations and shut down the site. This came in addition to a £316,250 fine issued to TGP in April 2023 for anti-money laundering and social responsibility failures.

Latin America

Stake has extensive licensed coverage in the LATAM market. It was one of the first two operators to receive a license in Brazil in 2025. The license was issued by the Ministério da Fazenda / Secretaria de Prêmios e Apostas under Brazil’s newly regulated framework.

In Colombia, Stake entered the market through the acquisition of Betfair Colombia. The site has now been licensed and regulated by Coljuegos, the national gaming authority, since 2023.

Offshore Jurisdictions

Stake holds a Curaçao eGaming license. This allows it to legally accept users from many countries where local laws permit offshore gambling. While less strict than UK or EU licenses, it has been undergoing reforms to improve compliance, transparency, and player protection. Also, this license gives Stake a legal base for global operations and access to developing markets.

• License number OGL/2024/1451/0918

Regulatory Track Records

Stake has faced several regulatory challenges since its creation. Most notably, the operator was forced to exit the UK market in March 2025 after the UK Gambling Commission launched an investigation into a social media video featuring its logo and an adult entertainment actress. But before that, there had been a number of violations.

In April 2023, Stake’s UK white-label partner, TGP Europe, was fined £316,250 by the UKGC for anti-money laundering (AML) and social responsibility failures.

TGP Europe subsequently surrendered its UK license in May 2025 after facing a further £3.3 million penalty related to ongoing AML and due diligence shortcomings.

Odds

Stake offers highly competitive odds across most sports. It posts its lines early, often days before kick-off for major events. Odds are especially sharp on top tournaments, thanks to low margins. Even local leagues and lesser-known sports maintain fair pricing similar to local bookies.

Leagues	Average Margin	Average Payout
Premier League	4%	96%
FA Cup	6%	94%
Scottish Premiership	4%	96%
Champions League	4%	96%
Europa League	4%	96%
La Liga	4%	96%
Serie A	4%	96%
Bundesliga	4%	96%
Ligue 1	4%	96%
MLS	6%	94%
NBA	6%	94%
MLB	4%	96%
NHL	4%	96%
IPL	10%	90%

Major football, basketball, and tennis matches feature hundreds of markets, including goals, handicaps, player props, corners, and more.

There are also multiple odds formats to choose from. In addition to decimal, fractional, and American, you can also select Hong Kong, Malaysian, and Indonesian formats. Switching formats is easy through the sidebar menu on both desktop and mobile browsers.

The platform features real-time odds movement indicators, allowing you to instantly see if odds are increasing or decreasing and react accordingly. Wagers are confirmed in less than a second after you click, though timing can vary slightly based on your network speed. However, if odds were offered with an incorrect match time of more than three minutes, depending on the market, the bet can be voided by the bookie.

While the “Bet Archive” offers limited access to previous wagers, bet history cannot be downloaded. Thankfully, some users have created third-party tools like a Bet History Viewer for JSON files to fill this gap.

Payment Options

Stake accepts over 20 cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, TRX, USDT, EOS, and more. There are no minimum or maximum limits for crypto deposits. This flexibility is a major advantage for both low-stakes and high-volume bettors. Deposits are also instant and fee-free.

For withdrawals, each cryptocurrency has its minimum threshold. However, there’s no cap on how much you can withdraw; transactions only take a few minutes to process. Stake doesn’t charge withdrawal fees – you only pay the required network fee. I recommend using Litecoin and TRON for smaller withdrawals as they have low transaction fees.

Stake also supports local currencies like USD, INR, VND, ARS, CLP, JPY, CAD, TRY, IDR, and MXN, among others. These fiat transactions are made possible through third-party services like MoonPay, which supports Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, PayPal, Apple Pay, SEPA, UK Faster Payments, and PIX.

Unlike crypto, fiat payment comes with varying deposit and withdrawal limits depending on the country, currency, and payment method. Canadian and Indian residents can deposit and withdraw a minimum of $5/500 INR.

While deposits are instant, withdrawal processing times vary and can take up to 5 business days to process.

Regardless of your chosen method, Stake offers step-by-step guides with screenshots, making the process beginner-friendly and easy to follow.

Betting Variety

Stake covers over 30 traditional sports. You can bet on popular picks like football, basketball, tennis, and baseball, as well as niche options like biathlon, cross-country skiing, and water polo.

If you prefer a modern angle, Stake also offers more than 10 Esports markets. These include titles like Dota 2, League of Legends, eCricket, CS2, Valorant, and Rocket League.

Racing fans will find horse racing, greyhounds, and harness racing, too.

Stake’s betting variety keeps pace with its wide sports coverage. You can place short-term bets like next goal, moneyline, totals, or first half result and long-term bets like league winners, top scorers, or outrights. Most fixtures carry at least 30 different betting markets. This gives punters flexibility and makes finding value or matching your strategy easier.

The site includes a “Starting Soon” tab to help you catch upcoming games quickly. There’s also a “Favorite” tab that lets you pin your preferred teams or events, which makes tracking and betting faster. The search bar helps you find events without scrolling.

You’ll find a wide range of bet types, including spreads, totals, player props, and fast markets like “Next Goal” or “Next Point.”

Live stats are provided in real time. You’ll see updates on goals, penalties, red and yellow cards, and substitutions. The scoreboard includes a match clock and key data to help guide your bets. Odds update instantly based on current match events. This lets you make better decisions and take advantage of market shifts before they change again.

Stake also offers free live streaming. This includes selected major leagues, minor sports, and Esports. Esports matches are streamed through Kick, Twitch, and YouTube, allowing punters to follow the game closely while betting. There’s no multi-view or alert customization, but you can still track key events live on the dashboard.

Likewise, you can see what users are betting on, including high rollers. That gives some insight into popular picks during live play.

Bonuses and Promotions

Stake doesn’t offer a traditional welcome bonus like many other sportsbooks. Instead, new users can enter a referral code within 24 hours of signing up to qualify for rewards. The site also runs an affiliate program that allows gamblers to earn lifetime commissions, usually around 10%, from wagers placed by their referrals. There is no earning cap on how much you can get.

Stake runs frequent event-specific promotions across major sports. For example, NBA fans can get up to $100 in loss refunds on single bets lost by just 1 or 2 points. NHL bettors enjoy a “2-Lead Payout” promo, where bets are paid out early if the selected team leads by at least two goals in the second half, even if they eventually lose.

Most promotions are available to all users and don’t require complicated opt-ins or promo codes. Stake does not restrict promos based on the payment method, and it regularly tailors rewards around key events or bettors’ activity.

VIP Club

The Stake VIP Club is a loyalty program available to all registered users. Once you create an account and start playing, you can earn points that count toward your VIP progress. After you wager $10,000, you get into the Bronze level. From there, continued betting helps you move up through more than 15 levels, including Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Obsidian.

As a VIP member, you’ll have access to several rewards. These include weekly freebies issued every Saturday, rakeback on your bets, and reload bonuses based on your recent wagering activity. At the Platinum level and above, you also receive daily reloads and personal bonuses sent by email each month. High-level VIPs are assigned dedicated VIP hosts to assist with their accounts. Compared to other gambling options offered by Stake, sports betting counts 3x faster toward leveling up. You can also track your progress via the VIP section progress bar.

Website

stake.com

Stake’s website has a clean, user-friendly design that is easy on the eyes without being flashy. Despite offering many features, the layout feels organized and intuitive. The “Top Sports” section gives quick access to the most popular markets, while the search box helps you jump to events faster.

The site supports over 15 languages and six odds formats, making it a great option for Canadian and Indian users. Pages load quickly, even without strong internet, and odds refresh automatically without needing to reload the page.

Stake fosters a sense of community with social features like chat, leaderboards, and forums. Likewise, punters can view bets from other users, including high rollers. You can customize notifications across wagers, chats, and forum updates.

The bet slip is non-intrusive, and the site runs well across devices and screen sizes. Stake also remembers your preferences between sessions, giving the whole experience a consistent feel.

Mobile Betting

Besides the desktop site, Stake also has a mobile web app and native iOS app that provide all-inclusive access to all the platform’s features, including betting, live streaming, and quick transactions. Both apps are optimized to run efficiently in the background without draining your battery. You can receive real-time notifications, even when the app or browser isn’t open.

Mobile Web App

The mobile web app is the most common way users access their Stake account on the go. You can add your betting account as a shortcut to your home screen. To do this, simply log in, open your browser’s menu, and select the “Add to Home Screen” option. This mobile web app functions flawlessly across all devices, regardless of their operating system or version.

iOS App

Stake has a native mobile app exclusively for iOS users from India and can be downloaded from the Indian App Store. The size is typically around 37.8 MB, so you don’t need significant space. To run on iPhones, iPads, or iPod touches, it requires iOS 12.0 or later. For Apple Vision devices, visionOS 2.2 or later is needed. The app provides the same easy navigation and a clean, intuitive interface as the desktop version.

Security & Data Protection

All online activity, including payments, data transmission, and betting activity, is secured using SSL protocol. This technology encrypts data during transmission, safeguarding sensitive information from unauthorized access.

For added protection, Stake offers a Vault feature where users can store their funds securely, away from their main balance. Access to both the Vault and the user account can be further secured through two-factor authentication, which requires an authenticator app and email verification.

Stake also complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which makes sure user data is handled with strict privacy and security standards.

Betting Tools & Features

Stake provides several tools that can improve your efficiency and betting experience. Below are some notable ones.

Stake Community

The Stake community is a forum where punters can post, engage in discussion, and claim forum-specific bonuses. It hosts different challenges like the Sports Challenge, where you can win a share of $2,000 in the Sports Challenge or $16,000 in the VIP Challenge. The forum is free and open to all registered users.

Rain Chat

Rain Chat is a live chat feature where users can talk, engage, and win crypto. Although it’s free to access, you need to have wagered at least $500 once. You qualify for the rain feature if you’ve staked over $3,500 in the last 7 days. Every hour, the RainBot posts trivia and roll hunts where active users get free BTC, ETH, and more. Besides the general chat room, you can also find region-based ones for India, the Philippines, France, the Netherlands, etc.

Stake Vault

The Stake Vault provides an extra layer of security for your funds. It is a secure digital wallet or savings account protected by 2FA. You can store multiple currencies, receive prizes directly, and access your funds instantly when needed. It works like a savings account for your betting balance.

Cash Out

Cash Out allows you to settle a wager early to secure a portion of your potential winnings or mitigate losses. The payout amount depends on the current match conditions and odds. While cashout is available for pre-match and live events, it cannot be used on bet builders.

Bet Builder

Also known as same-game multi-bets, this feature lets you combine several wagers from a single fixture onto one bet slip. To use, open a match and click the “Bet Builder” option. For a bet to be successful, all selections must win.

Bet Share

Bet Share lets you post your wager on Stake Chat or any social platform. This is useful for showing your picks or engaging with other users. You can share your bet by clicking on your Bet ID and using the “copy” or “share” button.

Stake offers a range of responsible gambling tools and resources to help you stay in control while betting. You can easily find the responsible gambling tab linked in the sidebar menu of the website. You will find the “Stake Smart” section, which contains guides and tips on how to manage your bankroll and avoid risky behavior.

Tools like loss limits and wager limits let you cap how much you can spend. You can set these limits daily, weekly, or monthly, making it easier to avoid chasing losses or overbetting.

If you need a break, Stake offers temporary exclusion. You can pause your account for 1 day to 3 months. During this time, you won’t be able to deposit, bet, or access the chat. For longer breaks, there’s a self-exclusion option that can last from 6 months to indefinitely. These features are easy to activate through your account settings and come with clear instructions.

For those unsure of their gambling habits, Stake provides a 3-minute NODS self-assessment quiz. It helps you reflect on your behavior and flags any signs of problem gambling.

There’s also a monthly budget calculator. You input your income and expenses, and it gives you a suggested disposable amount you can safely use for betting. This is useful when setting your own financial limits.

Stake also partners with external support organizations such as Gambling Therapy, Gamblers Anonymous, and the National Council on Problem Gambling. These resources are clearly listed on the site and offer confidential help if you need professional support.

All responsible gambling tools are fully accessible on both desktop and mobile, ensuring you get the same level of protection across devices.

Customer Support

Stake prioritizes a stress-free experience, which is why it has great support channels for all punters, regardless of whether you’re placing your first bet or are already experienced.

The “How-To” section covers basic site functions like creating an account, funding your wallet, and understanding platform features. The “How-To” section covers basic site functions like creating an account and understanding different features offered by the operator. The Sports Betting Guide explains betting markets and odds, making it useful for beginners and experienced punters. If you’re new to crypto, the Crypto Buying Guide breaks things down step by step, from setting up a wallet to making your first deposit and withdrawal. These guides include helpful screenshots so you can follow along without confusion.

If the guides don’t fully resolve your issue, Stake has a dedicated support team ready to assist. You can reach out via email, and responses usually arrive within 24 hours. For more urgent issues, the live chat option is the better choice. It’s available 24/7, but you must be signed in to access it. The chat is managed by real human agents, not bots. Response times average about two minutes, depending on the volume of requests.

Betting Information Section

Stake has a very active blog section that is updated around 4 times daily. This gives bettors fresh and relevant content regularly. The blog covers how to use site features, sports news, match previews, and interviews with athletes. You’ll also find analysis and tips across major events. Posts are detailed and well-written, making them useful for both new and experienced users.

The content can be easily shared across popular social media platforms like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). However, the blog experience is primarily a one-way communication channel; there is no option for users to comment on posts. Additionally, the content is exclusively in English, which may alienate non-English speaking users and limit its reach within Stake’s global user base.

Sponsorship

Stake has invested heavily in global sponsorships across sports and entertainment to boost its global brand awareness.

In 2021, it struck a deal with UFC, and a year later, it became its official betting partner in 2022 in Latin America and the Asia Market.

In football, Stake has held significant sponsorships with English Premier League club Everton FC since 2022. As part of its LatAm expansion, it also sponsors multiple teams in the region. These include Brazil’s Juventude in January 2024, Peru’s Melgar for the 2025 season, Colombia’s Fortaleza CEIF, and Chile’s Ñublense front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2025 season. They also partnered with Nigerian club Enyimba in August 2023.

Stake has had a co-title partnership with the Stake F1 Team since 2023 and often alternates with Kick. The brand also extends its reach into tennis with a sponsorship of the Davis Cup, initiated in 2024 and renewed until the end of 2026.

Leagues and teams aside, Stake also has several high-profile people on its roster. These include music superstar Drake, who engages in live gambling streams on the platform. Other notable individual endorsements come from UFC champions like Israel Adesanya, who has been an ambassador since 2021, Alex Pereira, Valentina Shevchenko, Merab Dvalishvili, and Alexandre Pantoja, as well as football icon Sergio Agüero since January 2024, and Nigerian music star Davido.

What Bettors Say About Stake

Stake holds a 3.8 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot, which is considered strong in the sportsbook industry, where lower ratings due to the nature of gambling and punter expectations are common.

Punters frequently commend Stake for its generous and often personalized promotions, including special birthday bonuses. The platform is also praised for its fast deposits and withdrawals, which are important for many users. Its simple layout and mobile compatibility also contribute to a positive user experience.

On the other hand, there are some recurring complaints. Some punters have reported not seeing their deposits credited to their accounts, even after 24 hours. Some users have also noted unhelpful responses from customer support when attempting to resolve these issues. Another common complaint involves situations where wagerers, particularly after winning big, are asked for re-verification, only to have their accounts subsequently banned for alleged violations of the Terms of Service, often without clear or specific explanations.

It is worth noting that these complaints are rare and do not represent the experience of most users.

Besides Betting

Stake also provides a casino experience with over 2,000 casino games. This library includes popular online slots, classic table games, and immersive live dealer games. These titles are sourced from reputable software developers like Pragmatic Play, Hacksaw Gaming, Evolution Gaming, NoLimit City, and over 20 others. The games are also built with HTML5, so you can access them from your smartphone without needing an additional plugin.

Stake also features an exclusive “Stake Originals” section. Here, you’ll find proprietary titles such as Crash, Plinko, Mines, and Limbo, which are unique to the platform and cannot be found elsewhere. Games here use provably fair algorithms that use cryptographic hashes and blockchain principles to verify fairness. This means you can independently verify the fairness of every game outcome.
