Our Verdict

Stake is one of the most polished crypto casinos available. Its strengths are a fast, clean site, a large game library, its own range of simple Originals and a rewards system that pays back a share of play over time. It suits players who play regularly and value ongoing rewards. Players who want a big matched welcome bonus will find better headline offers elsewhere, as Stake focuses on rewards earned through play.

Games

Slots

Stake offers thousands of online pokies from leading studios, including Pragmatic Play, Hacksaw Gaming, Nolimit City and Play'n GO. Popular titles such as Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus and Wanted Dead or a Wild sit alongside Stake Exclusives, which are games made by partner studios for Stake. The library can be filtered by provider, and each game's information screen shows its rules and RTP.

Stake Originals

Stake Originals are simple in-house games designed for crypto play. They include Crash, Plinko, Dice, Mines, Limbo, Keno and HiLo. Most let you adjust your risk level or target multiplier, and Stake uses a provably fair system that lets players verify each result.

Live Casino and Table Games

The live casino includes blackjack, roulette, baccarat and game shows from major live studios, alongside digital table games.

Sportsbook

Stake also runs a full sportsbook with pre-match and live betting across football, tennis, basketball, esports and more, plus a racing section. The casino and sportsbook share one account and wallet.

VIP Rewards and Rakeback

Stake does not offer a traditional welcome bonus. Instead, its rewards grow as you play. Players move up through VIP levels, starting at Bronze and progressing through Silver, Gold and Platinum and beyond, based on the total amount wagered.

Rewards can include:

• Rakeback: a share of the house edge on your bets returned to you
• Level-up bonuses: paid each time you reach a new VIP level
• Weekly and monthly bonuses: regular bonuses based on recent play
• Reloads: periodic bonuses for higher VIP levels
• VIP host: a dedicated contact for higher-level players

Stake also runs ongoing promotions, such as daily races and weekly raffles, plus provider promotions such as Pragmatic Play's Drops & Wins. Each promotion has its own terms, so check the details on the site.

Claim VIP Rewards at Stake

Payments

Stake accepts a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether, Dogecoin, Ripple, Tron and more. There is no set minimum deposit for crypto, and withdrawals are usually processed quickly once confirmed on the blockchain. Withdrawal minimums vary by coin. Network fees may apply depending on the coin you use.

Mobile Play

Stake does not have a downloadable casino app, but its site is fully optimised for mobile browsers on iOS and Android. Games, the sportsbook, the wallet and the VIP area all work on mobile.

Licence and Security

Stake is operated by Medium Rare N.V. and licensed in Curaçao. Its Originals use a provably fair system, and games from third-party studios use certified random number generators. See Slot RNG Explained for how these systems work.

Like any online casino, Stake sets its own list of restricted countries, including Australia, so check that the site is available where you live before you sign up.

Playing Responsibly

Rewards such as rakeback return only a small share of what you bet, so they never make up for losses. Set a budget and time limit before you play, and use the limit tools in your account settings. Our guides on setting gambling limits and recognising gambling harm explain practical steps, and Gambling Help Online offers free, confidential support 24/7 on 1800 858 858.
