Stake Casino

Stake Casino is an international cryptocurrency casino and sportsbook that has been operating since 2017. Stake brings slots, Live Casino, its own Stake Originals, poker, sports betting, and esports betting together under one account. The operator itself confirms that the platform launched in 2017.

One of Stake’s defining features is its strong focus on cryptocurrencies. The platform supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Litecoin, Dogecoin, TRON, Solana, USDC, and many other digital assets. Traditional currencies are also available in the interface, including the option to display balances in RUB.

The casino features games from third-party studios, Live Casino, and a broad selection of proprietary Stake Originals with Provably Fair technology. Popular in-house games include Dice, Mines, Plinko, Blackjack, Limbo, Keno, and Crash.

The platform is operated by Medium Rare N.V., registration number 145353, a company registered in Curaçao. Its license is Curaçao Gaming Authority OGL/2024/1451/0918.

Registering at Stake Casino

To create an account, you need to provide an email address, username, and password, and then accept the terms and conditions.

Players must be over 18 or meet a higher minimum age if required by the laws of their country of residence. Stake may request proof of age.

Only one account per person is allowed.

Creating multiple profiles, registering with someone else’s personal details, or using another person’s account is prohibited. If linked accounts are detected, the operator may restrict them and carry out additional checks.

After registration, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) is recommended.

Stake does not allow users who are located in or reside in certain jurisdictions to gamble on the platform.

Under its current terms, restricted territories include, for example, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Australia, Poland, Sweden, and several other countries.

Stake’s rules explicitly prohibit using a VPN or proxy to bypass geographical restrictions.

Before registering, check whether Stake is available in your country.

Games and Providers

Stake offers more than 1,000 casino games, including slots, table games, Live Casino, and its own titles.

Providers and studios whose content is available on the platform include:

• Pragmatic Play;
• Evolution Gaming;
• Play’n GO;
• Hacksaw Gaming;
• Nolimit City;
• Push Gaming;
• Relax Gaming;
• Games Global;

Stake’s official Russian-language page also mentions more than 150 live dealer games from Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play Live, Animo Studios, and other providers.

The Live Casino section includes roulette, blackjack, baccarat, Dragon Tiger, and game shows.

Stake Originals

One of the casino’s biggest distinguishing features is its own Stake Originals collection.

It includes:

• Dice;
• Mines;
• Plinko;
• Blackjack;
• Limbo;
• Keno;
• Crash;
• Chicken.

The main feature of Stake Originals is Provably Fair technology.

It lets players independently verify the outcome of a game round using cryptographic data, rather than relying solely on the casino’s internal random number generator (RNG).

Stake Originals remain one of the platform’s strongest advantages over many traditional online casinos.

Stake Slots

New slots are regularly added to the catalog.

At the time of this review, popular games available directly on Stake included:

Gates of Olympus Super Scatter, Gates of Olympus 2500, Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000, Sweet Fiesta Super Scatter, Lazy Vampire, and other titles.

Most slots can be opened in demo mode.

When playing for free, no real money is deducted, but any winnings cannot be withdrawn either.

Sports Betting

Stake is not just a casino — it is also a major sportsbook.

With a single account, users can bet on:

Football, basketball, tennis, ice hockey, American football, baseball, cricket, MMA, and esports.

Live betting, pre-match markets, and streams of selected sporting events are available.

The casino and sportsbook share the same account balance.

Stake Casino Bonuses

Stake does not offer a traditional, permanent welcome package such as “100% + 200 free spins.”

Instead, its bonus system mainly revolves around:

The VIP Club, rakeback, weekly and monthly rewards, Reload bonuses, promo codes, limited-time promotions, and tournaments.

Stake Casino promo codes are available in our Telegram channel: @bonuslava.

Stake VIP Club

Stake’s VIP program is one of the platform’s most developed features.

The first full VIP tier is Bronze, which requires $10,000 in wagering volume.

The tiers are:

• Bronze — $10,000;
• Silver — $50,000;
• Gold — $100,000;
• Platinum I–III — from $250,000 to $2.5 million;
• Platinum IV–VI — from $2.5 million to $25 million;
• Followed by the Diamond tiers.

Depending on the tier, benefits include:

Weekly bonuses, monthly bonuses, rakeback, level-up rewards, Bonus Growth, Daily Reload, and a personal VIP manager.

Starting at Platinum IV, additional personalized benefits and a dedicated VIP Host become available.

Weekly and Monthly Bonuses

VIP players receive a Weekly Bonus and a Monthly Bonus.

The reward amount is not fixed. Stake states that it depends on the player’s recent gaming activity and VIP level.

Rakeback

Rakeback becomes available starting at Bronze.

The amount depends on the player’s activity and the games played.

Deposits

Stake was originally built as a cryptocurrency casino and continues to support a wide range of digital assets.

More than 20 cryptocurrencies are available, including:

• Bitcoin;
• Ethereum;
• Litecoin;
• Dogecoin;
• Bitcoin Cash;
• TRON;
• EOS;
• USDT;
• BNB;
• USDC;
• DAI;
• Chainlink;
• Shiba Inu;
• Polygon;
• Solana;
• XRP.

The full list depends on the current cashier settings.

Stake also supports local currency payment methods.

The interface allows balances to be displayed in USD, EUR, JPY, INR, CAD, CNY, RUB, PLN, TRY, and other currencies.

Specific banking methods depend on the country.

Third-party payment services may offer Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA, and other options.

Withdrawals

Withdrawals are made through Wallet → Withdraw.

For cryptocurrency withdrawals, you need to enter a wallet address and select the correct network.

Stake states that cryptocurrency withdrawals are usually processed almost immediately, while bank transfers may take up to three business days.

Stake does not publicly specify an overall maximum limit for cryptocurrency withdrawals. However, each coin has its own minimum withdrawal amount and network fee.

For example, withdrawal limits and fees for USDT, BTC, ETH, or TRX are displayed directly in the cashier and may change depending on network congestion.

Deposits Must Be Wagered 1× Before Withdrawal

One very important Stake rule is that:

Before withdrawing, you must place bets totaling at least 100% of your deposited amount.

In other words, deposits must be wagered 1×. This requirement applies to both fiat and cryptocurrency deposits.

For example, after depositing the equivalent of ₽10,000, you must place bets totaling at least ₽10,000 before withdrawing.

This rule is also related to AML policies and preventing the casino from being used as a payment service.

Protection of Player Funds

Stake’s terms state that player funds and winnings are held in separate bank accounts or cryptocurrency wallets for betting and payout purposes.

If the operator suspects a violation of its AML policy, it may suspend an account and conduct an additional investigation.

Poker at Stake Casino

Stake Poker is a full online poker room within Stake, where players compete against each other for real money. Unlike Casino Hold’em or other games played against a dealer, Stake acts as the organizer of the poker tables and earns a commission, known as rake, from the games.

The poker client offers cash games, tournaments, Sit & Go events, freerolls, satellites, Mystery Bounty, Knockout, and its own fast-paced Next! format.

What Types of Poker Are Available at Stake?

The main Stake Poker variants are:

• Texas Hold’em;
• Omaha PLO4;
• Omaha PLO5;
• Omaha PLO6;
• Pineapple;
• All-in or Fold;
• Next! Fast Fold.

In Texas Hold’em, each player receives two hole cards and makes the best five-card hand using the community cards.

In Omaha, players receive four, five, or six hole cards, depending on the variant. To form a final hand, they must use exactly two of their hole cards and three community cards.

Cash Games

Stake Poker offers traditional cash games, also known as cash tables.

Unlike tournaments, these games have no fixed start time. Players choose suitable stakes, buy in, and can leave the table at almost any time.

Stake allows players to open up to six poker tables or tournaments simultaneously. An additional table can be launched directly in the poker client without opening another browser tab.

Multi-tabling is particularly convenient for regular players who prefer to play several tables or stake levels at once.

Next! — Stake’s Fast-Fold Poker

Stake’s proprietary fast-paced format is called Next!.

It works like Fast Fold Poker: if a player does not want to continue with the current hand, they can immediately click Fold and automatically move to a new hand with different opponents.

There is no need to wait for the current hand to finish.

In cash games, players at the same stakes are grouped into a shared player pool, and a new table is formed before each hand.

At least four active players are required to start a Next! game.

The format is available at certain No Limit Hold’em cash tables and in some tournaments.

Next! Drops

Fast-fold tables also feature an additional mechanic called Next! Drops.

In a randomly selected hand, Stake adds extra money directly to the pot. The player who wins the hand takes both the regular pot and the Drop.

This means that even an ordinary cash-game hand can unexpectedly include an extra prize.

All-in or Fold

For those who prefer extremely quick decisions, there is All-in or Fold (AoF).

In each hand, players effectively have only two options:

• Go all-in;
• Fold.

The format is available at certain No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha tables.

AoF also has its own jackpot.

At the time of this review, Stake was running a promotion advertising a $500,000 All-in or Fold Jackpot.

Stake Poker Tournaments

Stake’s tournament schedule goes far beyond standard Sit & Go events.

Available formats include:

• Regular buy-in tournaments;
• Freeroll;
• Sit & Go;
• Knockout;
• Mystery Bounty;
• Re-entry;
• Satellite;
• Multi-Flight;
• Next! tournaments.

All tournament participants start with a set number of chips. As players lose their stacks, they are eliminated, and the remaining players share the prize pool according to the payout structure.

Freerolls

Stake offers free poker tournaments known as freerolls.

There is no buy-in required. Prizes may consist of cash or tickets to subsequent paid tournaments.

Under Stake’s rules, registration for some freerolls opens approximately 15 minutes before the tournament starts, and players have a limited time after the start to take their seats.

This is an interesting option for players who want to try the poker client without paying a tournament buy-in.

Stake Showdown

One of the poker room’s main branded events is Stake Showdown.

The promotion listed a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool at the time of this review.

Players can qualify for the main tournament through several satellite stages:

• Step 1 — $0.50;
• Step 2 — $10;
• Step 3 — $100;
• Direct Stake Showdown buy-in — $1,000.

Winning each qualifying stage awards a ticket to the next one.

In theory, this means a player can qualify for a $1,000 buy-in tournament by starting with just $0.50.

Mystery Bounty and Knockout

Stake Poker offers tournaments that reward players for eliminating opponents.

In a traditional Knockout tournament, a player receives a predetermined bounty after taking another player’s last chips.

In Mystery Bounty, the exact reward amount is not known in advance. Eliminating an opponent can reveal one of several prizes, including a significantly larger bounty.

These tournaments allow players to earn prizes even before reaching the main payout positions.

Bad Beat Jackpot

Stake offers a Bad Beat Jackpot for cash-game tables.

The jackpot may be triggered when a very strong poker hand loses to an even stronger one. Under certain conditions, not only the winner and loser but also other players dealt into the qualifying hand may receive a reward.

At the time of this review, Stake’s poker promotions section advertised a Bad Beat Jackpot of up to $1,000,000.

The exact qualifying hand requirements should be checked in the jackpot rules before playing.

JAQKpot

Another special Stake Poker format is JAQKpot.

At the time of this review, it featured a promotion with potential winnings of up to $1,000,000.

The conditions and potential prize amount may change, so it is best to check the current details directly in the poker lobby.

Run It Multiple Times

Stake supports the popular Run It Multiple Times feature.

If exactly two players remain in a hand and both are all-in, the remaining community cards can be dealt across multiple boards — up to four.

For example, if one player wins two of the four boards, they receive half of the pot.

This feature helps reduce variance in large all-in pots.

It is not available when three or more players are all-in.

Rabbit Hunting

After a hand ends, players can use the Rabbit Hunting feature.

It reveals which cards would have appeared on later streets if the players had not folded.

It does not affect the result of the completed hand in any way — the feature is purely informational.

Straddle and Re-Straddle

Straddles are available at selected Texas Hold’em and Omaha tables.

The player to the left of the big blind can voluntarily place an additional blind raise of two big blinds before the cards are dealt.

If a Straddle has already been placed, the next player may use a Re-Straddle to increase the bet further.

At least four players must be seated at the table to use this feature.

Poker Tickets

Stake uses a separate Tournament Tickets system.

Tickets can be:

• Won in a satellite;
• Earned through a poker promotion;
• Received as a special reward.

A ticket can be used to enter or re-enter a specific tournament.

Each ticket has an expiration date. Once it expires, it automatically loses its value.

Stake Poker Rake and Rakeback

In cash poker games, Stake charges rake, a small commission taken from the pots. This commission is how the poker room generates revenue.

Poker also contributes to Stake’s overall VIP program.

Rake paid in Stake Poker counts toward progress through the Stake VIP Club tiers.

Once Rakeback is unlocked, players receive a return that is calculated for poker as 3.5% of the rake paid.

Normally, Rakeback becomes available after reaching Bronze, which requires $10,000 in qualifying wagering volume, although it may also be available through certain affiliate arrangements.

Poker activity may also affect the Weekly Bonus, Monthly Bonus, and other Stake VIP rewards.

Live Poker

Stake Poker should not be confused with the Live Casino Poker section.

Stake also offers games played against the casino or dealer, such as:

• Casino Hold’em;
• Extreme Texas Hold’em;
• Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker;
• Triple Card Poker;
• Caribbean Stud Poker;
• Other games from Evolution and Pragmatic Play.

These are casino games where users play against the dealer or the game’s mathematical model.

Stake Poker, by contrast, offers genuine player-versus-player (PvP) poker, where opponents are other users.

Playing Poker on a Mobile Phone

There is no need to install a separate desktop poker client.

Stake Poker runs directly in a web browser and is accessible on both computers and mobile devices.

The client includes:

• A poker lobby;
• Cash tables;
• Tournaments;
• Tickets;
• Game history;
• Multiple tables open at the same time.

Up to six tables can be open simultaneously on one device. However, Stake does not recommend running the poker client in multiple browser tabs or on multiple devices at once, as doing so may close tables that are already active.

Can You Create Your Own Poker Club at Stake?

At the time of this review, Stake offered a shared public poker room with cash tables and tournaments.

The BONUSLAVA editorial team has not confirmed the availability of a feature comparable to PokerStars Home Games or GGClub, where an ordinary user can independently create a private club, appoint an administrator, and host private tournaments.

For this reason, Stake Poker should primarily be viewed as a traditional international poker room rather than a platform for creating home poker clubs.

Mobile Version

Stake is optimized for Android and iPhone.

There is no traditional standalone App Store or Google Play app for the international version of Stake. Instead, the platform uses a Progressive Web App (PWA), which can be added to a phone’s home screen directly from the browser.

The mobile version provides access to the casino, Live Casino, Stake Originals, sports betting, the cashier, VIP Club, and support.

Customer Support

Stake provides 24/7 customer support.

You can contact the operator through Live Chat or email.

Email: support@stake.com.

If you experience a withdrawal issue, it is best to provide your account ID, currency, amount, cryptocurrency transaction hash, or bank transaction reference.

Stake Casino Rating by the Editorial Team and Players

The editorial rating helps compare Stake with other casinos based on licensing, game selection, cryptocurrency payments, withdrawal terms, the VIP program, and customer support.

You can read and submit player reviews of Stake Casino on the BONUSLAVA forum.

Final Verdict

Stake Casino is a major international cryptocurrency casino and sportsbook that has been operating since 2017.

The platform belongs to Medium Rare N.V., registration number 145353. Its terms list Curaçao Gaming Authority license OGL/2024/1451/0918, and the official CGA certificate showed Active status at the time of this review.

Stake stands out for its Stake Originals range and Provably Fair technology. Dice, Mines, Plinko, Limbo, Keno, and Crash allow players to independently verify the results of game rounds.

The main catalog features slots from Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, Hacksaw Gaming, Nolimit City, Push Gaming, Relax Gaming, and other well-known studios. Live Casino includes more than 150 games from Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, and other providers.

Another key strength is Stake’s cryptocurrency cashier. More than 20 digital assets are supported, including BTC, ETH, USDT, LTC, DOGE, TRX, SOL, and USDC.

In addition to the casino, Stake offers a full sportsbook and poker room. Regular players can also benefit from the VIP Club, with rakeback, weekly and monthly bonuses, Reload rewards, and personal VIP managers.

However, Stake should not be considered a no-verification casino. The operator may request KYC verification at any time and suspend withdrawals until the checks are complete. Players must also wager 100% of their deposited amount (1×) before withdrawing.
