General Information About Stake

Stake Sportsbook stands out as the premier Bitcoin sports betting platform, renowned for its size and cutting-edge features. Established in 2017, it’s owned by Medium Rare N.V. and holds a Curacao gambling license. With physical offices in Australia, Cyprus, and Serbia, Stake embodies a global presence.

With more than 5 million registered users and 80 billion transactions per year, Stake boasts an extensive global sponsorship portfolio, including partnerships with Drake, UFC, Formula 1, Everton Football Club, Esporte Clube Juventude, Enyimba Football Club, and many UFC champions.

Surprisingly, I found that Stake is available in 16 languages, even the rarest ones like Hindu. Verified users from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, India, Japan, and Peru can deposit with local currencies after verifying their accounts.

All these actions can be finished perfectly via a mobile browser since Stake doesn’t have a mobile app yet.

You’ll have access to 20 cryptocurrencies and the option to buy crypto on-site with Moonpay. You can use crypto deposits to bet on over 50 sports and eSports. I found thousands of sports betting markets available and discovered that Stake covers 500,000 events annually.

To enhance your gaming experience, Stake consistently replenishes your account with betting bonuses, promotions, and valuable incentives through its VIP program. These include weekly and monthly bonuses, rakeback, cashback, and other valuable options.

Stake has a great Trustpilot reputation, garnering a 69% 5-star rating within the crypto community.

My User Experience on Mobile App and Website

When you first visit Stake.com, you’ll notice its clean and simple layout. During my review, I found its dark theme fitting for a crypto-gambling site. Everything is easy to find, but it’s not simplistic and outdated.

The platform understands what bettors need and keeps things straightforward. Clicking through different sections feels intuitive, making exploration easy. Stake.com also caters to user preferences with its odds format switch.

To help you through navigation, Stake Casino offers a range of resources such as blogs, active forums, and responsible gaming tools to support those who may require them.

My sessions through the mobile website always run smoothly without lagging or crashing, and I can confirm that all functionalities, such as claiming bonuses, placing bets, and withdrawing, are available.

My Registration Experience with Stake – Step-by-Step Sign-Up Guide

As a crypto site, Stake won’t ask you to provide all your personal information for registration. I only provided my email address and the date of birth, and that was enough. I’ve also enabled 2FA because I don’t like writing the verification code whenever I try to deposit or withdraw.

Since I completed all of these registration requirements, I’m showing you the steps below.

1. Visit Stake Casino and click on the “Register” button. You can register using your Facebook, Google account, Line, Twitch, or email. I registered using email.
2. Provide your email address, username, and password. Type your birth date and phone (optional).
3. Open your email inbox and find a message from Stake. Click on the activation link. You’ll be automatically redirected to Stake.
4. Log into your account and enter the login code you received on your email address.

💡If you wish to stop entering the code every time you log into your account, enable 2FA. Copy the code to your authenticator app, scan the QR code provided, and type your two-factor code in the field. Click on submit.

Now, you’re ready to make your first deposit and place your first bet!

Payment Information and Options

I found 20 supported cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Tether, as well as lesser-known altcoins such as Uniswap and Polygon.

1. The most attractive thing I discovered is that no minimum or maximum deposits are stated – you can deposit as much as you want without any limits.
2. Also, Stake doesn’t imply withdrawal limits, making the website a unique choice among crypto bettors.

➡️What I didn’t find are fiat deposit options.

⭐To buy crypto on-site via MoonPay, you can only use

• Visa
• Mastercard
• Apple Pay
• Google Pay
• Samsung Pay

⭐I personally tested this option, and I can confirm it works well!

Also, depending on the cryptocurrency you use, fees are added to every withdrawal you make, and they’re fixed. As I discovered, fees are consistent with the industry standard.

I’ve added the minimum withdrawal and the fees that apply to withdrawals for your reference:

Banking Option	Min/Max Withdrawal	Processing Time	Fees
Bitcoin	Min 0.00003928	Under 30 minutes	0.00001571

Polygon	Min 2.43306287	Under 30 minutes	0.97322515

Curious about the payment methods, I tried Bitcoin and Tether and purchased Bitcoin using MoonPay.

I had a really good experience with two deposit options:

➡️ Bitcoin (BTC): I navigated to my Wallet and clicked on the “Deposit” button. The drop-down menu had all the options, and I chose Bitcoin.

I copied the provided wallet address and pasted it into my Bitcoin wallet. I entered the desired deposit amount and confirmed the transaction. The funds were instantly credited into my account.

➡️ Tether (USDT) – Following the same steps, I chose Tether. After choosing the Ethereum (ERC20) network, I copied the provided code and pasted it into my Tether wallet.

I typed the amount and confirmed the transaction. The funds were instantly credited to my account.

➡️ MoonPay – I opened my Wallet and chose the Buy Crypto option. I noticed that the minimum required amount is $30, so I clicked on MoonPay.

• After that Stake redirected me to the MoonPay site, I entered my email address and clicked on the Continue button.

I entered the verification code, agreed to the terms and conditions, and clicked on the Continue button. The funds were instantly credited to my Stake account.

How Did I Place a Bet on Stake?

After I top up my account, I will continue showing you the steps to make your first bet.

My Experience with Withdrawing Winnings at Stake

You can withdraw winnings from your balance at any time. The best option is to withdraw in the same way as the deposits you made. I withdraw with EOS, and these are the steps I’ve passed:

Stake Sports Betting

🔵Betting Market – Over 37 Sports

I found over 37 sports you can bet on. Since the Stake sportsbook has partnered with UFC and Everton, the football and MMA markets are well-promoted on the site. Also, I found many unique events where you can place your bets, such as ski jumping, stock car racing, politics and entertainment, and many more.

Many interesting markets are available in American football, including half markets, quarter markets, and special markets with options: draw no bet, three-way market for the first half and the end result, handicap, Asian total, over/under, odd/even, and many more.

⭐When betting on soccer, you can choose from draw no bet, Asian total and Asian handicap, double chance, 1st goal market, correct score, both teams to score, half time/full time, odd/oven, goal range, winning margin, both halves over/under 1.5 goals, team totals, and many more.

🔵Odds

To provide a meaningful comparison of the odds at Stake, I visited the BC.Game sportsbook and conducted a real-time analysis of 3 events from EURO 2024. This allowed me to evaluate the competitiveness of the odds with concrete data rather than just stating that they are “competitive.”

You can check my findings in the table below:

Germany vs. Scotland

Germany vs. Scotland	Stake.com Odds	BC.Game Odds
1 (Germany win)	1.29	1.27
X (Draw)	6.00	5.80
2 (Scotland win)	11.00	10.00

Hungary vs. Switzerland

Hungary vs. Switzerland	Stake.com Odds	BC.Game Odds
1 (Hungary win)	3.40	3.30
X (Draw)	3.35	3.20
2 (Switzerland win)	2.24	2.27

Spain vs. Croatia

Spain vs. Croatia	Stake.com Odds	BC.Game Odds
1 (Spain win)	1.90	1.91
X (Draw)	3.50	3.35
2 (Croatia win)	4.40	4.20

As you can see, the Stake odds are more favorable than the BC.Game odds on various markets and through different events. Now, I can confidently say they’re competitive.

⭐The odds can be presented in decimal, fractional, American, Indonesian, Hong Kong, and Malaysian ways.

🔵Range of Bets

I found the range of bets at Stake impressive. For example, there are over 100 different markets in the big soccer leagues per event. I’m showing you some examples from different sports:

➡️Soccer: Time frame betting, interval markets, booking markets, booking points markets, goalscorer markets, corner markets, player markets, anytime goalscorer and player to score X or more, next goalscorer, next scoring type, goals, assists, shots and many other bets with several markets included.
➡️Tennis: Match winner, set winner, total games over/under, handicap betting, correct score, first set winner, total sets over/under, tie break in match, player to win at least one set, set betting markets, and more.
➡️Basketball: Money line, point spread, total over/under, quarter/half betting, teasers, player’s performance bets, team performance bets, winning margin, double result, handicaps, and more.

🔵Live Betting and Streaming

If you fail to make a pre-match bet on your favorite event, you can try the in-play betting option at Stake. All events and matches are available for placing live bets. Whether your interest lies in football, table tennis, volleyball, tennis, snooker, or ice hockey, a wide range of sports betting markets are available.

I must emphasize monitoring the odds since changes in the game fluctuate the odds, too. The odds frequently change depending on how the game unfolds. I found that the early cash-out option is available in live bets. You can use the option if you feel like the match won’t have the result you predicted.

To my disappointment, Stake doesn’t offer live streaming for live events. It only shows game animations and statistics you can watch in real time. I believe they will add the streaming option soon.

Betting Bonuses and Promotions

The Stake sportsbook takes a different approach to bonuses than other crypto sportsbooks. Instead of giving one-time offers to players, Stake constantly tops up the promotional page that players can take advantage of. I found many sports betting promotions available, and here is the full rundown.

• The more you wager, the higher your level will be.
• You’ll receive a bigger Rakeback starting from 5% to 15%, monthly, weekly, and daily reload bonuses

Experience: Stake offers an extensive VIP program for its users. But is it generous and easy to progress through levels? Generous – yes. But to progress to the second level, you must wager over $10,000. I think that this VIP program is intended for high rollers.

🔵Limits

When I searched the Stake Casino terms and conditions, I found no limits regarding minimum or maximum bet or maximum withdrawal. I like that a lot since I’m not limited in the amount I can bet or withdraw daily, whether small or large.

Navigating the Stake Smart and Responsible Gambling page, I found that you can set a loss and wager limit for a period of 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month. Also, you can automatically set a self-exclusion for 6 months, 1 year, and permanently.

Stake eSports

🔵Games – Over 16 Esports

Crypto bettiing doesn’t go without eSports. Here at Stake Casino, you have 16 eSports available you can bet on, including CS2, Dota2, League of Legends, Arena of Valor, Age of Empires, Warcraft3, and many more.

🔵Tournaments

Counter-Strike and Rainbow Six Siege competitions and tournaments are popular among bookmakers. Of course, there is now Overwatch 2, which has its own professional Overwatch Champions Series, plus the ever-popular League of Legends and Dota 2.

You can also bet on the biggest Dota 2 event in history, the International Tournament.

🔵Odds

When selecting an esports bookmaker, odds play a crucial role because they determine the true worth of your wagers. As with sports, I found that Stake also provides clear and competitive odds on eSports.

🔵Live Betting and Streaming

Live betting on eSports is also available on Stake. You can place your bets while the event is unfolding. This could be a bet like the next map winner on LoL or the next team/player to score in FIFA.

You can watch the match live since the live streaming options for eSports are available.

🔵Betting Bonuses and Promotions

I found one specific promotion where you can bet on eSports events: Stake’s Daily Races. By making pre-match or in-play bets on eSports and being one of 5,000 players, you can receive a share of $100,000.

🔵Limits

No limits are related to eSports betting.

How Did I Connect with Stake Customer Support: A Step-by-Step Process

If I had to choose just one site as an example of efficient customer support, I’d choose Stake.

Also, Stake is my number one choice for the extensive Help Center for its users. It covers 7 sections and over 100 in-depth articles on “how to” themes.

I got in touch with customer support using the live chat option. I was connected to the agent, Branko, who had answers to all my questions and queries. I can confirm that there are no closing chat hours since I contacted them in the middle of the night and received an answer in 5 minutes.

Wanting to check the email responsiveness, I wrote an email to support@stake.com and received an answer in 1.5 hours, which is impressive.

Other ways to find answers to your questions are the Stake blog and Stake Forum, which have 78,500 users and 1.9 million posts. You can contact the community and receive answers from the site managers and administrators there.

I discovered Stakes’ availability on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, where you can type your questions if they suit you. I honestly believe Stake customer support is hard to match among crypto betting operators.

License and Security – Is Stake Safe & Legit?

Stake Sportsbook is a fully licensed platform from the Curaçao eGaming Commission, the top regulator for crypto betting sites.

It’s owned by Medium Rare N.V. and comes from the team at Primedice, the oldest and most trusted crypto gambling site.

I really appreciate Stake’s commitment to protecting players with the added 2FA security tool and the 128-bit SSL encryption of all your information and transactions.

The fact that blockchain technology itself is the most secure and anonymous way of transaction just adds to Stake’s security as well.

I can conclude that Stake is a secure, trusted, and safe site to use.

Reputation – What do Stake player reviews say?

On a mission to find out what players think about Stake, I visited the Stake page on Reddit. There, I found positive reviews and testimonials of withdrawals, screenshots of wins that players posted, and Rakeback received at some stage of the VIP program. There are also some negative comments, but overall, good comments prevail.

Visiting Trustpilot, I found the Stake rating to be 3.8 out of 5.

• 68% of the comments are 5-star
• 7% are 4-star
• 4% are 3-star
• 2% are 2-star
• 19% are 1-star

Overall the player’s comments are positive, with some negative comments from unlucky players. I noticed that Stake is active on Trustpilot and replies to players’ comments, searching for solutions if needed.

Stake Commitment to Responsible Gambling

Reading the Stake Responsible Gambling page, it becomes clear they’re committed to responsible gambling and protecting minors. Players under 18 years old are not allowed to gamble since Stake requires all players to pass the KYC process, which is mandatory for deposits and withdrawals.

Moreover, I found that you can set your bet or loss limits for 24 hours, 1 week, and 1 month. Also, an automatic self-exclusion tool is available for a temporary or indefinite period.

Deposit Limit Tool	Wager Limit Tool
Loss Limit Tool	Time/Session Limit Tool
Self-Exclusion Tool	Cool-Off/Time-Out Tool
Reality Check Tool	Self-Assessment Tool
Withdrawal Lock	Self-Exclusion Register Participation

💡Make sure to withdraw your balance before you exclude yourself since you won’t be able to do so during the self-exclusion period.

Did I Have any Problems Playing on Stake?

I interacted with Stake for 3 days in a row with no problems. The pages load fast, and I didn’t notice any lag or crashes during this period. Deposits went smoothly, and the withdrawal also passed my test.

Overall, I had a very good experience.

How Does This Crypto Sportsbook Stand Out From Competitors?

Stake ratings and popularity among players speak for themselves. It’s a respected sportsbook and casino in the crypto community mostly because of its originality, the many promotions for sports bettors, and the competitive odds it offers.

When comparing Stake to BC.Game, we found that Stake has more competitive odds, and the ratings among players are higher. BC.Game has a 2.8 rating on the Ask Gamblers website and a 2.3/5 Trustpilot rating.

While Stake doesn’t have a welcome offer, BC.Game offers substantial welcome bonuses for new bettors.

However, I found that wagering is 20x, which is quite high for a sportsbook. Also, fees are included in deposits.

Also, check how Roobet compares to Stake.com.

Why Did I Give Stake Crypto Sportsbook a Rating of 4.9?

After weighing all factors, such as sports and eSports to bet on, competitive odds, many sports betting markets available, payment options, and available player promotions, I give Stake Sportsbook a 4.9 out of 5 rating.

Wanting to check how this rating compares to ratings from other websites, I visited CasinoGuru, AskGamblers & Trustpilot.

• CasinoGuru rated the Stake sportsbook 7.8 out of 10.
• On the AskGamblers website, I found the Stake rating to be 6.5/10
• Trustpilot users rate the Stake at 3.8 out of 5

My Final Verdict – Do I Recommend Betting at Stake?

There’s no denying that Stake has a stellar reputation among crypto bettors. Taking a different approach by not offering welcome bonuses but tons of promotions tailored for sports betting, Stake is interesting and rewarding in players’ eyes.

There are many sports and eSports to bet on, competitive odds, and thousands of sports betting markets.

With a user-friendly interface, reliable customer support, and many features to take advantage of, Stake remains a leader among crypto betting sites worldwide.
