XRP Stake came from the team at Primedice (review), one of the oldest and most trusted crypto gambling sites. Stake has long been one of the best crypto dice sites (review) and casinos (review), now they have added a fantastic sportsbook. Stake is a full featured dedicated sportsbook, not a casino with a sportsbook squeezed in as an afterthought.
One great feature is the smallest minimum bet in the industry. At the time of writing the minimum bet of 100 satoshis is slightly more than $0.01 USD! This is perfect for testing new betting and staking strategies you are working on. In addition, Stake offer a very large max bet which is commendable.
User experience
The design is beautiful and intuitive on all devices. You will never be confused or left looking for something that is not where you expect it. Everything works and flows perfectly. The dark theme allows for long sessions in total comfort. The community chat – where you can pick your language – is always active and helpful with the sports betting chat kept separate from the casino chat.
Stake run regular promotions on their site, for example money back specials, raffles and a VIP loyalty program. As you progress from bronze through to diamond within this program you earn more promotions and benefits, which is a nice touch.
Odds
Sportsbook's overround: 4.8%
50:50 equivalent: 1.91
The odds are good value and competitive. Like everywhere, the live odds have quite a bit more overround built into them than the pre-live odds do.
NFL odds seem to highly competitive, while the minor sports and more obscure markets do have a bigger edge.
Range of bets
Range of sports, leagues and events: Great. A huge range of sports are available.
Range of bet types per event: Huge, over 100 different markets on the big soccer leagues.
Live betting
The live betting is wonderful. You get a clear detailed scoreboard, real time odds changes and rising/falling odds indicators. The cashout feature is smooth and easy to use.
The coverage is very comprehensive including minor sports and leagues, however we are disappointed by the lack of integrated streams.
Transactions
Unique deposit addresses: Not available.
Confirmations before bet: 1.
Withdrawal time: Instant.
Player to player transfer: Available.
You can deposit with any of the hundreds of cryptos supported by Coinswitch and have it converted to any of the half a dozen main coins of your balance.
We love the max withdrawal button which saves you from having to enter your full balance down to 8 decimal places, although the minimum you can withdraw is 2 m฿, which is high.
Customer service
Customer service channels available: Live chat and community chat.
Speed of replies: Nearly instant.
Accuracy of replies: Good, staff are well trained and knowledgeable.

Overall
Stake is a fun sportsbook to bet on with good odds, a great website, tiny minimum bets and large max bets. The sportsbook is close to perfect and as a bonus you get great dice and casino games to play from the same account balance. The overall high quality of operation and how everything just works lets you know you are in good hands and your funds are safe.

Not specifically but Pinnacle and Betfair exchange would be the obvious places to look for the best odds with fiat.
