One of the largest crypto casino-and-sportsbook platforms globally by game count and volume — but explicitly unavailable to U.S., U.K. and Australian residents.
Stake launched in 2017 and has grown into one of the largest crypto gambling platforms in the world by volume, operating under a Curaçao Gaming Authority license through Medium Rare N.V. It combines a 6,000-plus-game casino — including 31 in-house Stake Originals like Dice, Mines, Plinko and Crash — with a sportsbook available through the same account.
The most important fact for U.S. readers specifically: Stake.com is not available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, or more than 40 other countries. U.S. residents looking for a Stake-branded product are directed instead to Stake.us, a separate sweepstakes-model platform with a different structure and no direct cash wagering.
The welcome offer is a 200% deposit match up to $2,000, one of the larger headline percentages in this category, though it requires completing Level 2 identity verification (KYC) before it can be claimed and carries a 40x wagering requirement on deposit plus bonus combined — both above-average requirements relative to competitors.
Stake supports more than 20 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Solana and XRP, with a $10 minimum deposit and no stated maximum on crypto withdrawals. Listed payout timing is 0 to 2 days, and crypto withdrawals are commonly reported as near-instant once approved.
Stake carries a 3.9 TrustScore across more than 16,500 Trustpilot reviews, with about 65% five-star and 21% one-star — a platform this large will always accumulate a meaningful volume of complaints, and the ratio here is broadly in line with other major crypto casinos rather than an outlier in either direction. Positive reviews center on game variety and payout speed; negative reviews cluster around withdrawal delays and support responsiveness during disputes.
Stake's scale and game library are genuinely industry-leading, but for the large majority of readers on this site, the practical answer is simpler than a star rating: if you're in the United States, Stake.com itself isn't an option, and Stake.us is a materially different product. For bettors outside its blocked-country list, it's a well-established, if polarizing-at-the-margins, platform.
No. Stake.com explicitly blocks access from the United States, along with the United Kingdom, Australia, and more than 40 other countries. U.S. residents are directed to Stake.us, a separate sweepstakes-style platform, not Stake.com itself.
Stake operates under a genuine Curaçao Gaming Authority license and has run since 2017 with a large volume of Trustpilot reviews (3.9 TrustScore, about 65% five-star). It's a real, large-scale platform, though it does draw a meaningful share of withdrawal-delay and support complaints typical of platforms its size.
