Crypto only is great, makes deposits and withdrawals so much faster.
Stake takes 21 cryptocurrencies and offers limits you set yourself, but the regulator’s register lists its license as under assessment.

Yes, Stake is licensed. Medium Rare N.V. holds Curaçao license OGL/2024/1451/0918, Active on the validator on September 14, 2026, though the register says “Assessment in progress”.
Crypto withdrawals usually land within minutes, though larger ones may need manual processing. Card and bank withdrawals take up to 3 business days.
No, Stake.com does not accept US players. Its terms bar the whole United States, and stake.us is a separate sweepstakes site run by a different company.

License on Curaçao’s validator and register, plus Stake’s terms, bonus rules, VIP ranks and help center
Deposited and withdrew our own funds. Written by people who played, checked by someone who did not.
Stake is the crypto casino the rest of the market measures itself against. It has run since 2017 as a crypto casino and sportsbook in one, it takes 21 cryptocurrencies, and 31 provably fair Originals sit beside the Slots and the book. It is big, polished and busy, and it knows it.
Medium Rare N.V. runs it under Curaçao Gaming Authority license OGL/2024/1451/0918, granted in June 2025. Unusually for a crypto casino, it lets you set your own loss, wager and deposit limits, and it restricts 45 jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Ontario.
It’s the biggest in the crypto casino sector by a mile, and a safe bet providing you’re in the right place and can play there legally.
What's good
What's not
5 equally weighted criteria, scored by the tester who played - never by the operator. The overall score is their average, rounded to one decimal: 3.7 out of 5.
Stake.com is owned and operated by Medium Rare N.V., registration number 145353, at Seru Loraweg 17 B, Curaçao, and the terms make that company your contracting party. Two Cyprus companies act as its payment agents, Medium Rare Limited of Nicosia, registration HE 410775, and MRS Tech Ltd of Larnaca, registration HE 477481. The terms are governed by Curaçao law and give the courts of Curaçao exclusive jurisdiction, although the same clause lets Stake bring claims elsewhere.
Stake.com operates under Curaçao Gaming Authority license OGL/2024/1451/0918. On September 14, 2026 the regulator’s certificate page showed the license for Medium Rare N.V. and stake.com as granted on June 9, 2025, with a current status of Active and no expiry date. The regulator’s license register dated September 14, 2026 lists the same license with an expiry of June 9, 2026 and a status of “Assessment in progress”, so the regulator’s two sources disagree.
Separate companies hold Stake’s local licenses. Stake’s license page lists SPA/MF ordinance No. 263 for stake.bet.br in Brazil, Coljuegos license C1751 for Stake Colombia S.A.S. at stake.com.co, permit DGAJS/SCEVF/P-06/2005-TER for Producciones Móviles S.A. de C.V. in Mexico, and licenses 4748-2024 and 4749-2024 for stake.pe in Peru. Stake Denmark A/S is on the Danish regulator’s list for stake.dk. None of those licenses covers stake.com, and Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Denmark are all on stake.com’s restricted list. Stake is also listed as verified on the Crypto Gambling Foundation network.
Stake’s terms recommend two-factor authentication, and Stake says its site uses SSL encryption. Every Stake Original can be checked as provably fair, on Stake’s own verification page or on third-party sites. Stake’s AML policy says wallets are screened with Chainalysis, and ID and age checks go through an outside verification service.
On September 14, 2026 Trustpilot scored Stake 3.9 out of 5 from 11,689 reviews, and 5,969 of those were posted in the last 12 months. Stake had replied to 98% of its negative reviews, and the profile carried a notice that the company has received regulatory attention.
Clause 14.3 of Stake’s terms bars anyone located in 45 jurisdictions, residents of other countries included: Afghanistan, Argentina, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, the Cayman Islands, Colombia, Croatia, Cuba, Curaçao, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Liberia, Libya, Lithuania, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, North Korea, Ontario, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, South Africa, South Sudan, Spain, Sudan, Syria, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States and Zimbabwe.
The whole United States is restricted, so no US state is open on stake.com. In Canada only Ontario is named, and Stake’s help center documents Canadian dollar deposits and withdrawals for the rest of the country.
Clause 14.4 says hiding your real location with a VPN, proxy or similar service breaches the terms, and Stake says it detects IP masking. Stake can close or suspend the account and void bets, and when it closes an account for a breach, the terms let it withhold any amounts in it, winnings included.

I trust Stake about as much as I trust any crypto brand. Its Danish license doesn't come into it, because it covers stake.dk and Denmark is restricted on stake.com. The regulator's validator shows the Curaçao license as Active while its own September register lists it under assessment, and the terms set no time limit on holding a withdrawal during an investigation. I would get verified before depositing anything I could not afford to see held.

Welcome bonus
3.5% rakeback from sign-up with an affiliate code
The bonus does not credit itself
Enter a valid affiliate code on the Offers page within 24 hours of opening your account.
Stake rakeback returns 3.5% of the house edge on casino games and 3.5% of the rake on Poker. On sports it pays 3.5% of a bet’s theoretical value at a 3% edge, and voided and cashed-out sports bets do not count.
In dollars, a slot with a 4% house edge pays 14 cents back for every $100 you wager, and a $100 sports bet earns about 10.5 cents. Rakeback starts at the Bronze VIP rank, after $10,000 of wagering, unless an affiliate code switches it on at sign-up, and you can claim it from the VIP page at any time.
The weekly boost is posted in Stake’s VIP Telegram channel on Saturdays at 12:30 GMT, can be claimed from the VIP tab 24 hours later, and carries no wagering. Its size depends on your VIP rank, your last 7 days of wagering and the house edge of what you played, and only VIPs who played in the previous week get one.
The monthly bonus arrives by email around the middle of the month for players with a verified email who subscribe to Stake’s emails, and its coupon lasts 3 months.
Stake runs a $100,000 daily race over 24 hours in which the top 5,000 players win, and a weekly raffle that gives one ticket per $1,000 wagered on the casino or sportsbook. Stake’s VIP page puts the raffle at $75,000, while one help article says $50,000 or $75,000. Bonus Drops, birthday coupons for verified players and level-up bonuses from support or a VIP host come on top.
Stake’s help center ranks players by total wagering, with sports bets counting 3x toward progress, across 15 levels:
Reloads can be claimed once every 24 hours, and a missed claim expires. Stake’s VIP page describes VIP bonuses as instantly withdrawable, but it shows a shorter ladder that groups Platinum I to III as $250,000 to $2.5 million, ends at Diamond and has no Obsidian rank, so the VIP page and the help center disagree from Platinum up.
Separate code landing pages, dated between June 2025 and July 2026, carry their own 200% matches at 40x wagering on deposit plus bonus.
The 40x term on those landing pages is the one to judge. On a $100 deposit a 200% match adds $200, and 40x on deposit plus bonus means ($100 + $200) x 40 = $12,000 of bets before you can withdraw. Stake’s deposit bonus rules count bets against a 4% house edge, so a game with a 1% edge counts $0.25 of every $1 wagered, and clearing the same requirement on it takes $48,000 of bets. On a game that keeps $4 of every $100, $12,000 of bets costs about $480 on average for a $200 bonus.
Stake’s help center example uses 30x and says the multiplier varies with your affiliate and the bonus type, so read the multiplier on your own offer before you deposit. Stake’s general deposit bonus rules exclude all 31 Stake Originals, Stake Poker and a long list of third-party Slots while a bonus is active, although some landing pages say all casino and sportsbook games count, and withdrawals are denied until the wagering is complete.

Over my first 2 weeks the rakeback added up nicely, and I like that the weekly boost comes with no wagering. The welcome side is where I would slow down. Stake's own pages describe the welcome offer two different ways, and the 200% matches on Stake's code landing pages carry 40x on deposit plus bonus, so I would read the terms attached to my own code before depositing.

Stake says it has over 3,000 casino games, and one of its pages puts the Slots alone at over 3,000, while its own Trustpilot description says over 2,000 games. They come from dozens of studios.
Stake’s homepage FAQ names Pragmatic Play, Hacksaw Gaming, Twist Gaming and Evolution, and Stake’s deposit bonus rules list Slots from NetEnt, Play’n GO, Red Tiger, BGaming, Push Gaming, Relax Gaming, Yggdrasil, ELK, Big Time Gaming, Playtech, Quickspin and Thunderkick among others. The terms let Stake change the house edge of any slot without notice.
Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live run most of Stake’s live floor, with a few smaller studios beside them, for around 200 live tables in all. Blackjack is one of the Originals, and Stake also runs Stake Poker and rummy, which have their own sections in its help center. Stake Poker is excluded while a deposit bonus is active.
Stake Originals are 31 in-house games, including Blackjack, Bars, Cases, Chicken, Crash, Darts, Dice, Drill, Dragon Tower, Flip, Hilo, Keno, Limbo, Mines, Moles, Packs, Primedice, Plinko, Pump, Rock Paper Scissors, Slide, Snakes and Tarot. All of them can be verified as provably fair. Most of them, Dice, Limbo, Crash, Plinko and Mines included, run at a 1% house edge. Stake’s deposit bonus rules say most of its games carry a 3.5% to 4.5% house edge, which keeps $3.50 to $4.50 of every $100 wagered.
Crash and the other Originals have limits per currency, such as a maximum bet of 100 BTC with a maximum profit of 20 BTC, or 25,000,000 USDT with a maximum profit of 2,500,000 USDT, and the minimum bet is $0.0001. Stake’s general deposit bonus rules exclude every Original while a bonus is active.
Stake’s sportsbook shares one account with the casino. Its homepage FAQ names the major football and basketball leagues, esports including Dota 2 and CS:GO, live betting and free live streaming, and Stake’s sportsbook rules name 30 sports, including F1, MotoGP, NASCAR, darts, snooker, Aussie rules and alpine skiing, plus all other sports. An older Stake promotion page says the book covers over 170,000 events a year.
Stake Shield is a flexi multi option for bets with 3 or more legs. The rules let Stake void a bet whose payout is more than 100% above the market average, matches not completed within 48 hours are void, and voided bets do not count toward VIP progress.

Whatever I went looking for, the newest Hacksaw release or an old NetEnt favorite, was there, and I sat in on a few live tables during my week of testing. Stake says the library tops 3,000 games, so I would not repeat the bigger numbers I have seen quoted for it. The Originals and the sportsbook are the parts I would single out, and every Original can be verified as provably fair.

Stake’s help center lists 21 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDT, USDC, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and Tron, plus BCH, EOS, BNB, APE, CRO, DAI, LINK, SAND, SHIB, UNI, POL and TRUMP. Stake’s homepage FAQ says 20.
USDT runs on ERC20, BEP20, Polygon, TRC20 and Solana, and XRP and EOS deposits need a memo or tag. Stake does not support the Arbitrum, Optimism, Base or Cronos networks. Crypto deposits under $0.01 are not processed automatically, and there is no maximum crypto deposit. Stake’s cashier includes XRP, TRX and LTC, and our pages on XRP casinos, Tron casinos and Litecoin casinos compare other sites that take each one.
Without crypto, you can buy coins in the wallet through MoonPay or Swapped. In some countries Stake takes Visa and Mastercard in the local currency, with limits such as CA$5 to CA$3,000 in Canada, NZ$5 to NZ$1,000 in New Zealand, and $5 to $1,000 in listed countries including Ecuador and Panama. Card deposits are near real time but can take 1 to 3 business days, and bank transfer deposits take up to 24 hours. Players in Canada outside Ontario can withdraw by Interac through Payper Inc., and players in India can deposit in rupees.
You have to wager every deposit once before you can withdraw it, whether you paid in crypto or local currency. Crypto withdrawals usually land within minutes, and its help center says larger ones may need manual processing. Card withdrawals go back only to the card you deposited with and take up to 3 business days, and bank transfer and Interac withdrawals also take up to 3 business days.
Fees are set per coin, such as 1 USDT on a 2.5 USDT minimum or 0.00001571 BTC on a 0.00002504 BTC minimum, and clause 8.9 lets Stake charge a withdrawal fee at its discretion. Stake’s local-currency guide calls crypto transactions free from transaction fees, which the per-coin fee table contradicts.
Stake’s terms let it ask for identity checks at any time and refuse a withdrawal until your identity is verified, and extra checks are possible on any withdrawal. Its AML policy suspends an account that reaches a risk-based withdrawal threshold until checks are done, and those deeper checks usually start once your deposits pass about $2,000. Stake needs email and account verification before a crypto deposit, and players in Canada must verify their identity before a first withdrawal in Canadian dollars.
Stake’s English help center defines Level 1 verification, and a Stake landing page for Brazil describes Level 2 as an approved ID. Stake accepts a passport, or a national ID or driver’s license photographed on both sides, valid for at least 3 more months.
Stake can also ask for proof of address issued within the last 6 months, and a mobile phone bill won’t do. It may want a selfie holding your ID and proof of income such as 3 to 6 months of bank statements. Most checks clear within minutes, and one sent to manual review usually takes 24 to 48 hours. If Stake cannot verify your identity or source of funds, it can close the account and withhold the balance.
Stake’s help center says there is no maximum crypto withdrawal amount. Minimums are set per coin and shown on the withdrawal screen, and Stake may pay back through your deposit method, split a withdrawal, or reject and merge several pending requests. The ceilings that matter most apply to play. Each Original caps profit per currency, and third-party games are capped by each game’s own maximum multiplier. Withdrawals and tips are blocked while a deposit bonus is active.

I funded my account in seconds, and my crypto withdrawals cleared quickly once they were approved. Larger withdrawals can go to manual review, so I would not count on that speed every time. What I would plan around is the rule that every deposit is wagered once before a withdrawal, and the identity checks that usually start once deposits pass about $2,000, so I would get verified before I had a win waiting.

Stake’s official casino domain is stake.com, and its help center lists four official mirror sites that use the same account: playstake.club, playstake.info, playstake.io and playstake.casino. Separate companies run Stake’s local sites, stake.bet.br in Brazil, stake.pe in Peru and stake.dk in Denmark, and the sweepstakes site stake.us. The domain stake.pr appears on neither the mirror list nor Stake’s license page.
Sign-up takes an email and password, or a Google, Facebook, Line, Twitch or Kick account, and Stake requires email verification. Stake’s help center covers two-factor authentication and password resets, and live chat only opens once you are logged in.
Stake has an iOS app on the App Store, listed with Medium Rare N.V. and TGP Europe Limited as the seller. On September 14, 2026 it was available in the Canadian, Brazilian and Venezuelan App Stores but not in the US store, and on Android, Stake’s own guide installs its web app from the browser, with no native Android download. Be careful with any app offered as Stake’s on another site.
Stake offers 24/7 live chat and email at [email protected], and account closures go to [email protected]. Stake says it operates in 15 languages, and its help center is published in 17, with 142 articles in English. Complaints go to live chat or email. The terms say Stake will try to resolve them promptly, but they give no timeline and name no independent dispute service.
Stake Smart, Stake’s Responsible Gambling section, offers these tools:
Promotional entries and wagers made during self-exclusion are forfeited. Stake links Gamblers Anonymous, Gambling Therapy, the National Council on Problem Gambling and Gamtalk, and blocking tools including Betblocker, Netnanny and Gamblock. Stake’s own limits are the place to start, and our Responsible Gambling guide has more on choosing them before you deposit.
Go to stake.com and click Register. Enter an email and password, or use a Google, Facebook, Line, Twitch or Kick account. Check first that you are not in one of the 45 restricted jurisdictions, which include the US, the UK, Australia and Ontario.
Verify your email and turn on two-factor authentication, which Stake's terms recommend. If you have an affiliate code, enter it on the Offers page within 24 hours of opening the account.
Open the wallet and deposit in one of 21 cryptocurrencies, or by local card or bank transfer where Stake offers one. Each deposit has to be wagered once before you can withdraw it, and Stake can ask for ID at any time.
If it stops being fun, call or text the National Problem Gambling Helpline, run by the National Council on Problem Gambling, on 1-800-MY-RESET.

The layout is so familiar I found my way around it in under 10 seconds, play on my phone was smooth throughout, and I got a quick, competent reply from support both times I reached out. The limits are what I would point a new player to, because you can set loss, wager and deposit limits yourself. I would like the deposit limit to come in weekly and monthly versions, as the loss limit does.

Stake bonus codes come from three places: affiliate codes that attach a welcome offer to a new account, Bonus Drop codes that Stake posts on its social channels, and codes printed on Stake’s own landing pages. Stake’s terms of service do not mention a bonus code, promo code or welcome bonus, and Stake’s hidden 200% deposit bonus shows no code. Stake’s pages give three different claim routes, which are entering a code on the Offers page, messaging live support, or depositing through the promotion’s own link.
A Stake affiliate code activates the welcome offer that Stake’s help center describes, 3.5% of the house edge back as rakeback, as long as you enter it on the Offers page within 24 hours of opening your account. Stake says new players redeem that offer with a code provided by its affiliates, which is what a Stake referral code is.
Codes on Stake’s own landing pages add deposit matches with their own terms. One offers 200% on a deposit of $100 to $1,000 at 40x on deposit plus bonus, with a maximum bet of 1% of the deposit, credited 24 to 48 hours after review. Another offers 200% on $20 to $200 at 40x, and a separate rakeback page offers 3.5% rakeback on sign-up through live support, skipping the $10,000 of wagering that Bronze normally needs. These pages are dated between June 2025 and July 2026, so read the terms attached to yours before you deposit.
Bonus Drop codes are case-sensitive codes that Stake posts on Telegram, on X and during Eddie’s stream. Stake’s help center says your account needs a set amount of wagering over the previous 7 days to redeem one. Drop codes go fast, so follow Stake on Telegram and X if you want them.
I would play at Stake, and I would set my limits before the first deposit. It has run since 2017, and one account covers a lot of ground. The cashier takes 21 cryptocurrencies plus local-currency cards and bank transfers in some countries, the casino runs 31 provably fair Originals alongside third-party Slots and live tables, the sportsbook rules name 30 sports, and the VIP ladder runs from Bronze at $10,000 to Obsidian at $1 billion of wagering. Its Responsible Gambling tools include loss, wager and daily deposit limits you set yourself, casino or sportsbook exclusions from 24 hours to indefinite, and self-exclusion for at least 6 months.
The license and the terms hold the score down. The Curaçao regulator’s validator showed license OGL/2024/1451/0918 as Active on September 14, 2026, while its register dated September 14, 2026 lists the license under assessment after a June 9, 2026 expiry. The terms let Stake delay withdrawals during an investigation with no time limit, withhold funds from accounts it closes for a breach, and treat management’s dispute decisions as final. Stake’s own pages describe its welcome offer in different ways, and the 200% matches on its code landing pages carry 40x wagering on deposit plus bonus.
If you live outside the 45 restricted jurisdictions and want a big sportsbook, Originals and limits you control in one account, Stake is hard to beat. If you need an independent body to hear a dispute, or a welcome bonus with its wagering printed on the offer, it is not built for you. Stake scores 3.7 out of 5.
Log in at stake.com with the email and password you registered, or with the Google, Facebook, Line, Twitch or Kick account you signed up with. If you turned on two-factor authentication, enter your two-factor code, and if you have forgotten your password, the reset option emails you a link. Stake’s help center lists playstake.club, playstake.info, playstake.io and playstake.casino as official mirror sites that use the same account, and a login page on any other look-alike domain is not on that list. Live chat only opens once you are logged in, so if you are locked out, email [email protected].
Yes, Stake is a licensed casino that has run since 2017. Medium Rare N.V. holds Curaçao Gaming Authority license OGL/2024/1451/0918, which the regulator’s validator showed as Active on September 14, 2026, although the regulator’s register dated September 14, 2026 lists it as “Assessment in progress” after a June 9, 2026 expiry. Trustpilot showed 3.9 out of 5 on the same date, with a regulatory attention notice on the profile.
Stake is a crypto casino and sportsbook at stake.com, run since 2017 by Medium Rare N.V. of Curaçao. It takes 21 cryptocurrencies plus local-currency cards and bank transfers in some countries, runs 31 provably fair Stake Originals alongside third-party Slots and live tables, and ranks players in a VIP program with rakeback and reloads. Stake says it has over 3,000 casino games.
Stake is owned and operated by Medium Rare N.V., registration number 145353, at Seru Loraweg 17 B, Curaçao. Medium Rare Limited and MRS Tech Ltd in Cyprus act as payment agents, and separate companies run Stake’s local sites in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Denmark and the stake.us sweepstakes site.
No, Stake.com does not accept players in the United States. Its terms bar anyone located anywhere in the US. Stake.us is a separate sweepstakes casino run by Sweepsteaks Limited of Cyprus, with no purchase necessary, for players 21 and over in the continental US and Hawaii, and its terms exclude 22 states including New York, California and Michigan.
Yes, Stake is available in Canada, except Ontario. Stake’s terms name Ontario as a prohibited jurisdiction, and Stake’s help center documents Canadian dollar deposits by card and bank transfer, and withdrawals including Interac, for the rest of the country. A Canada-only “Deposit $10, get $10” offer on a Stake page required a deposit before June 1, 2026 and has expired.
Yes, Stake has an iOS app, sold by Medium Rare N.V. and TGP Europe Limited on the App Store. On September 14, 2026 it was listed in the Canadian, Brazilian and Venezuelan App Stores but not the US store, and on Android, Stake’s own guide installs its web app from the browser, with no native Android download.
The way to spot a fake Stake site is to check the domain against Stake’s own lists. The casino is at stake.com, and Stake’s help center names four official mirrors that use the same account: playstake.club, playstake.info, playstake.io and playstake.casino. Stake’s licensed local sites include stake.bet.br and stake.pe, and stake.dk and stake.us are separate sites run by other companies. The domain stake.pr is on neither Stake’s mirror list nor its license page.
Yes, there are Stake bonus codes, in the form of affiliate codes that attach a welcome offer and Bonus Drop codes posted on Stake’s social channels. Stake’s hidden 200% deposit bonus shows no code, and Stake’s terms of service do not mention bonus codes. Codes on Stake’s own landing pages carry 200% matches at 40x wagering on deposit plus bonus.
A Stake Bonus Drop code is a case-sensitive code that Stake posts on Telegram, on X and during Eddie’s stream. Stake’s help center says your account needs a set amount of wagering over the previous 7 days to redeem one.
A Stake referral code is an affiliate code, and Stake says new players redeem its welcome offer with a code from its affiliates. Stake’s help center says the code goes on the Offers page within 24 hours of opening an account and activates 3.5% of the house edge back as rakeback. Each affiliate’s code can carry different terms.
Yes, Stake has a welcome offer, and its own pages describe it in different ways. Stake’s help center says new players get rakeback of 3.5% of the house edge by entering an affiliate code on the Offers page within 24 hours of sign-up. A 200% deposit bonus of up to $2,000 sits on a hidden Stake page, and 200% matches on Stake’s code landing pages carry 40x on deposit plus bonus, which is $12,000 of bets on a $100 deposit.
The Stake VIP program ranks players by how much they wager, from Bronze at $10,000 to Obsidian at $1 billion in Stake’s help center, with sports bets counting 3x. Bronze starts rakeback, Platinum ranks add reloads, and a dedicated VIP host comes at Platinum IV, after $2,500,000 of wagering. Stake’s VIP page shows a shorter ladder with no Obsidian rank, so the two pages disagree.
Stake crypto withdrawals usually land within minutes, and card and bank transfer withdrawals take up to 3 business days. Stake’s help center says larger crypto withdrawals may need manual processing. Every deposit has to be wagered once before you can withdraw it, and there is no maximum crypto withdrawal.
Yes, Stake requires identity checks. Its terms let Stake ask for verification at any time and refuse a withdrawal until you are verified, and its AML policy suspends accounts that reach a risk-based withdrawal threshold, and those deeper checks usually start once deposits pass about $2,000. Stake accepts a passport, national ID or driver’s license valid for at least 3 more months, and can also ask for proof of address, a selfie holding your ID and proof of income.
No, you cannot use a VPN on Stake. Stake’s terms say hiding your location with a VPN or proxy breaches the terms, and Stake can close or suspend the account, void bets and, when it closes an account for a breach, withhold the balance, winnings included.
Yes, Stake has a sportsbook on the same account as the casino. It covers the major football and basketball leagues, esports such as Dota 2 and CS:GO, live betting and free live streaming, and its rules name 30 sports, including F1, MotoGP, NASCAR, darts and snooker.
Stake Originals are Stake’s 31 in-house games, including Crash, Dice, Plinko, Mines, Limbo, Blackjack, Keno and Hilo, and every one of them can be verified as provably fair. Most of them, Dice, Limbo, Crash, Plinko and Mines included, run at a 1% house edge, while Stake’s deposit bonus rules say most of its games carry a 3.5% to 4.5% house edge, which keeps $3.50 to $4.50 of every $100 wagered.
