Stake Casino Review

If you're looking for welcome bonuses, you will have to look elsewhere.

That's right, Stake Casino does not offer any kind of welcome bonus. And here's why: because it doesn't have to.

This seems to be a very conscious decision from this casino and sports betting website. Instead of luring you in with a one-time deal, they offer a very transparent, social, and engaging experience.

And - don't worry - there are still many other promotions. Whether you prefer playing at the casino or placing sports bets, there are regular bonuses and exciting challenges at any given time. Just not a welcome bonus.

If you take part in the Stake Community, you will be entitled to even more benefits. All you have to do is having an active presence on Stake Casino's chat and forum.

What's more, as the official sponsors of MMA legend Israel Adesanya, Stake also gives you the chance to win triple on his fights!

Other Available Bonuses

• Stake Races: Race against your new and existing friends in the Stake community for a chance to win decent prizes.
• Telegram Challenges: Join the Stake Telegram channel and get notified about the daily promotions. Some prizes are definitely worth the effort.
• Special Offers: Play for a $212K Lamborghini, try a new strategy with a money back offer, double your winnings, and more!

VIP Program

If you play your cards right and have proven your loyalty to the casino, you can be invited to Stake's VIP program.

The benefits are definitely worth it. You will start with a few bonuses, then progress to exclusive goodies, and end in luxurious trips to gambling capitals around the world.

Modern. Crisp. Welcoming.

Stake Casino might have a clean and shamelessly young look, and yet it was designed to make you feel right at home.

As soon as you load it, it's clear that this website places a lot of emphasis on its social experience, where you're more than just another unidentified player at an online casino.

A couple of features stand out for how much they made us feel like an active part of the community:

• The player's chat on the right-hand side (available as soon as you log in).
• The winner's feed at the bottom of the page.

This marriage of modern and welcoming is a refreshing vibe; and one that we highly appreciated from the get-go.

If you're worried about anonymity on the chat and winner's feed, you're not alone. Stake understands that players might not want their activity exposed on the website. You can always opt-out from having your username revealed in the results overview.

If we had to sum up Stake Casino's selection of games in one word, we'd call it "interesting". Let's dive into it.

First, let's address the large variety of games on offer.

Stake's portfolio includes a decent selection of different casino games, as well as a comprehensive sportsbook product:

• Dice
• Limbo
• Hilo
• Keno
• Mines
• Plinko
• Blackjack
• Roulette
• Slot
• Crash
• Wheel
• Diamonds
• Baccarat
• Video poker
• Slide
• Sportsbook
• Esports

Stake Originals

In the Stake Originals section, there are over 15 different games, all original.

You will find casino classics like a slot machine, roulette, and blackjack, as well as some lesser-known games such as dice and keno.

If you are looking to get to know new casino games, then limbo, mines, or plinko are also on the table.

As the name indicates, none of these games are created by external providers; they're all developed by Stake. They might not be your favorite slot by NetEnt, but they offer something else: transparency and house edge:

• Transparency: All 15 games are provably fair, which means you can verify the outcome of every single spin yourself.
• Low House Edge: Since Stake controls the development of these games, it can guarantee the lowest house edge possible. This means you gain a little bit more on any winning round.

In our book this type of innovation is a welcome change from the more traditional games you find in most casinos out there - you just have to decide if it's right for you.

Slot Games And More

Of course, if you do want to play some tried and true casino games - say, from providers like Yggdrasil, Big Time Gaming, or Push Gaming - you can also find them at Stake. However, a few established game studios (such as Microgaming) are missing, but there are still more than 2,000 other slots for you to choose from.

Before you open any game, you can see the house edge - which is often quite low in comparison with other casinos! This way, you can easily play the game with the biggest benefit for the player.

If you want to be completely sure of your odds, you can also check out the real-time wins and losses and pick the hottest games of the moment. 

Sports Bets At Stake

Stake is more than just a Bitcoin casino: it also provides a stellar sports betting period.

Expect to find your traditional selection of in-play and pre-match fixtures on all the top sports, including:

• American Football
• Association Football (Soccer)
• Basketball
• Ice Hockey
• Tennis

Stake also offers competitive odds in up-and-coming competitions like eSports and fighting sports. As a matter of fact, popular MMA fighter Israel Adesanya is a brand ambassador.

Stake is licensed by the government of Curaçao. Due to this license, Stake is not able to operate in all countries. Players in restricted territories are not allowed to use the services of the platform.

In addition to having a license, all of Stake's original games are also provably fair. This means that you can always review the gameplay in case you have any doubts regarding the outcome of a game.

The casino also has a Crypto Gambling Foundation seal. This is a seal of approval from an impartial organization that assures you the casino is indeed trustworthy.

Does Stake Accept Canadian Players?

Yes! Stake does accept Canadian players from all provinces and territories.

Although no CAD (Canadian Dollars) payments are available, since all transactions are cryptocurrency-exclusive, the website caters to a Canadian audience with:

• Dedicated bonuses in CAD (Canadian Dollars)
• English and French websites available (including customer support)
• Focus on popular leagues like the NHL and NFL

Stake is, above all, a blockchain casino where you can only play with cryptocurrencies. The following 8 coins are available:

• Bitcoin
• Ethereum
• Litecoin
• Ripple
• Tron
• Bitcoin Cash
• Dogecoin
• EOS

Although no fiat currencies are available, you can use them to buy cryptocurrencies directly on Stake's website, using a third-party provider: MoonPay.

You can always find the current exchange rate for BTC to USD at the bottom of the page.

There is also an Exchange tab on your account, where you can trade several alt-coins for an equivalent amount in one of Stake's available cryptos.

Payment Speed And Safety

When it comes to rating any casino, we highly value how easily, safely, and fast you can deposit and withdraw. Basically, we want all transactions to be as hassle-free as possible.

Stake Casino does rate well in all aspects. For instance, the processing times for all currencies are usually immediate, although that can be influenced by the speed of the blockchain network.

However, we did find two small issues:

• When it comes to withdrawals, you are subject to a small fee.
• You need to create an account and reveal your identity to play at Stake, which could, potentially, put your data at risk.

The last factor, however, is countered by Stake's two-factor identification process, which ensures the safety of your personal data.

Any questions or problems that might come up will be taken care of by the friendly support team. You can contact them via email or through live chat.

Although we believe both options are more than fine, using the live chat does tend to provide quicker, more personalized support, so we strongly suggest you use it as your preferred channel.

Stake promises that a team member will answer your questions within a few minutes, but this is usually much faster.

Unfortunately, this casino doesn't offer a FAQ page, so you will need to get in touch with any questions you may have. There is, however, a blog and a forum where you can find some answers.

Stake is also active on the following social media platforms:

• Twitter
• Facebook
• Instagram

As we mentioned before, there is also players' chat on the right-hand side of the page. This is perfect if you have some general questions that fellow players might be able to answer or if you just want to chat with like-minded people.
