Stake.com Review

Stake is a relatively new bookmaker, which offers users the full betting experience, but in crypto. Deposits and withdrawals are only allowed in cryptocurrencies on this self-identified "crypto-casino".

With crypto gaining popularity, so are its use cases. I get the move hand-in-hand with the hype, but for the sake of user-friendliness, I would love to see the betting site add more payment methods.

While Stake is focused on providing a great casino experience, they have not neglected their sportsbook either. With a super fast website and multiple accepted cryptocurrencies, you are sure to find the hottest matches and place a bet.

Stake offers 100% match bonus of up to $500.

I know, dollars..., but most crypto is traded in dollars, so it makes sense for Stake to use it as a main currency.

In this review, I will cover how you can claim the full welcome bonus, and discuss the features of the bookmaker and Stake's customer support.

This way I will take the guesswork out and let you enjoy what you came here for - a nice experience with a trusted bookmaker.

Stake.com offers regular bonuses and promotions for existing customers. Most of these casino promotions revolve around being on a certain game's leaderboard or betting with a multiplier.

There are also sports bonuses, such as backing a specific team for boosted winnings or cash back if a pre-selected team loses.

Stake launched its site in 2017 and has enjoyed steady growth in popularity and new users. It is one of our best Swiss betting sites and we also feature it on our list of Luxembourg betting sites.

With a fast and well-optimised site, I didn't have any trouble placing bets quickly.

Stake.com does NOT have a mobile app yet, but its mobile website is well-optimised and serves its purpose just fine. I do hope, however, that soon they will provide us with an app for Android and iOS, so it is easier to stay close to the action and we can avoid going to the browser every time we want to place a bet.

Here are a few screenshots of the mobile version of Stake, taken on my Samsung Galaxy S21:

Yes! With more than 1700 casino games, made by top slots providers, you can most certainly find a game that suits your needs and playstyle.

To start with, Stake offers 39 sports to bet on! This is crazy high, which is great for people like me, looking for an all-encompassing solution with everything in one place!

With all these sports Stake also usually offers about 89 outcomes, which is a little higher than the average 74 markets per match on Bet365. Good job, Stake!

Are there esports on Stake?

Yes! Stake offers some of the biggest esports titles, which again, in my book, gives them points for catering to everyone's needs.

You can find Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and League of Legends matches featured on the sidebar of the site.

Live betting is pretty good on Stake!

Most tennis matches feature a small streaming button, which lets you see the game as it happens, and to the side of that, there are also some useful statistics for the game.

Not all football matches offer livestreaming, however, you can still see the statistics of how the game has been going.

Stake lets users quickly change between odds formats, which makes for better quality of life when using their site. They also currently offer odds in the following formats:

• Decimal
• Fractional
• American
• Indonesian
• Hong Kong
• Malaysian

My experience with customer support was not the greatest. I asked multiple agents throughout the day simple questions and they kept sending me pre-made responses, which disappointed me. Perhaps a little more training and freedom of communication would make sure they can provide users with better help.

I asked the agents to provide me with a list of deposit methods, because the site says they accepted MoonPay, but they kept telling me to check my account. I couldn't at the time, because it wasn't verified yet.

Nonetheless, the response time for customer support is short and the people there genuinely seemed like they wanted to help, but just couldn't.

Don't let this deter you from asking questions before you start betting though!

Make sure you understand the bonuses and all their wagering requirements, and hopefully this guide has helped you do that!

Overall, Stake is a good casino and bookmaker, with a high match on the initial deposit.

Stake features a ton of casino games and table games as well as a lot of sports.

With some minor changes, I believe Stake can rise to even higher peaks and attract a broader audience.
