Stake casino review
Stake holds a licence from the Curaçao Gaming Authority, a lighter-touch regulator, and scores 4.5 out of 10 for trust against other casinos in its own licensing class, a figure that is not comparable with the scores of casinos licensed by top-tier regulators. That licence is currently pending. Its fastest withdrawal is 1 hour via Bitcoin, measured end to end from the withdrawal request to money in hand — not the operator's processing window alone. The minimum deposit is $10. We found no enforcement action against Stake in the registers we searched (checked 2026-07-17).

What regulators have done about Stake
| Date | Regulator | Against | Amount | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (observed) | Louisiana Gaming Control Board | Sweepstakes Limited sister | — | Sweepstakes Limited appears on the Louisiana Gaming Control Board's published 'List of Operators Issued Cease-and-Desist Letters'. The Board does not state the date or the trading brand; Maryland's letter identifies Sweepstakes Limited as d/b/a Stake.us. IMPORTANT: this is the US sweepstakes entity, NOT Medium Rare N.V. which runs stake.com. Recorded as 'sister' so it is published but does not score against stake.com. source |
| (exact) | Arizona Department of Gaming | Stake.US sister | — | The Arizona Department of Gaming announced on 27 June 2025 that it had issued cease-and-desist orders to several unlicensed operators, listing Stake.US under the 'Sweepstakes' category, alleging violations of A.R.S. § 13-3303, § 13-2312 and § 13-2317. IMPORTANT: this action targets Stake.US, the US sweepstakes product, NOT stake.com — a different legal entity (Sweepstakes Limited vs Medium Rare N.V.) and a different product sharing only the brand name. Recorded as 'sister' so it is published but does not score against stake.com. source |
| (exact) | Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency | Sweepstakes Limited d/b/a Stake.us sister | — | The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency wrote to Sweepstakes Limited d/b/a Stake.us on 7 May 2024, stating that Stake.us was offering and conducting online gaming activity in Maryland without legal authority and that the Commission had no record of it holding a sports wagering licence, casino gaming licence, or fantasy competition registration. IMPORTANT: the named entity is Sweepstakes Limited, the US sweepstakes operator — NOT Medium Rare N.V., which runs stake.com. Recorded as 'sister' so it is published but does not score against stake.com. source |
Actions against a sister brand or a wider group are listed for context but do not affect this brand's score. Only actions against the brand itself or the company it grew out of do.
