Stake Casino Review

Stake Casino is a multilingual online casino platform available in English and French among other languages. This is great for Canadians as 98%+ of the population speak these languages. During our review, we were able to see that the site was established in 2017 and is operated by Medium Rare N.V. Under this owner, it holds a Curacao gambling license with offices also in Cyprus for processing payments via its associated company called Medium Rare Limited.

We thoroughly tested the Stake Casino website and felt that it had a community and social feel, with plenty of competitions with leaderboards. It was also great for us to see that it has been nominated and won a number of awards. These include Crypto Operator of the Year and Best Cryptocurrency Casino.

There are plenty of Stake Casino bonuses and promotions for new and existing players. At the time of our review, there were 15 active promotions ranging from multiplier challenges with prizes, to network slot promotions. This includes big software brands such as Pragmatic Play.

We particularly enjoyed the 'Stake Races' promotion that runs daily. There is a C$100k prize pool available every 24 hours for players that finish on the top 5,000 place leaderboard. Ranking is based on your wagering activity and there is no need to opt-in as all players are automatically entered.

Stake Casino Welcome Bonus

When joining Stake Casino for the first time, new Canadian players are eligible for a welcome bonus for new players of up to C$2,000. This is a deposit match offer that is available at a rate of 200% on deposits of at least C$100. It's worth noting that there is a 40x wagering requirement on the deposit + bonus amount and you must opt-in using the exclusive promo code 'Seobrothers'.

VIP Program

Stake Casino's VIP program is one that I was very interested in during this review. The unique scheme is called the Stake VIP Club and it comes with 4 levels. As a regular casino player, you can progress through each level just for playing real money games as you usually would. When you join the Stake VIP program, you can take advantage of a bundle of benefits and perks that Stake offers, including weekly/monthly bonuses and rakeback. Rakeback allows you to earn a percentage of the 'house edge' from games you play.

Other bonuses available at Stake Casino

Stake.com has a number of other bonuses for existing players to redeem incentives and rewards. The 'Weekly Raffle' offers a prize pool of C$75,000 to be shared between 15 players. For every C$1,000 you wager on games, you will automatically earn 1 ticket into the draw. Winners are announced every Saturday at 2pm GMT.

The clear and simplistic interface of Stake Casino makes it easy and straightforward to sign up. I have detailed the exact process I used when creating a new account at this online casino. Each step takes just a few minutes to complete.

There are thousands of games to enjoy at Stake Casino in a comprehensive games library. These are categorized across multiple subcategories, including slots, live casino, game shows, new releases, and Stake Originals such as Plinko. Our experts have outlined details of the main types of games you can play below.

Table games at Stake Casino

There are over 50 table games available in total. The dedicated category shows all available titles. Plus, there are separate subcategories for blackjack, roulette, and baccarat. We noticed these games are provided by software providers such as Pragmatic Play, Stake Originals, Evolution, OneTouch, and BGaming. Our favourite table games were Sic Bo, Stake Poker, and Roulette.

Slot Game Selection & Game Providers

Slots are one of the main attractions at Stake.com and there is an extensive selection of games to choose from. We were impressed by the amount of software providers, including both new and established brands. These include BGaming, Belatra, Endorphina, Games Global, Play'n GO, Pragmatic Play, Spinomenal, and Wazdan. Popular slots at Stake Casino include Sweet Bonanza 1000, Wanted Dead or a Wild, and Gates of Olympus, which we enjoyed playing due to the variety of features and paylines. There are also subcategories for 'Bonus Buy' and 'Enhanced RTP' slots that are not available at other casinos.

Live Casino Games

There are over 80 live dealer games to play at Stake Casino. The catalog selection includes classic table games such as live roulette and live blackjack, through to niche games like Dragon Tiger and Andar Bahar. Live dealer games are provided by brands you will undoubtedly recognize in this sector, including Live88, Pragmatic Play, and Evolution Gaming. There is also a great selection of live game shows that were thoroughly enjoyable, including PowerUp Roulette, Snakes & Ladders, Mega Wheel, and Boom City.

During our Stake Casino review, we found a variety payment methods that can be used for both deposits and withdrawals at this crypto casino site. As a dedicated crypto casino, digital coins such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Tether are the main options to choose from, along with Tron, Ripple, BitcoinCash, and Dogecoin. Interac is also offered, which is ideal for Canadian players. Beyond this, you can use credit/debit cards and Apple Pay / Google Pay via platforms such as Moonpay.

Deposits

All deposits at Stake Casino are handled in cryptocurrency. The majority of crypto gambling deposits are instant, with others taking around 15 minutes to complete. There is no fee charged by Stake for using any of the available cryptocurrencies and there are no minimum deposit limits. In order to deposit, you will first have to obtain your deposit address in your account wallet. Use the address as the 'send to' location in your preferred crypto wallet. Alternatively, you can deposit fiat currency using Moonpay.

Withdrawals

Similar to deposits, withdrawals at Stake.com use cryptocurrency. You can cash-out your winnings easily by selecting one of the available cryptos. There is a minimum withdrawal amount of around C$10 or currency equivalent, but no maximum withdrawal limits. This was pleasing to see as it allowed us to withdraw as much cash as we'd like. One slight drawback is that the operator charges a withdrawal fee of around C$5 per transaction.

Stake Casino is a site that not only looks professional, but showcases its experience via excellent customer support. We tested the live support chat facility at different times of day and found the agent to be helpful and responsive. Although, this channel was available only if we were logged-in to our account, which may pose some issues for players that are unable to login. We were also happy to see a dedicated support email address and comprehensive FAQ section with auto-chatbot assist to help you pinpoint specific topics.

The Stake website operates on secure servers with SSL and 128 bit encryption. We verified this ourselves using the padlock within the browser address bar, where we were also able to see a valid security certificate issued by 'Let's Encrypt'.

Additionally, Stake.com Casino holds a valid license and is regulated by the Government of Curacao and holds a Curacao license under the company name Medium Rare N.V. You can verify the certificate by clicking on the link at the bottom of the homepage. When I assessed the security of the site, I was also pleased to discover a dedicated section for anti-money laundering and KYC. You can verify your account with ID documentation for peace of mind.

When testing this brand, I was surprised to discover that there was no Stake Casino app available for iOS or Android devices. However, the mobile browser version is fully accessible and responsive on all tablets and smartphones, such as iPhone, using a mobile browser app. The mobile version of the site allows you to browse and play games without compromising the experience. There are also useful mobile tools that make browsing more efficient for small screens, such as icons, horizontal scrolling menus, and game filtering.
