Stake

SEED T2 Crypto-native Listed Rank 2 of 20 Partner Last reviewed 2026-09-14

What this is

As of September 2026, Stake is the largest crypto-native casino and sportsbook in this index, operating since 2017 across a wide range of assets with in-house provably-fair originals, a full live-dealer floor and a major sportsbook. Crypto is the payment rail and there are public on-chain artefacts around the brand, but the bankroll, the accounts and the game logic are private — nothing about a bet is verifiable from chain data. It states a Curaçao licence; we do not publish licence numbers we have not checked, and we have not deposit-tested the site.

Score breakdown

71/100 Total

Every sub-score is points out of its weight, so the total is a sum you can recheck by hand.

Payout proof 21/25

The largest and most-observed payout record in this index by volume and duration; the highest payout score we award without a deposit test, and still short of full marks because we hold no hashes.

Transparency 12/25

Publishes provably-fair seed pairs and its originals' mechanics, but balances, bankroll and game servers are private — the code caps custodial T2 transparency at 12, which is where this lands.

Survival 18/20

Operating since 2017 at very large scale with sports sponsorships and a diversified product; the strongest survival case here.

Freedom 9/15

Extensive country blocks, risk-based identity checks and source-of-funds requests at higher volumes.

Value 11/15

Deep catalogue, large VIP programme and competitive sports margins, against bonus terms we have not audited.

Caps applied

custodialTransparency:12 Custodial with no on-chain game logic, so transparency is capped at 12 of 25.

Verified vs claimed

Verified by us

Nothing verified yet.

The left column stays empty until we have done the work ourselves: a deposit, a withdrawal with a hash we can publish, or a treasury address read on a public chain. We would rather show an empty column than a borrowed number.

Claimed by the operator

On-chain tier: T2 — Crypto-native
Licence: Curaçao (claimed)
Custody: Custodial
KYC: Risk-based
Provably-fair originals: Yes

These are the operator's own statements as we read them on the date below. Recording a claim is not endorsing it.

Risks

Custodial balances at very large scale: size is not the same as segregated player funds, and no reserve is published.
Country blocks and mirror domains create a real risk of playing on an unofficial front end.
Identity and source-of-funds requests commonly surface at withdrawal rather than deposit.
Curaçao licensing offers limited practical recourse.

Notes

Claimed: provably-fair originals with published seeds, Curaçao licensing, instant crypto withdrawals. Verified by us: nothing.
Licence recorded as free text without a number.
Transparency is capped at 12 by the grid because Stake is custodial at tier T2 — the seed sub-score before the cap is 14.
KYC recorded as risk-based: checks are widely reported at higher volumes and in specific jurisdictions rather than universally at sign-up.
Chains list is a conservative subset of the advertised asset list.
