Bonus offers at Stake
Stake runs a rolling calendar of promotions across casino, sport and esports. Players should always read the full terms on the Promotions page before opting in, as conditions vary by offer.
Welcome offer
The welcome bonus works on a redemption-code system. After registering, players have 24 hours to enter the active promo or affiliate code in their profile to activate the associated offer. The reward, wagering requirement and qualifying deposit depend on the active code.
Daily Races
Stake's Daily Races share a large prize pool every 24 hours, distributed by a leaderboard. The more a player wagers on eligible games, the higher they climb and the larger their potential share.
Weekly Raffle
The Weekly Raffle awards a weekly prize pool, with one ticket earned for every qualifying amount wagered, so playing more increases the chance of winning the draw.
Rakeback
Rakeback returns a percentage of every bet placed, win or lose. It unlocks at the Bronze level of the VIP Club and increases at each higher tier.
Sports promotions
Sports bettors have dedicated offers such as early payout on selected soccer leagues, refunds on selected UFC and horse-racing markets, and the Stake Shield bet-protection feature on selected parlays.

Security and privacy
Stake is owned and operated by Medium Rare N.V. and licensed by the Curaçao Gaming Authority under licence OGL/2024/1451/0918, which covers fair play, segregation of player funds, anti-money-laundering obligations and dispute resolution. Stake is also a Crypto Gambling Foundation verified operator. The platform uses industry-standard encryption, and account access supports passkeys and two-factor authentication.
Every Stake Originals game is provably fair, meaning the outcome of each round can be independently verified rather than relying on an unseen random number generator. Personal data is handled in line with the published privacy policy.
Stake provides responsible gambling tools that players can activate from their account, including deposit, loss and wager limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. The Stake Smart resources and a monthly budget calculator help players stay in control, and support can assist with closing or self-excluding an account.
Customer support
Support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Players can reach the team through the following channels:
- Live chat, via the widget at the bottom-right of every page
- Email at [email protected] for less urgent enquiries
- The Help Centre, a self-service library of articles by topic
The platform is available in 15 languages, and Canadian players can request support in English or French. From the Platinum IV VIP tier upward, players are assigned a dedicated VIP host who handles bonuses, promotions and payment questions directly.
Player reviews of Stake
Feedback from the Stake community – suitable for Canadian players comfortable with crypto and local-currency play.
The game selection is enormous and the Only on Stake exclusives keep it fresh. I mostly play slots and the enhanced RTP versions clearly pay back better over a month. Demo mode is handy for trying a new title before wagering.
Crypto withdrawals really are instant on Stake's end – my USDT was in my wallet within minutes. Coming from casinos where fiat takes days, that's a big difference. The CAD deposit through Moonpay also went through on the first try.
Good sportsbook for hockey – the NHL markets are deep and live streaming works on most nights. The stream lagged behind play once during a Saturday game, which is annoying for live betting, but cash-out has bailed me out on a parlay more than once.
