Stake

Register at Stake

Opening an account takes a short form with contact details, a username and a date of birth rather than a full address at the first stage. Canadian players pick their currency during sign-up, so CAD can be selected immediately instead of converting later. Social sign-in through Google, Facebook and Kick is also offered, while email remains the standard route.

How to Register

Follow these steps to open an account and reach the lobby for the first time.

1. Open the Stake site and select the sign-up option.
2. Enter your email address and choose a username.
3. Create a password you do not use elsewhere.
4. Enter your date of birth.
5. Select your account currency, such as CAD.
6. Add a promo or referral code if you have one.
7. Confirm that you are of legal age and accept the terms.

Stake Bonuses

Promotions split between a code-based first deposit match and recurring prize events on daily, weekly and monthly cycles. Several rewards are paid in cash with no wagering attached, which makes them easier to follow than standard bonus credit. Level 2 account checks must be completed before bonus funds are released.

Deposit Match at Stake

The welcome offer is a 200% match on the first deposit, credited as bonus funds once a promo or referral code is entered at sign-up. It works on casino games and sportsbook markets, and the advertised maximum changes from code to code, so no single cap applies to every version. Wagering is 40x the deposit plus bonus with 30 days to finish, the minimum qualifying deposit is C$10, and each wager is limited to 10% of the bonus amount. Contribution is weighted by house edge: a game with a 4% edge counts in full, 3% counts at 0.75x, 2% at 0.50x and 1% at 0.25x.

Daily Races at Stake

Daily Races is a leaderboard that resets every day and shares a US$100,000 prize pool among the top 5,000 players. Position is earned purely through wagering on casino games and sports markets, with no VIP tier and no minimum turnover needed, and prizes land as cash with no wagering requirement.

Weekly Raffle at Stake

The Weekly Raffle puts C$75,000 into a pool drawn once per week. Players collect one ticket for every C$1,000 wagered during the qualifying week, so more tickets mean more chances in the same draw. As with the races, prizes are paid in cash with no playthrough.

Monthly Promotion at Stake

Wheel Wars is the monthly event and carries a prize pool of US$150,000. It sits alongside the daily and weekly events rather than replacing them, giving a longer cycle for players who spread activity across several weeks, so it is worth checking the promotions area at the start of each cycle for the current format.

VIP Rakeback at Stake

The VIP Club is entered by wagered volume rather than deposit size, starting at Bronze from C$10,000 wagered and continuing through Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Members receive automatic rakeback, a weekly bonus, level-up bonuses, monthly bonuses from Gold upward and a dedicated VIP host. All rewards are paid in cash with no wagering requirement, and the exact rakeback percentage is displayed inside the account rather than published publicly.

How to Claim Bonus

Use the sequence below to activate and clear the first deposit match.

1. Enter a valid promo or referral code while creating your account.
2. Complete Level 2 verification with your ID and proof of address.
3. Deposit at least C$10 to qualify for the match.
4. Check the bonus balance in your wallet before playing.
5. Keep every wager at or below 10% of the bonus amount.
6. Play games that contribute at the rate you need, based on house edge.
7. Finish the 40x requirement within the 30-day window, then request a withdrawal.

Stake Games

The lobby combines licensed slots from outside studios with Stake Originals, a set of provably fair instant games built in-house. Alongside those sit table classics, live dealer rooms, game shows, video poker and poker, with category filters and a search bar to move between sections quickly.

Online Slots

Slots make up the largest part of the catalogue and cover both long-running hits and recent releases, including Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Wolf Gold, Fruit Party, Book of Dead and RIP City. The table below lists a sample of slots currently featured in the lobby.

Live Casino

Live dealer play is streamed with real hosts handling cards and wheels in real time, and the selection leans heavily on Evolution across classic tables and game show formats.

Table Games

Blackjack, roulette and baccarat are available in software form for players who prefer to set their own pace, with dedicated roulette, blackjack and poker categories in the main menu. Stakes vary by table, so smaller budgets sit alongside higher-limit play in the same section.

Other Games

Stake Originals is the house-built range and includes Plinko, Mines, Limbo, Dice, Crash, Hilo, Wheel and Keno, all on provably fair mechanics. Video poker and poker fill out the skill-based side, while sports betting, esports and virtual sports use the same account and wallet.

Software Providers

Nineteen studios form the core of the library, starting with Stake Originals in-house, with further suppliers behind individual releases. The outside list includes Pragmatic Play, Pragmatic Play Live, Evolution, NetEnt, Hacksaw Gaming, Nolimit City, BGaming, Play'n GO, Playtech, Red Tiger, Push Gaming, Quickspin, Betsoft, Thunderkick, Yggdrasil Gaming, Blueprint Gaming, Microgaming and Live88, covering volatile modern slots, established classics and a full live dealer offering.

Stake Payment Methods

Canadian players can fund an account with Interac e-Transfer, bank transfer, cards, mobile wallets, e-wallets or cryptocurrency. The minimum CAD deposit is C$5, rising to C$10 for the welcome match, and no fixed minimum is stated for crypto.

Withdrawal speeds depend on the channel: Interac e-Transfer takes one to three business days, bank wires and card payouts up to three business days, MuchBetter up to 24 hours, and Bitcoin payouts move within minutes to about an hour.

3. Choose your method, such as Interac e-Transfer, a card or a coin.
4. Pick the currency you want the funds credited in.
5. Enter an amount of at least C$5, or C$10 for the bonus.
6. Confirm the payment in the provider window or send the coins to the displayed address.
7. Return to the lobby and check your updated balance.

How to Withdraw

Use this sequence once your balance is ready to be cashed out.

1. Complete account verification with a government ID and proof of address.
2. Log in, open the wallet and select the withdrawal tab.
3. Choose the payout method you want to use.
4. Enter the amount you wish to take out.
5. Add the destination details, such as your Interac email or wallet address.
6. Confirm the request and wait for processing.

Stake Betting

The sportsbook sits in the same account as the casino, so one balance covers both sides, with coverage across major team sports, combat sports, esports, virtual sports and horse racing.

Stake Mobile

An iOS app and an Android app are available, and the site uses a responsive layout for phone and tablet screens. The mobile wallet handles the same deposit and withdrawal methods as desktop, including Interac e-Transfer and crypto transfers, and social login through Google, Facebook or Kick works on mobile as well.

Stake Security

Stake is operated by Medium Rare N.V. under licence OGL/2024/1451/0918 from the Curaçao Gaming Authority and has been running since 2017. The company also holds national approvals in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, showing a pattern of regulated market entry rather than a single permit. SSL protection is active across the site, and the brand is listed as a verified operator on the Crypto Gambling Foundation network. Verification with a government ID plus proof of address, such as a utility bill or bank statement, is required before the first withdrawal and before bonus funds are released; reported turnaround is roughly one to three business days, though some players describe longer waits.

Responsible Gambling

Account tools let players set deposit and loss limits, apply a cooling-off period or request self-exclusion. Session time limits and reality check reminders are not part of the current toolset, so players who rely on timed prompts should plan around that. External help is signposted through Gambling Therapy, an independent support service.

Stake Support

Help is available through live chat and email, with social channels used for announcements and general contact. Support is offered in seventeen languages, including English, French and Spanish, which is useful for bilingual players in Canada.
