Stake

The table below summarises the main facts about Stake for players in Canada.

Bonuses and Promotions

Stake runs one deposit-based welcome offer plus recurring prize events open to every account holder.

Welcome Deposit Match

The core offer is a 200% match on the first deposit, credited as bonus funds once a promo or referral code is entered at sign-up. The match works on both casino and sportsbook play, so the funds are not locked to a single product. The advertised maximum differs from code to code, so no single cap applies to every new player, and a first deposit of at least C$10 is required.

Additional Promotions

Daily Races is a leaderboard that resets every day and shares a US$100,000 prize pool between the top 5,000 players, with position earned purely by wagering on casino games or sports — no VIP tier and no minimum turnover needed. The Weekly Raffle adds a C$75,000 prize pool, with one ticket for every C$1,000 wagered during the week. Wheel Wars is the monthly event, with a US$150,000 prize pool. All of these prizes are paid in cash with no wagering requirement.

The VIP Club is the long-term reward layer, with entry based on wagered volume rather than deposit size: Bronze starts at C$10,000 wagered, followed by 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. Rakeback and VIP bonuses are cash with no wagering requirement, and the exact rakeback percentage appears inside the account rather than being published in advance.

Bonus Conditions

The welcome match carries a wagering requirement of 40x the deposit plus bonus within 30 days, with the maximum stake per wager capped at 10% of the bonus value. Contribution is weighted by house edge: 4% counts at 1:1, 3% at 0.75x, 2% at 0.50x and 1% at 0.25x. Level 2 verification must be completed before bonus funds are released. Race, raffle and VIP rewards are cash prizes and carry no playthrough.

1. Open the registration form at Stake and create an account with your email, username and password.
2. Enter the promo or referral code in the dedicated field during sign-up.
3. Select CAD or your preferred cryptocurrency as the account currency.
4. Confirm that you are of legal age and accept the terms.

Payment Methods

Stake supports Canadian fiat banking and a broad crypto list, and one account can hold different currencies. The minimum CAD deposit is C$5, while C$10 is required to qualify for the welcome bonus; no fixed minimum is stated for cryptocurrency deposits.

Deposit Options

Withdrawal Options

Verification must be completed before the first withdrawal. Crypto payouts are the quickest route, often clearing in minutes to around an hour, while Interac e-Transfer settles in one to three business days and card payouts take up to three business days.

Games and Providers

The library is split between third-party studio content and the in-house Stake Originals range, with both sitting in the same lobby.

Game Categories Overview

Games are grouped by type, so players can jump straight into slots, Stake Originals, table games such as blackjack, roulette and baccarat, live dealer rooms, game shows, video poker or poker. Each category has its own lobby section, and a provider filter narrows the list when you want a specific studio. Originals are provably fair instant games built by Stake, kept separate from standard studio slots. The sportsbook, esports and virtual sports sit alongside the casino under the same login.

Online Slots

Slots make up the largest part of the catalogue, with both new releases and long-running favourites.

Stake Originals Games

Originals are provably fair instant games developed in house, with short rounds and manual control over risk, and they rank among the most played titles on the platform.

Live Dealer Casino

The live section combines classic dealer tables with game show formats streamed in real time.

Software Providers

Content comes from the in-house studio and a long list of external suppliers: Stake Originals, 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. That mix explains why the lobby holds both high-volatility modern slots and traditional dealer tables.

Sports and Esports Betting

The sportsbook shares the same wallet as the casino, making it easy to move between a slot session and a match market. Horse racing, esports and virtual sports are all part of the offering, while live streaming and cash out are not available.

Sports wagering also counts toward Daily Races and the Weekly Raffle, so bettors build leaderboard position and raffle tickets just as casino players do.

Registration and Account Login

Registration takes a short form, and accounts can be opened and accessed with Google, Facebook, Kick or an email address.

1. Open the Stake sign-up form and choose email or a social login option.
2. Enter your email address, username and password.
3. Provide your date of birth and select your account currency.
4. Add a promo or referral code if you have one, as this field is optional.
5. Confirm that you are of legal age and accept the terms.
6. Submit the form and return to the login screen whenever you want to access the account.
7. Complete verification when prompted, using a passport or driving licence plus a utility bill or bank statement.

Verification is required before the first withdrawal, and Level 2 checks must be passed before bonus funds are released. Checks usually take one to three business days, although some players report longer waits.

Mobile Casino Access

An iOS app and an Android app put the casino, Originals and sportsbook on a phone without a browser. The website is also responsive, so the same lobby, account tools and payment pages adapt to smaller screens, and live chat works from mobile exactly as on desktop.

Security and Fair Play

Stake operates under licence OGL/2024/1451/0918 from the Curaçao Gaming Authority and holds further national licences in Brazil (Ministério da Fazenda/SPA, PORTARIA SPA/MF Nº 263), Colombia (Coljuegos, C1751), Mexico (DGJS/DCRCA/2501/2021) and Peru (Mincetur, N° 4748-2024 and N° 4749-2024). SSL encryption is active across the site. Stake is also listed as a verified operator on the Crypto Gambling Foundation network, and the Originals range uses provably fair mechanics that let players check the outcome of individual rounds.

Responsible Gambling Tools

Stake provides self-exclusion, deposit limits, loss limits and a cooling-off period, all managed from account settings. Session time limits and reality check reminders are not part of the current toolset. Players who want external help can contact Gamblingtherapy.org for free support.

Customer Support Channels

Support is handled through live chat and email, and covers a wide range of languages.
