Stake Casino review

Overview

Stake has operated since 2017 and is run by Medium Rare N.V. It is a crypto-focused casino with a long list of supported coins, a separate Stake Sportsbook and a VIP programme. Its pitch is less about a giant welcome bonus and more about ongoing value: weekly and monthly bonuses, reloads, bonus drops and rakeback, plus crypto withdrawals with no maximum.

For Indian players, three things stand out. Stake’s help centre has step-by-step guides for depositing and withdrawing in Indian Rupees, with payouts going to an Indian bank account. The help centre itself is available in Hindi. And the responsible gambling toolkit is one of the most complete we have seen. The main gaps are that UPI is not named as an INR method, and the main Stake site blocked our checks, so some details (such as the app and the full INR method list) could not be confirmed.

Our scores, explained on the methodology page, focus on how well the site fits Indian players’ needs.

Welcome bonus breakdown

Stake does not publish a standard deposit-match welcome bonus. According to its own help centre, the Stake welcome offer is early access to rakeback, a reward that is normally unlocked only on reaching the Bronze level of the VIP Club.

How the welcome offer works

Term	What Stake’s help centre says
Reward	Rakeback: 3.5% of the house edge back on every bet
How to claim	Enter a valid referral (affiliate) code on the Offers page in your account
Time limit	Within 24 hours of opening the account
Deposit match	None published
Free spins	None published
Wagering	Not applicable to rakeback; deposit bonuses carry their own requirement

Rakeback is paid on what you wager, regardless of whether you win or lose. Stake’s own example: wager the equivalent of 1 BTC on a game with a 2% house edge and you receive 0.0007 BTC back. In rupee terms, ₹10,000 of bets on a game with a 2% edge returns ₹7. That is small per session but adds up over steady play, and it never forces you to bet more than you planned.

Stake also notes that a welcome offer is claimed with a code supplied by an official affiliate partner, and that the terms can vary with that partner. Some affiliates advertise deposit-match offers under their own codes. Those offers are not published by Stake, so we do not list them here. If you are shown a deposit bonus in your account, check it before accepting.

Deposit bonus requirements

Where a deposit bonus is credited, Stake applies a “deposit bonus requirement”: the total you must bet before you can withdraw. The multiplier depends on the bonus type and your affiliation. Stake’s help centre gives a worked example: deposit $100, receive a $100 bonus, and at 30x you would need to wager $6,000 ($200 x 30). A progress bar in your account shows how much is left.

You can also clear the requirement by using up all the funds in the currency you received the bonus in, including your deposit. That makes a deposit bonus less restrictive than at many casinos, but it still ties up your balance until you reach one of those points. Our wagering requirements guide shows how to work out the real cost of any multiple.

What to check before you claim

• Whether the code you have unlocks rakeback only, or a deposit bonus as well.
• If a deposit bonus is included, its multiplier and whether it applies to deposit plus bonus.
• Which games count towards the requirement.
• That you enter the code within 24 hours of registering.

If you mainly play live tables or low-edge games, rakeback may suit you better than a deposit match, since it pays on every bet without locking your balance. Our welcome bonus guide covers when to take or decline an offer.

Ongoing promotions

Stake’s help centre lists a wider set of recurring rewards than most casinos offer:

• A monthly bonus for eligible players
• A Weekly Boost posted in the VIP Telegram group every Saturday
• Drop bonuses redeemed with case-sensitive codes
• Level-up bonuses on reaching a new VIP level, and a birthday bonus
• A $50,000/$75,000 weekly raffle, with one ticket for every $1,000 wagered
• A $100,000 race every 24 hours, paying the top 5,000 players
• Daily rains, trivia and challenges in the Stake chat and forum

Many of these reward volume, so they favour regular players. Check how entries and rewards are earned before increasing your play to chase them.

We give the bonus category 6.0. There is no published deposit match, and the welcome rakeback needs a referral code, but the recurring offers add steady value.

Games and providers

Stake’s lobby combines third-party slots and live tables with Stake Originals, its own provably fair games. The main stake.com site returned a block page to our checks, so we could not browse the lobby or count games, and Stake does not publish a provider list or total game count on the help pages we could read. What we can say is drawn from the help centre and from Stake’s own category pages as they appear in search results.

Game types

Category	What we could confirm
Stake Originals	Yes, provably fair, with their own betting limits per currency
Third-party slots and tables	Yes, with minimum bets of about $0.10–$0.20 on most games
Live casino	Yes, including an Indian games category
Sportsbook	Separate Stake Sportsbook

For Stake Originals played in rupees, the help centre lists a maximum bet of ₹10,00,00,000 and a maximum profit of ₹1,00,00,000 per bet. Those ceilings are far above anything a casual player will reach, but they are a reminder that the limits you set yourself matter more than the site’s.

Games Indian players look for

Stake has a dedicated Indian games category. Its listing, as shown in search results for stake.com, includes Evolution’s Teen Patti and Super Andar Bahar. We could not open the page ourselves, so check the category after you log in.

Game	What we found at Stake
Teen Patti	Listed in Stake’s Indian games category (Evolution)
Andar Bahar	Super Andar Bahar listed in the Indian games category (Evolution)
Aviator	Could not confirm; we could not check the lobby
Other crash games	Stake runs its own provably fair Originals; we could not confirm individual crash titles
Live game shows and roulette	Evolution is present; Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette could not be checked directly

Super Andar Bahar adds random multipliers to the classic game, which raises the top payouts but also the swings. Our Andar Bahar guide covers the basic bets, and our Teen Patti guide explains hand rankings. If you plan to look for Aviator or another crash game, read our Aviator guide first. With Evolution present, game shows and roulette variants of the kind covered in our Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette and Dragon Tiger guides are likely, but we have not confirmed them at Stake.

Slots, jackpots and tables

Slots make up most third-party lobbies, and high-volatility games can go long stretches without paying, so size your stakes so a dry spell does not end your session early. Our RTP and volatility guide explains the trade-off, and our new slots page tracks recent releases. If you prefer cards, our blackjack and baccarat guides explain the bets with the lowest house edge.

Payments for Indian players

Stake is built around crypto, but its help centre also documents Indian Rupee as a local currency, with its own deposit and withdrawal guides. Whether INR shows for you depends on the country you enter at Level 1 verification; if local currency is not supported for your country, the cashier shows a “Payments Temporarily Unavailable” message and you are pointed to crypto.

What the help centre says about INR

• INR deposits: made from the deposit page by selecting Indian Rupee, then following the on-screen steps for your chosen payment method. The specific methods (UPI, IMPS, Paytm and so on) are not named.
• INR withdrawals: paid to your bank account. You enter your bank details, including the IFSC code.
• Wagering before withdrawal: every deposit, fiat or crypto, must be wagered 100% before you can withdraw it.

How to deposit

In rupees

1. Complete Level 1 verification with your correct country, as this decides whether INR is offered.
2. Open the Wallet and choose Deposit.
3. Select Indian Rupee and enter the amount.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions for the payment method shown. Keep your transaction reference.
5. Deposits can take up to 24 hours. If it takes longer, open Transaction History and click the status of the transaction to escalate it.

In crypto

1. Open the Wallet, choose Deposit and pick a coin.
2. Copy the address or scan the QR code, and check that the network matches the one in your exchange or wallet.
3. Send the amount. Stake cannot automatically process deposits under $0.01, and there is no maximum.

If you are new to crypto, Stake’s help centre also covers buying coins through MoonPay or Swapped and through Binance; our crypto casino guide for India covers wallets, networks and price risk.

How to withdraw

1. Make sure you have wagered 100% of your deposit; a tracking bar on the withdrawal page shows how much is left.
2. Open the Wallet and select Withdraw.
3. For INR: enter the amount, fill in your bank details including the IFSC code, and confirm. Withdrawals take up to 3 business days; after that, contact support with a screenshot of the receipt and the transaction ID.
4. For crypto: choose the coin, paste a wallet address you control, check the network and confirm. The minimum and network fee are shown at the bottom of the withdrawal screen.

The help centre also links to guidance on proof of source of income, so be ready to provide documents if asked, especially for larger withdrawals.

Limits and processing times

Item	Listed in Stake’s help centre
Minimum INR deposit	Not published
INR deposit time	Up to 24 hours
Minimum INR withdrawal	Not published
INR withdrawal time	Up to 3 business days, to a bank account
Crypto deposit limits	No maximum; under $0.01 not processed automatically
Crypto withdrawal maximum	No maximum
Crypto withdrawal minimum and fee	Per coin, e.g. USDT 2.5 minimum and 1 USDT fee; BTC 0.00002504 minimum and 0.00001571 fee
Wagering before withdrawal	100% of each deposit
Weekend processing	Not published

No maximum on crypto withdrawals is a genuine advantage if you win big, as you will not need to split a payout across weeks. Withdrawal fees are charged per coin, so stablecoins on low-fee networks are often cheaper to move than Bitcoin. Small amounts can lose a surprising share to spreads and network fees if you convert crypto back to rupees yourself, which is where the INR bank route helps.

INR deposits and bank withdrawals, plus extensive crypto support, keep payments at 7.5. UPI players should still compare our best UPI casinos, since Stake does not name UPI.

Mobile experience

We could not confirm a Stake app. The main stake.com site blocked our checks, the help centre does not describe an app download,, and we found no app on any official page we could read. The help centre does explain how to clear your cache and cookies on a phone, which shows that mobile browser play is the expected route.

Stake also publishes an official article on its mirror sites, explaining what they are and how to use them. If you ever use a mirror, reach it only through the links in that help article, never through search ads or messages. Only enter your password on a page you have reached that way, and turn on two-factor authentication, which the help centre walks through step by step.

On a phone, the Indian live tables and Originals both run in the browser. Live streams use the most data, so use Wi-Fi for long Teen Patti or Andar Bahar sessions. Our mobile score is lowered to 6.5 because we could not verify an app.

Customer support

Stake runs a large self-service help centre in 17 languages, including Hindi, with guides on payments, INR deposits and withdrawals, bonuses, account security and responsible gambling. That alone is useful: you can read the INR withdrawal steps or the deposit wagering rule in Hindi before you contact anyone.

For direct help, every help article points you to the customer support team. Stake’s own help pages do not list the channels, hours or response times, and the main site blocked our checks, so we could not confirm live chat hours or support languages. We also could not confirm on an official page whether Hindi is one of the live chat languages. Our Hindi casino sites article compares others that offer Hindi.

For an INR withdrawal problem, the help centre asks for a screenshot of the transaction receipt and the transaction ID, so keep both ready before you contact support.

Responsible gambling tools

Stake’s “Stake Smart” section in the help centre lists a complete set:

• Deposit limits
• Loss limits and wager limits, daily, weekly or monthly; increases take 24 hours to apply
• Break in Play for 1 day, 2 days, 1 week or 1 month
• Self-exclusion, plus product exclusion and poker exclusion
• Account closure
• Links to help organisations and gambling-blocking tools

Setting a loss limit before your first deposit is the simplest way to keep play within a fixed budget. See our responsible gambling page for further help.

Support scores 6.5. Channels and hours are not published on the official pages we could read, so we start from the 6.0 we use when they are unknown, and the Hindi help centre adds 0.5.

Our verdict

Stake is a mature crypto casino that fits Indian players better than most of its type. Its help centre documents INR deposits and bank withdrawals, the help centre is available in Hindi, crypto withdrawals have no maximum, and an Indian games category includes Teen Patti and Super Andar Bahar. The responsible gambling tools are among the most complete we have reviewed.

The trade-offs are clear. UPI is not named as an INR method, INR withdrawals take up to 3 business days, every deposit must be wagered once before withdrawal, and there is no published deposit-match welcome bonus, only rakeback with a referral code. We also could not confirm an app or browse the lobby, because the main site blocked our checks.

If you are comfortable with crypto or happy to use the INR bank route, Stake belongs on your shortlist. If you need UPI specifically, look at our full casino list instead. Set a loss limit on day one either way.
