Overview of Stake’s Journey

Stake was founded in August of 2017, operated by Medium Rare N.V., a company licensed in Curacao, to ensure safe and fair practices. Since it first went live, Stake has become one of the best online destinations for fans of gaming on our online casino and sports bettors over on Stake Sportsbook. With a huge array of games and plenty of live and pre-live betting markets, we've grown to support fifteen different languages and are a key player in the world of online betting!

Stake offers more than 3,000 different games for players to enjoy, including slots , table games , live dealer games and much more. Since we first launched, the casino has seen over 253 billion bets placed. That’s an astronomical figure, and it gets bigger every day.

Biggest Casino Wins

We’ve seen plenty of big wins over the years, with lucky players hitting impressive jackpots and cashing out their prize money. In 2023, the biggest win of the year saw one of our players land an eye-popping $12.5 million payout while spinning Hacksaw Gaming’s Wanted Dead or a Wild.

In 2024, we’ve seen a few seven-figure payouts already, including a crazy $9 million win in June in Pragmatic Play’s Zeus vs Hades: Gods of War.

Stake Sportsbook Betting Highlights

On top of casino gaming, Stake has always provided sports fans with the best betting experience. It’s easy to place sports bets on a wide range of events from all over the world. To date, the sportsbook has received more than 206 billion bets.

In the seven years since Stake was founded, we’ve followed the excitement and action from major events such as the Olympic Games, UEFA Euro Championship , FIFA World Cup , Copa America , Cricket World Cup , Rugby World Cup and many more.

There have also been seven seasons of sports like the NFL , MLB , NBA , F1 , UEFA Champions League and Premier League football, a huge number of exciting UFC events and the drama and action of high-level eSports . It’s been a great few years to be a sports fan, and it keeps getting better, thanks to Stake.

Soccer is one of the most popular sports to bet on here at Stake, though fans of just about every sport are catered to. In 2023, one of the biggest winning bets was placed on the NBA , with a fan making $7.6 million thanks to the Bulls, 76ers and Celtics.

Major Sports Partnerships and Collaborations

Stake has built its success on offering the best gambling experience but couples this with key partnerships and sponsorships of major athletes and organisations. In 2021, we partnered with the UFC , the world’s largest and most successful fighting organisation. In the following year, this partnership was expanded to become the official betting partner for the UFC in Brazil.

On top of being partnered with the UFC, Stake sponsors some of the best fighters in the world. This includes legendary champions like Israel Adesanya , Alex Pereira , Alexa Grasso and Alexandre Pantoja , as well as upcoming heavyweight fighter Jailton Almeida .

In 2022, Stake made its first major impact on the biggest soccer league in the world, announcing a partnership with Premier League Club Everton . The multi-year partnership sees the Stake logo adorned on the men’s and women’s club jerseys and around the historic Goodison Park ground.

Drake is one of the biggest music stars in the world, but did you know he also loves to bet on sports and roulette? The Toronto-based rapper was one of the earliest VIPs at Stake, and his love of the platform led to a huge partnership in 2022 .

Last but not least, Stake now has its own F1 team. In 2023, we helped Alfa Romeo deliver high-octane excitement to the fans as their main title sponsor. In 2024 and 2025, this deal was signed with Sauber after Alfa Romeo left the sport. The partnership with F1 doesn’t end with the Stake F1 Team , we’re also partnered with the Fittipaldi brothers .
