Stake.com is an Australian-Curaçaoan online casino. It is operated by Medium Rare NV, a company incorporated in Curaçao where it holds an online casino licence.[2]

History

[edit]

In 2016, Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani established Easygo, a company which developed games for online casinos.[2] The two helped create Stake.com, which was founded in 2017.[2]

In December 2021, Stake.com launched in the UK in partnership with TGP Europe.[3]

Offerings

[edit]

Stake.com offers traditional casino games (such as slots, blackjack and roulette) and sports betting.[2][4] It offers video streams with live dealers.[2]

Users on Stake.com typically do not deal with traditional currencies, instead they deposit and withdraw cryptocurrencies to and from their betting account.[2] Account balances can be withdrawn in the equivalent value of cryptocurrency and then deposited back into the user's personal cryptocurrency wallet.[2] Users of Stake.com's UK site deal only in fiat currency.[3]

Sponsorships

[edit]

Stake.com has invested in sponsorship deals across several sports, including with UFC fighter Israel Adesanya,[5] English football teams Gillingham, Watford, Everton,[6][7] Argentine footballer Sergio Agüero,[8] Formula One reserve driver Pietro Fittipaldi and his brother, Formula 2 driver Enzo Fittipaldi,[9] Canadian musician Drake,[10] and the Gennady Golovkin vs. Ryōta Murata boxing match.[11]

In January 2023, the Alfa Romeo F1 team announced that Stake would be their title sponsor for the 2023 F1 season on a multi-year deal, with the team renamed to "Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake".[12]
