Stake is the biggest name in crypto gambling, and the number that matters here is 2: the unresolved complaints out of 384 that the independent database has processed. That is one of the best payout ratios in this comparison, and it is not the whole story.
The licence is real and currently in renewal
Stake.com is operated by Medium Rare N.V. The Curaçao Gaming Authority register dated 6 August 2026 contains:
OGL/2024/1451/0918 — Medium Rare N.V. — B2C — company registration 145353 — issued 9 December 2025 — expired 9 June 2026 — status assessment in progress.
Plainly: it is under renewal, not freshly granted. That is routine in the framework that replaced Curaçao's master-licence system when the last master licence lapsed on 31 January 2025, and the regulator permits operators to trade while an assessment runs. It is not an accusation. It is a fact you are entitled to know, and the reason this review does not simply write "licensed in Curaçao" and move on.
384 complaints, 2 unresolved
Casino.guru gives Stake a safety index of 7.9 out of 10 and records 58 resolved, 324 rejected and 2 unresolved out of 384.
The unresolved column is where a casino that simply stops replying ends up, and two out of 384 at this volume is a genuinely strong result — better in ratio than Sportsbet.io, Rollbit or Thunderpick by a wide margin. The large rejected count is normal: those are mostly players who broke a rule they had not read, or who stopped responding.
What you are actually buying
Scale. Thousands of slots, a full live dealer floor, a sportsbook with genuine depth, in-house originals, and the liquidity that comes with being the largest operator in the category. Withdrawals are fast and the platform rarely falls over. If you want the biggest, this is the biggest.
The trade-off is that Stake blocks a long list of countries, and its terms are enforced strictly — which is part of why the rejected column is so large. Check the restricted-country list against where you actually live before depositing, not after, because a blocked account at withdrawal time is a far worse problem than a blocked signup.
Why 7.8, down from 9.1
We start from the independent 7.9 and hold roughly there: the payout ratio argues up, the licence being under assessment argues down, and the two nearly cancel. The old 9.1 came from citing "Curaçao, registration number 145353" as though a registration number were a current licence — the exact error this site calls out elsewhere. The licence is real; its status is under review, and now the page says so.

Verified on 14 August 2026 against the Curaçao Gaming Authority register of online gaming licences dated 6 August 2026, its enforcement register dated 10 July 2026 (Medium Rare N.V. does not appear), and the independent complaint history on Casino.guru.
USER RATING
Most recent user reviews
Stake.com offers an impressive selection of over 3,000 games, including slots, table games and a live casino with titles from renowned providers such as Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO and NetEnt. Personally, I really enjoyed the diversity of options available, from classics to innovative e-sports betting and exclusive games like Plinko and Dice.
Although Stake.com does not offer a traditional welcome bonus, their weekly and monthly promotions make up for this lack. You can participate in weekly sweepstakes of up to $75,000 or competitions like "Conquer the Casino," which offer substantial prizes. These events add an extra layer of excitement and potential rewards to your gaming experience.
Stake.com's interface is modern and very user-friendly. Navigating the site is simple, and both the desktop and mobile versions are well optimized. I was impressed with how quickly the games loaded and how easy it was to find what I was looking for thanks to their efficient search bar.
Stake.com's VIP program is quite attractive, with several levels offering exclusive rewards as you progress. However, I have noticed that the effectiveness of VIP support can vary depending on the level and recent activity of the player.
