```wikitext Template:Infobox company
Stake.com is a cryptocurrency-based online casino and sports betting platform launched in 2017. It enables users to deposit, wager, and withdraw exclusively in digital currencies on its main global site, positioning itself at the forefront of the crypto gambling industry.[1][2] Although banned in major markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom (before 2021), and much of Europe, Stake.com has grown to become one of the largest offshore crypto casinos. In 2022, it reportedly generated about US$2.6 billion in gross gaming revenue—making it one of the world’s largest gambling companies by revenue.[1][2]
Stake.com’s rapid ascent has been fueled by high-profile sponsorships (including Premier League football clubs, an F1 team, and UFC champions) and celebrity partnerships (notably with the rapper Drake). Its business model merges two controversial areas—online gambling and cryptocurrencies—prompting scrutiny by regulators and debates around consumer protection.
Overview
Stake.com operates globally under a Curaçao eGaming license, providing online casino games and sports wagers in various cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and others).[1] The platform’s offerings include thousands of slot and table games, a comprehensive sportsbook, and “Stake Originals” featuring provably fair mechanics. Despite geo-blocking several regions with strict regulatory regimes, the site has attracted a large user base in countries where online gambling laws are more permissive or in gray areas. As of 2022–2023, Stake.com continues to expand into locally regulated markets (e.g., the United Kingdom) with fiat-only variants of its platform.
History and Background
Founding
Stake.com was founded by Edward "Ed" Craven (an Australian) and Bijan Tehrani (an American) in 2017.[3] The two met as teenagers while running an in-game gambling operation in the online game RuneScape. After RuneScape developers banned staking duels in 2011, they pivoted to real-money Bitcoin gambling via a dice site called Primedice in 2013.[2][3] Profits from Primedice helped them launch a development company (Easygo) in Melbourne, Australia, which built the more ambitious crypto casino Stake.com.
Growth Milestones
After its 2017 launch, Stake.com added third-party slot and table games to its original dice offerings and introduced a sportsbook product in 2019.[1] Its user base expanded sharply in Latin America, Canada, parts of Asia, and Eastern Europe, leveraging the flexibility of cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals.
Timeline of Notable Events
- 2017: Stake.com goes live, featuring in-house provably fair casino games.[3]
- 2019: Expands to a broader suite of slots, table games, and a sportsbook.[1]
- 2020: Experiences growth from streamer partnerships and pandemic lockdowns.[2]
- 2021: Obtains a UKGC license via a local partner; sponsors Watford F.C. in the Premier League.[4]
- 2022: Inks major celebrity endorsement with Drake; Twitch bans crypto “slots” gambling streams, targeting sites like Stake. Stake’s founders then back the creation of Kick.com.[1][2]
- 2023: Title sponsor of Alfa Romeo F1 Team; secures Everton F.C. deal; hacked for US$41 million in crypto, attributed to the Lazarus Group.[5] The company covers the loss using reserves.
Ownership and Key People
Stake.com is privately held by its co-founders, Craven and Tehrani, who each own 50%.[2] Both rose to billionaire status by their late twenties. CEO Mladen Vuckovic oversees global operations.[3] The company’s main site operates under a Curaçao eGaming license, while local versions in markets like the UK are licensed domestically.
Business Model and Operations
Stake.com operates similarly to a traditional online casino and sportsbook, but uses cryptocurrency (on its main site) for deposits, wagers, and withdrawals.[1] Key characteristics:
- Crypto-Only Platform: Accepts multiple digital assets, with instant deposits and withdrawals. Local sites (e.g., Stake.uk.com) accept fiat where required.[3]
- Casino and Sportsbook: Thousands of slot and table games, live-dealer experiences, “Stake Originals,” plus sports betting on worldwide events.
- House Edge and Payouts: Standard margins on games and bets generate revenue; some high-rollers wager millions in crypto.[2]
- Affiliate Program and VIP System: Features a revenue-sharing affiliate model and tiered VIP levels offering rakeback and personal hosts.[6]
- Live-Stream Sponsorships: Popularized by partnering with Twitch/YouTube streamers who showcased high-stakes play. Following Twitch’s 2022 ban, Stake supported the development of Kick.com.[2]
Regulatory and Legal Landscape
Stake.com has leveraged a Curaçao license to operate globally, but stricter jurisdictions prompted it to launch separate, fully licensed sites:
Licensing and Jurisdictional Restrictions
- Uses Curaçao eGaming for its main site. Geo-blocks countries with tight gambling laws, though some users reportedly employ VPNs.[3]
- Entered the UK in 2021 under a local license, launching a fiat-based site.[7]
- Operates a US “social casino” (Stake.us) as a sweepstakes model rather than direct gambling.[2]
Compliance and KYC
Begun enforcing stricter KYC, particularly for large transactions and in regulated locales. Provides self-exclusion, deposit limits, and other responsible gambling tools.
Legal Challenges
- Christopher Freeman Lawsuit: A former associate claims he was excluded from Stake and alleges it encourages illegal VPN access; the founders dispute these allegations.[3]
- Twitch Ban: Stake’s streamer-centric marketing fueled criticism over potential underage viewing, culminating in Twitch banning crypto “slots” content in late 2022.[8]
- Regulatory Scrutiny: Some regulators see crypto casinos as high risk for money laundering, problem gambling, and unlicensed access.
Sponsorships and Partnerships
Stake.com is noted for high-profile deals in sports and entertainment:
Sports Team Sponsorships
- Watford F.C. (2021–2022): Principal shirt sponsor during the club’s Premier League campaign.[9]
- Everton F.C. (2022–present): A multi-year, club-record shirt sponsorship deal.[2]
- UFC: Official betting partner in select regions, sponsoring fighters such as Israel Adesanya and Francis Ngannou.[10]
- Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake (2023–): A major title sponsorship in Formula One.[2]
Celebrity and Entertainment Partnerships
- Drake: Signed a purported US$100 million-per-year deal to stream Stake roulette sessions and promote the brand.[1][2]
- Sergio Agüero: The Argentine football legend became a global ambassador in 2022.
- Kick.com: A streaming platform financed by Stake’s founders, attracting high-profile creators after Twitch’s gambling ban.[2]
Competitive Positioning
Stake.com is considered the largest crypto-focused casino operator, reporting revenues surpassing several mainstream bookmakers.[1][2] Competitors include Roobet, BC.Game, and other crypto casinos, though few match Stake’s marketing scale. Traditional sportsbooks could emerge as future rivals if they begin accepting crypto or expand globally.
Notable Users and High-Stakes Gambling
High-profile gamblers include:
- Drake: Frequently streams high-stakes roulette, sometimes placing six-figure bets per spin.[2]
- Trainwreckstv (Tyler Niknam): Claimed a US$360 million sponsorship from Stake over 16 months.[11]
- xQc (Felix Lengyel): One of Twitch’s largest streamers; also gambled on Stake before moving to Kick.[12]
Reports of massive wins and losses abound, showcasing the volatility and scale of crypto gambling on Stake.
Controversies and Challenges
- Founder Lawsuit: Ongoing legal dispute with Christopher Freeman over alleged partnership exclusion and illegal gambling practices.[3]
- Twitch Gambling Ban: Led to negative publicity regarding underage exposure and gambling addiction concerns.[13]
- Cyberattack (2023): Hackers stole ~US$41 million, attributed to North Korea’s Lazarus Group. Stake covered the losses from company reserves.[5]
- Regulatory Scrutiny: Authorities worry about problem gambling, money laundering, and unlicensed access. Some critics argue that VIP incentives and easy crypto deposits can exacerbate gambling addiction.
Future Outlook
Stake.com’s trajectory depends on global regulatory shifts, its continued investments in compliance, and the evolving crypto market. The company has signaled a strategic pivot toward fully licensed operations, adapting its business model (including KYC procedures and fiat betting in certain jurisdictions).[2]
- **Regulatory Expansion**: Likely to seek licenses in more major markets (e.g., parts of Europe, Latin America, and possibly the US if federal or state laws become favorable).
- **Kick.com Integration**: Its founders’ backing of the streaming platform Kick could sustain gambling-focused live streams, mitigating the impact of Twitch’s ban.
- **Mainstream Acceptance**: While early growth stemmed from an unregulated approach, Stake increasingly aims to establish itself as a legitimate, long-term operator with robust compliance and social responsibility programs.
The company’s prominence, marketing reach, and substantial revenue have made it a central figure in discussions about the future of crypto gambling, balancing innovation and regulatory oversight.
