Stake
7.0 / 10
Stake is a Curaçao-licensed online gambling operator offering sportsbook, live dealer, VIP program and provably fair games, run by Medium Rare N.V. It accepts players from most countries, with a very short published restricted list. This suits players who want wide access and are comfortable with operator-discretion KYC and no Danish licence.

In the operator's own words

“No US Bets (and others)”
This page reviews Stake from published terms and the Curaçao Gaming Authority register. It does not report on deposits made or games played, because none were. The facts were captured on 2026-08-26 and operators change terms without notice.
Stake describes itself as offering a sportsbook, live dealer, VIP program and provably fair games. The operator holds its licence through Medium Rare N.V., and the register entry names that company. Beyond the licence and terms, this review does not have a confirmed start year or game count.
The most important facts for a Danish reader are not on the marketing pages. Stake has no Danish licence, no MitID and no ROFUS connection. Its verification clause lets the operator demand KYC at any time without a published threshold.
A short restricted-country list is convenient, but lists can change. Readers should check the operator's own licence page and cashier before depositing.
What is Stake and who runs it?
Stake is an online gambling site whose own materials list four offers: sportsbook, live dealer, VIP program and provably fair games. This review does not have a game count or provider names, because those were not published in a form this page could read. The cashier and games lobby are where a player would see the actual range.
The corporate entity behind the licence is Medium Rare N.V. The licence register entry for OGL/2024/1451/0918 names that company and shows the licence active. No founding year was captured in this review, so this page will not place Stake as old or new.
What matters for a depositor is not brand framing but the corporate and licensing structure. Stake's terms and restricted-countries page are the key documents. The next section reads that licence.
What does the licence say and what is it worth in Denmark?
The Curaçao Gaming Authority register confirms licence OGL/2024/1451/0918 as active, held by Medium Rare N.V. The certificate entry is public at cert.cga.cw and was current in the register when this page was captured. That gives a verifiable point of control, not a Danish one.
For a player in Denmark the Curaçao licence is not equivalent to a Danish licence from Spillemyndigheden. Denmark has licensed online casino since 2012 under Lov om spil. Stake holds no Danish licence, so it cannot offer MitID login, and it is outside Danish supervision.
The licence still matters because it determines where a dispute goes: to the operator's own process, then to whatever body the Curaçao licence names. Spillemyndigheden has no authority over Stake. A Danish player should understand that before depositing.
What can Stake ask for under its verification clause?
Clause 4.8 of Stake's terms says the operator may request KYC documentation at any time to determine identity and location. It may restrict service, payment or withdrawal until identity is sufficiently determined. Withdrawals require identity verification, and additional KYC may be required for any withdrawal.
The important absence is a threshold. The clause does not state an amount that triggers verification. The trigger is the operator's judgement, not a withdrawal size. A player who assumes small withdrawals will avoid KYC is reading something the terms do not say.
That is a real risk for a depositor. Verification can be requested before any withdrawal, and the operator can hold funds while it assesses documents. A player should expect KYC as part of withdrawal, not as an exception.
What are the withdrawal limits, and what can the operator do?
This review found no withdrawal cap figure in Stake's published terms. That is not a claim that no cap exists; it means the terms accessible at stake.com/policies/terms on 2026-08-26 did not state one that could be read. A cap, if any, would appear in the cashier or account limits.
Because the terms let the operator require KYC for any withdrawal, the effective limit is partly operational rather than written. A player's first withdrawal may be slower while documents are reviewed, regardless of amount. The operator's approval wait and then network confirmations are separate delays.
The absence of a published cap is easier for the operator to change without notice than a fixed table. Check the cashier for the current figure before depositing, and do not assume a larger balance can be paid out in one request.
How do deposits and withdrawals actually move?
A deposit begins at the cashier, where Stake lists the assets it accepts. This review could not read that list in a stable form, so no coin is named here as accepted or refused. The minimum deposit is set per asset and is shown at the cashier before you send funds.
A withdrawal follows the same route in reverse: request the amount in the cashier, in an asset the operator supports for payouts. Clause 4.8 means identity verification may be required before the operator approves the request, and additional KYC may be requested for any withdrawal.
After approval, the funds move on the asset's network, which has its own confirmation time. The total wait is operator approval plus network confirmations. This page does not have a support response-time figure or payout-speed figure, so no number is given.
Which countries does Stake refuse?
Stake publishes a restricted-country list. As captured on 2026-08-26 from stake.com/licenses, that list contained one entry. Denmark was not on it at that moment. A short list is easy to read but can be lengthened without notice.
The operator's own wording for the list is No US Bets (and others), and the published page is the source. A reader should check it against their own country and citizenship, because operators often restrict by location, nationality, or both, and a change may not be announced prominently.
The fact that Denmark is absent from the captured list does not make Stake a Danish-licensed operator. It simply means the operator had not named Denmark as refused on that date. Restricted status and legal status are different questions.
What does playing from Denmark mean for MitID, ROFUS and complaints?
Stake has no Danish licence, so it cannot offer MitID login. Connecting to MitID requires a certified Danish broker and a Danish CVR number, which a Curaçao-licensed operator does not have. The login will be whatever the operator offers, not the Danish national eID.
ROFUS is the Danish self-exclusion register and binds Danish licence holders only. Stake is not connected to ROFUS and cannot be. That is a fact about the register's scope, not an invitation to play while self-excluded. Anyone who has self-excluded should contact StopSpillet on 70 22 28 25.
If a dispute arises, Spillemyndigheden has no authority over Stake. A complaint goes first to Stake's own process, then to whatever body the Curaçao licence names. Tax treatment of winnings is a separate question; Skattestyrelsen treats a win as tax-free only where the game is based in the EU or EEA and supervised there, and Curaçao is neither. A player should take their own position to Skattestyrelsen.
Who is Stake for, and who should look elsewhere?
Stake suits a reader who wants a single account for sportsbook, live dealer and provably fair games, and who is comfortable with a Curaçao licence, operator-discretion KYC and no Danish supervisory backstop. The short restricted list means most readers will not be blocked by geography as captured.
It is wrong for a reader who wants MitID, ROFUS protection, or a dispute resolved by Spillemyndigheden. Those are Danish-licence features and Stake cannot offer them. It is also wrong for a player who wants a fixed written withdrawal cap or a KYC threshold stated in advance, because the terms do not provide either.
A player who assumes a short restricted list will stay short, or that small withdrawals will skip verification, is reading against the documents. Stake's terms allow KYC at any time and the list can change without notice. Those are the honest negatives in this review.

Step by step
Create an account
Open Stake and complete the signup process using the details the operator requests. Expect that KYC may be demanded at any time, including before any withdrawal, under clause 4.8.
Fund your account
Open the cashier and choose an asset from the list Stake displays. Send the amount you want to deposit, noting the minimum the cashier states for that asset. Confirm the network and address before sending.
Prepare for verification
Before requesting a withdrawal, gather identity and location documents. Stake may request KYC at any time, and withdrawals require identity verification. Additional KYC may be required for any withdrawal.
Request a withdrawal
Return to the cashier and request a withdrawal in an asset the operator supports for payouts. Enter the amount and your wallet address. Submit the request and watch for a KYC request from the operator.
Wait for approval and network
Wait for Stake to approve the withdrawal. After approval, the asset's network must confirm the transaction before funds reach your wallet. Both waits are outside your control.
Things you can check yourself
Each of these can be confirmed without taking this page's word for it: in the register that issued the licence, or in the operator's own terms at the clause named.

Questions about Stake
Is Stake licensed?
Yes. Stake operates under Curaçao Gaming Authority licence OGL/2024/1451/0918, held by Medium Rare N.V., and the register shows it active. The licence is public at cert.cga.cw. It is not a Danish licence.
Who owns Stake?
The licence is held by Medium Rare N.V., a corporate entity named in the Curaçao register entry. This page has no further ownership details beyond that register entry, and no founding year was captured. The corporate structure matters because it is the licensed entity.
Is Stake legal in Denmark?
Stake has no Danish licence from Spillemyndigheden. Danish law has licensed online casino since 2012, and Stake is not among those licence holders. A Danish player can access the site if the operator's restricted list permits, but Danish authorities have no supervisory power over it.
Can I use MitID to log in to Stake?
No. MitID login requires a certified Danish broker and a Danish CVR number, which a Curaçao-licensed operator does not have. Stake cannot offer MitID. The login method will be whatever the operator provides.
Is Stake connected to ROFUS?
No. ROFUS binds Danish licence holders only, and Stake does not hold a Danish licence. That means a self-exclusion registered with ROFUS does not reach Stake. If you are self-excluded, contact StopSpillet on 70 22 28 25; do not use this as a way to continue playing.
What is Stake's KYC policy?
Clause 4.8 allows Stake to ask for KYC documentation at any time to determine identity and location. Withdrawals require identity verification, and additional KYC may be required for any withdrawal. The clause gives no threshold amount; the trigger is the operator's judgement.
Is there a withdrawal limit at Stake?
This review found no withdrawal cap figure in Stake's published terms. That does not mean there is no limit; the cashier is where a limit would show. Check the current figure before you deposit, because the terms let the operator require KYC for any withdrawal.
How long do withdrawals take?
Stake's terms do not state a processing time. After you request a withdrawal, the operator must approve it, and then the asset's network must confirm the transaction. Both waits apply. This page has no support response-time or payout-speed figure.
What can I play at Stake?
Stake's own materials list a sportsbook, live dealer games, VIP program and provably fair games. This page does not have a game count or provider names, because those were not published in a form this review could read. The games lobby shows the actual range.
