Stake Casino review: Games, payment methods, mobile experience

Excellent choice, with some minor shortcomings

You’ll find very few complaints for this section of my Stake casino review. There are ample games to choose from, the software providers are all highly-reputable, and the RTP range is above average for crypto gambling sites. Even better, you can actually choose games with an enhanced RTP and opt for the very best odds.

I love the fact that Stake doesn’t limit things to the obvious categories, but also includes a super selection of games like crash and dice. Most sites offer only a couple of these games at best, just to tick a box. But Stake goes all out with a full portfolio of 22 dice games and 10 crash games. That said, the selection of live tables is under a 100 - not exactly amazing. If you’d like a better choice, head over to iWild Casino, which offers more than 300.

Rather strangely, don’t expect to be wowed by the jackpots. They don’t even get their own section, so you’ll have to search for the title you’re after by name. I did find the million-maker Mega Moolah available when I keyed it in, but I’d much rather be presented with a specific selection. Bitcasino, by comparison, has a 130+ strong category showcasing the prize pools.

Rich crypto selection

Stake.com doesn’t hold back when it comes to mixing diverse cryptos in one place. You’ve got the popular picks like Bitcoin and Binance Coin—great for their large user base and low transaction fees. But what really caught my eye is ApeCoin making an appearance. It’s great to see the casino adding newer, up-and-coming coins with potential.

The best part? The site is connected to MoonPay, so you can buy extra crypto directly without needing a third-party exchange.

Pretty convenient, if you ask me.

Very flexible payment & cashout terms

When I come upon a no minimum deposit casino, it tells me a lot about how keen it is to ensure that the experience is a fun and positive one to all players, regardless of budget. You’re not going to be pressured to spend more than you can afford here, which is always a good thing. It makes a nice change from sites like Dolly Casino, which require at least $30 before you can play.

There’s no maximum cashout either, so if you want to clean out all your winnings in one go, you can. Once again, this is very rare and even the best sites typically put a limit. Calvin casino, for example, has one of the highest limits at €100,000, but it’s still enforced.

My only niggle here is an unexpected gap in information. The main payments page only offers the minimum cashout amounts for the top five cryptos as listed above, alongside (very low) transaction fees. There’s a link that claims to contain the full list of terms, but it’s empty. Basically, your only solution if you want to know the minimum limit for, say, Polygon, is to actually try to make a payment and see how little it allows you to put in.

Link-specific bonus system may leave you undecided

If there’s one thing this Stake casino review revealed, it’s that this gambling site likes to do things differently. Very few casinos can get away with not offering a straight-up welcome bonus, but Stake does. This just goes to show what a strong and excellent experience it provides, as players remain as keen as ever to join up and play. However, the $100 minimum deposit required to unlock the bonus may be too steep for casual players.

To get a better idea of the other offers available at Stake, all you need to do is visit the site’s socials. Free spins promotions are given out multiple times a week, and you’ll need to use the bonus codes to claim them. Good enough reason to log into Facebook, I’d say. On the other hand, if you want to know exactly what you’ll be getting, check out the Casinomax welcome bonus of 350% up to $3,250.

Apart from this, the sheer number of leaderboards and tournaments available is mind-boggling, so in truth, there’s never an ‘offer-free’ moment if you’re a regular player.

Next generation mobile compatibility

It’s easy to see that whoever designed Stake had mobile gameplay in mind from the get-go. The layout effortlessly translates to mobile, using a system of stacked menus that don’t overload the page and are very easy to browse.

Signing in is extremely simple, especially if you have already logged into your Google profile or socials on your device. Stake will sync to them and log you in through any of those platforms, so you don’t even need to key in a password. Loading time is extremely fast for all games. Honestly, you won’t miss a mobile app at all!

Extremely rigorous security measures

Stake’s level of security is pretty unassailable. I’ve already been through the different measures it takes to ensure game fairness and that its legal obligations - such as KYC - are satisfied. I believe it goes way beyond the call of duty in this regard.

One last word about the safety of your money. As a player, you can choose to use the Stake Vault, which has the same level of security features as a regular crypto wallet. You can store multiple types of cryptos and make use of heightened safety features that you can customize yourself.

Because the security features are more rigorous, you can’t use the funds that are stored here to play with directly - you’ll need to transfer them to your account first. Think of this as a virtual vault. It’s totally up to you whether you decide to use it, or whether you prefer to simply store your cryptos in a regular account. I feel that it offers extra peace of mind that I haven’t seen at any other site.

The gold standard of customer support

I dare you to find better customer support available, anywhere. Stake casino has taken the concept to the next level with its attention to detail. The FAQs are incredibly helpful, and if you’re anything like me you’ll end up going down the rabbit hole with the guides that contain genuinely useful and interesting information. This is especially true if you’ve only just started gambling with crypto.

Having customer support available in several languages is actually a big plus, especially when many casinos, like Casombie, limit support to English only. This added accessibility helps make the platform more user-friendly for a global audience.
