Setting up an account at an online casino is quick, but knowing exactly what to expect at each step saves time and frustration.
Prerequisites
- A valid email address or phone number
- A government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license) for KYC verification
- A secure internet connection
- Optional: a cryptocurrency wallet if you intend to deposit with crypto
Step-by-Step Sign-Up
- Visit the official Casino stake website and click the Register button.
- Fill in your email, create a strong password (mixed case, numbers, symbols), and select your preferred currency.
- Confirm your email via the verification link sent to your inbox.
- Log in for the first time using your email and password.
- Complete the KYC process by uploading a clear photo of your ID and a recent utility bill or bank statement (address proof).
- Set up two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra account security.
- Make your first deposit using one of the available methods (credit card, e-wallet, or crypto).
Mobile App
Instead of a downloadable app from the App Store or Google Play, Stake uses a progressive web app (PWA). To install it, open the website in your mobile browser, tap the share icon, and select “Add to Home Screen.” This creates an app-like icon that launches the site in full-screen mode with push notification support.
How Bonuses Work
Bonuses typically consist of a deposit match plus extra spins. For example, a common offer is a 100% match bonus up to €100. To unlock winnings, you must meet a wagering requirement. Important: Wagering requirements apply to the sum of deposit and bonus.
Formula: Wagering Required = (Deposit + Bonus) × Wagering Multiplier
Example: Deposit €100, receive €100 bonus, with a 35x wagering requirement:
(€100 + €100) × 35 = €7,000
You must wager €7,000 before withdrawing any bonus-related winnings. Slots typically contribute 100%, while table games may contribute less (e.g., 10%). Check the terms for game contributions.
Need to Know
How long do withdrawals take?
Withdrawal times vary by method. E-wallets typically process within 24 hours, credit cards 3–5 business days, and bank transfers up to 7 days. Crypto withdrawals are often instant after approval.
Is there a minimum deposit?
Yes, the minimum deposit is usually around €10 for fiat currencies and a small equivalent for crypto (e.g., 0.001 BTC). Minimum withdrawal limits are similar.
What currency can I use?
Stake supports fiat currencies (EUR, USD, etc.) and many cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, USDT, LTC, etc.). You can switch between them, but you must use the same currency for deposits and withdrawals.
Do I need to pay tax on winnings?
If you are playing from a jurisdiction where the casino is licensed (e.g., Curacao), winnings may be subject to local income tax. It is your responsibility to declare and pay any applicable taxes. We recommend consulting a tax advisor.
Good to Know
If your withdrawal is delayed beyond the stated timeframe, take the following steps:
- Check your email for any KYC or withdrawal verification requests.
- Log in and check the withdrawal status in your account history.
- Contact live chat support for an update – they usually respond within minutes.
- If no resolution, follow up via email (support@stake.com) and include your account ID and transaction details.
