Stake review for Canadians: big brand, crypto only
Stake is run by Medium Rare N.V. under Curaçao licence 145353 and has been live since 2017. It is one of the most recognised names in crypto gambling, and it also carries a full sportsbook on the same account.
Where you can play from
Stake's own list of blocked countries does not include Canada, but several sources report Ontario as a restricted province. As with every casino here, read the terms for your province before signing up, and do not use a VPN.
Payments
Deposits and withdrawals are crypto only: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash and XRP on our records. There is no Interac and no card withdrawal, so from Canada you will go through an exchange. Minimums depend on the coin and are shown in the cashier.
Our withdrawal test
We requested a small crypto withdrawal on 7 October 2026. It arrived within one to five minutes.
Games and sports
Around 8,400 games from 45 studios, plus Stake Originals (Dice, Mines, Plinko, Keno, Crash and more). The sportsbook on the same login runs from hockey and basketball to soccer and esports.
Bonus
There is no standard welcome bonus. Rewards come from the VIP programme, reloads and promotions, so there is also no rollover to clear before your first withdrawal.
Who it suits
Players who already hold crypto and want a long track record and a sportsbook in one place. If you need Interac, look at BitStarz instead.

Licence and company
Operator: Medium Rare N.V. · running since 2017
- Curaçao · #145353
In Canada, online gambling is run or licensed by each province: iGaming Ontario and the AGCO in Ontario, the AGLC in Alberta, and Crown lottery corporations elsewhere (BCLC, Loto-Québec, Atlantic Lottery and others). This casino holds a licence from abroad instead, so no Canadian regulator handles complaints about it. If a cash-out is refused, your options are the casino's own support and the foreign licensing body.
Countries the casino blocks: AU, IR, CW, US, KP, SY, CZ. Canada is not on that list. Offshore brands usually also exclude Ontario, which licenses its own market, so read the casino's terms for your province and never use a VPN: it can void your winnings.
Good
- Withdraw in USDT or USDC, so the value holds while you wait
Not so good
- No Interac in the cashier list
- Offshore licence: no Canadian regulator to complain to
Close to it in our ranking
- Cashy: our numbers 7.6/10
- Shuffle review 7.5/10
