Stake Casino is one of the biggest iGaming sites in the industry. Often advertised as the best crypto casino, it offers more than just thousands of games and crypto deposits. In fact, it\u2019s a full-fledged casino that deserves a try, but unfortunately, the hype is too real for many aspects of the casino. The casino also accepts a limited number of fiat money in addition to cryptocurrencies. It looks simple yet elegant, and has a proper Curacao license. It is owned and operated by Rare Medium and has partnered with many popular sports teams, ambassadors, and celebrities.\r\nOne of the things that bothers us the most is the lack of a welcome bonus. To be honest, even if the terms weren\u2019t good, some players would have liked to see one. Stake Casino tries to cover it up with constant raffles and challenges, but they can\u2019t replace the warm welcome of a good bonus<\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Stake Casino bonus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Nearly any online casino in the world has a welcome bonus for you to start with. That\u2019s almost automatic, but Stake doesn\u2019t play by the rules. Instead, it has decided to skip the welcome package altogether, giving new players nothing when they sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Well, nothing is a bit of a strong term. The casino does have numerous promotions, raffles, and challenges for registered players. But, none of them is a welcome offer, unless you have an affiliate referral code that you must enter within the first 24h upon your account creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u00a0We\u2019re kind of divided on the whole ordeal. Bad welcome bonuses are not worth getting, but skipping one altogether just makes it look like you don\u2019t care for new users. The marketing team is probably hoping that Drake and Israel Adesanya as ambassadors do more than a bonus, which we think is a big gamble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Bonus terms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      We can\u2019t talk about the welcome bonus terms simply because there isn\u2019t one to claim. But, if you take a look at the other offers, you\u2019ll see that they aren\u2019t that great. The raffles and challenges that constantly take place require special tickets which are typically expensive to get. Those prize pools look cool, but if you check the terms, you\u2019ll see that not all of them are that great, no matter which celebrity or ambassador says it\u2019s great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We\u2019d like to see more promotions and consider the terms, and we hope it happens soon. The article will be promptly updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Promotions for existing customers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      There are plenty of promotions for existing customers at Stake casino. Most of them are either raffles or challenges which will earn you extra loyalty points or part of the prize pool. These are typically periodic promotions for specific games or leaderboard tournaments where the casino promises major rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      They\u2019re not that major, unfortunately, and many of them constantly change. For example, the weekly giveaway changes the terms all the time, and if you jump on the train midweek, you\u2019ll most likely miss earning anything. Plus, you only get one entry for each NZ$1,000 you spent, which is too steep a price for this kind of promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      VIP program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      VIP programs are not always great. To be honest, most of the time they\u2019re not worth it. You can categorize Stake\u2019s bespoke VIP club as one. It offers a wide range of benefits such as priority customer support and faster withdrawals, but the level-up bonuses and rakeback deals are not as good as the casino claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Instead of loyalty points, you climb up the VIP ladder by spending more money. Or heaps of money, more like it. The casino is not that transparent when it comes to bonus wagering, although it does mention that all level-up bonuses must be wagered before withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Level<\/th>Threshold (CPs)<\/th>Benefits<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
      Bronze<\/td>NZ$10,000 wager amount<\/td>Monthly Bonuses
      Level Up Bonuses

      Bonus Growth
      Daily \/ Reload Bonuses<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      As you can see from the numbers, it takes a lot of money to be spent to climb the higher levels. With the casino not being transparent on the other stuff such as not saying anything about the wagering conditions, we\u2019ll rather pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Casino games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Stake Casino\u2019s lobby is powered by some of the top game studios on the market. Among them are NetEnt, Play\u2019n GO, Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and its own in-house studio that\u2019s responsible for the exclusives. If you\u2019re a new player and you don\u2019t know where to start, we\u2019d head straight for the featured games. There are some gems in there\u2014particularly slots\u2014that are good and fun enough to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The game variety is solid, even though the focus is on the Stake Exclusives and slots. The latter takes the largest number of spots in the lobby, with all others playing a smaller role. But, for both new and existing players, most options are covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Game type<\/th>Number of games<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
      Slots games<\/td>2.500+<\/td><\/tr>
      Progressive jackpots<\/td>50+<\/td><\/tr>
      Megaways slots<\/td>100+<\/td><\/tr>
      Video poker<\/td>10+<\/td><\/tr>
      Table & card games<\/td>200+<\/td><\/tr>
      All types<\/td>3.000+<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Now for the negatives \u2013 this isn\u2019t a casino for video poker fans. Or poker fans in general, to be honest. We also think that the casino can improve its categorization by adding more filters instead of a few game types, provider picks, and a search bar.<\/p>\n\n\n
