Stake.com is a cryptocurrency-oriented sportsbook and casino operated by Medium Rare N.V.
Licence
Stake states that Medium Rare N.V., Curaçao registration 145353, operates stake.com under Curaçao Gaming Authority licence OGL/2024/1451/0918.
Southwestern Europe
France, Italy, Portugal and Spain are all prohibited jurisdictions. Several other European countries are also restricted.
Assessment
Stake publishes a specific licence and clear restrictions. Because all four initial target countries are prohibited, BookmakerLens does not present stake.com as available there. No score is assigned.
Official licences · Official terms
Sportsbook and casino range
Stake combines conventional sports betting, esports, live casino, slots and proprietary games with cryptocurrency-led payments. Product breadth is a major part of its brand, but it is irrelevant where the main stake.com service is prohibited.
Payments and verification
The operator maintains anti-money-laundering and identity-verification controls and may restrict activity based on location, risk and sanctions screening. Crypto use does not remove KYC, source-of-funds or geographic obligations.
Strengths and concerns
- Strengths: specific Curaçao licence disclosure, broad product coverage and a clearly published restricted-country list.
- Concerns: all four initial BookmakerLens target countries are prohibited on stake.com; separate Stake licences elsewhere do not transfer to Europe.
Verdict
Stake may be a significant global brand, but it cannot be presented as an option for readers located in France, Italy, Portugal or Spain under its current terms.
Review basis: official licensing, terms and AML documentation; no funded account test has been performed.
