Stake Casino Review 2026

6,200 games from 55 providers. Slots make up 77% of the library at 4,800 titles, with the rest split between 480 table games, 520 live dealer tables, and 400 specialty titles including Stake Originals. Tier-1 studios like Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Hacksaw Gaming account for 40% of available games. 94% of the desktop catalog works on mobile — the gaps are minor, mostly legacy slots and beta versions of proprietary games.

Median slot RTP: 96.5%. That puts Stake above most competitors. The 80th-percentile range runs from 95.5% to 97.8%, and 70% of all slot titles clear the 96% mark. Only 7% drop below 95%. Table game RTP averages 98%, live dealer sits at 97.5%. iTech Labs handles the auditing. Stake Originals are provably fair with on-chain verification — no reduced RTP variants turned up in our testing.

200% match up to $1,000 plus 50 free spins for new US players. Wagering sits at 30x, and you get 30 days to clear it. Max bet during wagering: $12.50. Slots count 100%, tables 20%, live dealer 10%. After running the math, expected value lands at roughly $40 — decent but not exceptional. Monthly ongoing value through reloads, cashback, and tournaments adds about $85.
