Stake – Casino for Crypto High Rollers
Stake is the largest crypto casino in the world and arguably the most prominent company in this niche. Title sponsor of a Formula 1 team, billions in turnover, founders on the Forbes list. We'll break down who is behind it, what licenses it holds, and what has happened over its eight years of operation.
Stake in numbers
The company is private and does not publish reports, so all that is known are analyst estimates and figures provided by the founders themselves. Below is what is confirmed by sources.
| Metric | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|
| Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) | $4.7 billion | 2024 |
| GGR growth vs. 2022 | +80% | 2022 → 2024 |
| Monthly visits to stake.com | 133.9 million | June 2026 |
| Average session duration | 13 minutes 26 seconds | June 2026 |
| Company valuation | $14–23.5 billion | 2025 |
| Total crypto casino market, GGR | $81.4 billion | 2024 |
The last figure is the most important here. The entire global crypto casino market for 2024 earned $81.4 billion, and almost six percent of that amount came from a single platform. No one else in the niche has a share even remotely close to that.
Traffic deserves a separate mention, because the figure of 133.9 million visits is deceptive. This is for one domain, stake.com, but the platform also has a separate American version, stake.us — it gathered 34.6 million in May 2026, and it's not the same thing at all: there, people play not for money, but using a sweepstakes model. Plus, there are dozens of mirror sites like stake1001, stake1017, and so on, which are not included in the overall statistics.
An average session of 13 and a half minutes — that's what truly sets the platform apart. For comparison, a typical slot site keeps a visitor for three to four minutes. Thirteen minutes mean that a person didn't just drop by to look, but sat down to play.
The geography is also not what you'd expect from a crypto casino. Most of the traffic comes from Canada, followed by India and Norway. Canada is understandable — there's no federal ban on offshore platforms there. But India on this list explains why Stake invests so much in cricket and why the interface has long been translated into Hindi.
Sponsorship
In 2023, Stake became a co-title sponsor of the Formula 1 team Sauber, and from the 2024 season, it gained full naming rights — the team competed as Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber. The contract was for two seasons: in 2026, Sauber will become a factory team for Audi and will operate under its brand.
It was the F1 sponsorship that brought Stake out of the niche of crypto enthusiasts into mainstream recognition. At the same time, it brought the company legal complications: gambling advertising is regulated differently in each country, and in some jurisdictions, the name on the car proved to be a problem.
