Stakes sports betting experience – test & review

Bonus & VIP Offer

Since we are not far from the conclusion, I would like to highlight the advantages of the Stake in this section. Through a points system, the casino has the opportunity to improve its rating here. Especially the bonus offers in online casinos are particularly sought after. The provider surprises with a rich welcome bonus including rewarding free spins.

In addition, there are other exciting promotions such as weekday promotions, weekend bonuses and cashbacks, which are especially interesting for frequent players. I was also able to find Special Games during my visit to Stakes. Jackpot slots and Megaways slots are represented in large numbers. In addition, it is worth taking a look at the feature buy slots here, which add even more excitement to every game.

Betting offer

This online casino offers a remarkable 4,200 games. Considering the fact that the provider has not been on the market that long, it has expanded its offer at a rapid pace. As in many other virtual casinos, the popular slot machines are the most represented here.

My Stakes review also showed that you don’t have to do without table games. In a somewhat smaller number available, you still have the option to fall back on many different versions of online blackjack, roulette, video poker or baccarat. My personal favorite is definitely Roulette Silver from iSoftBet.

In general, it can be stated that there is no lack of themed worlds. Especially in the category of online slots, you can dive into medieval worlds, abandoned temples or Mexican cities, depending on your preference – there are no limits to your imagination. If you like it more realistic, you should pay a visit to the live dealer area at Stakes, but more about that in a moment.

I have had particularly pleasing Stakes experiences with the game providers. The online casino can call a good 54 providers its own. There are real industry giants like NetEnt or the providers Pragmatic Play or Play’n GO. In addition, there are smaller developer studios like Fazi, Caleta or the Ukrainian manufacturer studio Booongo.

Live Bets

Many online casino fans visit an Internet casino only for one thing – the live dealer casino. In this respect, the current operator does very well. Although the number of live games is not too large, it is more than sufficient. With 135 live games, there is something for everyone, my Stakes experience confirms.

So if you are looking for live roulette or live blackjack, this is the place to be. However, Stakes stands out especially due to its number of live providers. In addition to the industry leader Evolution, Pragmatic Live, Betgames, Ezugi and Vivo Gaming also provide table games and game shows such as Sweet Bonanza Candyland, Mega Wheel or Cash or Crash.

Quotes & Betting Features

While betting limits and payout rates don’t necessarily go hand in hand, the RTP value (Return to Player) is also an important factor when it comes to game planning. The payout ratio is a value that gives you information about the theoretical payout of winnings.

Among the game categories, this value varies greatly, since with regard to slots, for example, you have less intervention in the gameplay. If you look at the table below, you will see that table games have much higher percentages. This is due to the fact that you can intervene more in the respective game. However, always keep in mind that all casino games are still games of chance!

With regard to a fair distribution of winnings, the question naturally arises as to who checks these values. Here, online casinos as well as providers work with testing agencies that check the random number generators of the games for their fairness. Stakes performs very well in this respect, as the operator cooperates exclusively with manufacturer studios that offer games licensed by the GLI or eCOGRA test labs.

Reputation & Security

Last but not least: Stakes security! A point that always comes across a bit annoying next to the many colorful games, but without which playing would be a lot less fun. So that you don’t have to fear any fraud, I took a close look at the licensing of the Stakes and can say: Everything is right here.

Due to an existing EU-valid gambling license by the Antillephone Curaçao, the provider adheres to all precautions. This also includes the encryption of user data. Here, the Stakes works together with the IT company Cloudflare and guarantees the full 128-bit TLS encryption of your personal data. This means that third parties have no insight into your transaction history, for example.

Service & Support

Let’s move on to customer service. Here, my Stakes experiences turn out to be minimally mixed. However, I would like to start with the positive things. If you are facing problems, the operator has decided on different ways to contact them. On the one hand, you can use the e-mail contact form for larger questions or contact the live chat.

This is how you can reach the Stakes customer service:

Live chat: available 24/7, registration not required
Email and contact form response time: 2-3 days
Phone: not available
The live chat should actually excel in answering minor questions quickly. The only drawback: unfortunately, the customer service staff takes a long time to answer questions. If this is too nerve-racking for you, you should definitely take a look at the FAQ section. Here, important questions about bonuses, games and the payments are answered without having to write to a support.

Functions & Design

Let’s dive a bit deeper into the Stakes and take a look at the website. Here we are met by a pale red and deep black. The layout of the platform is also very user-friendly. In the upper area, you will find all the important points to get right into the gaming action, such as the cashier area and the game categories.

In the lower third of the Stakes Casino you will find all the important information about the operator, the payment methods and your own game progress. The support is also accessible at any time through a bar at the bottom of the screen. A successful and tidy concept in my opinion.

Let’s delve a bit deeper into the matter and deal with the technical details. Here I found that the Stakes is also very user-friendly in this respect, because: There is no need for an extra software download. Simply and conveniently open the casino website via your browser and start playing right away.

By the way, the game makers are partly responsible for great graphics and are provided by providers like Big Time Gaming and Playson. In addition to an instant play function that lets you play right away, the operator surprises with a razor-sharp HD resolution and first-class sound in almost all games and especially in the live casino.

The payment methods offered also enjoy a good reputation and promise secure and encrypted transactions. Right up front are the Visa and Mastercard credit card services. In addition, there is the prepaid card Neosurf as well as the Swedish payment service provider Klarna and the e-wallet Jeton. None of the providers charges fees for a deposit or withdrawal.

Mobile App

Constantly on the road and still want to play? That’s possible! More and more online casinos provide their users with a mobile casino app. Stakes Casino is also keeping up with the times and offers almost all games in its mobile web application that you can also play from your home PC.

The best thing is that you don’t even have to download a casino app, because you can play comfortably via the browser app of your smartphone or tablet. However, you should take two precautions. First, make sure you have a stable internet connection and that your browser has the latest update. Once you’ve checked these two things, there’s nothing standing in the way of a game in the park or on the train in the morning.
