The Stake platform offers an optimised interface available on desktop, PWA, and dedicated mobile applications. We evaluated navigation ease, interface settings, and platform responsiveness during peak load periods.

Navigation

Regardless of betting experience, the platform is easy to use. Account controls are located in the top-right corner, switching between casino and sportsbook is available in the top-left, and an expanded service menu is placed on the left side. The platform supports 16 languages, including Filipino and English. Odds can be displayed in six formats, such as decimal and Indonesian.

Design

The Stake website features a modern, minimalist design with a dark colour scheme that enhances focus and readability. Its clear structure and intuitive navigation allow users to easily switch between sportsbook, casino, and live betting sections, improving overall usability and ensuring a smooth betting experience.

There is no separate download tab for the Stake mobile app on the website; however, iOS users can download a dedicated app from the App Store. The app is 37.9 MB in size, has a 4.5/5 rating, and is compatible with iOS 15.6 and above.

Stake Sportsbook offers coverage of events from more than 80 countries worldwide. We evaluated the most popular sports, odds quality based on margin, availability of live streaming, and market depth for major tournaments.

Sports coverage (36)

Stake Sportsbook offers a total of 36 sports, covering major categories such as football, cricket, and basketball, as well as more local options like netball and darts. Football receives the most extensive coverage, including the top five European leagues, as well as UEFA and FIFA tournaments, including the Champions League and the FIFA World Cup.

Sports odds

Stake odds quality is directly dependent on the bookmaker’s margin. Despite Stake stating its margin at around 3%, our calculations suggest this differs in practice. For example, across popular sports, the average Stake margin is approximately 7.6%. Calculations were based on popular markets such as 1X2 or moneyline: football 4.5%, basketball 7.2%, MMA 8.8%.

Live betting and streaming

Stake live betting is available in the main Sportsbook menu by clicking on the Live Betting tab. In the opened list, users can customise the display of preferred sports and markets. Stake live streaming is not available for all events; however, its availability is indicated by a special icon. To activate video streaming, users must be registered and logged in.

Limits

The minimum stake for single, multi, and system bets starts from ₱0.55, while the maximum stake amount is displayed in your bet slip, along with the potential winnings calculated individually.

Betting markets

The total number of available markets can be seen in the general event list, where all matches are displayed. Players can easily navigate between categories such as Goals, Asian Lines, Half, Goalscorers, Corners, and others. On average, the number of markets ranges from 10 to 100 options. For example, Premier League matches offer up to 95 markets and around 1,300 betting options, including markets such as 1x2, both teams to score, double chance, totals, and handicaps.

Minimum / maximum deposits

Players can use 22 different cryptocurrencies for deposits, with minimum deposit limits starting from 1 USDT. The processing time varies depending on the blockchain, but generally takes no longer than 5 minutes.

eSports coverage (17)

Stake esports coverage stands out in the Philippine market compared to competitors, offering 17 esports disciplines, including popular titles such as Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, and League of Legends, as well as less popular options like Age of Empires and FIFA. Players can place bets on Tier 1 tournaments such as Majors, BLAST events, the PGL circuit, and The International.

eSports odds

Stake odds for esports are characterised by higher volatility and also depend on the operator’s margin and the specific discipline. Stake’s margin for esports typically ranges from 8% to 10%. According to our calculations, for the Dota 2 DreamLeague Season 29 tournament, the margin on Match Winner markets is 8.56%, while for Counter-Strike 2 at the PGL tournament, it is 9.1%.

eSports live betting and streaming

Stake live betting is available for all pre-match events covered on the platform. Stake live streaming is provided via a third-party streaming platform, Kick, which hosts live video broadcasts. The video player can be moved to a convenient position and also switched to full-screen mode. During live streaming, players can continue placing bets or analyse live statistics, including player performance metrics.

eSports betting markets

The total number of markets is displayed next to the event for Tier 1 tournaments in Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2. For BO3 and BO5 matches, the total number of markets can reach up to 110 options, including markets such as match winner/map winner, total rounds, first Roshan kill, and pistol round winner. For Tier 2 tournaments, the number of available markets is usually limited to around 10, typically offering only basic options such as map winner and match winner.

Besides sports betting, players are offered the Stake casino, featuring proprietary games developed by the operator (Stake Originals). We reviewed the overall game library, betting limits, providers, and the availability of live games.

Software providers

The game selection includes around 350 providers, including Stake, Pragmatic Play, and PG Soft. Providers within each category are displayed in alphabetical order, along with the number of available games shown next to each developer. Users can search for a specific provider using the search bar or click on its icon to access the full game portfolio.

Selection of casino games

Players are offered over 5,000 game titles in total, including categories such as slots, table games, Stake Originals, and instant/crash games. Real-money play is available with stakes ranging from ₱10 to ₱100,000. Players can also adjust the display currency, and games can be opened in a mini-player mode.

Live dealer games

A total of over 170 live games are available, including variants such as Blackjack, Poker, Baccarat, Roulette, and others. The selection is provided by four providers: Pragmatic Play, 155, Animo Studios, and Evolution. Using the settings, users can sort games by popularity and newest releases. Next to each game, the number of active players is displayed.

Minimum / maximum deposits

Betting limits for live dealer games can be configured individually for each game and table. Limit settings range from ₱50 to over ₱50,000 per round.

During our review of Stake, we examined the sportsbook, market depth, odds quality, available bonuses, and casino features.

Overall, Stake offers more than 36 traditional sports disciplines, 17 esports disciplines, horse racing, and over 5,000 casino games, including unique titles from Stake Originals.

Stake specials provide active players with access to daily prize draws of up to $100,000 and weekly draws of up to $75,000 for simple betting activity. In conclusion, the platform is suitable for both beginners and experienced players who are comfortable using crypto deposits and enjoy bonuses for active gameplay.

However, bonus hunters may be disappointed, as there is no traditional welcome bonus and generally no deposit match bonus mechanics in the sportsbook section.
