Compare the Stake sites by operator, licence, currency and who may join, then see what else you can pick inside stake.com.
- Curaçao GA licensed
- Interac & CAD cards
- 24/7 live chat
Short answer. Stake alternatives here means other Stake sites and products, not other brands. Canada outside Ontario uses stake.com. The sites for the US, Mexico, Brazil and Denmark are separate companies for residents of those countries, and Ontario residents cannot use Stake.
Why Players Look for Stake Alternatives
People who search for Stake alternatives usually have one of five reasons. This guide does not compare other brands, so an alternative means another Stake site or another part of stake.com.
- Location: clause 14.3 of Stake's terms lists Ontario among the prohibited jurisdictions, so players in Ontario cannot use Stake. The rest of Canada is not listed.
- Another domain: you found stake.us, stake.mx or stake.dk and wonder which is yours. Each is a separate site for one country.
- Another game type: slots are one corner of stake.com, next to Originals, live dealers, sports and poker.
- Another regulator: the Stake sites answer to different bodies, and some readers want to see who licenses theirs.
- Other rules: age limits, currencies and payments change from one Stake site to the next.
In Canada outside Ontario the Stake site is stake.com, and the home page covers its offer and cashier. Stake's list names no territory; the Nunavut page looks at one place in detail.
Stake Alternatives Compared: Five Sites
Five Stake sites cover five countries. The table shows who runs each, who regulates it, its currency and who is allowed in. It is a map, not a menu: you pick the site for the country you live in.
| Site | Operator | Regulator | Currency | Who can join |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| stake.com | Medium Rare N.V., Curaçao | Curaçao Gaming Authority | CAD wallet, crypto | Canada outside Ontario, 18+ |
| stake.us | Sweepsteaks Limited, Cyprus | Not published | Gold Coins, Stake Cash | US residents 21+, 22 states excluded |
| stake.mx | Unocapali La Paz Operadora, Mexico | SEGOB | Mexican pesos | People physically in Mexico, 18+ |
| stake.bet.br | Stake Brazil Ltda. | SPA, Ministry of Finance | Reais (Pix only) | Residents of Brazil, 18+; suspended |
| stake.dk | Stake Denmark A/S | Spillemyndigheden | Danish kroner | Residents of Denmark, 18+ |

Read the last column first. Canada outside Ontario is covered by stake.com alone. Stake.us is a sweepstakes site, and stake.bet.br is suspended: Brazil banned online betting and casinos on 25 September 2026, according to the government's "Brasil sem Bets" page (read 9 October 2026).
Same Platform, Different Operator
The Stake name and many games are shared. The company, the licence and the rules are not. Pick a site to see its operator, regulator, licence, currency and who may join; the last entry covers Ontario.

The directory (dated 1 September 2026) lists the sites regulated for play in Ontario. Stake is not listed there, and its terms list Ontario as a place where it cannot be used.
The operator is the company you contract with, and the regulator is the body that licensed it. Colombia and Peru follow the same pattern: Stake Colombia SAS runs stake.com.co under a Coljuegos concession contract, and Stake Peru SAC runs stake.pe under MINCETUR authorisations. The stake.com terms close both countries, as they close Brazil, Denmark, Mexico and the US.
Real Sister Sites Under the Same Licence
No other brand is published under Stake's licence. Medium Rare N.V. holds Curaçao Gaming Authority licence OGL/2024/1451/0918, and the certificate names one site: stake.com.
- Licence holder
- Medium Rare N.V.
- Licence number
- OGL/2024/1451/0918
- Granted
- 9 June 2025
- Status
- Active (read 9 October 2026)
- Site on the certificate
- stake.com
- Other brands published
- None
The other Stake-branded sites are not sister sites in the licence sense. Stake.us belongs to Sweepsteaks Limited, stake.mx to Unocapali La Paz Operadora, stake.bet.br to Stake Brazil Ltda. and stake.dk to Stake Denmark A/S, each with its own regulator or, for stake.us, none published. Only the domain on the certificate is covered by the Curaçao licence.
Who Owns Stake
Stake.com is owned and operated by Medium Rare N.V., a Curaçao company with its head office at Seru Loraweg 17 B (terms, clause 1.1). Some payment processing may be handled by two wholly owned Cyprus subsidiaries, Medium Rare Limited and MRS Tech Ltd, which the footer calls payment agent companies.
Stake launched in 2017. Wikipedia names Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani as co-founders, citing Australian press, and the Easygo group they started in 2016 lists Stake among its products. The pages used here publish no shareholder list, so this guide stops there. The About page explains how facts like these are sourced and dated.
Alternatives Inside Stake.com
For a player in Canada, the most practical alternatives sit inside one stake.com account. The numbers show the scale (October 2026); the cards show the areas.
- 6,000+casino games
- 260+software publishers
- 31Stake Originals
- 150+live casino titles
Slots
The biggest area, from Hacksaw, Pragmatic Play, Nolimit City and more.
Originals
In-house Mines, Dice, Plinko and Limbo, all provably fair.
Live casino
Dealer tables from Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live and Animo Studios.
Burst games
Short rounds such as Plinko+ and Aviamasters, with Fun Play to try first.
Poker
Stake Poker and Poker Live from Evolution.
Sportsbook
Soccer, basketball, tennis and esports. Sports count three times less toward VIP progress.
If a high-variance book slot such as Legacy of Dead is not your style, Originals and live tables are the quickest change of pace. Read the withdrawal limits before a bigger deposit: every deposit must be wagered once before it can be withdrawn.
Walk-Through: Choosing and Opening the Right Stake Site
- 1 Check where you are. In Canada outside Ontario, stake.com is your Stake site. In Ontario, Stake is not available under clause 14.3, and the iGaming Ontario directory lists the sites regulated there.
- 2 Check your age. Stake asks for 18 or your local age of majority, whichever is higher.
- 3 Register on stake.com. Verify your email, then enter the partner offer code within 24 hours under Settings > Offers for instant Bronze-level rakeback, 3.5% of the house edge.
- 4 Switch on Canadian dollars. Enable local currency in Wallet, then choose Interac, Visa or Mastercard (C$5-C$3,000 per transaction) or crypto.
- 5 Set limits, then pick an area. Deposit, loss and wager limits come first. After that choose slots, Originals, live tables, poker or sports.
When Stake Is Not the Right Fit
No single site suits everyone. This quick test shows whether stake.com matches what you want.
Stake.com suits you if
- You live in Canada outside Ontario and are of age.
- You want a CAD wallet with Interac or cards, or crypto.
- You like casino, Originals and sports in one account.
- You prefer ongoing rakeback to a headline bonus.
Look elsewhere if
- You live in Ontario, where Stake's terms close the province.
- You want a published C$ welcome bonus: Stake publishes none.
- You want to speak to someone by voice: support is live chat and email.
- You live in the US and want real-money play: stake.us uses Gold Coins.
Whatever you choose, set deposit and loss limits first. If play stops being fun, Gambling Therapy and the Responsible Gambling Council offer help.
Stake Alternatives: FAQ
Short answers on the other Stake sites, who can use them and what is inside stake.com.
What are the alternatives to Stake?
Here an alternative means another Stake site or another product inside stake.com. National Stake sites exist for the US, Mexico, Brazil, Denmark, Colombia and Peru, each for residents of that country. For Canada outside Ontario, the alternatives are slots, Stake Originals, live casino, poker and the sportsbook inside stake.com.
Can I use stake.us, stake.mx or stake.dk from Canada?
No. Each national site is only for residents of its own country, and a Canadian account belongs on stake.com. Stake.us admits the continental United States and Hawaii, stake.mx people physically in Mexico, and stake.dk residents of Denmark.
Is there a Stake alternative for Ontario?
No. Clause 14.3 of the stake.com terms lists Ontario among the prohibited jurisdictions, so players located in Ontario cannot use Stake, and the national sites are for residents of other countries. The iGaming Ontario directory lists the sites regulated for play in the province.
Does Medium Rare N.V. run other brands under the same licence?
No other brand is published under licence OGL/2024/1451/0918. The Curaçao Gaming Authority certificate names stake.com only, and the other Stake-branded sites are run by other companies.
Is stake.us the same as stake.com?
No. Stake.us is run by Sweepsteaks Limited, a Cyprus company, and is a sweepstakes site for adults aged 21 or older in the continental US and Hawaii. Its terms say it does not offer real-money gambling: Gold Coins have no cash value and Stake Cash is redeemed for prizes.
Is the welcome offer the same on every Stake site?
No. On stake.com it is instant Bronze-level rakeback of 3.5% of the house edge, unlocked with a partner offer code entered within 24 hours. The stake.mx promotions page lists no welcome deposit bonus, and none was found on stake.bet.br.
Where on stake.com should I go if I do not like slots?
Try Stake Originals, such as Mines, Dice, Plinko and Limbo, or the live casino with Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live and Animo Studios tables. The sportsbook covers soccer, basketball, tennis and esports. All of them use one stake.com account.
