Stakes Casino

Stakes Casino is a long-time online casino brand. It was released in 2016 and is owned by a company called Mountberg BV. New players are being offered a bonus of 100% up to 500 + 100 free spins on Book of Dead on their first deposit.

Looks and feel of Stakes Casino

New online casinos are constantly popping up. Wherever you turn, you can be sure to find a few more brands here and there. You cannot even avoid some of these brands having similar looks and names. For example, I cannot tell you how many Las Vegas-inspired casinos I have seen over the years!

When I first saw the name of Stakes Casino on my list of pending casino reviews, I instantly thought of one particular similarly named Australian online casino… After checking, though, I realised that we are now talking about a completely different brand by Mountberg B.V… And Stakes is much older than the other casino I was thinking about!

Stakes Casino has a nice comic book-style look. On its homepage, you will see plenty of cool superhero characters. One of them even looks like it’s been inspired by Tali from the successful Mass Effect video game series…

Bonuses and rewards

“Be the guardian of your own bonus galaxy.” This is what Stakes Casino is telling its new customers. As you can guess, this is a precursor of good things to come as Stakes has plenty of daily bonuses and extras available for all of its loyal customers. Let us not get too far into these promotions, though, as there’s one even bigger bonus that we have to talk about. And that is the following Stakes Casino welcome offer:

1st deposit: 100% up to 500 + 100 free spins on Book of Dead

This truly is a superhero-sized online casino bonus if I’ve ever seen one… It also comes with a text that looks like a link and says “Bonus terms and conditions apply.” Sadly, this text is not a link, meaning that customers will have to look around themselves in order to find all the necessary bonus details…

Some might think that the Stakes Casino bonus terms cannot be good if you are supposed to go find them. Surprisingly, you will only need to wager your bonus and deposit 20 times, which is a phenomenal deal! To make things even better, there don’t seem to be any winning caps or other annoying bonus terms to hinder you. The only things you need to be wary of are some of the listed games that have been excluded from the promotion as well as the 5 euro maximum rule during your wagering. Also be sure to read the terms yourself to stay on the safe side!

The wagering requirement for your Book of Dead free spins is 40x.

Games Selection

Now that we know that the Stakes Casino welcome offer is a thing of beauty, it is time to turn our attention to what you’re actually here for.

The game portfolio of Stakes has 50+ game providers in it. This includes everything from NetEnt to Nolimit City, Swintt, Play’n GO, Quickspin, Push Gaming, Red Tiger, and my personal favourite Big Time Gaming. I was majorly impressed with all the amazing slots and other games that I saw. Even BTG had 35 games present, which could be the most that I have ever seen at any Big Time Gaming casino.

This review was released near Christmas 2022 and I also saw something called Christmas Bonanza as one of the new releases. I would sure like to test this BTG sequel one of these days!

The live casino section at Stakes Casino is also stacked. Tons of games exist here from Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, BetGames, and others. Overall, there are 130+ live-dealer games for you to play, ranging from blackjack and roulette to entertaining game show affairs.

Safety and security

Stakes Casino operates under a Curacao license. Over the years, I have seen many scam online casinos using this license. This is because Curacao licenses are very lenient to their holders and do not provide the type of maximum security that some European licenses might.

With all this being said, I am not sure how trustworthy Stakes Casino is. When searching some data online, I did see some people complaining about Stakes, though, so I’d be careful if I were you!

Banking options at Stakes Casino

Stakes Casino accepts most modern online casino payment options. Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, Skrill and even cryptocurrencies have all made it to its list.

Stakes Casino promises to process withdrawals in 48 hours after account verification. Account verification also takes up to 48 hours.

Support

Customer support at Stakes Casino is open 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. It only took a few moments for an agent to respond. Her name was Zoe and she was nice enough but really insisted on receiving account information before answering my questions. I thought this was foolish, given that players who have not yet registered will also want information.

My experience at Stakes Casino

Stakes Casino first came off as a good-looking online casino with lots to offer. The welcome bonus definitely seems fair although there are some questionable mentions of bonus abuse not being tolerated and player betting patterns and activity being constantly monitored. In a sense, it sounds like the casino could be looking for the slightest slip-up to warrant bonus cancellation and confiscation.

I might be jumping to conclusions here, but given that there have been some complaints lodged online against Stakes, perhaps I might not be that far off…

You are free to play at Stakes Casino at your own discretion. Just be careful if you do!
