Tools for slot players

Every slot and original shows how many people are playing it on Stake right now. There’s a separate list of slots with enhanced RTP, and each slot has its own RTP stats, both Stake-wide and for your own play, over a period you choose. It’s a favourite with players who like to track how a game has been paying.

The originals

Most of the classics pay 99% RTP: mines, dice, limbo, plinko, keno, crash, hilo, wheel, prime dice and video poker. Blackjack pays 99.43%. Most of the other originals pay 98%, and a few pay a little less, such as Blue Samurai at 96.7%. The full list is in the Originals RTP table below.

Poker

Cash games run from $0.01/$0.02 up to $2.50/$5 blinds, with cash drops at the tables, and there are jackpots, including a Bad Beat Jackpot. The big weekly event is The Stake Showdown on Sundays: a $1,000 buy-in with $200,000 guaranteed.

Promotions and community

Beyond the daily race and weekly raffle, Stake runs a steady stream of promotions for slots, sports and poker. It also has its own blog and an active community forum, a nice change if you prefer forums to Discord servers.

At a glance

Withdrawals

~10 minTypical time, based on the author's experience.
What “typical” means

This is the typical time for a normal crypto withdrawal: no extra verification needed, ordinary play (for example slots only, no bonus abuse or suspicious activity) and amounts that aren't unusually large. First withdrawals, large amounts or anything that triggers KYC or a manual review can take longer.

KYC reality

KYC

No ID for normal play

In normal play you're unlikely to be asked for ID. The terms allow a check in rare cases, such as very large withdrawals or unusual activity.

Stake can request verification at any time (T&C 4.8, 8.12).

VPN policy

Prohibited in terms

VPN use is prohibited (T&C 14.4).
