How to Get Started on Stake

From sign-up to your first bet in about ten minutes.

Before you sign up

  • You must be 18+ (or the legal age where you live).
  • Make sure Stake is available in your country — it's restricted in several, including the US and UK.
  • Decide on a budget you can afford to lose, and stick to it.

Create your account

  1. Click Join Stake on this page to open Stake's registration form.
  2. Enter your details — email, username, password and date of birth.
  3. Enter code THEVAULT in the “Code (optional)” field — our link fills it in automatically.
  4. Confirm your email using the link Stake sends you.
  5. Complete verification — fill in personal details, and upload ID if requested.

Secure your account

Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) in Settings → Security. Use a unique password and never share your login.

Make your first deposit

  1. Open Wallet → Deposit and pick a currency.
  2. Copy the deposit address (and memo/tag if shown) or scan the QR code.
  3. Send from your exchange or wallet on the matching network.
  4. Wait for confirmations — your balance updates automatically.
Sending a coin on the wrong network can lose your funds permanently. Double-check before sending. More in our crypto guide.

Claim your rewards

From day one you can enter the $100,000 Daily Race and $75,000 Weekly Raffle. Reach Bronze VIP ($10,000 wagered) to unlock the weekly bonus, monthly bonus and rakeback — see all Stake bonuses. Set deposit limits under Responsible Gambling before you start playing.
