This is an honest review (heavily based on my personal experience) of stake.com. We usually come across various threads in this forum about scam accusations, but rarely do we see someone posting a review without any inclination.
I have been playing at stake.com for quite some time. Earlier, I used to play slots (Lost a lot
) but recently I changed my focus to poker. I have never had any issues with stake regarding cash outs (always instant), and I am about to reach Platinum 1, so my cash outs are not too small (maybe for stake
). I never had to reach out to customer support except when I have to claim my rank-up bonuses
.
All my monthly and weekly bonuses arrive at the exact time (though recently I am getting less and less) without delay, and I usually get 2-3 emails containing free raw cash, which is such a delight. I have not gotten any spam emails from them till now (other platforms just bombard you with emails).
Keep in mind I never availed any deposit bonus ever and played with my own money. This shows that you do not have to come up with 300-400% deposit bonuses to attract serious players.
There are areas where I'd like to see improvement, such as a more secure environment for poker players, as it is so easy to collude and cheat right now. It is also not good that they are not offering rake-back (specifically for poker players like other platforms).
