Stake.com scores 98 out of 100 on the TrustFacts Trust Gauge, tested 28 September 2026. Medium Rare N.V. runs it under Curaçao licence OGL/2024/1451/0918 and holds seven licences in total. As of October 2026, Stake also appears on Alberta’s registered-sites list through ab.stake.ca, which TrustFacts has not scored.
Is Stake in Alberta’s regulated market?
Yes. As of 15 October 2026, the Alberta iGaming Corporation’s registered-sites list includes Stake, and its link goes to ab.stake.ca. The desk’s earlier checks, through 12 October, did not find Stake on that list.
AGLC’s registrant export lists Stake Canada Ltd. as an iGaming operator, with the registration expiring 24 September 2027.
ab.stake.ca is a separate site from stake.com. It has no Trust Gauge yet. The 98 on this page is for stake.com (Medium Rare N.V.).
| Checkpoint | Status on 16 October 2026 | Earlier checks |
|---|---|---|
| AGLC operator entry | Stake Canada Ltd., iGaming, iGaming - Operator, expiry 24 September 2027. No parent or brand named. | Same entry on 24 September, 3 October and 12 October 2026. |
| AiGC registered site | Listed. AiGC’s Stake card links to ab.stake.ca. | Not found on 24 September, 3 October or 12 October 2026. |
| ab.stake.ca | The Alberta site on AiGC’s list. Not scored by TrustFacts. | A coming-soon page on 24 September and 3 October 2026. |
| stake.com | Rest-of-Canada / Curaçao file. Trust Gauge 98. Medium Rare N.V. | Same file. The 98 is for stake.com, not ab.stake.ca. |
| Ontario | Not on iGO. | Kris Abbott, Stake Canada general manager, told Canadian Gaming Business the Ontario file is submitted, with no timeline. |
For the full story, read Is Stake legal in Alberta?. For Alberta options, see the Alberta desk: AGLC casinos, 18+. If you need support, the Alberta Addiction Helpline is 1-866-332-2322 (Recovery Alberta / Alberta Health Services). GameSense Alberta is at gamesenseab.ca.
This desk file is dated 2026-09-28, and the scoring URL is https://stake.com/. The licensee holds 7 licences: Curaçao, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Denmark, and Italy. Stake isn’t an iGO site. Since October 2026, Stake appears on AiGC’s registered-sites list through ab.stake.ca, a separate site this file does not score. Its own terms name Ontario as a prohibited jurisdiction. Don’t mix it up with Stake.us.
That 98 comes from earned signals 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29; signals 8 and 30 score zero. The Stake Smart page names the National Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-GAMBLER).
The signal quotes come straight from Stake’s terms, blog, Stake Smart, and help.stake.com, fetched 2026-09-28. The USDT minimum withdrawal is 2.50, and there’s no maximum. Crypto deposits under $0.01 aren’t processed automatically. Play is 18+ where Stake accepts it.
Stake scores 98 out of 100 on the TrustFacts Trust Gauge (High trust), which clears the 60 rail. Rank is never sold. Read the full file, confirm the licence on the regulator register, then decide. Some visit links may be affiliate.
This Stake file is a rest-of-Canada geography desk, not an Ontario or Alberta licence. A hop at 60+ is not legal cover in Ontario or Alberta. Do not VPN.
Medium Rare N.V., 7 licences. Rest-of-Canada file for stake.com. Not an iGO site. Stake is on AiGC’s list through ab.stake.ca (not scored). Official Gauge 98, licensing 15.
Who it is for
Players using https://stake.com/ outside its prohibited jurisdictions. Medium Rare N.V. runs the site under Curaçao licence OGL/2024/1451/0918. It’s on the rest-of-Canada geography desk only.
The scoring URL on this census is https://stake.com/.
Who should skip it
Stake’s own terms list Ontario, the UK and the United States among its prohibited jurisdictions. Alberta has its own Stake site, ab.stake.ca, on AiGC’s list, which this file does not score. Stake.us is a US sweepstakes site from Sweepsteaks Limited, scored 73 on the US desk.
Do not use a VPN to join a market this file does not cover. Do not mix sister Gauges. A high Gauge is not a licence.
Verdict
Stake earns a Trust Gauge of 98 from 28 signals: licensing 15, payments 15, player safety 15, fairness 15, transparency 13, responsible gambling 15, and complaints 10. The scoring URL is https://stake.com/. With 7 licences, licensing gets the full 15 (one scores 11, two score 13, three or more score 15). The 98 is for stake.com. ab.stake.ca has not been scored.

Compliance notes
Age, licence, and advertising rules for this file. TrustFacts is not a regulator and cannot recover funds. Full set on Compliance.
TrustFacts is not a casino18+ / 19+ / 21+ by market
TrustFacts publishes independent Trust Gauge scores. We do not operate games, hold player funds, issue licences, or take bets.
- A review is not a recommendation to gamble and is not personal financial advice.
- Confirm the live regulator register and the operator’s current T&Cs on the URL you join. Pages here can lag a licence change.
- VPN or fake-location tools to enter a licensed market are usually a terms breach and can freeze funds.
- The Gauge is not for sale. Rank order is score-first.
- If play is no longer fun, stop. Help lines are listed per market below.
- International: Local emergency services if you are in crisis. This site is not clinical advice.
Affiliate / advertising disclosureApplies to Visit site hops
Some Visit site buttons may be affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you sign up. That money does not set the Gauge.
- Hops attach at Trust Gauge 60+ when a hop URL exists. Below 60, no hop.
- Tracked hops use rel="sponsored". Untracked official URLs are placeholders until a tracker is pasted.
- Crown sites (PlayOLG, PlayNow, Espacejeux, PlayAlberta) often have no affiliate programme — the button still goes to the official URL.
- Welcome-offer copy on this site is a pointer. The operator’s live T&Cs win.
- Brands below 60 stay in the index without a hop. Sweepstakes coins are not a real-money cashier. An ROC hop is not iGO or AGLC.
Crypto / no-upfront-KYC casinosNot a licensed-market substitute
Fast on-chain payouts are not a regulator. Most crypto brands here are Curaçao-class and are not a substitute for an iGO, UKGC, or US-state licence.
- Sign-up without ID does not mean withdraw without ID. KYC usually appears at cashout.
- Visit hops may attach at Trust Gauge 60+. Below 60, no hop. Crypto payout speed is not a licence and is not legal in Ontario or Alberta.
- Licence claims on a footer image are not earned until they resolve on a public register.
- Using these sites from Ontario, Alberta, Great Britain, or a US iGaming state typically breaches both local law and the operator’s geo rules.
- If you are in a licensed market: Use that market’s help line (ConnexOntario, GameSense, BeGambleAware, 1-800-GAMBLER) — not the casino’s chat.
Rest of Canada — no private iGaming market18+ / 19+ by province
ROC is everything outside Ontario iGO, Alberta AGLC, BCLC PlayNow, and Loto-Québec. Visit hops may attach at Trust Gauge 60+. A hop here is not a provincial licence.
- Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Atlantic provinces, and the territories do not have a private iGaming market like Ontario or Alberta.
- The unit is the scoring URL, not the logo. An iGO or AGLC URL stays off this desk even if the same brand keeps a leftover-province .com.
- A Curaçao or Kahnawake footer is not a provincial licence. Do not treat an ROC brand as legal in Ontario or Alberta.
- Visit site may attach at Gauge 60+. Below 60, no hop. That button is not iGO, not AGLC, and not a licensed-market substitute.
- If you live in a monopoly province (B.C., Quebec), the crown site is the legal cashier — not this list.
- If play is no longer fun: Use the help line for the province you are in (ConnexOntario, GameSense, Jeu : aide et référence).
