Stake and 1xBet are often shortlisted together. Below we compare them on what decides whether a casino is worth your deposit: safety, bonus terms, payments, games and what players report.
Safety and licensing: Stake vs 1xBet
Stake is the safer pick on paper, with a CasinoGuru Safety Index of 7.9/10 against 7.4/10 for 1xBet.
Stake is licensed by Cura莽ao Gaming Authority, while 1xBet holds a license from Cura莽ao Gaming Authority. Both are offshore-style licenses, so the casino's own track record matters more than the license itself.
CasinoGuru lists 8 player complaints against Stake and 50 against 1xBet; bigger casinos naturally collect more, so read the number together with the Safety Index.
Both casinos' terms are rated fair.
Bonuses and wagering
Stake offers new players 200% up to 1000 USD. 1xBet offers up to 1950 EUR + 150 Free Spins.
We have wagering terms only for 1xBet (35x). Check the bonus terms at Stake before you claim it.
Payments and payout speed
Stake lists 19 deposit methods (11 of them crypto) and 1xBet lists 34 (15 crypto). 13 methods work at both. They include Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin.
Only Stake takes MoonPay, Interac, AstroPay Card and Maestro. Only 1xBet takes Perfect Money, Jeton, SticPay and Skrill. If you already use one of these, that alone may decide it.
Stake pays crypto and e-wallet withdrawals faster (0-1 hours) than 1xBet (0-24 hours). Card and bank withdrawals take longer at both.
Withdrawal methods and limits
Stake lists 15 withdrawal methods and 28 currencies. Its stated withdrawal limit is No Limits.
1xBet lists 33 withdrawal methods and 37 currencies. Its stated withdrawal limit is No Limits.
Games and customer support
Stake carries games from 74 providers and 1xBet from 16. Stake has the noticeably bigger library.
Stake offers 24/7 live chat; we could not confirm round-the-clock chat at 1xBet.
Ownership and track record
Stake is run by Medium Rare N.V. and has been operating since 2017. 1xBet is run by Caecus N.V. and has been operating since 2007. 1xBet has the longer track record, which usually means more complaints handled and more published payout history to judge by.
Responsible gambling tools
Stake offers 6 of the 10 responsible gambling tools we check (deposit limit, wager limit, loss limit, self-exclusion, cool-off, self-assessment test). 1xBet offers 2 of the 10 responsible gambling tools we check (self-exclusion, self-assessment test).
Deposit limits and self-exclusion are the two tools worth having before you play anywhere.
What players say
On Trustpilot Stake scores 3.9/5 (12,081 reviews) and 1xBet 2/5 (8,600 reviews). Casino reviews skew negative because unhappy players post more, so this counts for only 15% of our CasiScore rating.
Stake or 1xBet: which should you choose?
Overall, Stake is the stronger casino on our data (4.1/5 against 2.9/5). Choose Stake if you want the higher overall rating, a higher safety score and better player reviews. Choose 1xBet if you want more ways to deposit and more crypto options. Whichever you pick, set a deposit limit before you play.
Before you sign up at either casino
- Check that Stake and 1xBet accept players from your country before you register.
- Read the wagering and maximum bet rules of the bonus you plan to claim.
- Make sure your preferred withdrawal method is available, not just the deposit method.
- Have your ID documents ready; both casinos can ask for verification before the first withdrawal.
- Set a deposit limit in your account settings before you start playing.
