About Stakewise

Stakewise say they are “committed to offering customers an innovative and high-quality service, in a safe and secure online environment”.  Although they are first and foremost a sportsbook, they also have an impressive casino which could easily stand on its own.

It’s not just the licence that’s brand new.  Rocbrook Limited (the licence holder) is also pretty new – it was incorporated in December 2025.  Stakewise has medium level player funds protection so the lack of history is nothing to worry about.

Getting Started at Stakewise

To register at Stakewise, you need to fill in a form which I found to be particularly user friendly.

Start by entering your email address in the space on the page with the casino offer.  The next screen is for the rest of your personal details – name, address, mobile number and date of birth.  Stakewise is an exclusively UK facing site, so you’ll find that the country of residence is prefilled as United Kingdom and the phone country code is prefilled as +44. You also need to choose a password and tick the box to confirm that you’ve read and agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

On the next screen you choose your marketing preferences – sports offers and/or casino offers, by email and/or SMS.  You can also opt into receiving “news and updates” by email only.

The final step to get your account up and running is to verify both your email address and phone number using the codes they send you.  Assuming they can verify your identity on the spot as well, you’ll receive an email confirming your account is ready, with a link to the cashier so you can make your first deposit.  You’ll be prompted to set deposit limits before you do, but this not mandatory.

Regarding the casino welcome offer, be aware that the playthrough of your deposit has to be done on the specified games only; there are 20 games included and you can find the full list on the promotion page and in a section in the lobby called “Casino Welcome Offer”.

Sports Betting at Stakewise

The sportsbook at Stakewise majors on horse racing and football. Each of these have their own lobby area ; in the horse racing area you can filter on region (UK and Ireland vs International) and venue to view races for today, tomorow and the next day and in the football area you can filter on region to view fixtures that are live, starting soon, later today or tomorrow. Each fixture has a full range of bets.

Return to the home page and you’ll see a host of other sports – everything from Gaelic Football to Volleyball. At the top of the sports menu, Quick Links shows the most popular fixtures to make it easy to place your bets; for example, at the time of writing the UEFA Super Cup match was the next day.

The In Play area covers football, tennis, cricket, Formula 1, table tennis, (other) motosport, handball, ice hockey and volleyball.

Bet settings are in your account area.  You can choose whether to have Quick Bet enabled and whether to auto accept price changes, and you can also toggle between decimal and fractional odds.

Slots & Games at Stakewise

Stakewise currently has games from six different providers – Big Time Gaming, Evolution, NetEnt, Nolimit City, Pragmatic Play and Red Tiger. This may not sound like a lot by today’s standards, but there’s hundreds of games to choose from including all time classics like Wolf Gold, Tombstone RIP, Dragon’s Luck, Twin Spin, Gonzo’s Quest and so on.

Unusually for an independent casino, there are some jackpot slots. However, they are not big progressive jackpots – most have fixed jackpots in three or four figures.  Confusingly, Red Tiger games that you would expect to be daily jackpot games are present in non jackpot versions.

Slot game Return to Player is decent and on a par with many big operators.

There are several ways to find games to play.  The casino lobby has lots of different tabs and these are all replicated as game carousels on the casino home page.  There’s sections for slot game mechanics (Megaways, Cluster Pays, Scatter Pays) as well as the usual top games, new games, Drops & Wins etc, and there’s also several sections for various non slot games which we’ll come on to in a bit. Big Bass games also have their own section with more than 30 titles.

You can filter the games in the section you’re currently in by provider; if you want to see all of the games by one provider just use the filter while in the All Games lobby area.

The search box is prominent and easy to use, but only searches on game names (not providers) and only returns exact matches so be careful about typos.

If you’d like to explore games that aren’t slots, Stakewise makes it easy. The Dynasty Lounge lobby area has live blackjack, baccarat and roulette and there’s separate sections for each of these types of game with even more tables. Poker, Dice and Asian Games also all have their own sections.  If you’re after something a bit less traditional, there’s an area just for crash games, and another for live casino game shows including Crazy Time, Balloon Race, Mega Ball and The Bingo Spot.  Finally there is the Arcade section which has Plinko and various tap cards.

Other Things To Consider

Stakewise has a promotions page which can be hard to locate at first; it’s linked from the home page which is where the sportsbook is, and not from the casino.  You can view just sports promos, just casino promos or all promos. There’s a lot of regular sports promos including Bet Builder and Acca boosts.  Casino players are not forgotten though – there’s a regular stake and get free spins offer.

As is often the case with independent casinos, there’s no real choice of deposit method; you need to fund from your bank account either via a transfer or via a debit card.

Support is delivered by live chat (which is easy to find on the site) or via email, and there’s also a helpful FAQ.

It’s easy to use the Stakewise website on a mobile phone but they also have Apple and Android mobile apps.

Final Thoughts

Stakewise is a nicely designed independent UK facing site that will appeal to sports bettors and casino players alike. It’s got a great selection of games and the no wagering welcome offer is the icing on the cake.
