Terms worth knowing before you deposit
What the terms add to the table above.

Show the clause →
T&C, clause 4.8: Stake reserves the right, at any time, to ask for any KYC documentation it deems necessary to determine the identity and location of a Player. Stake reserves the right to restrict the Service, payment or withdrawal until identity is sufficiently determined, or for any other reason in Stake’s sole discretion.
Withdrawal Threshold KYC.

A bonus rollover defines the multiplier in which the sum of your deposit and bonus will need to be turned over before you are able to make a withdrawal. The majority of our games have between a 3.5% to 4.5% house edge, so we’ve set the wager requirement at a 4% edge. (Deposit Bonus Requirements)
