Stake Sign Up: Registration and Email Verification Steps

Stake sign-up in four steps

Register sits next to Sign In in the header of stake.com. The account is free to open and takes four steps, the last of them an e-mail check.

1. Open stake.com and select Register.
2. Enter an e-mail address and the personal details the form asks for.
3. Submit the form to create the account.
4. Select Verify Account and confirm the e-mail address with the code.

What the form collects

The application is made personally and covers a set of personal information. Every detail must be true, current and correct.

• e-mail address;
• full name;
• date of birth;
• home address;
• the country where the player is located.

Incomplete or outdated details let the operator suspend the registration and treat later deposits as invalid, with any winnings from them void. A suspended account is sorted out through support@stake.com.

Email verification with a code

A confirmed e-mail address unlocks deposits and withdrawals. The check runs on a code that lands in the inbox right after registration.

1. After registration, select Verify Account.
2. In the Account Setup window, open the e-mail confirmation step.
3. Check the inbox for the verification code.
4. Enter the code in the Email Code field and select Submit.

Confirming the e-mail later

The step can wait. Go to Settings, select Account, then Email, and select Confirm Email to continue.

Verification codes come from noreply@stake.com. Check the sender before opening any message that asks for a code.

Sign-up through a social account

Five outside accounts can open a profile and sign in to it: Google, Facebook, Line, Twitch and Kick. The provider holds the password, so the casino form creates none.

What a new account opens

One profile covers every product on the platform. The same login works in a desktop browser, a phone browser and the web app.

• the casino lobby with slots, live tables and 31 Stake Originals;
• the sportsbook with pre-match and live markets, cricket included;
• Stake Poker with Hold'em and Omaha tables;
• a wallet for INR and 20+ cryptocurrencies, with balances shown in INR;
• the VIP ladder from Bronze at $10k wagered up to Obsidian;
• Stake Smart tools: loss, wager and deposit limits and Break in Play;
• the interface in English or Hindi.

Registration on a phone

The phone form is the same one as on desktop. It opens in Safari, Chrome or any other mobile browser, or inside the web app.

1. Open stake.com in the phone browser or open the installed app.
2. Tap Register.
3. Fill in the e-mail address and personal details.
4. Enter the code from the e-mail in the Email Code field.

An account opened on the phone works on a computer straight away, and the other way round. App install steps for Android and iPhone sit under web app install.

Identity checks after sign-up

The operator can ask for KYC documents at any time to confirm who the player is and where they live. Play, payments or withdrawals can be restricted until identity is sufficiently determined.

• identity: passport, driving licence, Voter's EPIC, PAN or Aadhaar;
• address: a bill, statement or official letter issued within six months;
• source of income: payslips, statements or similar records;
• a selfie holding the ID, as JPG or PNG.

Names and dates typed at sign-up should match the documents. Upload rules are listed under KYC requirements.

Registration rules: age, location, one account

The minimum age is 18 or the age of majority under the laws that apply to the player, whichever is higher. Proof of age can be requested at any time, and the account can be suspended until it arrives.

Who is turned away

Registration is refused to people under that age, to residents of places where gambling is illegal or not permitted, and to anyone who gives misleading information or signs up through third parties. The operator can also refuse any application at its discretion.

One account per person

Only one account per player is allowed, under any name. A second account, or play through someone else's, lets the operator close all of them, keep the money in them and ban the player.

• a player who finds a second registered account must report it at once;
• accounts cannot be sold, transferred or bought;
• login details stay private and are never shared.

Each player is responsible for making sure registration is lawful where they live. In India the PROG Act, 2025 bans online money games; the details are under Indian law on online money games.

Sign-up rewards: how the 24-hour link works

The sign-up reward runs on a referrer's code entered within 24 hours of opening the account. A valid entry adds 3.5% rakeback; once 24 hours pass, the code can no longer be entered.

Casino rakeback equals 3.5% of the house edge on each bet. Its mechanics and the VIP ranks are explained under rakeback and reload.

Sign-up and login problems

Most sign-up problems trace back to an unconfirmed e-mail, details that differ from the ID, or a second account. Each one has a direct fix.

A blank or frozen form usually clears after the browser cache and cookies are wiped. Sign-in steps, 2FA and password reset are covered under sign-in and 2FA help.

Closing an account instead of deleting it

Accounts cannot be deleted, only closed: legal and compliance rules require some data to be kept. A closed account becomes inaccessible right away.

1. Go to Responsible Gambling > Account Closure.
2. Choose a reason.
3. Confirm the closure.

The same request can go to accountclosure@stake.com from the registered e-mail. Reopening needs a 24-hour cooling-off period and a message to the same address.

Help with gambling problems is free on Tele-MANAS 14416, around the clock. Stake's limits and self-exclusion tools cover breaks and closures, and a separate page explains how Indian law treats online gaming.
