Our take on Stake.us
In August 2026, Florida's Attorney General sued Stake and its payment processors in Hillsborough County, alleging illegal gambling and seeking an injunction and civil penalties. Stake.us itself is run by Sweepsteaks Limited of Cyprus, takes players 21 and over, and serves 28 jurisdictions. Stake Cash has to be played through 3x before it can be redeemed. Prizes go out in crypto or by bank transfer, and the bank option only opens after at least one successful card purchase. No cash minimum is published. A postcard request with a generated code brings 5 Stake Cash.
Pros
- 5 Stake Cash per postcard request
- Crypto redemptions
- Card or crypto for Gold Coin packages
- Live support and email 24/7
Cons
- Florida Attorney General lawsuit against Stake and its payment processors, alleging illegal gambling
- 3x playthrough on Stake Cash
- Bank payouts need a prior card purchase, and you must redeem in the currency type you bought with
- Operator reserves the right to charge processing fees
- Utah not on its restricted list despite a state ban
Best for
- Crypto users who buy and redeem in crypto
- Mail-in players
Skip it if
- You're under 21

Stake.us's own list still shows Utah as open, but this state restricts sweepstakes casinos by law or regulator action, so we treat it as unavailable.

Normalized within sweepstakes casinos (95 tracked), so read it as a relative position in this cohort, not an absolute ranking. The tick on each bar is the cohort average. Scores only: the providers’ underlying figures aren’t published. Data as of Sep 30, 2026 from Ahrefs + Semrush.
Operator & notes
Regulatory: 2026-08-19: Florida Attorney General sued Stake and its payment processors in Hillsborough County (13th Circuit), alleging illegal gambling; seeks injunction and civil penalties.
Florida: max redemption $5,000 a day (terms 13.3b). The terms require redeeming in the same currency type (fiat or crypto) used to purchase. Its July 2026 restricted list doesn't include Utah; we count Utah as closed under Utah's general gambling laws.
