At a glance

Our two highest-rated casinos — Stake at 4.7 out of 5 and LeoVegas at 4.6 — are close on score but far apart on almost everything else. LeoVegas is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission; Stake holds an offshore licence from the Curaçao Gaming Authority, which gives you less recourse in a dispute. LeoVegas has no crypto; Stake's cashier is built around cryptocurrency, and our review lists no card or e-wallet methods for it.

Where LeoVegas is stronger

Protection is LeoVegas's strongest category, backed by national regulation and ownership by MGM Resorts. It is mobile-first, with an iOS and Android app our review rates highly, exclusive LeoVegas-branded Evolution live tables and its own Originals. Its cashier covers everyday methods — cards, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, MuchBetter, Trustly, Apple Pay, Paysafecard and bank transfer — and its welcome terms are slightly lighter, at 35x–40x wagering against Stake's 40x on deposit plus bonus.

Where Stake is stronger

Banking is Stake's strongest category: more than 20 coins, with crypto withdrawals that typically arrive almost immediately once a request has been approved. Its library is much larger, with more than 6,000 games from over 260 providers against LeoVegas's 2,500+ from 60+, including 31 provably fair Stake Originals. A sportsbook and poker room share the same balance, and a busy promotions calendar and VIP programme with rakeback add ongoing value.

Who should choose which

Choose LeoVegas if you want strict regulation, a strong app and traditional payment methods. Check whether weekly withdrawal caps apply in your market, and expect offers and payment options to vary by country.

Choose Stake if you already use cryptocurrency and want the largest library and fast crypto payouts. Weigh the offshore licence carefully; its welcome bonus requires Level 2 identity verification, checks can come at any time, player reports on withdrawal checks are mixed, and the site is unavailable in many countries.
