What Medium Rare does

Medium Rare N.V. is a Curaçao-licensed online gaming operator founded in November 2017, best known for operating Stake.com, a cryptocurrency-only online casino and integrated sportsbook. The platform combines thousands of third-party casino titles with proprietary in-house "Stake Originals" (Crash, Plinko, Mines, Dice) and an integrated sportsbook covering major global leagues and esports. Stake.com accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, and USDT, using blockchain-based settlement for instant deposits and withdrawals and applying cryptographic "provably fair" verification to game outcomes. Core technical capabilities include multi-currency wallet integration, provably fair RNG, advanced SSL encryption, and a scalable server architecture supporting global traffic.

The company generates revenue through three primary streams: (i) the casino house edge across slots, table games, live dealer offerings, and Stake Originals; (ii) odds margins on sportsbook markets including pre-match and in-play betting; and (iii) a VIP and high-roller program offering personalized account management, higher withdrawal limits, and promotional bonuses up to $50,000. Customer acquisition is driven by digital channels (web and mobile self-serve), affiliate programs, social media, and high-profile sports sponsorships including the title partnership with Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber (2024 and 2025 seasons), official UFC betting partner status, and Everton F.C. sponsorship, alongside a flagship global brand-ambassador relationship with Drake, whose live-streamed gambling sessions on Kick drive significant top-of-funnel awareness. The company is headquartered in Curaçao, with payment processing in Cyprus (Medium Rare Limited) and additional offices in Serbia and Australia.

Primary customer segments are cryptocurrency-native players who prioritize fast, private transactions; high-roller VIPs seeking elevated limits and bespoke service; mainstream sports bettors; and privacy-focused users in jurisdictions with restricted access to fiat-based online gambling. Medium Rare N.V. reports millions of players globally and self-describes Stake.com as the world's leading crypto betting brand. In February 2025 the UK Gambling Commission announced an investigation into Stake.com's social media advertising, leading to the company's exit from the UK market via its white-label partner TGP Europe Limited in March 2025.
