Step-by-Step Guide

1

Create your Stake.com account

Visit https://stake.com and register with your email address. No ID documents are needed at this stage.

2

Start playing with crypto

Deposit cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE and 5 more) and start playing without completing KYC verification.

3

Know when KYC might be needed

Stake.com may request verification for large withdrawals, suspicious activity, or if required by their Curaçao license terms.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Enjoy Stake.com's no-KYC policy for standard crypto gambling, but be prepared that large withdrawals may trigger verification requests.
  • Ensure uploaded documents are clear, well-lit, and show all four corners.
  • Use the same name across all submitted documents to avoid delays.
  • If verification takes longer than expected, contact Stake.com's support team.
  • A clear photo of both sides of your Kenyan national ID card is the fastest way to verify your account. Ensure the hologram and ID number are clearly visible.
  • For proof of address, download your M-Pesa statement from the mySafaricom app — it's accepted at most casinos and is easier to obtain than a utility bill.
