Founded 2017
Parent Easygo / Medium Rare N.V.
Privately held by founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani through Easygo. Operating entity Medium Rare N.V. is Curaçao-registered (no. 145353). Stake.us is a separate sweepstakes entity (Sweepsteaks Limited, Cyprus), not the same company as Stake.com.
Craven and Tehrani met as teenagers on RuneScape, built Primedice in 2013 and Easygo in 2016, then launched Stake in 2017 as a crypto-first casino and sportsbook. The business is widely reported as bootstrapped with no outside VC. High-profile sponsorships have included UFC and the Stake F1 Team (Sauber). In 2025 Stake gave up its UK gambling licence after advertising controversy.
