Stake.mx is the Mexican-dedicated online gambling platform operated by the global Stake brand, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency-based casinos. Launched officially in Mexico in April 2026, Stake.mx brings the company’s full suite of sportsbook and casino products to the Mexican market under a permit from SEGOB (Mexico’s Secretariat of the Interior). The entry is part of Stake’s aggressive global expansion into regulated jurisdictions, timed to capitalise on the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The platform is offered via the domain stake.mx and allows deposits and withdrawals in Mexican pesos, while retaining the crypto-friendly backbone that defined the original Stake.com. The underlying company, Stake, was founded in 2017 in Curaçao by Australian entrepreneurs Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani, who first met as gamers and built Easygo, a casino game development studio, the year prior. Stake.com quickly grew into a leading crypto casino, later expanding into fiat markets via partnerships and local licenses. In Mexico, Stake operates as an agent under Uno Capali’s licence, reflecting a structured approach to regional compliance. The Mexican iGaming market was valued at approximately $970 million in 2026, with demand growing over 26% year‑on‑year, making it a strategic focus. Stake.mx aims to capture this momentum by offering a localised experience—including Mexican peso transactions, local payment methods, and customer support in Spanish—while leveraging the brand’s global reputation, extensive game library, and sportsbook coverage.

Detailed Review

History & Founding

Stake was founded in 2017 in Curaçao by Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani. The pair had previously established Easygo in 2016, a company that built casino games. Stake began as a crypto‑only online casino and quickly became a dominant force in the unregulated and semi‑regulated iGaming space. In 2021 it launched in the UK via a white‑label partnership, and from 2023 onward accelerated its push into regulated markets, acquiring Betfair Colombia (2023), Idealbet in Italy (2024), and Mocinoplay in Denmark (2025), and securing licenses in Peru, Brazil, Greenland, and Mexico. Stake.mx was announced in April 2026 and went live in May 2026.

Headquarters & Legal Structure

Stake’s global headquarters is in Willemstad, Curaçao, where it is operated by Medium Rare N.V., a company incorporated under Curaçao law. For Mexico, Stake operates under a SEGOB permit as an agent under the licence of Uno Capali. No separate physical headquarters for Stake.mx has been publicly stated; all official communications refer to the global Curaçao base.
