Stake VPN - How to Play at Stake.com in the US / UK

As one of the top crypto casinos around, Stake is quickly gaining favour with gamblers the world over - especially amongst discerning players looking for an extraordinary line of Bitcoin games.

And one of the questions we find our readers asking, not infrequently, is whether or not they can play at Stake from the US or UK, or other countries that are technically restricted.

The answer, as we will soon flush out, is absolutely yes, and it is exceptionally easy and convenient. We've even found that a VPN isn't in fact needed in all such cases, but when it is, that's an excellent option that works well too.

How to Play at Stake with a VPN

If you decide to play at Stake with a VPN, for whatever reason, make sure like we said to select an IP from a country that works best for your goals, like which games you would like to play, when registering your account. This is important because while technically your country of residence can be changed with a little help from support, in general, the signup process will be linked to your IP, so it will make things easier in the long run.

Beyond that, there isn't really all that much to explain regarding the process.

How a VPN works at Stake

Generally speaking, the way in which a VPN works with Stake is the same as with any website. But to help you out, just follow these five simple steps:

1. Choose a VPN service
2. Download / turn on your VPN service
3. Select your country
4. Browse to the Stake website
5. And proceed from there

What Is a VPN and What Does It Do?

Before we get into the specifics of a Stake casino VPN, let's start with first things first. And that is, a brief explanation of what a VPN is and how it works.

Your IP, as you likely know, is based on your physical geographic location. So if you logged into or visited a website from your home in say Toronto, Canada, it would be clear based on your IP that is where you are physically located. For many reasons, this is a good thing, like automatically seeing localized content in English if you're using a multi-national online service.

With a VPN, however, you can set your IP to a different location, in a different country. So if you were overseas, for example, and used a VPN set to Canada in our above scenario, you would still get the geo-targeted service you are used to.

Or, as is the case with online gambling, while the vacationing scenario may be true in some instances, it is more likely that you would want to disguise your IP address so that the casino doesn't know your location. This can be in order to circumvent any restrictions either in terms of general access to the casino as a whole, certain games from its catalogue, or even payment limits set in specific countries.

Reasons You Might Need a VPN at Stake

As we said, there are a number of reasons why people use VPNs in general, and for online gambling more specifically, which we won't delve into any more here, though we definitely recommend reading up on VPN gambling as a whole.

Instead, here we want to focus more on why you might need a Stake casino VPN, since this is quickly becoming the number one crypto casino around.

So the reality is, that according to Stake's own terms & conditions, there is actually a reasonably long list of restricted countries - that includes the US, UK, and Australia, as well as many other countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

It also, by the way, outlines in this same T&C that any "attempt to manipulate your real location through the use of VPN, proxy, or similar services or through the provision of incorrect or misleading information about your place of residence, with the intent to circumvent geo-blocking or jurisdiction restrictions, constitutes a breach" of the Terms of Service.

So take everything you read henceforth with that knowledge in mind.

That being said, from our experience, Stake is particularly relaxed on that end and makes little effort to enforce it.

For example, a VPN is not necessarily needed to access Stake, even from restricted countries. At least some of them. However, in case you cannot access Stake from your location - whether it is the US, the UK, or anywhere else - and despite the T&C, you actually can use a VPN to enjoy the full Stake offering. So it may be possible that you need a VPN just to open the site.

Also, another similar tip, you may notice that not all Stake games are available to players in every location. If you are in Germany let's say, and want to bet on Play'n GO slots, for example, then a VPN is the way to go. Just make sure to choose an IP address in a country in which Stake provides Play'n GO slots if that is your goal.

The only other thing to pay attention to is the matter of banking. That is, when making a crypto deposit at Stake - whether it is in Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS or one of the other digital currencies accepted - you may want to interpose a private wallet, like Ledger, Exodus, or Electrum, when using a crypto wallet like Coinbase, so that the platform doesn't see what the coins are being used for, as an additional layer of geo-privacy.

Best VPN for Stake

Which VPN service should I choose for playing at Stake? If that is your question, we don't necessarily have an answer. There are a lot of excellent, highly reliable VPN services out there if you are willing to pay. And generally the fees aren't all that high.

For example, we have found that many Stake players really like NordVPN, which works great basically on any device whether using a MacOS, Windows, Android, Linux, or iOS operating system. In addition to the IP service, NordVPN also blocks malware, intrusive ads, and trackers with a free threat protection system built in, so that's great added value.

And all at a ridiculously low price of $11.99 per month if you want to pay on a month by month basis, or $3.29 a month if you are interested in a two-year commitment. Either way, like we said, it's pretty darn cheap!

If you want more options, other paid services that top many best VPN service charts include ExpressVPN, Surfshark, and VyprVPN. Really it is up to you, your budget, the specific services that you need, and often just good old gut instinct preferences.

Free VPN for Stake

Of course, if you do not want to pay for a VPN service, you can also use one of the excellent freebies that can easily be found out there.

Just note, while free VPN services can be terrific, they generally limit free usage. So if you want to be masking your IP for longer than a few sessions, you will likely need to upgrade the service for a fee.

In addition, many would claim that free VPN services are slower and cramps their gambling style, though we have not necessarily found this to be the case.

Also, even if you only need limited bandwidth, the reality is, very little in life is actually free, so it is very possible that your registration details may be sold to third-party advertisers. True, this is innocuous enough information like your name and email address, which can be found in plenty of other ways, but it is something you should be aware of, in case you suddenly start seeing some marketing spam. Plus, there are concerns about your activity being tracked and holes created for hackers, so keep this in mind too.

As for recommendations in terms of which free VPNs to try with Stake per se, we suggest CyberGhost, TunnelBear, ProtonVPN, and Windscribe, to name a few.

How to Deposit at Stake with a VPN

For those wondering how to deposit at Stake with a VPN, rest-assured, it is the same as without.

The only difference is that you need to be sure that your VPN is activated first. Once you've done that you

1. create a Stake account,
2. log in,
3. click on the blue 'Wallet' button at the top of the page, and proceed from there.

Just note, when you go to make your first deposit, you will be asked for a valid phone number including a country code, so remember to insert one that is relevant to your IP.

After that, you will need to select the crypto you would like to deposit from the list, the amount you would like to deposit, scan the QR code or paste the relevant address in your wallet, and proceed from there. Like we said, same as usual.

Oh, and again as a reminder, as we mentioned you may choose to conduct the transaction from a private wallet service if you want further anonymity, but that is up to you.

Other Benefits of a Stake VPN

While gaining access to Stake from the US or other restricted territories is generally the main motivator for using a VPN, there are others.

• Some people like to use a virtual private network in general as an additional security measure. That is by hiding your real IP address, and actually encrypting your movements, you are safer than ever from the hackers lurking out there.
• And it is also more private as the VPN servers do not generally store logs of user data, so there is no snooping on your traffic either.

So while you may originally opt to use a VPN for Stake, you may steadily find yourself using it more frequently during your online activity.

VPN Not Working at Stake

As for a VPN not working at Stake, we actually have not come across any such incidents.

If, however, this is the case, then you may want to go with the true techie trick and log in and out of your VPN service and / or Stake to try and resolve this.

Other things that could cause it not to work from our experience in similar matters include:

• Temporary down time; that is, that the Stake site is down for maintenance or what have you.
• A poorly selected VPN service, or your VPN's server is temporarily down. It happens.
• Your firewall or antivirus service is somehow blocking Stake.
• A block by your router settings in which case you need to make sure that tunneling protocols are being allowed and adjust your settings accordingly if need be.
• Too many VPNs installed which can wreak havoc on your TAP drivers. If this is the case, you may want to delete them all and start anew.

Some of these points, especially the first two, are likely your best bet, so probably start with these when trying to troubleshoot.

We would not go about contacting Stake support with this question, by the way, should difficulty in access occur, though you could ask your VPN support service as to any underlying cause.

In general, though, this really should not be an issue as access to Stake with a VPN is notably quick and consistent.

And if you are concerned that you have simply been ousted from the Stake site, we have found, despite its T&C, is not particularly active in its pursuit of users playing under the guise of a VPN, so it is an unlikely scenario if you are having difficulty logging in. This is opposed to other online casinos, mind you, where we have been quickly outed by support, and booted from the site in turn. But there is little to worry about to this end in the Stake case, which is another reason we generally prefer it.

The Expert Conclusion on Using a VPN for Gambling at Stake

So as for the question "Can I play at Stake Casino with a VPN?" the answer is absolutely, yes.

While you may not necessarily need one to play from the US or the UK, there may be situations in which you might. The reality is, you need to visit Stake on your own to determine that. If you see the offering blocked to you as a whole, then a VPN it is.

Same goes if you live in a place where particular games aren't available, then an appropriately geo-targeted IP may well be your best bet.

Since there are so many excellent free services available, as well as those provided at a relatively low fee, Stake casino VPN play is a viable reality for all and a great option to employ to grant you access to superior crypto gaming.
