Recognition against evidence
Size and disclosure turn out to be unrelated
Stake is the most recognisable name among these 10 operators, and on the 4 things this site measures it produces exactly 1 answer: a licence number that resolves to Medium Rare N.V. in the Curaçao register. The coin count, the ceiling and the verification amount are all unpublished.
One column filled out of four
The four things this site can measure are a coin count, a withdrawal ceiling, a verification amount, and a licence number that resolves in the register that issued it.
Stake fills the last of those. Licence OGL/2024/1451/0918, issued by the Curaçao Gaming Authority on 9 June 2025, resolves to a certificate for Medium Rare N.V., company number 145353, status Active.
The other three cells are blank, and blank here has one meaning: the operator’s own documents were read and the figures were absent from them.
Stake.com is operated by Medium Rare N.V., company number 145353, under licence OGL/2024/1451/0918, granted 09/06/2025 and shown as Active.
Why recognition is a poor guide
A brand this visible carries an implication that a smaller one cannot, which is that scale must be evidence of something. Set the rows side by side and the implication does not survive.
Bitcasino.io, a smaller name in the same set, publishes a verification threshold in clause 6.6 and a weekly ceiling in clause 6.10 and holds a register entry of exactly the same kind. BetPlays, which names no authority at all, still publishes a ceiling in clause 6.11. Disclosure is a choice an operator makes about its documents, and it turns out to correlate with nothing a reader can see from the outside.
That is a useful thing to know before the table is read as a popularity contest, and it is the reason the table is ordered by evidence rather than by fame — the rules are set out on the method page.
Clause 4.8
The verification provision is a discretion: documents may be requested where the operator considers it necessary, at no stated amount. It is the same form eight of the ten use, and it means there is no balance at which the request becomes predictable in either direction.
Set against a threshold, the practical difference is simple. A number tells a player when to expect the request. A discretion tells them only that it may arrive, which the verification page works through row by row.
The Dutch position
Stake’s own restricted-country list was read and the Netherlands is absent from it.
That is a statement about one document. The Kansspelautoriteit register makes a statement about a different one, and for a Dutch reader it is the statement that decides the tax position, the complaint route and the Cruks question — all three are set out on the Cruks and register page.
