About Medium Rare N.V.

Medium Rare operates Stake.com which provides casino games and sports bets with cryptocurrencies being one of the payment methods. Stake’s ninth anniversary article which was published on 7 August 2026 indicates that Stake platform was launched in 2017. This is the date of the brand history and not a precise incorporation date obtained from the commercial register.

The casino guide provides information about the following casino games categories: slots, table games, live-dealer games and Stake Originals. The games catalogue contains the games provided by the studios and the original ones provided by the platform. Casino and sportsbook belong to the Stake.com platform and individual games, software suppliers and sporting sponsorships do not constitute separate casino brands in the operator's count.

Anti-Money Laundering policy of the platform includes risk-based customer checks, identity and location verification, wallet screening and transaction monitoring as well as enhanced checks (for example, source of funds information) when risk indicators are activated. This is the description of the procedures used by the operator and not an independent assessment of the effectiveness of those procedures. The policy provides that Medium Rare was established in 2017 and does not provide any precise incorporation date.

On 18 December 2025, BetMakers announced a three-year agreement with Stake including an option to extend it for two more years. The proposed racing service included pricing, trading, racing content, streaming and access to tote pools via RaceOdds+ and Global Tote Hub. According to the announcement, it was supposed to be launched in the second half of FY26. This information refers to the supplier agreement and not to the launch of all planned products.

Licensing Information

According to the CGA Certificate of Operation for Stake.com the company registered under the name of Medium Rare N.V., registration number 145353, operates under licence OGL/2024/1451/0918. The certificate states that the licence was issued on 9 June 2025 and had Active status at the moment of check on 2 October 2026.

CGA licence register entry 193 of 21 September 2026 identifies the same company and licence with code B2C. The entry indicates that the date of issuing is 9 December 2025, the date of expiry is 9 June 2026, and the status is Assessment in progress.

The entries have the same information about the identity of the company, though they differ with dates and statuses. The passed expiry field by itself does not imply revocation or expiry of the licence, especially in view of Active status indicated in the certificate. Neither does it indicate Indefinite. CGA warns that the overview does not guarantee the current validity of the licences.

Brands and Operator Relationships

There is only one brand confirmed for Medium Rare in this profile. Stake’s licensing page identifies the company responsible for particular regional services. The difference relates to the licensed operator, not to any logos and websites.

ServiceNamed OperatorRelationship
Stake.comMedium Rare N.V.Direct operation under its Curaçao licence.
Stake.bet.brStake Brazil LtdaSeparately named Brazilian operator.
Colombian Stake service, linked as stake.coStake Colombia SASSeparately named Colombian operator.
Stake.peStake Peru SACSeparately named Peruvian operator.
Stake.uk.comTGP Europe LimitedHistorical British white-label operation; closure announced in February 2025.

Notice published by the Gambling Commission on 12 February 2025 indicated TGP Europe Limited as the operator of Stake.uk.com website, indicating registrations ceasing and the shutting down process completing by 11 March 2025. This was the UK white label operation, and not the British license of Medium Rare.

Primedice is mentioned in opinion published in Freeman v. Stake.com on 26 June 2023. It provides the information about allegations about the transfers between Medium Rare and Slicemedia B.V. This does not prove the existence of Primedice as an operating website of Medium Rare. The stake casino guide includes also the game called Primedice, which means only the game title but no other additional operator brand.

These data do not confirm the accurate number of the migrated brands from Medium Rare operation. Regional variations and allegations about the transfers in the past should not be used as confirmed facts regarding the number of migrations from Medium Rare.

Regulatory Actions

Sanction decision ES/2022/010 of Spain on 9 May 2022 imposes the €4 million fine and two-year disqualification of Medium Rare for providing gambling services without the necessary Spanish authorisation. Access to Stake.com, cryptocurrency-funded deposits, as well as playing in casino and sports betting from Spain is mentioned. The decision also requires termination of the illegal activity. It is an administrative decision of Spain, not the global cancellation of the Medium Rare's license issued by Curaçao.

In Australia, disclosure log 137 of ACMA of 10 May 2024 refers to the compliance related documents about Stake.com, Medium Rare and EasyGo Solutions Pty Ltd. It says that 30 documents were released partially, some parts were redacted. The information contained in the disclosure log itself is not the warning, penalty decision or any finding of unlawful activity.

The case Freeman v. Stake.com was dismissed on 26 June 2023 by New York federal court without prejudice due to lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. That does not determine the underlying facts of the ownership allegations. The other order of 7 November 2023 denied the defendants' motion for sanctions against the plaintiff. This procedural decisions should not be presented as the fine issued by regulator to Medium Rare.

On 4 September 2025, the Los Angeles City Attorney announced a civil lawsuit regarding Stake.us. The lawsuit identified Medium Rare as one of the defendants in case 25STCV25304 for alleged violations of the California’s Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law. The requested relief includes a stop to the alleged conduct, monetary recovery and civil penalties. This is the record of the allegation and the relief requested at filing and does not represent any final judgment of liability or determination of Medium Rare as Stake.us contracting operator.
