Stake India – Sports Betting and Online Casino Platform in 2026

Stake holds a Curaçao eGaming licence (number 8048/JAZ), issued by the Government of Curaçao, which is one of the most widely recognised international online gambling licences. Because India’s central law does not prohibit residents from accessing internationally licensed online platforms, players across most Indian states can use the site without violating national legislation. The Curaçao licence requires Stake to maintain segregated player funds, submit to third-party audits, and uphold responsible gaming standards, giving Indian users a regulated environment backed by enforceable compliance obligations.

The Stake sportsbook covers more than 40 sports and thousands of markets daily, with a strong focus on the leagues and formats most popular among Indian bettors. Pre-match odds, live betting, and cash-out options are all available from a single, well-organised interface.

Stake supports multiple bet structures across all sports, giving you the flexibility to match your betting style to the market. The three most commonly used formats are detailed below.

Single Bet

• A single wager on one outcome in one event;
• Your return equals the stake multiplied by the selected odds;
• The lowest-risk bet format, ideal for beginners;
• Widely used for cricket match-winner and football 1X2 markets;
• Winnings are credited immediately after the event settles.

Accumulator (Parlay)

• Combines two or more selections into a single bet;
• All selections must win for the bet to pay out;
• Odds multiply across each added selection, significantly increasing potential returns;
• Popular for combining multiple Premier League or IPL match outcomes;
• A higher-risk, higher-reward format suited to confident bettors.

System Bet

• A structured bet covering multiple combinations from a selection of events;
• Not all selections need to win; a partial win still generates a return;
• Common formats include Trixie (3 events), Yankee (4 events), and Lucky 15 (4 events);
• Offers a safety net compared to a straight accumulator;
• Best suited to experienced bettors who want coverage across several outcomes.

The Stake sportsbook lists extensive betting markets across all major sports, with particular depth in the events most followed by Indian players. The table below shows the key sports and their most popular market types on the platform.

eSports, also widely referred to as cyber sports, has seen a sharp rise in popularity among Indian bettors over the past three years, driven by the growth of competitive gaming audiences in metro and tier-2 cities alike. Stake covers a broad range of cyber sports titles with both pre-match and live betting markets, competitive odds, and coverage of the most prestigious international tournaments. Individual esports titles available for betting on the platform are covered in the sections below.

Esports tournaments draw massive global viewership, and India’s esports fanbase is among the fastest growing in Asia, making international event coverage directly relevant for local bettors. The tournaments listed below are consistently available on Stake and attract the highest betting volumes among Indian players.

• The International (Dota 2): The most prestigious Dota 2 event of the year, featuring the world’s top teams competing for the largest prize pool in esports history;

Virtual sports use certified random number generators to simulate match outcomes, so you can bet 24 hours a day without depending on a live fixture schedule. Stake offers virtual football, virtual horse racing, virtual basketball, and virtual tennis in its virtual sports section, all with short event cycles and instant result settlement.

Stake’s in-play betting section covers cricket, football, tennis, basketball, kabaddi, and major esports titles with odds that update continuously throughout each event. You can access a live match tracker, view current score data, and adjust your bet slip in sync with how a match unfolds. Cash-out is available on selected in-play bets, giving you control over your open positions before a match concludes.
