Can I use Stake in UK? Is Stake banned in UK?

Key Legislation
Gambling Act 2005
Last Updated: 2025

Stake.com is not legally available in the United Kingdom. The company officially exited the UK market on March 11, 2025. This decision followed an investigation by the UK Gambling Commission into a social media video that featured the Stake.com brand. The UKGC announced that Stake's UK-facing website, Stake.uk.com, which was operated by TGP Europe Limited under a white-label arrangement, would no longer be licensed.

As a result, UK residents cannot legally access or use Stake.com's services. While it is technically possible for a user in the UK to access the international version of Stake.com using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), doing so would be a violation of both Stake.com's terms of service and UK gambling regulations.

The UKGC has also warned sports clubs sponsored by gambling companies about the risks of promoting unlicensed gambling websites, and has taken steps to ensure that geo-blocking measures are effective.
