Stake.us pairs Gold Coins for fun play with Stake Cash (its SC equivalent) for redeemable prizes, with a 3x playthrough requirement - higher than the 1x common elsewhere - before funds can be redeemed. For the full step-by-step process shared across this model, see How Sweepstakes Casinos Work.
Per Stake.us's own terms of service, the brand excludes Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia - one of the more restricted brands on this list. This can change - see our State Guide for the broader picture, and confirm current availability directly on stake.us before signing up. Operator-reported exclusion lists like this one are self-reported and can lag behind actual state legislation, especially as laws change. See Are Sweepstakes Casinos Legal? for why this happens and how to think about it.
Stake.us operates under state sweepstakes law rather than gambling law, using Gold Coins for entertainment play and a second, redeemable currency awarded free or via purchase. Legal treatment varies by state and is changing quickly - see our State Guide for the current picture. For the full explanation, see Are Sweepstakes Casinos Legal?
