Badass

  • Best crypto casino library on the market (6,000+ games, 260+ providers, 31 Stake Originals)
  • 20+ supported cryptocurrencies including all major stablecoins
  • Combined sportsbook and casino wallet
  • Big VIP ladder with rakeback baked in
  • Sponsorship credibility (F1, UFC, Everton) means the operator is unlikely to vanish overnight

Half-Assed

  • Documented history of limiting sportsbook accounts to $100 max bet after short winning runs
  • Withdrew from the UK in March 2025 after regulatory pressure over advertising
  • 40x wagering on welcome bonus is heavy
  • Public review scores are polarised, with complaints clustering on stalled withdrawals
