Editorial Policy

Our guides are written by the team described on our About page: Canadian players and writers with years of experience using crypto casinos and sportsbooks. We publish under a shared team name rather than individual bylines, and the team as a whole is responsible for every page.

We base our guides on first-hand use of Stake and on Stake’s own published information. That means:

• Walking through the sign-up, deposit, verification and withdrawal flows ourselves.
• Reading the offer terms shown on Stake, including wagering requirements.
• Checking how features behave on both desktop and mobile.
• Writing from a Canadian point of view: CAD, provincial age rules and Ontario availability.

Before a page goes live, a second member of the team reviews it. We check that the code (SHIMA), the offer (200% Bonus and 3.5% Rakeback) and any steps match what Stake currently shows, and that we have not stated anything as fact that we could not confirm.

We do not publish invented figures, guaranteed winnings or offers that are not available through our code. Where something depends on Stake’s terms or your province, we say so and point you to the source.

We review the site whenever Stake changes its sign-up flow, offers or rules, and on a regular schedule in between. Each guide shows the date it was last updated. When we change a page, we update that date; when we have not changed it, the date stays the same.

stakereferralcode.ca is independent and is not owned or operated by Stake. We are part of Stake’s affiliate programme, which means we may earn a commission when you sign up through our links or with our code. That commission is paid by Stake and does not affect your bonus, your rakeback or the odds of any game.

Commercial relationships do not decide what we write. Full details are in our Disclaimer.

We write about gambling as entertainment, never as a way to make money. Every guide is written for adults of legal age in their province, and we link to free Canadian support on our Responsible Gambling page.

If you spot something out of date or wrong, email us at hello@stakereferralcode.ca. We review every correction request and update the page if needed.
