This page covers two ways to deposit with a credit card on Stake.com. Use Local Currency card deposits directly if your currency is one of seven supported, or buy crypto with a card through the Buy tab's Moonpay checkout if it isn't.
What Payment Methods Does Stake Accept?
Stake is a crypto-first casino: most balances, bets, and withdrawals run through cryptocurrency. But Stake also supports fiat deposits in select currencies through a Local Currency option, which lets you fund your account with a Visa or Mastercard without holding any crypto yourself. If your currency or country isn't covered by Local Currency, Stake has a separate route: buying crypto directly with a credit card through the wallet's Buy tab, covered further down this page.
Apple Pay and Google Pay aren't available as direct Stake deposit methods. Stake's own fiat option is Local Currency card deposits only. Both do show up as payment options inside the Buy tab's Moonpay checkout, alongside cards, so a player without a Visa or Mastercard can still fund their account that way.
How Do You Deposit With a Credit or Debit Card on Stake?
Depositing with a card takes four steps:
- 1. Go to the Wallet tab.
- 2. Select Deposit > Local Currency > Debit/Credit Card.
- 3. Select your desired deposit amount.
- 4. Enter your card details and click Set Amount to proceed.
- The option only appears when your selected currency and location are supported, so a missing option usually points to that rather than a broken account. Check the table below to confirm.
Which Currencies and Countries Support Credit Card Deposits?
Credit card availability depends on your country and selected currency. Stake maintains a specific list of supported markets, deposit/withdrawal limits, and which card networks work in each:
| Currency | Country | Deposit/Withdraw Limit | Visa | Mastercard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAD | Canada | CAD 5 – 3,000 | Yes | Yes |
| CLP | Chile | CLP 5,000 – 1,000,000 | Yes | No |
| AED | UAE | AED 20 – 3,000 | Yes | Yes |
| EUR | Albania, Andorra, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Slovenia | EUR 5 – 1,000 | Yes | Yes (except Albania) |
| USD | Ecuador | USD 5 – 1,000 | Yes | Yes |
| ISK | Iceland | ISK 500 – 300,000 | Yes | Yes |
| BAM | Bosnia & Herzegovina | BAM 10 – 5,000 | Yes | Yes |
This list reflects Stake's currently published support and can change as Stake adds or drops markets, so treat it as a reference point rather than a permanent guarantee.
What if my currency or country isn't listed?
The credit card option simply won't appear in your Wallet if your currency or location isn't on Stake's supported list. In that case, use the Buy tab to fund your account with a credit card instead, or check back periodically as Stake expands its supported markets.
Using the Buy Tab to Fund Stake With a Credit Card
Stake's wallet has a separate Buy tab that lets you purchase cryptocurrency directly with a credit card through Moonpay, a third-party payment processor Stake integrates natively into its own platform. Once purchased, that crypto is credited to your Stake wallet and deposits like any other crypto balance. Here's how it works:
- 1. Open the Wallet, then the Buy tab.
- 2. Select Moonpay (or another listed provider).
- 3. Follow the provider's prompts to purchase crypto with a credit card.
- 4. The purchased crypto arrives in your Stake wallet, ready to play with.
- This is Stake's own built-in path for players whose currency or country isn't covered by Local Currency card deposits, or who don't already hold crypto. Fees, purchase limits, and country restrictions for this route are set by Moonpay directly, so check Moonpay's own terms before buying.
How Does the Moonpay Checkout Work?
Once you select Moonpay, its checkout offers three ways to pay:
- Transfer manually: Send crypto from an exchange or wallet you already use. Select your token and network, copy the deposit address (or scan the QR code), paste it into your sending wallet, enter the amount, and confirm.
- Connect wallet: Pay instantly from a connected wallet like MetaMask or Phantom, without copying an address. This is the fastest option if you already hold crypto in a wallet.
- Pay with cash: Buy crypto instantly with a debit card, delivered straight into your wallet. This route runs on a debit card, not the credit card path covered elsewhere on this page, and is built for players who don't hold crypto yet. Per Moonpay's own documentation, most deposits complete in under 30 seconds (Bitcoin typically takes 20–30 minutes), Moonpay covers network gas fees (transaction fees) on supported tokens, and minimum deposits start at $3 on Solana and EVM networks ($25 for Bitcoin). These figures come from Moonpay help center directly, but treat them as a general guide and confirm current terms with Moonpay before making a deposit.
How Long Does a Credit Card Deposit Take to Process?
Credit card deposits through Local Currency are processed in near real time in most cases. In some cases, the transaction may take 1–3 business days to clear, depending on your card issuer.
Why Isn't the Credit Card Option Showing on Stake?
If Debit/Credit Card isn't appearing under Deposit > Local Currency, check three things:
- Your currency: confirm it's on the supported list above.
- Your location: the option is gated by country as well as currency.
- Your card network: only Visa and Mastercard are supported. Mastercard isn't available in every listed country. Albania only accepts Visa. If all three check out and the option still isn't showing, that's a case for Stake's own support team rather than a currency mismatch.
Can You Withdraw to a Credit Card on Stake?
Yes. Stake also offers credit card withdrawals as a separate feature alongside card deposits. For withdrawal-specific limits and processing times, check the withdrawal article on Stake's own help center rather than assuming they match deposit terms.
Is It Safe to Deposit With a Credit Card at Stake?
A credit card deposit means gambling with borrowed money rather than money you already have, which is a meaningfully different risk than depositing from a debit card or bank transfer. It's also part of why credit-card gambling deposits are restricted or banned outright in a number of jurisdictions, and why Stake gates the option by currency and country rather than offering it everywhere. If you do use a credit card, treat the deposit limit as a hard ceiling. Only stake what you can pay off in full, and set that limit through your account settings before you fund it. Stake Crash stats and other live casino games tracked on Live casino scores are available once your deposit is in.
