Difference Between Crypto & Local Currencies
A cryptocurrency is a virtual currency, a digital form of money created and managed by a network of computers using cryptography, a method of securing and verifying information.
Fiat, or local currency, is a physical form of money issued and controlled by a government and typically has legal tender status in its country of origin.
Despite the availability of various currencies, people usually think in their local currency, the money in which you earn your income. Thus, to make things easier for our players, we have introduced a feature that allows you to view your Stake account balance in your desired local currency—providing on-the-spot currency conversions so you can see your balance in a way that makes sense to you.
To view your balance in your preferred currency, log into your account and navigate to your settings. You will see where you can view your balance in your local currency, whether EUR, USD, CAD, etc., by choosing from the dropdown list.
It’s important to remember that this is just an indicative value based on the market price of your crypto and will fluctuate as the market moves, as all transactions are completed in cryptocurrencies at Stake.com.
How to Deposit Funds & Make Withdrawals in Local Currency
Similar to making deposits, if you wish to withdraw in your local currency, the method will depend on the currency itself. Don’t forget to check the wagering requirements for withdrawals before depositing any funds.
What are the Wager Requirements for Withdrawals?
If you do choose to fund your account with your local currency, then it's important that you are aware of our wagering requirements, as detailed in our Terms & Conditions. Wagering requirements are common throughout the industry and can vary depending on how you fund your account and your withdrawal method.
The requirement for withdrawing foreign currency states that you must wager the equivalent of 100% of your initial fiat deposit before you can request a fiat withdrawal.
The purpose of this requirement is to preserve the integrity of our systems and ensure no misuse of funds. You can proceed with your withdrawal request upon completing your wager requirement.
If you want to find out more about withdrawing and depositing funds while you have an active wager requirement, head to our Help Center for more info.
Secure Transactions when Gambling Online
At Stake, we take online safety seriously and want all our players to enjoy their online gaming experience. We implement a range of measures to protect your personal information, for example, making two-factor authentication available for all user accounts.
The Stake.com website is protected by SSL encryption, and using crypto means you don’t have to enter your personal banking details, so you can have peace of mind that your details are protected and transactions are 100% secure.
There’s also no need to rely on third parties like banks or other payment providers, so your deposits and withdrawals are faster, more secure, and free from transaction fees.
Using cryptocurrencies is a safe way to gamble online and make secure transactions. However, we always recommend you take extra precautions to boost your safety while betting online, such as using the Stake Vault to store your crypto safely. Refer to our blog on crypto security for more information.
You should always activate 2FA (two-factor authentication) to access your account and use regularly updated auto-generated safe passwords to ensure extra protection.
Finally, it’s important to always exercise responsible gambling practices and follow our tips to help you Stake Smart. You can use our betting limits and budgeting guide and ourbudgeting calculator to help set appropriate limits when playing online.
