Stake leads crypto casino traffic as Yolo brands exit

Stake attracts 147.8M monthly visits, nearly five times second-placed Gamdom, as Yolo prepares to exit the crypto casino market.

Stake attracts 147.8M monthly visits, nearly five times second-placed Gamdom, as Yolo prepares to exit the crypto casino market.

Stake recorded 147.8 million monthly visits in February 2026, nearly five times the traffic of second-placed Gamdom at 30.9 million, according to SimilarWeb data. The gap underlines a two-tier structure in global crypto casinos, with Stake operating on a different scale from every other operator in the segment.

The ranking covers 15 crypto-focused platforms by monthly global domain visits. Behind Stake and Gamdom, Shuffle pulled 29.6 million visits, Rainbet 25.9 million, and Roobet 17.9 million. BC.Game, Duel, Duelbits, 500 Casino, Razed, Rollbit, Yeet, Sportsbet.io, whale.io and Bitcasino.io fill the remaining positions. The smallest three logged under 500,000 visits each.

The traffic data lands at the end of a reset period for the segment. H2 Gambling Capital puts the global online gambling market at around $100 billion in 2025, with crypto-native casinos capturing a meaningful slice. Chainalysis data referenced in its 2025 Geography of Cryptocurrency Report shows on-chain gambling volumes had passed $60 billion by mid-year, excluding centralised exchanges and fiat casinos that accept crypto payments. Statista put 2024 crypto gambling transaction volume at $15.8 billion. Stablecoins have become the core settlement layer. Chainalysis reported that USDT processed roughly $703 billion a month between June 2024 and June 2025, peaking above $1 trillion in June 2025.

Stake’s scale and regulated pivot

Stake’s traffic lead tracks its revenue trajectory. Founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani reported revenue of approximately $4.7 billion in 2024, up from $2.6 billion in 2022, according to Forbes Australia figures. Stake Engine, the group’s proprietary development platform, has processed $3.31 billion in turnover over the past 12 months and supports over one million bets per second, according to Easygo chief strategy officer Brais Pena.

The company continues to move into regulated jurisdictions. Stake launched in Brazil under the new federal licensing regime in 2025 and operates Stake.us as a sweepstakes product across 37 US states. SoftSwiss has publicly detailed its role in scaling Stake from 15 games at launch to the current operation, covering platform-level integrations that underpin much of the technical growth.

The challenger tier

Gamdom has operated since 2016 under Smein Hosting N.V. on a Curaçao licence and claims over 16 million users across casino, sportsbook and esports verticals. MEXC reporting puts Gamdom at 28.5 million visits in December 2025 and cites a 30% rise in total esports bets. The platform holds partnerships with Usain Bolt and sponsors professional esports teams. Its 2026 positioning leans on community features and gamification rather than high-ticket user acquisition.

Shuffle, launched in 2023 by former Alameda Research trader Noah Dummett and backed by Fisher8 Capital, sits just behind Gamdom on 29.6 million monthly visits. Blockworks estimates Shuffle generates over $100 million in annualised net gaming revenue. The platform’s SHFL token distributes 15% of weekly revenues, around $200,000 to $300,000, to stakers via a weekly lottery denominated in USDC. That equates to an approximate 48% annualised return, according to figures confirmed by the company.

Shuffle disclosed a data breach in October 2025 via third-party CRM provider Fast Track, exposing customer names, emails, addresses and transaction data without affecting funds or passwords. The company launched ShuffleUSA in September 2025 as a sweepstakes product targeting the US market and plans further compliance-focused expansion in 2026.

Rainbet recorded 25.9 million visits. Business of iGaming’s deposit analysis shows the platform ranks high on deposit count but lower on average deposit size, pointing to a broader, more casual user base than either Stake or Roobet.

Roobet, founded in 2019 under Raw Entertainment B.V., took 17.9 million visits and holds SiGMA’s 2025 Best Crypto Casino award. Its partnerships include Chelsea FC, 100 Thieves and UFC champion Charles Oliveira. Acquisition analyst Julien Gaillard has flagged Roobet as exposed to regulatory tightening and rising marketing costs in 2026.

The Yolo exit and Betsson’s crypto opening

Sportsbet.io and Bitcasino.io sit near the bottom of the ranking at 300,000 and 200,000 monthly visits, a decline from their former scale that reflects a deliberate wind-down. Yolo Group founder Tim Heath announced the pivot to fully regulated markets in September 2025, with plans to consolidate consumer operations under a single Yolo.com brand.

Betsson and Yolo: What We Know About the Sportsbet.io Deal

Betsson AB is reported to be in late-stage discussions to acquire both Sportsbet.io and Bitcasino.io for under €50 million, around $59 million, according to The Australian reporting cited by iGB and SBC News. Betsson declined to comment on what it called speculative reporting. Chief executive Pontus Lindwall told iGB the direction of travel in regulated crypto casinos is clear, if slow.

“Momentum is building,” Lindwall said of regulated crypto casinos, while cautioning that the vertical remains a long-term play.

Yolo has continued its regulated push in parallel, securing UAE gaming-related vendor licences from the GCGRA and pursuing further market entries. Completion of the Betsson transaction would mark Heath’s full exit from the unregulated crypto-gambling segment he built over the past decade.

BC.Game, Rollbit and the smaller field

BC.Game logged 11.7 million visits. The Curaçao-licensed operator reported 9 million users and over $30 billion in cumulative wagers in March 2025, with estimated annual revenue of $18.9 million. The company launched BC Engine on 8 April 2026, a rewards mechanism that distributes $BC tokens with hourly yields in BC.GAME’s USD-pegged BCD token. The native $BC token hit an all-time high of $0.01181 on 12 April 2026 following the launch. BC.Game also holds a $40 million sponsorship deal with Leicester City and a Deccan Gladiators T10 cricket partnership.

Rollbit’s 1.9 million visits mark a substantial decline for a platform that previously ranked among the top three by deposit volume. Business of iGaming’s data shows Rollbit’s deposit volume dropped 35% in recent months, and its native RLB token trades around 77% below its peak, according to CoinGecko data. Duel, Duelbits, 500 Casino, Razed, Yeet and whale.io occupy the mid-to-lower tier with combined monthly traffic under 15 million.

What the traffic data does and does not show

Monthly visits measure attention, not revenue. Stake’s 147.8 million visits overshadow its competitors but do not directly equate to deposit share. Business of iGaming’s deposit analysis ranks Stake at $21.5 billion in annual deposit volume, with Roobet and Shuffle operating in distinct player segments by average ticket size. Combining the traffic chart with deposit data shows two competitive layers, with creator-driven platforms such as Chips.gg and Goated growing fast from a lower base.

Regulation is the variable analysts are watching most closely heading into the rest of 2026. The UK Gambling Commission’s accelerated cryptocurrency timeline, MiCA disclosure obligations in the EU, and enforcement actions in Australia and New Zealand against prediction markets are tightening the perimeter within which crypto-first operators can legally serve EU and English-speaking players. The Betsson-Yolo transaction, if completed, would be the clearest signal yet that the regulated and crypto-native segments are converging.
