Hi Stake Team and Community,
I’m writing this to share some feedback regarding our current sports provider and to suggest improvements that would significantly elevate the betting experience on Stake. While Stake excels in many areas, the sportsbook currently feels like it’s lagging behind the industry standards in a few key aspects.
Current Limitations & Transparency Issues
The primary issue is the very limited market selection. Furthermore, there is a significant lack of transparency regarding limits; we cannot see the maximum bet amount for a specific selection until after we attempt to place the bet. This creates an unnecessary hurdle for the user experience.
The NBA Benchmark (What Works)
To give credit where it’s due, the current provider’s strongest suit is the variety in NBA player props. While most other platforms offer only a fixed line (e.g., 15.5 points), Stake provides a wide range of alternative lines (e.g., spanning from 10.5 to 19.5). This flexibility is exactly what we need across all sports.
Necessary Additions for Football (Soccer)
We need this same "alternative line" logic and depth applied to football. Currently, we are missing essential stat-based markets such as:
Offsides
Total Shots & Shots on Target
Goal Kicks
Throw-ins
Goalkeeper Saves
Improving the Bet Builder (Same Game Multi)
Another crucial point is the flexibility of the Bet Builder. Currently, same-game multis are often restricted to single-match play. This feature should be updated to allow us to combine Bet Builder selections with other matches or different markets in a multi-bet (parlay) format.
Conclusion
In short, we need a provider that offers:
Pre-bet limit visibility.
Expanded statistical markets for football.
Combinable Bet Builders.
I believe these changes would make Stake’s sportsbook just as competitive and elite as its casino counterpart. I’d love to hear the community’s and the team’s thoughts on this.
Best regards,
