What are the available payment options at Stake.com India?
Stake.com is one of the most popular sports betting platforms in India, and indeed the wider world. Thanks to high profile sports sponsorships and celebrity endorsements, Stake.com has a huge profile within the Indian market. Their support for cryptocurrencies, as well as fiat currencies, means they’re one of the leading options for online gamblers. But which payment methods can you use to fund and withdraw from your Stake.com account?
Which payment methods can I use for deposit at Stake.com India?
Deposits at Stake.com can be sent in several different ways. Firstly, most players choose to deposit by cryptocurrency. This is the quickest way to deposit to your Stake.com account, and the easiest way to move funds to your Stake balance. Stake supports cryptocurrency deposits in a range of different cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, litecoin and ethereum, for flexible, easy deposits to your account.
For fiat customers in India, there is the choice of depositing by either Netbanking or UPI. In the case of Netbanking, you’ll need to have completed KYC verification by submitting the requested ID documents to Stake.com support. You’ll then need to choose your bank from the list of supported institutions before you can move funds into your Stake.com account.
The process of depositing by fiat currency can take 75 minutes from when you confirm your deposit, so it makes sense to do this well ahead of time. Alternatively, crypto deposits can be much quicker, relying only on the time it takes for your funds to hit the Stake crypto wallet. This varies depending on the cryptocurrency you’ve used for your payment.
Which payment methods can I use for withdrawal at Stake.com India?
The withdrawal method you use for moving funds from your Stake.com account must be the same method you’ve used for depositing. So if you’ve sent funds from your crypto wallet, you must receive your withdrawal to the same wallet, as part of the ‘closed loop’ payments system in operation at Stake.com.
There’s also the option for customers in India to deposit and withdraw in INR via bank transfer. This can take a little longer for withdrawals - often up to 3 working days for the funds to clear into your bank account. For withdrawals in fiat currency, the options are Netbanking and UPI, which link directly with your bank account at a supported banking institution.
A full list of the institutions supported for INR withdrawals is available at the Stake.com deposits and withdrawals page, where you’ll find full instructions on how to withdraw your funds. Note that you’ll also need to have verified your identity in line with their KYC requirements before you can withdraw in INR.
How long do deposits take at Stake.com India?
Deposits by cryptocurrency at Stake.com are restricted only by the time it takes for the funds to hit the Stake crypto wallet. This varies depending on network speeds and the cryptocurrency you’re using, but you should typically allow up to 30 minutes for the funds to be sent and received, and reflected within your Stake.com balance.
INR deposits can take a little longer, because these are going bank to bank. Allow up to 75 minutes once you’ve completed the transaction for your funds to show up in your account. This does require you to have completed KYC processes which can add some time to the process. But if you’ve done this in advance, it’s still quick to get funds to your Stake account when depositing.
How long do withdrawals take at Stake.com India?
Withdrawals from Stake.com go to the same payment method you’ve used for your deposit. So if you deposited by crypto, you’ll be withdrawing by crypto. If you deposited by fiat, your funds will be withdrawn directly to the same bank account you used for your deposit. Withdrawals are subject to processing time, but will then be sent out as quickly as possible - subject to the natural timeframes of the payment networks being used to receive your funds.
Crypto withdrawals can be received in your crypto wallet within the same day as your withdrawal request is approved. For withdrawals to your bank account, allow up to 3 working days for cleared funds to show up.
Can I deposit to Stake.com India using cryptocurrency?
The default option for deposits to Stake.com is cryptocurrency. Stake has built its reputation on being a crypto-first betting platform, allowing customers from around the world to gamble via cryptocurrency through their sports betting interface. Deposits are accepted in a number of different leading cryptocurrencies. All you need to do to initiate a crypto deposit is head to the Deposit page within your account, choose your cryptocurrency and amount, and send the transfer to the wallet address provided.
Crypto deposits are the quickest and easiest way to fund your account as an Indian customer, reflecting in your Stake balance as soon as the funds are sent to the Stake.com wallet address.
Can I deposit to Stake.com India in Rupees?
Stake.com deposits are also available in Rupees. Transactions sent from your bank account via either Netbanking or UPI allow you to send fiat currency to your Stake account - without the need for buying cryptocurrency or setting up a crypto wallet. While this can take up to 75 minutes once you’ve completed the transaction to reflect on your account, it’s still possible to fund your account in this way if that’s the most convenient option for you.
You will be required to complete KYC verification processes before you can deposit in INR through some bank transfer options. Full details on the deposit process are available on the Stake.com deposit page, which has specific details for customers in India on how best to fund their accounts.
Stake.com has good support for payments for customers in India. On both the deposit and withdrawal sides, it’s easy to move money to and from your account, in the most flexible, convenient way for your account.
