Major Sports Partnerships and Collaborations
Stake has built its success on offering the best gambling experience but couples this with key partnerships and sponsorships of major athletes and organisations. In 2021, we partnered with the UFC , the world’s largest and most successful fighting organisation. In the following year, this partnership was expanded to become the official betting partner for the UFC in Brazil.
On top of being partnered with the UFC, Stake sponsors some of the best fighters in the world. This includes legendary champions like Israel Adesanya , Alex Pereira , Alexandre Pantoja , and Merab Dvalishvili .

Drake is one of the biggest music stars in the world, but did you know he also loves to bet on sports and roulette? The Toronto-based rapper was one of the earliest VIPs at Stake, and his love of the platform led to a huge partnership in 2022 .

In 2024 and 2025, this deal was signed with Sauber after Alfa Romeo left the sport. The partnership with F1 doesn’t end with the Stake F1 Team , we’re also partnered with the Fittipaldi brothers .
