Medium Rare N.V.: the company behind Stake
✓ documented Medium Rare N.V., registered in Curaçao under number 145353, is the operating entity behind Stake.com. The ownership is unusually well-documented for a crypto casino, which is the point: you can re-check it.
Who owns it
Stake was founded by Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani, who own it through the Melbourne-based group Easygo Entertainment. That ownership is on the public record — company filings, trade press and Craven's own interviews — rather than something you have to infer from a footer. Medium Rare N.V. is the licensed operating company; Easygo is the group behind it, and also runs the in-house game studio whose titles you see across the platform.
The brands tied to this group
- Stake.com — the main brand, operated by Medium Rare N.V. on a Curaçao licence (OGL/2024/1451/0918), with regulated-market access in the UK via TGP Europe.
- Primedice — the original dice site from the same founders, under the Easygo umbrella.
- Stake.us — a separate legal entity (Sweepsteaks Limited, Cyprus), run as a US sweepstakes site under the same Easygo parent. Same family, different company and a different legal model. We flag the distinction because "Stake = Stake.us" is a common and wrong assumption.
How we sourced this
The operating entity and licence come from Stake's own footprint and the Curaçao register; you can confirm the licence yourself on the Curaçao register, and the Craven/Tehrani ownership from public filings and reporting. Where a brand is run by a different company under the same parent — as with Stake.us — we say so rather than lump them together.
