Older domains are generally more trustworthy. Scam operations rarely maintain domains for extended periods.

Website is online and responding.

This website has proper metadata and the essential legal pages (terms, privacy, contact).

Detected category: gambling betting (medium risk).

This website was classified as 'gambling betting'. The category risk level reflects how frequently this type of website is associated with online fraud.

No community reports filed against this domain.

Our community has not submitted any fraud reports for this domain.

Analysis depth: standard, matched to this site's category.

All core checks (SSL, WHOIS, DNS, content, technology, threat intelligence) ran. Depth is calibrated to the site's category, lower-risk categories use a lighter fraud-analysis pass than crypto/trading/payment sites. This does NOT mean any step was skipped.

AI Analysis

Stake.us is a social casino platform offering free-to-play casino-style games and poker, with a sports betting section. It is operated by Sweepsteaks Limited, based in Cyprus, and is available to residents in the United States (with specific state exclusions). The site emphasizes that no purchase is necessary to play and that it does not offer real money gambling.

Heuristic regex pre-scan detected critical fraud patterns (broker_scam_indicators) that the LLM did not flag. LLM verdict was overridden — possible prompt-injection in scraped content.

Broker Scam Indicators

A free, automatically-issued certificate only proves control of the domain; it does not vet the company behind it. Common for legitimate sites, but also trivial for scammers to obtain, so treat HTTPS alone as the bare minimum, not proof of trust.
