You might have used Stake for months without a single problem, then suddenly find that the website won't load. Trying again doesn't help, and even switching browsers makes no difference. So, what happened?

Quite often, the problem is with the domain rather than Stake itself. Some countries restrict access to gambling websites, and certain internet providers block specific addresses. That's why mirror sites exist, although they aren't always official or safe to use.

This episode covers the problems players run into when looking for a working Stake mirror. Some addresses are already outdated, others lead to unrelated websites, and a few may look almost identical to Stake while having nothing to do with it.

Before trying an unfamiliar link, it's worth seeing what other people have said about it. The Trustpilot page at https://www.trustpilot.com/review/stakemirror.uk.com is one place to look for reviews of Stake mirror sites and any addresses mentioned by reviewers.

We'll also cover a few things worth checking before signing in, especially when a website asks for your password or payment information. A working link doesn't necessarily mean it's a genuine Stake website.
