Is Moon.com Owned by Stake? (2026): Who Runs Moon, the Licence, the Easygo Link & How It Differs

Is Moon.com owned by Stake? What Moon's own terms say (Moon International Limited, Comoros), the Anjouan licence we checked on the regulator's register, what launch coverage reported about Easygo, and how Moon's 1000x Up/Down bets, fees and availability differ from Stake's casino and sportsbook. Plus play money and the 3.5% rakeback code moonlev.

Transcript

Hey, welcome back to Moon Leverage. Episode 7, and it's the question that turns up in search every single day: is Moon.com owned by Stake? Who actually runs it, what's confirmed in black and white, what's only been reported, and what the difference between the two products means for you.

Let's start with what's confirmed, because it's shorter than you'd think. Moon.com's terms of service name one company: Moon International Limited, incorporated in the Union of the Comoros, registration number 16151, with a registered office in Mutsamudu, on the island of Anjouan. That's the operator. That's who you have an account with.

Then the licence. Moon's own terms don't print a licence number, so we checked the regulator's public register ourselves, on 10 September. The Anjouan Gaming Authority lists Moon International Limited, for the domain moon.com, with a licence marked valid until 30 January 2027. That's the first thing I'd want to know about any betting site, and it checks out.

Now, what the terms don't say. They don't mention Stake. They don't mention Easygo, the company behind Stake. And they don't mention Ed Craven or Bijan Tehrani, the two people who founded Stake back in 2017. So on Moon's own site, there's no ownership link to Stake at all.

So where does the Stake connection come from? From the launch coverage. When Moon opened to the public, around 25 and 26 August, sites including DomainGang and Gambling Lore reported that the project comes from Easygo, citing LinkedIn postings from people involved. It's a plausible story. The same team building a second product on a premium domain fits how they've operated before. But reported isn't the same as stated by the company, and Moon has chosen not to say it on its own site. So the honest answer is: it's been widely reported, and Moon itself doesn't confirm it.

A quick side note on that domain. Moon.com was registered back in 1994, and for years it was the home of Moon Travel Guides, which moved to its own domain in 2025.

Here's the part that actually matters for you. Whoever is behind it, Moon and Stake are separate products with separate accounts. Your Stake login doesn't work on Moon, and your Stake balance doesn't move across. You register on Moon, you do Moon's own verification, a government ID front and back plus a proof of address, before your first deposit, and you deposit crypto into Moon directly.

And the products are genuinely different. Stake is a casino and a sportsbook: slots, table games, Stake originals, and fixed odds on sport. Moon has none of that. Moon does one thing. You pick an asset, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Tesla, Apple and more, you call Up or Down on its price, and you choose your leverage anywhere from 1x to 1000x. It runs 24/7. At 1000x, a $100 stake controls $100,000, and a 0.1% move against you ends the bet. Your stake is the most you can lose.

The costs work differently too. On Stake, the house edge is built into the game or the odds. On Moon, you pay fees on the bet itself: a 1% opening fee on your stake, a holding fee every 8 hours a bet stays open, and a performance fee of at least 10% of your profit, with nothing charged on a loss. Moon also prices each bet with a spread in its favour. Episode 3 goes through all of that with worked examples.

Then availability. Moon publishes its own list of 43 restricted places, including the US, the UK and Australia. That list is Moon's alone. Stake's availability is set by Stake's own terms, and the two don't necessarily match, so don't assume that because one works where you are, the other does.

If you're coming over from Stake, two things to do. One, start with play money. Moon has a free play money mode with a simulated balance of $100,000. Same markets, same leverage, same liquidation maths, so you can feel what 1000x does before it's your crypto on the line. Two, sign up with the code moonlev. It gives you 3.5% rakeback on the fees you pay, from your first bet, and it sits on top of Moon's VIP weekly and monthly bonuses. The week to 19 September alone paid out $50,903 across Moon's active players.

So, the short version. Confirmed: Moon is run by Moon International Limited in the Comoros, and it's licensed on the Anjouan register. Reported, but not confirmed by Moon: that it comes from Easygo, the company behind Stake. Either way: a separate account, separate verification, and a completely different kind of bet.
