- Stake quotes Asian handicaps and its "Asian Total" goal lines, so it is compared with Pinnacle and Bet365 on every shared line.
- Its tennis money line is void if a player retires, so Stake is only paired with books that settle tennis the same way.
- Stake's Simulated Reality League — computer-generated matches under real national-team names — is left out entirely.
