0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

StakeKings is a well-established crowdstaking platform founded in 2016, offering fans the ability to stake competitive players in poker, daily fantasy sports, and other events in exchange for a share of winnings. The platform positions itself as the world's largest staking marketplace with a strong community presence, transparent transaction histories, and multiple payment options. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and leverages Cloudflare for CDN and security, delivering fast and mobile-optimized user experiences. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, EPP domain protections, and security headers, though DNSSEC is not enabled and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Privacy compliance is partial with a comprehensive privacy policy but lacking cookie consent mechanisms and explicit GDPR statements. Overall, the platform demonstrates high professionalism and trustworthiness but could improve privacy and security transparency.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

StakeKings operates in the finance sector focusing on gaming and fantasy sports staking. Its business model revolves around enabling fans to invest in players' tournament entries and share winnings, creating a unique revenue stream from staking commissions and marketplace fees. The platform targets poker and fantasy sports enthusiasts, offering a transparent and community-driven experience with live support and active Discord engagement. Partnerships with entities like Arizona State Poker Tournament and TrueDFS enhance its market reach. The company shows growth indicators through extensive user statistics and a large volume of staking packages sold. However, direct company contact information is not publicly available, which may impact some users' trust.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and employs Cloudflare for DDoS protection and CDN services. Security headers are present, and domain registration includes EPP status locks, indicating good domain security hygiene. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in security transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting responsible vulnerability reporting. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism detected, which may pose regulatory risks in certain jurisdictions.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  5. Enhance privacy policy with explicit GDPR compliance statements and data retention details.

Technical notes

Notes

StakeKings uses a modern technology stack centered on Next.js (React framework) with server-side rendering and static asset optimization. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is fast with preloaded CSS and deferred JavaScript loading. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph tags, and canonical URLs. No CMS detected, indicating a custom-built platform. The technical infrastructure supports scalability and a rich interactive user experience. Opportunities exist to improve DNS security and privacy compliance mechanisms.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
