Stake Games teams up with Trinbago Knight Riders as Official Cricket Partner

February 27, 2026 | Partnerships

Stake has announced a new partnership with the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR), becoming the team’s Official Cricket Partner as the franchise looks ahead to another Caribbean Premier League (CPL) campaign.

A partnership built around CPL’s most decorated franchise

Based in Trinidad and Tobago, TKR are one of the most recognisable teams in franchise T20 cricket. On its sponsorship page, Stake highlights the Knight Riders’ reputation for explosive batting, sharp bowling, and a “carnival” atmosphere around matchdays—elements that have helped shape the team into a true cultural phenomenon across the Caribbean.

The timing also makes sense: TKR won the 2025 Caribbean Premier League title, defeating the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final (a record-extending fifth CPL trophy).

What fans can expect

According to Stake, the collaboration is designed to bring supporters closer to the action through a mix of content and offers tied to the season. In practical terms, that includes:

Exclusive promotions connected to TKR and cricket events
Cricket betting opportunities via Stake’s sportsbook ecosystem
VIP access and special fan experiences (as presented on Stake’s partnership page)
Free live streaming of TKR games for eligible users on Stake

Stake also frames the partnership as a run-up to the 2026 season, where the Knight Riders will aim to defend their crown and go back-to-back.

Why this matters for sports betting audiences

Cricket continues to grow as a global betting vertical, and high-profile franchise leagues like the CPL attract action thanks to short-format volatility (T20) and star-heavy squads. By aligning with a top-performing franchise, Stake is clearly positioning itself to deepen engagement with cricket fans through team-led campaigns, promotions, and content designed around key fixtures and moments.
