US 12,525,093 B2 — Evidence inventory

Stake.com measured against the Granted United States Patent

Stake.com operates a real-money cryptocurrency sportsbook and casino outside the United States. Its relevance is to the real-value wagering, cryptocurrency-credit and account-limit limitations. It is presented separately from Stake.us and no inference is drawn that one system performs the functions of the other.

This rating reflects publicly observable functional correspondence to US 12,525,093 B2. It does not establish satisfaction of every limitation of an independent claim. 7 mandatory limitations of Claim 1 remain unestablished: C1-G, C1-J, C1-K, C1-L, C1-M, C1-N, C1-O.

These categories reflect the strength of publicly identified functional correspondence with elements of the Granted United States Patent. They do not represent infringement conclusions, legal probabilities or a determination that every limitation of an independent claim is satisfied. The rating bands and how they are applied are set out on the rating methodology page.

Key disclosures

Public statements closest to the granted claim language

C1-EKey evidence

Balances are funded and wagered in cryptocurrency; Stake states it "does not have a minimum or maximum deposit limit for any cryptocurrency".

Dependent Claims 2 / 11 address gambling credits comprising a platform cryptocurrency; C1-E addresses credits provided against an account.

C1-KKey evidence

Stake publishes gambling-limit tools allowing users to set deposit, loss and wager limits over defined periods.

C1-K requires a defined threshold on credits wagered in a predefined period. A user-elected wager limit is the closest publicly documented analogue; the claim limitation is a service-imposed constraint and this is not treated as equivalent.

What the Granted United States Patent expressly adds — US 12,525,093 B2

The following limitations are expressly claimed in the granted patent. They are set against what Stake.com publicly shows. Equivalent implementation has not been established from the public evidence reviewed.

A defined wagering threshold constraining credits wagered in a predefined period (C1-K).
Server-side detection of the minimal or zero-real-world-value pseudo-currency wagering condition (C1-L).
Mode-responsive reduction in the frequency and amount of real-world event updates (C1-M).
A consequent reduction in data transferred to that user across the communications network (C1-N).
Limitation of the results and related event data delivered while that condition subsists (C1-O).
