Stake bonuses guide

Quick answer

Stake documents several reward types. Their existence and eligibility are public, but the exact amounts depend on account activity and are not published as a fixed formula.

The documented reward types

Public documentation describes rakeback, weekly bonuses, monthly bonuses, reload bonuses and level up rewards. Rakeback returns a share of the house edge your wagering generates, while weekly and monthly bonuses are periodic rewards tied to recent activity.

  • Rakeback: share of generated house edge, claimable by eligible accounts.
  • Weekly and monthly bonuses: periodic, activity dependent.
  • Reload bonus: available at higher levels.
  • Level up reward: granted on reaching a new level.

Why exact amounts cannot be calculated

No public formula maps a wager total to a weekly or monthly bonus amount. Amounts depend on activity, game mix, results and discretionary factors. We label the exact formula as not publicly specified rather than inventing one.

What can be calculated exactly is the value your wagering generates for the operator, which is total wager multiplied by house edge. Any rebate is a fraction of that figure, which is why the bonus estimator anchors its range to it.

Frequently asked questions

Is rakeback the same as a bonus?
No. Rakeback is a rebate on house edge already generated. Bonuses are separate rewards granted periodically or on reaching a level.
Do bonuses make wagering profitable?
No. At realistic rebate rates the expected value of wagering stays negative, because the rebate is only a fraction of the house edge.
