This Stake weekly bonus calculator estimates your next Stake.com weekly bonus from three inputs: what you wagered in the last 7 days, the average house edge of the games you played and your VIP rank. Stake's week starts Saturday 00:00 GMT, and that is the window the tool above works with.
The result is our estimate, not Stake's own number. Stake confirms that the weekly bonus depends on VIP rank, 7-day wager and house edge, but it does not publish the exact formula. So this weekly bonus calculator for Stake works from expected loss: your wager multiplied by the house edge, which is what the house keeps on average. Read the range the Stake weekly calculator shows as a guide, because the real bonus can land above or below it.

How to use the Stake weekly calculator
To calculate your Stake weekly bonus, fill in three fields above: your wager for the current week, the average house edge of what you played and your VIP level. The tool then returns three results, explained in the table further down.
What to enter
- Wagered amount since Saturday 00:00 GMT. Count the total of your bets, not your deposits. Depositing $500 and cycling it through a few hundred spins can add up to a wager far larger than $500, and the wager is the figure Stake looks at.
- Average house edge. If a game shows only its RTP, subtract it from 100%: a game listed at 97% RTP has a 3% house edge. For a mix of games, use a rough average weighted toward where most of your wager went. If you only bet on the sportsbook, enter 3%, the default edge Stake itself applies to sports bets when it works out rakeback.
- Current VIP level. Pick the rank shown on your VIP progress bar right now. This field is what makes it a Stake VIP weekly bonus calculator, because rank is one of the factors Stake names.
How to read the results
| Result | What it means | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Expected loss | Wager x house edge: what the week cost you on average, whatever your actual win or loss was | Treat it as the price of the week's play and the base the estimate grows from |
| Estimated bonus range | The tool's estimate scaled from expected loss, not a figure from Stake and not a promise | Use it to set expectations for Saturday. The real bonus can land outside the range |
| Effective rakeback | 3.5% of the house edge on every wager, earned win or lose | Count it on its own line. Rakeback is paid separately and is not part of the weekly bonus |
How Stake calculates the weekly bonus
Stake calculates the weekly bonus from a short list of factors it names in its Help Center, but it keeps the actual math private. Here is how the Stake weekly bonus works according to Stake itself, and where the official answer stops.
What Stake confirms
Stake describes these as "some of the details" taken into account, so the list may not be complete:
- Your VIP rank. The tier you hold when the bonus is worked out.
- Your wager in the last 7 days. The count starts each Saturday at 00:00 GMT.
- The house edge of the games you play. Games with a higher edge earn a higher weekly bonus percentage than games with a lower edge.
- An unlucky week. If the week went badly, Stake says you might receive a bit extra on top of the weekly bonus.
- The claim currency. Taking the bonus in crypto gives more value than other currency options.
What Stake does not publish, and why we use expected loss
There is no official formula and no list of percentages per tier. Any formula or per-tier percentage table you see printed elsewhere, however precise it looks, is a guess.
What can be measured is expected loss: wager multiplied by house edge, the amount the house expects to keep from your week. The factors Stake names move that figure: more wager raises it, and so does a higher house edge. That makes expected loss the most honest base available for anyone asking how the Stake weekly bonus is calculated, so the calculator above scales its range from it, with your VIP level as the third input.
The output is still an estimate. Stake decides the final figure, and your real weekly bonus can come in higher or lower than the range shows.
Worked examples: wager, house edge and expected loss
Stake does not publish a weekly bonus amount for any wager or tier, so the honest way to answer "how much is my Stake weekly bonus" is to work out the figures it is built on. The three weeks below use example house edges as inputs, not claims about any specific game.
| Example week | Wagered (7 days) | Average house edge (example input) | Expected loss | Rakeback at 3.5% of edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | $5,000 | 4% | $5,000 x 4% = $200 | $200 x 3.5% = $7.00 |
| B | $20,000 | 1% | $20,000 x 1% = $200 | $200 x 3.5% = $7.00 |
| C | $10,000 sportsbook | 3% (Stake's default sports edge for rakeback) | $10,000 x 3% = $300 | $300 x 3.5% = $10.50 |
Weeks A and B land on the same $200 expected loss, even though B put four times as much money through the games. Stake says higher-edge play earns a higher weekly bonus percentage, so a big wager on low-edge games does not by itself mean a bigger Stake weekly bonus amount. Wager size and house edge have to be read together, and that is how to calculate the weekly bonus base for Stake: multiply one by the other.
The rakeback column follows Stake's own reference case: 1 BTC wagered at a 2% edge returns 0.0007 BTC (1 x 2% x 3.5%). Week C uses the 3% edge Stake applies to sports bets for rakeback only. Enter any of these rows in the calculator above to see the range it gives for your VIP level.
Weekly bonus timing: when the week starts and when the bonus lands
The Stake weekly bonus lands every Saturday at 12:30 GMT, and the wager that counts toward it is measured from Saturday 00:00 GMT. Keep the counting window and the send time apart.
A bet placed on a Sunday falls inside the week that runs up to the following Saturday's drop. That is the bonus the calculator above estimates when you enter your wager since Saturday 00:00 GMT.
| Event | Time (GMT) | What it means for your estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Wager window starts | Saturday 00:00 | Enter only wagers placed since then |
| Bonus posted in the VIP Telegram channel | Saturday 12:30 (may be a few minutes late) | This is the drop your estimate is for |
| Claimable from the VIP tab | 24 hours after release | A fallback if you miss the Telegram post |
| Link expires | 3 months after posting | No rush to claim, but don't forget it |
Stake uses two names for the same reward. Its Help Center calls it the weekly bonus in most articles, while the VIP rewards list and the promotions page call it the Weekly Boost, posted "each week on Saturday at 12:30pm GMT". Either name means the same Saturday drop and the same timing.
How to claim the Stake weekly bonus (and find a missed link)
You claim the Stake weekly bonus by clicking the link Stake posts in its private VIP Telegram channel. There is no code to type, and if you miss the post, the same bonus can still be reached from your account.
Claim from the VIP Telegram channel or VIP tab
- Open the private VIP Telegram channel. Access opens at Bronze, and you need the Telegram app installed.
- Click the link in Saturday's post. The Stake Telegram weekly bonus link sends you straight to Stake.
- Pick the coin to credit the funds in. Stake says a crypto claim gives more value than other currency options.
Missed the Stake weekly bonus Telegram post? The same Weekly Boost becomes claimable from the VIP tab 24 hours after release. If Telegram is unavailable in your country, open Support and click the News icon (the megaphone), where Stake places its latest announcements and your bonus link.
Missed a weekly bonus?
- Every Stake weekly bonus link stays valid for 3 months from the moment it is posted, so an older link may still work.
- Go to Account > Transactions > Bonuses > Unclaimed Promotional. It lists your last 4 unclaimed weekly bonuses that are still eligible for redemption.
- If a bonus does not show there, Stake says it may still be valid where you first received it.
Streak and withdrawal
Each on-time weekly claim adds a checkpoint to your weekly streak in the Claim Bonus window. Skip a week and the streak restarts from your next claim, while claiming early never breaks it. The streak carries no separate reward.
A Stake weekly bonus claim comes with no wagering requirement. The funds can be withdrawn as soon as the amount is above the minimum withdrawal limit.
Who gets a weekly bonus and what moves the estimate
Stake sends the weekly bonus to VIP players who have played within the last week. You join the VIP Club at Bronze once your total wager reaches $10,000, so a Stake Bronze weekly bonus is the first one you can receive.
Stake's official benefits table ticks weekly bonuses at every tier: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Bonus growth starts at Silver. Stake attaches no amount to any tier, so the Stake VIP weekly bonus calculator above asks for your level rather than a fixed payout.
Four inputs push the estimate up or down:
- VIP rank. A level-up between Saturdays changes the rank the next bonus is based on.
- 7-day wager. Only bets placed since Saturday 00:00 GMT count toward the coming drop.
- House edge. The same wager on higher-edge games raises expected loss and, per Stake, the bonus percentage.
- An unlucky week. Stake may add a little extra; the tool cannot model it.
A bigger estimate always comes from a bigger expected loss, and that loss costs real money on average, so wagering to chase the weekly bonus loses money in expectation.
- /stake/vip-calculator/ shows how far you are from your next level.
- /stake/vip-levels/ lists every tier and its wager threshold.
- /stake/monthly-bonus-calculator/ estimates the monthly bonus with its own calculator.
