Stake VIP levels explained: every threshold, every reward, and what they're actually worth

North Edge · Updated 2026-09-11 · Figures from Stake's VIP pages and help centre

Short version. Stake's VIP ladder has 15 levels from Bronze ($10,000 wagered) to Obsidian ($1 billion). Progress is lifetime wagering, not deposits, and sports bets count three times over. Every level from Bronze up earns rakeback of 3.5% of the house edge on each casino bet, plus a one-off level-up bonus, a weekly boost on Saturdays and a monthly bonus mid-month. A personal VIP host arrives at Platinum IV ($2.5 million). The rewards are real but small relative to the wagering that unlocks them, which is the whole point of reading the numbers before you chase a level.

Wagered means the total of every bet you have placed, win or lose, in USD-equivalent. Stake calls the units "points" in places; one point is one dollar wagered.

How progress is counted

Three rules matter. First, it is wagering, not deposits: $100 bet ten times counts $1,000. Second, sports bets count three times toward VIP progress, so $3,333 of sportsbook turnover moves the bar as far as $10,000 of casino play. Third, the game you play does not change your progress, only your cost. $10,000 through Dice at a 1% house edge and $10,000 through a 96% slot both count $10,000; one is expected to cost you $100, the other $400.

The progress bar on your VIP page shows the percentage between your current level and the next. Worked example: at Gold (from $100,000) with the bar at 30% toward Platinum I ($250,000), the gap is $150,000, so you have wagered $45,000 of it and $105,000 remains.

What you actually get

Rakeback: 3.5% of the house edge, every bet

This is the only reward with a published formula, so it is the one to plan around. Rakeback = wager × house edge × 3.5%. Stake's own example: 1 BTC wagered on a 2% house-edge game returns 0.0007 BTC, whether the bet won or lost. In dollars: $1,000 through a 1% Original returns $0.35; $1,000 through a 4% slot returns $1.40. It accrues per bet and you claim it from the VIP page whenever you like. It starts at Bronze, or from your first bet if you registered with an affiliate code and asked support to enable it.

Level-up bonus: one-off, indicative

Stake does not publish the amounts. Figures reported by players in 2026 run roughly $15 at Silver, $50 at Gold, $100 at Platinum I, $200 at Platinum II, $500 at Platinum III and $800 at Platinum IV. Treat them as ballpark; Stake says the amount depends on your level and recent activity.

Weekly boost and monthly bonus: formula not published

The weekly boost lands on Saturdays around 12:30 GMT through Stake's Telegram bot; the monthly bonus arrives by email around the 15th for the previous month. Both are calculated from your wagering in the period, your VIP level, your profit or loss and the house edge of what you played. Losing weeks tend to pay more than winning weeks. Nobody outside Stake has the formula, so anyone quoting you an exact percentage is guessing.

Reload: Platinum I and up

A claimable bonus available once every 24 hours, sized from your last 7 to 42 days of play depending on level. Time-limited at Platinum I to III, more or less permanent from Platinum IV.

What the rewards are worth against the cost

The honest comparison is rewards received versus expected loss to get there, which is wagering × house edge. To reach Bronze through 1% Originals you expect to lose about $100 and then earn rakeback worth $0.35 per $1,000 going forward. To reach Gold ($100,000) through slots at a 4% edge you expect to lose about $4,000; the level-up bonus reported for Gold is $50. Weekly and monthly bonuses add an unknown but modest amount on top. The ladder rewards volume; it does not turn a losing game into a winning one, and the maths only works in your favour if you were going to place those bets anyway.

The VIP calculator does this arithmetic for your own bet size and game mix, including the sports multiplier.

Questions people ask

How much do you need to wager to reach Bronze on Stake?

Does Stake VIP progress count deposits or bets?

Bets. Every wager counts its full amount, win or lose. Deposits do not count.

What is Stake rakeback?

A return of 3.5% of the house edge on every casino bet, credited per bet and claimable from the VIP page at any time. Wager × house edge × 3.5%. It starts at Bronze, or from the first bet with an affiliate code once support enables it.
