Stake Monthly Bonus Calculator

A rough estimate of your next monthly bonus. Works for Stake.us too: 1 Stake Cash counts as $1.

Disclaimer

Stake doesn't publish its monthly bonus formula. It says the bonus depends on VIP rank, your play over the period, your profit and the house edge of your games, and that losing months can be boosted. We turn those inputs into an estimate, so the real figure can differ. Betaro isn't connected to Stake.

About the Stake Monthly Bonus

The monthly bonus is a cash reward Stake emails to VIP players once a month. It starts at Bronze, the first VIP level, and it's worked out from how you played since the previous monthly bonus. It runs alongside the weekly bonus rather than replacing it.

The same calculator covers the Stake.us monthly bonus, since Stake.us uses the same VIP ladder. Enter Stake Cash amounts as if they were dollars.

How the Monthly Bonus Is Calculated

Stake hasn't published the formula, but its help center lists what goes in: VIP rank, your play since the last monthly bonus (or the past 30 days), your profit for the period and the house edge of your games. Losing months can get a boost. Our estimate is built from those pieces:

1. Expected house win = wagered this period × the game's house edge
2. Starting bonus = a share of that expected win, plus a little for raw volume
3. VIP adjustment = starting bonus × your level's factor (1.00 at Bronze up to 1.70 at Obsidian)
4. Bad-luck top-up = extra when you lost more than the house edge predicted
Estimate = VIP-adjusted bonus + bad-luck top-up, trimmed slightly after a winning month

A quick example: $100,000 wagered on slots at a 4% edge is about $4,000 the house expects to keep. Wager the same on Limbo at 1% and that drops to $1,000, so the bonus comes out noticeably smaller even though you bet just as much.

When Stake Monthly Bonuses Drop

There's no fixed day. Stake says the monthly bonus usually goes out around the middle of the month and the date moves around. Don't plan around any single date.

  • Period it covers: your play since the last monthly bonus, or the past 30 days.
  • How it arrives: by email, not in the Telegram channel.

How to Claim Your Stake Monthly Bonus

  1. Verify the email address on your Stake account.
  2. Stay subscribed to Stake's emails. Unsubscribing takes you out of the monthly bonus.
  3. When the bonus goes out, open the email and follow the claim link while logged in to Stake.

Nothing by the end of the month? Check spam and promotions first. Stake's position is that no email means no bonus that month, but support can confirm whether your address is set up correctly.

Factors That Affect Your Monthly Bonus Amount

  • Amount wagered. Everything you bet since the previous monthly bonus counts.
  • House edge. Slots at 3-4% build the bonus faster than Originals at around 1% or blackjack at less.
  • VIP level. A higher level pays more for the same month of play.
  • Your result. A losing month can be boosted. A winning month usually pays somewhat less.

Estimating Your Bonus Before the 15th

The calculator is most useful a few days before the email is due, once most of the period's play is done. Enter what you've wagered since your last monthly bonus and how you're doing overall, and you'll get a sense of what's coming.

Stake sometimes sends extra bonuses just before or just after the monthly one, which it calls pre-monthly and post-monthly bonuses. Its help center is clear that these are random and not promised every month, so the calculator doesn't include them.

Tips to Maximize Your Stake Monthly Bonus

  • Keep your email working. It's the only way the bonus reaches you, and it's the most common reason players miss out.
  • Don't wager extra to raise it. It hands back a small part of your expected loss. Chasing a bigger bonus costs more than it returns.
  • Track your level. The Stake VIP Calculator shows how close the next level is, and each level lifts the bonus.
  • Don't forget the weekly one. It comes every Saturday through Telegram. Our weekly bonus calculator estimates that too.
