Stake.com: placed and settled bets for rewards
Stake.com is a crypto casino and sportsbook. Eligible sports bets count toward its 100% deposit wagering requirement only after the event ends and the bets settle. VIP progress, rakeback, and promotional bonuses have separate rules about which activity qualifies.
Updated
Acceptance comes before settlement
A submitted wager becomes a valid bet only when Stake confirms acceptance. Each valid bet receives a unique transaction code. An accepted sports bet can remain open while its event is in progress or its result awaits verification.
Players can’t cancel a placed bet. Edit Bet permits changes where the feature is available, while Cashout can close selected bets early. Availability depends on the bet and market.
How sports-bet outcomes affect progress
| Bet state or outcome | Effect on wagering or rewards |
|---|---|
| Accepted and still open | Placement alone doesn’t count toward the deposit wagering requirement. Sports bets count after the event ends and the bet settles. |
| Normally settled as a win or loss | Qualifying wagering counts toward the deposit requirement after the event ends. For a rakeback-eligible account, a qualifying sports bet can earn rakeback whether it wins or loses. |
| Voided | Excluded from wagered totals and VIP progress. Voided sports bets are also ineligible for rakeback and the Monthly Subscription Bonus. |
| Cashed out | A successful Cashout credits the accepted Cashout amount to the account. Cashed-out sports bets are ineligible for rakeback and the Monthly Subscription Bonus. |
Deposit wagering and VIP progress use different measures
The withdrawal condition requires wagering equal to 100% of each deposit’s value, for both crypto and fiat withdrawals. The tracking bar on the withdrawal page shows how much wagering remains. An open sports bet hasn’t met the settlement condition needed to contribute to that progress.
For VIP progress, $1 wagered on sports is treated as $3 of regular wagering. The account’s VIP percentage and its withdrawal tracker report progress toward different requirements; a higher VIP percentage doesn’t establish that a deposit is ready for withdrawal.
Delayed results and voided combinations
If a market’s outcome can’t be verified, Stake may delay settlement pending official confirmation. It may void the market if official verification isn’t possible. Postponement and abandonment follow the applicable sport and market rules; a market whose outcome was fully determined before abandonment can still stand.
A voided single bet is settled at odds of 1, returning its wagered amount. For combination bets, the effect depends on the structure:
- In a standard multi-bet, the voided selection is settled at odds of 1. If the remaining selections win, the payout uses their remaining odds.
- In a Same Game Multi, one voided selection voids that entire Same Game Multi.
- In a combined bet containing multiple Same Game Multis, each Same Game Multi is a separate leg. Only the affected Same Game Multi is voided, the other legs stand, and the combined odds are recalculated. Within the affected Same Game Multi, the void takes precedence over other selection results, including losses.
The sportsbook rules also allow Stake to correct an incorrect settlement after it has been recorded.
Cashout depends on live availability
The Cashout offer can be above or below the original stake. After a successful Cashout, the event’s final result no longer affects that bet, although Stake can reverse a Cashout settlement made in error.
Cashout is available on selected pre-match and live single and multi-bets. Same Game Multis are excluded, and player-prop Cashout is limited to pre-match. A suspended market blocks Cashout, while suspension or odds changes during the processing delay can make an attempt fail.
Live-odds coverage also matters. If Cashout is offered before an event but the odds provider doesn’t cover that event live, the option becomes unavailable once the event starts. An earlier offer doesn’t guarantee that the same exit will remain available.
Placement deadlines still matter for bonuses
Regular weekly and monthly VIP bonuses depend on VIP rank, wagering during the relevant period, profit values, and the house edge of the games played. Qualifying monthly bonuses are distributed by email. Settlement of a single bet doesn’t determine all of those inputs.
The Monthly Subscription Bonus is a separate promotion. Participation requires marketing-email enrolment, receipt of that month’s invitation, a previous deposit, and the specified fiat or cryptocurrency wagering amount on that month’s featured market. Qualifying bets must be placed before the relevant market closes or its outcome is declared. Cashed-out and voided bets don’t qualify.
The promotion’s requirements change by month. Bonuses may be sent at any point during the month using wagering activity up to that point. Its placement deadline and eligibility conditions apply separately from the settlement rule used for deposit wagering.
Claiming a reward and withdrawing a balance
Earned rakeback is claimed through the Rakeback tab on the VIP page. A claimable reward doesn’t establish withdrawal eligibility. The deposit wagering requirement still applies, along with verification of the account holder, ownership of the withdrawal destination, and any additional information that Stake requests.
Where Stake reasonably suspects a breach of its terms or applicable law, an account investigation can delay or prevent withdrawal. Completing wagering progress therefore doesn’t guarantee immediate payment.
