How to Claim Your Stake Weekly Bonus (Step by Step)
The Stake weekly bonus sounds simple but there are a few things that trip people up. Here's exactly how to claim it and what to expect.
The weekly bonus is one of those things Stake doesn't explain particularly well
You qualify for it, you get a notification, and then half the time you're clicking around wondering where it actually lives. So let me just walk you through the whole thing, including the bits that are mildly annoying.
This is based on real use. Not a press release.
What the Stake weekly bonus actually is
The weekly bonus is a cash reward that Stake gives out every week to players who've been wagering on the platform. It's part of the VIP structure, meaning you need to have reached at least Bronze level to start seeing it. The amount scales with your tier and your wagering volume over the previous week.
It's not a deposit match. No free spins. Just straight-up bonus money, which I personally prefer because at least you know what you're getting.
The percentages aren't publicly listed anywhere obvious, which is a bit irritating. What I can tell you is that at lower VIP tiers the weekly amount is pretty modest, often a few dollars if you're not putting through serious volume. It gets more meaningful once you're into Gold and Platinum territory. So if you're a casual player depositing $50 a week, don't expect to retire on this one.
How to actually claim it
This is the part people get confused about. The bonus doesn't always auto-credit. You usually have to manually claim it, and missing the window means you lose it.
Here's the process:
- Log into your Stake account and go to the VIP Club section (top right of the dashboard, under your username)
- Click on "Bonuses" or "Weekly Bonus" depending on what's showing
- You'll see a claim button if your bonus is available. Hit it.
- The funds land in your main balance immediately, no wagering requirement attached
- If you don't see anything there, the bonus window may not have opened yet or you may not have met the minimum wagering threshold for that week
The bonus typically becomes available around the same time each week, but Stake runs on UTC and the window can shift slightly. If you claimed it before, roughly the same time the following week is a reasonable guide.
One thing worth knowing: the claim window doesn't stay open forever. I've seen people post about missing it because they assumed it would just sit there. It won't. Check in when it becomes available.
What's good about it
No wagering requirements. That's the main thing. You claim it, it's yours, you can withdraw it if you want. For a casino bonus that's genuinely rare. Most places attach 30x or 40x wagering to their weekly promos, which turns the "bonus" into a long grind where variance usually eats you alive before you ever see a withdrawal.
The fact that it's predictable also helps. You know it's coming, roughly when, roughly how much (based on your tier). It's not exciting money but it's reliable.
What's annoying
The opaque scaling. Stake doesn't publish a clear table showing "if you wager X at Gold tier, you get Y". You're sort of finding out what you get when you claim it. That might be intentional on their part. Still frustrating if you're trying to plan.
Also, if you're a lower-tier player, the amounts can feel a bit underwhelming compared to the rakeback you might earn through affiliate codes. Speaking of which, if you signed up with promo code RAZOR, your rakeback rate is already boosted, and that compounds week over week more noticeably than the weekly bonus does at early tiers.
Who this bonus is actually for
Honestly? It rewards consistency more than big single-session play. If you're the type who plays a bit most days, your wagering volume adds up in a way that big-once-a-month sessions don't. The weekly structure suits regular players.
If you play heavily on weekends and go quiet for two weeks, your weekly bonus might be smaller than you'd expect given your total deposits. The calculation is based on recent wagering, not lifetime spend.
Casual players will find it nice but not meaningful. Mid-tier VIPs who are consistent will probably get the most value proportionally. At the top tiers (Diamond, up) the weekly bonus is one of several regular payments that start to add up to real money, though getting there requires serious volume over time.
The weekly bonus on its own probably isn't a reason to choose Stake over somewhere else. But if you're already using the platform, claiming it every single week on time is just free money sitting there. Missing it because you forgot to log in is the one thing I'd actually tell you not to do.
If you haven't signed up yet, use code RAZOR when you register to get the boosted rakeback rate, which will likely outpace the weekly bonus in value over the long run anyway.
