How Stake.com’s monthly bonus actually works
The monthly bonus is the quiet engine of Stake’s VIP program. Most new players obsess over the daily and weekly drops, but the monthly payout is where the per-tier base really compounds. Bronze pays a modest top-up; once you hit Platinum II and beyond, the monthly drop on its own can clear four figures with even moderate wager volume.
Two inputs decide your number: your VIP rank and your net wager over the last 30 days. Stake adds a flat tier base (Bronze $20, Silver $40, scaling up to Diamond $200 on sports; lower base for casino) to a small accrual percentage of your turnover. On a net-loss month, the accrual divisor is roughly 1/500 of wager — a $250,000 month therefore adds ~$500 of accrual on top of the tier base.
How VIP levels stack into the monthly drop
The tier base is the lever you should care about long term. Wager volume can spike or dip month to month, but your VIP rank locks in a guaranteed minimum. Holding Platinum III gives you a $120 sports / $60 casino floor before any wagering even happens — the calculator above shows exactly how much your current rank contributes versus your accrual.
The published table looks like this:
| VIP rank | Sports monthly base | Casino monthly base |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | $20 | $10 |
| Silver | $40 | $20 |
| Gold | $60 | $30 |
| Platinum | $80 | $40 |
| Platinum II | $100 | $50 |
| Platinum III | $120 | $60 |
| Platinum IV | $140 | $70 |
| Platinum V | $160 | $80 |
| Platinum VI | $180 | $90 |
| Diamond | $200 | $100 |
Monthly bonus vs. weekly bonus — which is bigger?
For roughly equivalent turnover, the monthly drop is meaningfully larger than the weekly. The weekly bonus uses a 7-day wager window with a smaller tier base; the monthly uses a 30-day window and a roughly 4× tier multiplier. If you’re trying to plan VIP cashflow, run the weekly bonus calculator alongside this one — both numbers add to your real take-home.
How to actually claim the monthly bonus
- Log in on the 1st of the month.The bonus is queued automatically and appears in your inbox between 00:00 and 02:00 UTC. You don’t need to contact support unless it fails to land within 24 hours.
- Hit the “Claim” button in the message. The amount lands in your withdrawable balance immediately — there is no rollover requirement on the standard monthly bonus.
- Watch your VIP rank.If you’ve moved up a tier mid-month, the bonus uses the rank you held when the calculation cut-off ran (typically the last 24 hours of the month). The calculator’s ranges (90% / expected / 110%) account for this transition variance.

FAQ
When is Stake.com's monthly bonus paid out?
Stake's monthly bonus drops on the 1st of every month, normally between 00:00 and 02:00 UTC. The amount you see is calculated from the rolling 30-day wager total recorded against your VIP account, so a strong end-of-month push can pull a higher tier into the next drop.
How is the monthly bonus calculated?
Stake combines two things: a base amount tied to your current VIP rank (Bronze through Diamond), and an accrual percentage of the wager you've put through over the prior 30 days. The calculator above mirrors Stake's published formula: roughly wager × 0.08% on a net loss, plus the tier base. Your actual amount can land 10% above or below the projection depending on game RTP variance.
Is the monthly bonus separate from the weekly bonus?
Yes. The weekly bonus drops every Monday and uses a 7-day wager window with a smaller base. The monthly bonus uses a 30-day window with roughly 4× the tier base. You receive both — the monthly does not replace the weekly. Many high-volume bettors treat the monthly bonus as the primary edge in their VIP cashflow.
Do casino and sports wagers count toward the same monthly bonus?
They are tracked separately. Casino turnover feeds the casino monthly bonus pot, and sports turnover feeds the sports monthly bonus pot — each with its own tier base and accrual divisor. The toggle in the calculator switches between the two so you can model whichever side of your account you're optimising.
Does signing up via VolumeBetting change the monthly bonus?
No. The VIP schedule, monthly base, and accrual percentages are identical regardless of how you reach Stake. Using our affiliate link only attaches our marketing code to your account so we get credit for the referral — it does not reduce your bonus or shorten your VIP progression in any way.
What's the highest realistic monthly bonus?
Diamond-tier sports players with seven-figure monthly turnover typically receive monthly bonuses in the $5,000–$15,000 range, before any reload promos. Casino-side Diamond bonuses skew higher because the accrual divisor is more aggressive on net losses. The model in this calculator caps at the published tiers — Stake also runs negotiated VIP packages above Diamond, which the public formula does not cover.
