How Stake.com’s weekly bonus actually works
The weekly bonus is the fastest-moving piece of Stake’s VIP program. Where the monthly drop rewards a full month of volume, the weekly boost resets every 7 days, so it’s the number most active VIPs watch closest week to week.
Per Stake’s Help Center, three things decide your weekly bonus: your VIP rank, your wagered amount over the last 7 days (the window starts each Saturday at 00:00 GMT), and the house edge of the games you played. Games with a higher house edge produce a higher weekly bonus percentage, and Stake notes that players who ran unusually unlucky that week can see extra value added on top. Stake doesn’t publish the exact formula, so the calculator above combines your rank’s tier base with a wager-based accrual to give a directional min / expected / max range rather than a guaranteed figure.
How VIP levels stack into the weekly drop
Your VIP rank sets the floor before any wager-based accrual is added. The published tier base looks like this:
| VIP rank | Sports weekly base | Casino weekly 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 |
Weekly bonus vs. monthly bonus: what’s the difference
Both bonuses draw on the same published VIP tier schedule, but the wager window and delivery method are different. The weekly bonus uses a 7-day window and lands every Saturday via the VIP Telegram channel. The monthly bonus uses a 30-day window, generally lands once a month around the 15th, and arrives by email instead of Telegram. If you’re trying to plan VIP cashflow, run the Stake.com monthly bonus calculator alongside this one. Both drops add to your real take-home, and neither replaces the other.
When is the weekly bonus actually paid, and how do I claim it?
Stake’s Help Center puts the weekly boost on a consistent schedule: every Saturday, around 12:30pm GMT, posted in the private VIP channel on Telegram. The 7-day wager window it’s calculated from resets at 00:00 GMT that same Saturday. Once the link is posted, you click it and choose which coin to credit the funds in. If Telegram isn’t available where you are, the same link appears in the News section, reachable through the megaphone icon inside Support.
Miss it, and it isn’t gone. Stake’s Help Center points to Account → Transactions → Bonuses → Unclaimed Promotional, which keeps your last 4 eligible weekly bonuses available to claim after the fact.
How to actually claim the weekly bonus
- Join the VIP Telegram channel.That’s where Stake posts the weekly link each Saturday around 12:30pm GMT. If Telegram isn’t available in your region, check the News section via the megaphone icon in Support instead.
- Click the link and pick your coin. Stake credits the funds to whichever currency you select. Claiming in cryptocurrency reportedly delivers more value than other currency options.
- Check Unclaimed Promotional if you missed it. Account → Transactions → Bonuses → Unclaimed Promotional holds your last 4 eligible weekly bonuses, so a missed Saturday isn’t necessarily a lost bonus.

FAQ
When is Stake.com's weekly bonus paid?
Every Saturday, around 12:30pm GMT. Per Stake's Help Center, the weekly boost is posted in the private VIP channel on Telegram, and the 7-day wager window it's based on resets each Saturday at 00:00 GMT. If Telegram isn't available in your region, you can find the same link in the News section, accessible via the megaphone icon inside Support.
How is the weekly bonus calculated?
Stake's Help Center lists three inputs: your VIP rank, your wagered amount over the last 7 days, and the house edge of the games you played. Games with a higher house edge produce a higher weekly bonus percentage, and players who ran unusually unlucky that week can receive extra value on top. Stake does not publish an exact formula, so the calculator above gives a directional estimate from your rank's tier base plus a wager-based accrual. Treat the output as a ballpark, and note that claiming in cryptocurrency reportedly nets more value than other currencies.
What is the Stake weekly bonus calculator for?
It estimates the weekly VIP boost you're likely to see based on your VIP level, whether you're modelling sports or casino wagers, your wager amount over the current 7-day window, and whether you ran a net win or net loss. It returns a minimum, expected, and maximum figure since Stake's exact accrual rate isn't public.
How does the weekly bonus differ from the monthly bonus?
Both draw on the same published VIP tier schedule, but the wager window and delivery are different. The weekly bonus uses a 7-day window and lands every Saturday via Telegram; the monthly bonus uses a 30-day window, generally lands once a month around the 15th, and arrives by email instead. If you want to see how the two compare side by side, run the Stake.com monthly bonus calculator with the same wager and rank.
Do casino and sports wagers count toward the same weekly bonus?
No, they're tracked separately. Casino turnover feeds the casino weekly bonus, and sports turnover feeds the sports weekly bonus, each with its own tier base and accrual. The Product toggle in the calculator switches between the two so you can model whichever side of your account you're optimising.
What happens if I miss the weekly bonus link?
You can still find it. Stake's Help Center points to Account → Transactions → Bonuses → Unclaimed Promotional, which keeps your last 4 eligible weekly bonuses available to claim. It's worth checking that section periodically if you're not active in the VIP Telegram channel every Saturday.
Does this calculator work for Stake.us?
Not directly, and we want to be upfront about that. Stake.us is the US sweepstakes-model version of the site: its weekly bonus pays out in Gold Coins and Stake Cash rather than real-money-style wagering, even though it's released on the same Saturday-around-12:30pm-GMT schedule via Telegram, per Stake's own Help Center. The VIP tier base this calculator uses is built for Stake.com's real-money model, so running Stake.us numbers through it wouldn't be accurate. We haven't built a Stake.us-specific version of this tool yet.
Does signing up via VolumeBetting change the weekly bonus?
No. The VIP schedule, weekly tier base, and accrual mechanics are identical no matter 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 change your VIP progression in any way.
