What the weekly bonus is
The weekly bonus, also called the weekly boost, is a VIP reward posted once a week. It goes to VIP players who played within the last week.
Bronze is the first rank with access to it. The full ladder of ranks is set out under VIP Club.
Why no weekly bonus calculator can be exact
The operator names the inputs of the weekly bonus but publishes no formula or percentages. A "Stake weekly bonus calculator" can only estimate the amount.
The missing parts are the rate for each rank and the house-edge scale for each game type. Two accounts with the same weekly wager can receive different amounts when their ranks or game mix differ.
Factors behind the weekly bonus
Three inputs set the amount, and the claim currency affects its value.
- VIP rank at the time of calculation;
- the amount wagered over the last 7 days, counted from Saturday 00:00 GMT (05:30 IST);
- the house edge of the games played, with higher-edge games giving a higher bonus percentage;
- a claim in crypto gives more value than other currency options.
A higher percentage on high-edge games does not offset the edge. A bonus never changes a game's house edge: each game keeps its published RTP with or without it.
Saturday timing
The weekly cycle runs on GMT. In India the drop lands on Saturday evening.
| Moment | GMT | IST | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 00:00 | 05:30 | The 7-day wager count starts |
| Saturday | 12:30 | 18:00 | The bonus is posted in the private VIP Telegram channel |
| Sunday | 12:30 | 18:00 | 24 hours later, the bonus can be claimed in the VIP tab |
| 3 months after posting | — | — | The bonus link expires |
Where the weekly bonus appears
The first copy appears in the private VIP Telegram channel. Other routes open a day later or cover accounts without Telegram.
- the private VIP Telegram channel, at 12:30 GMT (18:00 IST) on Saturday;
- the VIP tab on the site, 24 hours after posting;
- Support → News, where the link is posted for players without Telegram access;
- Account → Transactions → Bonuses → Unclaimed Promotional, which shows the four latest unclaimed bonuses.
No wagering requirement
Funds from the weekly bonus carry no wagering requirement. They can be withdrawn as long as the amount is above the minimum withdrawal limit for the currency.
Deposit bonuses follow a different rule: a rollover set at a 4% house edge, with sportsbook bets contributing $0.75 for every $1 wagered. A game with a 1% edge completes such a requirement 4× slower, at $0.25 per $1. The weekly bonus has none of this.
Bonus streak and eligibility
A bonus streak is the number of consecutive weekly or monthly bonuses claimed on time. It is a counter and carries no separate reward.
Eligibility is limited to VIP players who played within the last week. The monthly bonus uses its own criteria, including a verified e-mail address.
Rules and limits
The weekly bonus is part of the VIP system and follows the Terms of Service. Rakeback accrues separately on every bet.
Bonus timing is a fact about the reward system, not a reason to play on a schedule. Help with gambling problems is free on Tele-MANAS 14416, around the clock. Account limits and breaks are listed under loss limits and self-exclusion, and the PROG Act, 2025 is summarised under Indian gaming law.
