Rakeback value calculator
Enter your monthly volume and the programme’s terms. This returns what the rakeback is actually worth next to the one decision that dwarfs it: which game you play.

The structural limit
Rakeback is computed from the house’s advantage, so it can shrink your cost but never invert it. No rate below 100% of the edge makes a negative-expectation game positive. →
How this is calculated
- Expected cost = wagered × house edge.
- Rakeback = wagered × edge × rate (percentage-of-edge programmes, as Stake documents) or wagered × rate (percentage-of-turnover programmes).
- The switch comparison applies the same rakeback terms at both edges and compares net costs.
- Expected value only — variance, tier bonuses and negotiated rates are not modelled, and unpublished VIP rates are not assumed.
