Universal Poker freerolls, on top of the freerolls Stake already runs.
How Stake Rakeback Works
Stake's own rakeback is the VIP Club. Universal Poker adds a Rake Chase on top, and the calculator keeps those two separate. See the full Stake deal.
Stake VIP, from Bronze
Stake does not run a poker-only rakeback ladder. Once an account has wagered $10,000 across the site it reaches Bronze, for life, and Stake pays 3.5% of poker rake. Switch Bronze on if that is you. A week of hands cannot tell us.
Rake Chase through Universal Poker
On top of that, our deal pays 5% of your monthly rake from $10 and 10% from $100. Stake pays it into your account the following month. Below $10 the chase pays nothing. With Bronze and the top tier together, that is 13.5%.
What the rake figure is based on
Cash games are 7%. The cap used here is the 3–4 player cap on our deal page. Tournaments use the standard 10% commission, which you can edit. Rake per 100 hands is an estimate, because Stake does not publish an average.
