Where do you enter a Stake referral code?
At registration, use the referral link or enter save5 in the optional code field. If you have already registered, the next step depends on your account’s age and existing referral relationship. To refer other people, find your own referral code or link.
No account yet
- Check Stake.com availability and the operator’s current account requirements.
- Open the referral link above and go directly to signup. Check Code (Optional): a code entered manually takes priority over the referral link.
- Before making a deposit for this offer, confirm the active campaign, total rate and applicable conditions in your account or with Stake’s official support.
The official affiliate instructions explain attribution. A referral link alone is not proof that the advertised reward applies to your account.
Registered within 24 hours
- Sign in to your existing account and open Stake’s Offers page.
- Enter save5 and submit it within 24 hours of account creation.
- Read the account’s response and check which offer terms apply.
Stake’s welcome guide describes this route for a valid code. It does not establish that you can replace an existing affiliate or independently confirm the save5 campaign.
Check the after-signup conditionsAccount older than 24 hours
The published code-entry window has closed. If you used a code at signup but the expected access is missing, contact Stake’s official support from your existing account. Clicking another referral link does not establish that an existing account’s affiliate can be changed.
Instructions are based on Stake’s public welcome and affiliate help articles, checked 17 September 2026. We have not completed an account-redemption test of save5.
How much is 3.5% total rakeback worth?
The casino formula is eligible wager × game house edge × 3.5%. For $1,000 wagered at a 2% house edge, the calculation uses a $20 basis and returns $0.70. It does not return $35.
Rakeback rate: 3.5% of the house-edge basis.
To find available rakeback in your account, open VIP → Rakeback. Stake’s official guide includes the menu screenshots. The amount and rate shown in your eligible account determine what you can claim.
How the house edge changes the amount
| Game house edge | House-edge basis | Rakeback at 3.5% |
|---|---|---|
| 1% | $10.00 | $0.35 |
| 2% | $20.00 | $0.70 |
| 5% | $50.00 | $1.75 |
We use the standard rate in Stake’s public help. No additional or higher rate is established for this code. A higher house edge also means a higher expected game cost. Rakeback does not turn gambling into profit or predict a session’s result.
Use the game’s published RTP for the version you play: a 98% RTP corresponds to a 2% house edge. For multiple games, calculate each separately and add the results. The full rakeback calculator guide explains mixed-game examples and the separate sportsbook and poker calculations.
Why is the referral code not working?
| What to check | What to do next |
|---|---|
| Wrong Stake product | This offer is for Stake.com. Stake.us and the Stake investing service have separate codes and conditions. |
| Code-entry deadline | Check the time since account creation. The published welcome window is 24 hours; support does not promise an exception. |
| Another code or referral | A manually entered signup code overrides a referral link, and an account can be associated with only one affiliate. Ask support about attribution on your existing account. |
| Missing benefit or different rate | Check the actual offer and rakeback details in your account. Ask Stake to confirm the applicable rate before relying on the advertised benefit. |
| Location or account restriction | Check the full current terms. A referral code does not override location, age or verification requirements. |
For a detailed checklist, see Stake code troubleshooting. Never share passwords or authentication codes with someone offering to activate a bonus.
What to ask Stake support
For missing affiliate rakeback, Stake asks for your affiliate’s Stake username so support can investigate activation. Ask your referrer for the correct username; a referral code or link ID does not establish it. We have not confirmed that username for save5.
If the offer or rate is unclear, use the official support channel from your existing account and ask:
- Is save5 active and applicable to my account?
- What total rakeback rate and calculation basis apply to my casino wagers?
- What deposit, wagering, game, currency, cap and expiry conditions apply?
Keep the response and offer terms for reference. These questions are a checklist, not a promise of activation or an exception to the deadline.
Referral code, promo code or bonus drop?
Compare offers for the same product, account type and location. A deposit-match percentage, a Stake.us coin package and casino rakeback measure different benefits.
| Code type | Purpose | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Stake.com referral / affiliate code | Referral attribution and the eligible welcome mechanism. | Product, new-account timing and current code validity. |
| A named deposit promotion | A specific campaign with its own conditions. | Written reward, deposit requirement, wagering rules, exclusions and expiry. |
| Bonus drop | A limited promotion with code-specific eligibility and availability. | The original announcement and whether claims remain. See bonus-drop rules. |
| Stake.us code | A separate product and welcome process. | Stake.us rules and restrictions. |
save5 offer terms and evidence
The 3.5% total rate comes from Stake’s public help. The support excerpt below gives a matching calculation; it does not identify a special rate for this code.
- Published by Stake
- Welcome-code access and the 24-hour window, plus the standard 3.5% rakeback formula. These articles do not independently verify save5.
- Support excerpt supplied by the publisher
- The example returns 0.0007 BTC on 1 BTC wagered at a 2% house edge, which implies 3.5%. The visible excerpt does not name save5. Read the correction record.
- Still to confirm with Stake
- Whether this campaign applies to your account, its complete terms and the rate you can claim. We have not completed an independent account-redemption test.

Support reply and the published rate
The publisher supplied this cropped support reply on 18 September 2026. Its example is 1 BTC × 2% house edge × 3.5% = 0.0007 BTC, matching Stake’s published standard rate. The earlier 5% claim has been withdrawn.
Stake.com excludes several jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Ontario. This is not a complete list or a statement of local legal eligibility. Use the full current terms for the operator’s restrictions.
Common questions
Is 3.5% the total rate or an extra boost?
It is Stake’s published standard rate, applied to the house-edge basis. It is the total used in this guide, not an extra boost or an additional payment.
Does save5 include a deposit bonus?
The documented welcome mechanism is access to rakeback at the published 3.5% standard rate for eligible accounts. We have no documented campaign-specific cash bonus or deposit match. Read the actual terms displayed in your eligible account.
Is this the best Stake referral code?
Compare total rates, calculation bases and eligibility for the same product and market. This guide uses the documented 3.5% standard rate. We have no evidence of a special higher rate for save5; a higher headline alone does not establish account eligibility.
Does a referral code give me affiliate commission?
No. Player rakeback and publisher commission are different payments. If you want to refer other people, read the Stake affiliate programme guide.
Where do I find my own Stake referral code or link?
Open Affiliate → Campaigns in your account. Stake’s campaign setup guide explains how to create a campaign and find its campaign ID and referral link. That is the route for referring other people; it is separate from entering save5 to request a player welcome offer.
Does the 3.5% rate also apply to sportsbook and poker?
Stake’s public help also states 3.5% for sportsbook and poker, with different calculation bases and exclusions. This is a general rule, not a save5-specific product guarantee; see the separate standard formulas.
Can support add a code after the deadline?
The published guide does not promise an exception after the 24-hour window. Support can investigate an account-specific issue, but this page cannot guarantee a change.
When was this information checked?
The rakeback article was rechecked on 18 September 2026, when we replaced the previous publisher-only rate with the documented 3.5% standard rate. The welcome and affiliate-attribution help articles were checked again on 17 September 2026; the campaign setup guide was also read on that date. The terms review is dated 15 September 2026. Our dated source register preserves the original 15 September snapshot. A separate three-record follow-up documents the welcome, rakeback and attribution checks; each source keeps its own date.
