At our launch rate we return $5.90 per $1,000 against Rainbet's $4.00. At our standard rate we return $4.15, which is fifteen cents ahead. That is close enough to call a tie, and we will not pretend otherwise.
| Offer | Share of house edge | Back per $1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Stake + Rakeback Paid, launch rate to 26 Sept | 14.75% | $5.90 |
| Stake + Rakeback Paid, both free boosts | 11.0% | $4.40 |
| Stake + Rakeback Paid, standard 55% | 10.375% | $4.15 |
| Rainbet, affiliate code quoted publicly on X | 10.0% | $4.00 |
| Stake rakeback on its own, no affiliate share | 3.5% | $1.40 |
An affiliate promoting a Rainbet code stated the figure publicly on X in September 2026 as "per $1000 it will be $4". That is a single affiliate's arrangement rather than a published Rainbet rate, so it applies to that code and not to Rainbet generally. We have used it because it is the only Rainbet figure we have seen stated in the same unit as ours, and because the person who said it is competing with us.
On the headline number this is a close race. Until 26 September our launch rate is clearly ahead, and the two free boosts keep us ahead at $4.40 afterwards, but our floor of $4.15 against $4.00 is not a reason on its own to move anywhere. If you are already happy on Rainbet, the fifteen cents is not the argument.
The difference worth weighing is not the rate, it is whether you can see it being paid. Our share, our formula and every payment we make are published, including the Fridays we pay nothing. A rate quoted in a reply is a rate you are taking on trust.
From 27 September the standard share is 55%. Following us on X adds 2.5 points and joining the Telegram adds another 2.5, reaching 60%, which is $4.40 per $1,000. Both are free, neither requires a deposit, and 60% is a hard ceiling. There is no referral boost and no tier to climb.
Stake publishes the formula: (house edge as a decimal x amount wagered / 2) x the affiliate's rate. On a 4% slot, $1,000 wagered leaves $40 of expected house take, an affiliate on 25% receives $5.00 of it, and our published share of that is what reaches you, on top of Stake's own $1.40 rakeback. Any offer that will not decompose like that is worth a second look.
Rainbet's own rakeback is higher than Stake's 3.5%. Against Stake plus the Rakeback Paid cashback, the publicly quoted Rainbet affiliate figure of $4.00 per $1,000 sits below our launch rate of $5.90 and just below our standard $4.15.
No. That is a four percent difference and it is not a reason to move sites on its own. It is stated here so the numbers are comparable, not as an argument.
An affiliate promoting a Rainbet code said it publicly on X in September 2026. It reflects that affiliate's arrangement, not a published Rainbet rate.
The commission formula is published by Stake, our share of it is published on the cashback page, and every payment appears on the public payouts ledger with the date, a masked username and the amount.
Sign up to Stake with code COINSANDBETS and you get Stake's 3.5% rakeback from your first bet (confirmed by Stake in writing, 12 September 2026). In plain terms: Stake gives you back a slice of what the house expects to win on every bet, win or lose. On a typical slot that is about $1.40 back for every $1,000 you wager, credited to your account as you play. Then Rakeback Paid tips you 90% of everything Stake pays us on your play until Saturday 26 September, then 55% for good, every Friday: about $4.50 more per $1,000 on slots during launch, $2.75 after. Roughly $59 back per $10,000 between the two right now. Receipts go on the public payouts page.
