The verdict
Stake pays 3.5% flat (a share of the house edge, claimed manually, wager-free); Shuffle pays 5% of house edge (flat) (a share of the house edge, claimed manually, wager-free). Stake does not market a standing rakeback %; the 3.5% is in its help centre, and most extra value comes from weekly/monthly boosts. The 5–15% figures on third-party sites are boost tiers, not the rakeback rate. Needs Bronze VIP to unlock. It is 5% of the house edge, not 5% of your bets — at a 2% house-edge game that is ~0.1% of turnover, a 50× difference. Only starts after you reach Bronze VIP ($1,000 wagered); new players get nothing. Read the basis before the headline — see why rakeback is a share of the house edge.
