How Much Wager Do You Need to Reach the Next Stake Level

The exact amount depends on which VIP level you're currently sitting at, since every tier has its own fixed wagering threshold — and it's based on cumulative wagering, not deposits or net spend. For example, moving from Bronze to Silver requires reaching $50,000 in total wagering, while moving from Gold to Platinum I requires reaching $250,000. Stake publishes these thresholds directly, so this isn't a guessing game — you just need to know your current progress and the target for your next tier.

Stake VIP Wagering Requirements, Level by Level

Stake's VIP Club has 15 tiers, and progression is based entirely on cumulative wagering — how much you've bet in total, not how much you've deposited or how much you've won or lost. These are the confirmed thresholds, according to Stake's own help center:

Bronze Requirement: $10,000 total wagered This is the entry point into the VIP program. Reaching Bronze happens automatically once your wagering crosses this amount.

Silver Requirement: $50,000 total wagered Weekly and monthly bonus values typically start becoming more meaningful from this tier onward.

Gold Requirement: $100,000 total wagered A step up from Silver, with further improvements to recurring rewards.

Platinum I Requirement: $250,000 total wagered The first sub-tier of Platinum, marking a significant jump from Gold.

Platinum II Requirement: $500,000 total wagered

Platinum III Requirement: $1,000,000 total wagered

Platinum IV Requirement: $2,500,000 total wagered This is generally the point at which players are assigned a dedicated VIP host for personalized support and rewards.

Platinum V Requirement: $5,000,000 total wagered

Platinum VI Requirement: $10,000,000 total wagered

Diamond I Requirement: $25,000,000 total wagered

Diamond II Requirement: $50,000,000 total wagered

Diamond III Requirement: $100,000,000 total wagered

Diamond IV Requirement: $250,000,000 total wagered

Diamond V Requirement: $500,000,000 total wagered

Obsidian Requirement: $1,000,000,000 total wagered This is the highest tier in the program and effectively whale-only territory, reserved for extremely high-volume players.

Sports Bets Count Differently Than Casino Bets

One detail that trips a lot of players up: sports betting progresses your VIP status faster than casino wagering, dollar for dollar. According to Stake's help center, sports betting requires 3x less wagering to count the same amount toward your VIP progress — in other words, $1 wagered on sports counts the same as $3 wagered on casino games for VIP calculation purposes.

Practically, this means if you're mixing sports and casino play, your sports wagers contribute more heavily to your progress bar than the raw dollar amount would suggest. To work out how many sports bets you'd need to place to reach a target on their own, you can divide the casino-based wagering requirement by 3. If you're combining both, the cleanest approach is to check your VIP progress directly in your account, since it will already reflect the blended total across both bet types.

How to Calculate Exactly What You Still Need to Wager

Here's the method Stake itself outlines for working out your remaining requirement, broken into simple steps.

Step 1: Identify the gap between your current level and the next one. Subtract your current level's requirement from your next level's requirement. For example, moving from Bronze ($10,000) to Silver ($50,000) gives you a gap of $40,000.

Step 2: Check your current progress percentage. Your Stake account shows a progress percentage toward your next tier. This reflects how far into the current gap you've already wagered.

Step 3: Multiply your progress percentage by the gap, then divide by 100. This tells you how much of the gap you've already wagered. For example, if you're 45% of the way from Bronze to Silver, that's 45 x $40,000 ÷ 100 = $18,000 already wagered within that gap.

Step 4: Subtract that figure from the total gap to find what's left. Using the same example, $40,000 minus $18,000 leaves $22,000 still needed to reach Silver.

This method works for any two adjacent tiers — just swap in the relevant requirement figures from the list above.

Worked Example: Gold to Platinum I

Let's walk through a slightly bigger jump, since the gaps get more significant at higher tiers.

Gold requires $100,000 total wagered, and Platinum I requires $250,000. That's a gap of $150,000.

If a player is currently at Gold with 30% progress toward Platinum I, that means they've already wagered 30 x $150,000 ÷ 100 = $45,000 within that gap. Subtracting that from the full $150,000 gap leaves $105,000 still needed in casino wagering to hit Platinum I — or roughly $35,000 in sports wagering alone, since sports bets count 3x toward the requirement (though most players will be working with a mix of both, so their actual account progress bar remains the most accurate reference point).

Using a Calculator Instead of Doing the Math Yourself

Working through the gap-and-percentage method by hand is manageable for a single calculation, but it gets tedious if you're checking your progress often or comparing scenarios — for example, seeing how much less you'd need if you shifted more of your wagering toward sports betting. Our Stake VIP Calculator automates this for you.

Simply enter your current VIP level and your current progress percentage (or your total wagered amount, depending on what you have on hand), and the calculator will tell you exactly how much more you need to wager to hit your next tier — using the same confirmed thresholds listed above. It's a faster way to answer "how much more do I need?" without manually working through the subtraction and percentage math every time you check in.

Why VIP Progression Is Based on Wagering, Not Deposits

It's worth being clear on this distinction, since it's a common point of confusion. Your VIP progress tracks the total amount you've wagered — meaning every bet placed, including bets made with money you've already won and rebet — not the amount you've deposited or your net win/loss position.

This means a player who deposits $500 but rebets their winnings repeatedly over time can rack up far more "wagered" total than their deposit amount would suggest. It also means a losing session and a winning session of the same bet size contribute identically to VIP progress, since the calculation is based on volume, not outcome.

What You Unlock as You Level Up

While the wagering requirement is fixed and published, the specific rewards at each tier build progressively. Broadly, as you move up the ladder:

• Weekly and monthly bonus values increase, since VIP level is one of the confirmed factors in how those rewards are calculated.

• Rakeback and reload access improves at higher tiers, giving more consistent value back on wagering activity.

• Dedicated VIP host access begins around Platinum IV, giving players more personalized support and potentially individualized reward terms.

• Top tiers like Diamond and Obsidian unlock the most exclusive perks, reserved for extremely high-volume players. If you're trying to plan your bonus expectations alongside your VIP progress, it's worth pairing your progression tracking with a bonus estimate. Our Stake monthly bonus calculator uses your VIP level as one of its core inputs, so you can see roughly how leveling up might affect your next bonus, not just your progress bar.

Common Questions About Leveling Up

Does my VIP progress reset each month?

No — VIP level progression is cumulative and tied to your all-time wagering total, not a rolling monthly window. This is different from bonuses like the weekly or monthly reward, which do look at recent activity over a shorter period.

Do losses count toward VIP progress the same as wins?

Yes. VIP progress is based on the amount wagered, not your profit or loss outcome, so a losing bet contributes to your progress exactly the same as a winning bet of the same size.

Can I lose VIP status if I stop playing?

Stake's published levels describe wagering thresholds you cross to reach a tier, rather than a decay-based system tied to recent inactivity. If you're concerned about status changes after a period away from the site, checking your current account status directly is the most reliable way to confirm where you stand.

Is there a faster way to reach higher levels?

Since sports betting counts 3x more heavily than casino wagering toward VIP progress, players who split their activity toward sports betting can reach thresholds with a smaller total dollar amount wagered, compared to relying on casino wagering alone.
