How Much Wager to Reach Gold on Stake | Full Breakdown

Reaching Gold requires a total of $100,000 wagered in cumulative casino wagering. If you're starting from zero, that's the full amount you need. If you're already at Bronze or Silver, you only need to cover the remaining gap, since your existing wagering already counts toward the total. Sports betting also changes the math significantly, since it counts three times faster toward your Loyalty Points than casino wagering does.

The Total Requirement: $100,000 in Wagering

Stake's help center confirms Gold requires 100,000 Loyalty Points. For casino wagering, points accumulate at a 1:1 ratio with dollars wagered, so $100,000 in total casino wagering gets you to Gold on its own, regardless of how that wagering is spread across sessions, games, or time.

This is a cumulative, all-time figure — not a monthly or weekly total. Every dollar you've ever wagered on the platform counts toward it, including money you've already won and rebet.

How Much You Need, Based on Your Starting Point

The actual amount you personally need to wager depends entirely on where you're starting from. Here's the breakdown for each realistic starting position:

Starting from zero (no VIP status yet) You need the full $100,000 in casino wagering (or the sports-adjusted equivalent, covered below) to go from no VIP status directly to Gold.

Starting from Bronze ($10,000 already wagered) You need an additional $90,000 in wagering to close the gap between Bronze's 10,000-point threshold and Gold's 100,000-point threshold.

Starting from Silver ($50,000 already wagered) You need an additional $50,000 in wagering to close the gap between Silver's 50,000-point threshold and Gold's 100,000-point threshold.

Since VIP progress is cumulative, your existing wagering from a lower tier is never lost — you're always working from your all-time total, not restarting the count each time you level up.

Sports Betting Changes the Math Significantly

Stake's sportsbook wagering counts three times faster toward Loyalty Points than casino wagering. That means $1 wagered on sports contributes the same as $3 wagered on casino games for VIP progress purposes.

Here's what that means in practice for reaching Gold from different starting points, if you were to close the remaining gap entirely through sports betting instead of casino play:

From zero to Gold: $100,000 in casino wagering, or roughly $33,333 in sports wagering alone.

From Bronze to Gold: $90,000 in casino wagering, or roughly $30,000 in sports wagering alone.

From Silver to Gold: $50,000 in casino wagering, or roughly $16,667 in sports wagering alone.

Most players use a mix of both casino and sports wagering, so these figures represent the two extremes rather than a realistic single number for most accounts. Your actual remaining amount will fall somewhere between the casino-only and sports-only figures, depending on your personal bet mix.

The Exact Calculation Method (For Any Progress Percentage)

If you're partway between two tiers already, here's the precise method Stake outlines for working out what's left, rather than relying on a rough starting-point estimate.

Step 1: Find the gap between your current level and Gold. Subtract your current level's requirement from Gold's requirement (100,000). From Bronze, that's a $90,000 gap. From Silver, that's a $50,000 gap.

Step 2: Check your current progress percentage. Your Stake account displays this directly — it shows how far you are into the gap toward your next tier.

Step 3: Multiply your progress percentage by the gap, then divide by 100. This gives you the amount already wagered within that gap.

Step 4: Subtract that figure from the total gap. The result is exactly how much more you need to wager to reach Gold.

Step 5 (if using sports betting to close the remainder): Divide the leftover amount by 3. This converts the remaining casino-equivalent wagering requirement into the smaller sports-wagering amount that would achieve the same result.

Worked Example 1: From Silver, 40% Progress

Gap from Silver to Gold: $50,000. Amount already wagered within the gap: 40 x $50,000 ÷ 100 = $20,000. Remaining amount needed: $50,000 - $20,000 = $30,000. If wagered entirely through sports: $30,000 ÷ 3 = $10,000.

Worked Example 2: From Bronze, 70% Progress

Gap from Bronze to Gold: $90,000. Amount already wagered within the gap: 70 x $90,000 ÷ 100 = $63,000. Remaining amount needed: $90,000 - $63,000 = $27,000. If wagered entirely through sports: $27,000 ÷ 3 = $9,000.

Worked Example 3: Starting Fresh, No Progress Yet

Gap from zero to Gold: $100,000. Amount already wagered: $0. Remaining amount needed: $100,000. If wagered entirely through sports: $100,000 ÷ 3 ≈ $33,333.

Using a Calculator Instead of Doing This by Hand

The math above is straightforward for a single calculation, but it gets repetitive if you're checking your progress regularly, comparing casino versus sports scenarios, or trying to plan around a target date. Our Stake VIP Calculator automates the entire process. Enter your current VIP level and progress percentage (or your total wagered amount), and it will calculate exactly how much more you need to wager to reach Gold — including the adjusted figure if you're planning to use sports betting to close the gap faster.

This is particularly useful if you're weighing whether to shift more of your play toward sports betting purely to accelerate VIP progress, since the calculator lets you compare both paths instantly rather than reworking the math manually each time your progress updates.

Why the Wagering Amount Matters Beyond Just VIP Status

Reaching Gold isn't only about the tier badge — it directly affects the size of your recurring rewards. Stake has confirmed that VIP level is one of the core factors used to calculate both weekly and monthly bonuses, alongside recent wagering volume, profit/loss, and the house edge of games played. That means the $100,000 wagering milestone isn't just a progress marker; it's tied to tangible improvements in your bonus value, along with access to Gold-level rakeback rates and level-up bonuses.

If you want to see how reaching Gold might affect your actual bonus amounts, pairing your VIP progress tracking with a bonus estimate is worthwhile. Our Stake monthly bonus calculator uses your VIP level as one of its inputs, so you can get a sense of what Gold-tier status could mean for your next bonus once you've closed the gap.

Common Mistakes When Estimating Your Wager Requirement

Forgetting that VIP progress is cumulative, not periodic. Unlike the weekly or monthly bonus, which look at recent activity, VIP level tracks your all-time wagering total. Nothing resets when a new month begins.

Assuming deposits count toward the requirement. Only the amount actually wagered counts — not the amount deposited, and not your net win or loss. A player who deposits $200 but rebets winnings repeatedly can accumulate far more in total wagering than their deposit amount suggests.

Ignoring the sports betting multiplier entirely. Players who exclusively track casino wagering may overestimate how much further they need to go if they're also placing sports bets, since those count three times as heavily.

Using a flat estimate instead of checking actual progress. Since the starting-point figures above assume you're exactly at a tier threshold, your real remaining amount could differ if your account shows partial progress toward the next tier already.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do I need to wager from scratch to reach Gold on Stake? $100,000 in casino wagering, or roughly $33,333 if wagered entirely through sports betting, due to the 3x multiplier.

How much more do I need if I'm already at Silver? An additional $50,000 in casino wagering (or roughly $16,667 through sports betting alone) to close the gap from Silver's 50,000-point threshold to Gold's 100,000-point threshold.

How much more do I need if I'm at Bronze? An additional $90,000 in casino wagering (or roughly $30,000 through sports betting alone) to close the gap from Bronze to Gold.

Does my wagering reset if I don't play for a while? No. VIP progress is based on cumulative, all-time wagering, not a rolling or periodic window, so a break in play doesn't erase your existing progress.

Do sports bets really count three times more? Yes. Stake's help center confirms sports betting counts toward VIP progress at three times the rate of casino wagering, meaning $1 in sports wagering equals $3 in casino wagering for progress purposes.

Can I calculate my exact remaining amount instead of using the general starting-point figures? Yes. Use the gap-and-percentage method outlined above with your specific current progress percentage, or use our Stake VIP Calculator for an instant result.

Does reaching Gold guarantee a bigger bonus? VIP level is one of the confirmed factors in Stake's weekly and monthly bonus calculations, so Gold status is associated with improved bonus potential compared to Bronze or Silver, though the exact bonus amount also depends on wagering volume, profit/loss, and other factors.

Is the $100,000 figure the same for everyone? Yes, the $100,000 Gold threshold is a fixed, published requirement that applies to all players, though how quickly you reach it depends on your individual mix of casino and sports wagering.

Key Takeaway

Reaching Gold on Stake requires 100,000 Loyalty Points, equal to $100,000 in casino wagering from scratch, $90,000 more from Bronze, or $50,000 more from Silver — with sports betting cutting each of those figures roughly to a third, thanks to its 3x progress multiplier. Since your exact remaining amount depends on your current progress percentage and bet mix, our Stake VIP Calculator can calculate it precisely in seconds, based on wherever you currently stand.
