Stake affiliate program: how it works and what affiliates earn
The affiliate program of Stake betting pays a commission on the bets of players you bring to the site, across the casino, sportsbook and poker. Any customer can join, links and codes are created in a few clicks, and the formulas are public. This page explains the rules, shows the maths with rupee examples and lists the reasons referrals fail to track.

The Affiliate Program overview on stake.com promises six advantages: instant payout, so earnings appear in the account straight away; lifetime commission for as long as referred players keep playing; market-leading player value; customisable commission plans; earnings in crypto or local currencies; and 24/7 support in several languages. For a creator, tipster or cricket community admin in Pakistan the attraction is simple — commission is paid on activity, not on player losses, so it does not depend on referrals losing money.
How to become a Stake affiliate

The campaign page tracks hits, referrals, total and unique deposits and commission.
Partners offered a customised deal by the affiliate team also receive their own offer code, which can give their referrals extra benefits such as rakeback from the first bet.
Commission formulas
| Product | Formula |
|---|---|
| Casino | House edge × wagered ÷ 2 × commission rate |
| Sportsbook | 0.03 × wagered ÷ 2 × commission rate |
| Poker | Rake × commission rate |
Because the formula uses the house edge, the same turnover earns more on games with a higher edge. Stake Originals such as Plinko, Mines and Crash have a 1% edge, Chicken and Dragon Tower 2%, while every sports bet is counted at a theoretical 3%. That makes sports bettors comparatively valuable referrals — useful to know for anyone with a cricket audience.
How much do Stake affiliates make? Worked examples
Cricket bettors
Referrals wager 1,000,000 PKR on cricket in a month. Commission = 0.03 × 1,000,000 ÷ 2 × 10% = 1,500 PKR.
Mines players
Referrals wager 1,000,000 PKR on Mines (1% edge). Commission = 0.01 × 1,000,000 ÷ 2 × 10% = 500 PKR.
The numbers show why turnover, not sign-ups, drives earnings: ten active bettors are worth more than a hundred accounts that never deposit. They also show the limits — commission is a small share of the house edge, so promises of fast riches from affiliate links are unrealistic. Anyone promoting gambling in Pakistan should also keep the audience's age and local rules in mind and remind people that deposit limits and breaks are always available.
Tracking rules
- Only new, unique registrations count; each account can belong to one affiliate only.
- The player must click the link first and sign up from there; registering through another page may not track.
- A code typed in “Code (Optional)” overrides the link.
- A player sharing the affiliate's IP address cannot be affiliated.
- An affiliate code can be added within 24 hours of registration; after that only support can help, and only if a code was used at sign-up.
Affiliates with a large audience or special circumstances can contact their affiliate manager for a custom package, which may include a higher commission. Payment questions go through the usual support channels, and the Affiliate section shows campaign statistics in real time.
Affiliate FAQ
Who can join the Stake affiliate program?
Any registered customer. No previous experience is needed: you open the Affiliate section in the menu, create a campaign and share its link.
What is the standard commission?
10%. The actual payout depends on the house edge of the games referred players choose, and larger partners can ask for a custom package with a higher rate.
How is sports commission calculated?
Sports bets use a theoretical house edge of 3%. The formula is 0.03 × wagered ÷ 2 × commission rate.
Does a referral code beat a link?
Yes. If a new player types a code in the “Code (Optional)” field, the code overrides the affiliate link they clicked.
Why was a referral not tracked?
Common reasons are signing up from another page instead of the link, entering a different code, the player already having an affiliation, or sharing the same IP address as the affiliate.
