Direct Answer: The Liquidity Drip
A Reload is a calculated payout available to VIP players (usually Platinum+) on a recurring schedule. It acts as a daily dividend. Stake offers the most flexible Reload structure: you can choose to claim it Daily, Hourly, or every 10 minutes. It is calculated based on your previous 7-14 days of wagering activity and net loss, providing a consistent "Liquidity Drip" to your bankroll.
Reload vs. Deposit Bonus
Why do professionals prefer Reloads?
- Independence: You do not need to deposit to claim a Reload. If your balance is zero, the Reload gives you free liquidity to restart.
- Consistency: A standard bonus is a one-time event. A Reload is a structural income stream.
- Flexibility: At Stake, if you are in a heavy grind session, you can switch your Reload to “10 Minute Intervals” to constantly top up your balance during the session.
The Calculation Logic
While proprietary, the formula generally follows:
(Base Amount based on VIP Level) + (Percentage of Recent Wager Volume) + (Loss Correction)
This ensures that even if you break even, you are paid for the turnover provided to the platform.
Analyst Tip: Never let a Reload expire. Set an alarm. It is “Free Equity” that reduces the effective cost of your gambling activity. See our full ROI Analysis for more details.
