Affiliate Program of Stake Australia

Buttons such as Register, Play, Get the App and Claim Rakeback lead to stake.com through the partner tracking address sac.stake-australia.com. The tracker records the click and sends the browser on to the operator’s website, so that a new account opened there can be attributed to this site.

Text links between pages on this site are internal links and earn nothing. Links to the operator’s Help Center, game providers or support organisations, where they appear, are ordinary links without partner tracking.

When a reader opens an account through a partner link and starts playing, the operator pays this site a commission under the Stake affiliate program. The commission depends on the activity of referred players, meaning the amount they wager and the rake they pay, not on their losses: it is calculated from the theoretical house edge whether bets win or lose. The formulas published by Stake are:

As an illustration, at a 10% commission rate, $10,000 wagered on a casino game with a 1% house edge earns $5, and the same amount in settled sports bets earns $15. Visitors never pay the site anything, and the site never handles deposits or winnings.

A partner link does not change the price of anything for the visitor. Payment conditions, odds, payouts, RTP and game rules on stake.com are the same whichever way a player arrives.

Commission does not decide what the site writes either. Facts about Stake are published in the same way whether they look good or bad for the brand, including identity checks, the rule that every deposit is wagered once before a withdrawal and the limits of bonus offers. Pages are researched and corrected the same way whatever the partner buttons on them, and those buttons stay separate from the facts in the text.

The partner link carries a referral code. When an account is opened through it, the code activates the 3.5% rakeback bonus from the first bet, a reward that players without a code only reach at Bronze VIP level after wagering $10,000. Rakeback is paid on eligible bets whether they win or lose and can be claimed from the VIP page at any time.

The code works only for new accounts and has to be linked at registration or within 24 hours of it. A code typed into the referral field by hand replaces the one from the link, and each account can belong to one affiliate only.

To attribute a registration, the partner tracker and stake.com may record the time of the click, the referring page, the device and a referral identifier and keep it in a cookie in the browser. The site does not receive names, email addresses, documents or payment details of players; affiliate statistics show only totals such as clicks, registrations, deposits and commission. The partner cookie is one of the three types listed in the Cookie Policy, and deleting it before registration means the new account is not attributed to this site.

Partner links are intended for adults aged 18 and over. A commission is never a reason to register, deposit or bet, and gambling should stay within an amount that can be lost without harm. Stake offers responsible gambling tools such as deposit limits, breaks and self-exclusion, which can be switched on from the Stake Smart section of the account at any time, including before the first deposit.
