Stake rakeback: the 3.5% number explained properly

If you wager $1,000 on a game with a 1% house edge, the theoretical house edge is $10. 3.5% of $10 is $0.35. The exact real account calculation can depend on Stake’s rules and game data; this example is just the arithmetic behind the phrase “3.5% of house edge”.

Many promo pages shorten “3.5% of house edge” into “3.5% rakeback” and leave users to assume it means 3.5% of wagers or 3.5% of losses. The official wording is more specific, so MainGame Codes keeps that wording intact.

MainGame’s current headline promotion is the separate $10 no-deposit / 5× / KYC Level 3 offer presented on this site. The standard rakeback mechanic is useful supporting context, not a replacement description for the MainGame promotion.

The source is Stake’s own “How to get my Welcome Offer?” Help Center article, which gives a worked example using 1 BTC wagered on a game with a 2% house edge.
