Reward comparisons
Choose the difference you need to settle between offers
Compare the same question on both sides: the calculation base, period, funding, eligible product, currency or access. Choose the relevant comparison before treating a larger percentage as a larger reward.
Ask Offer A and Offer B the same questions
- Base
- What is multiplied?
- Access
- Eligible account?
- Credit
- When and where?

| What differs? | Question to answer | Choose a branch |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Losses, stakes, theoretical edge or another monetary amount? | Mechanisms |
| Period | Which wins and losses are combined before applying the rate? | Calculation periods |
| Funding or offer stage | Earned reward, first-deposit benefit or a later reload? | Welcome and reload offers |
| Product | Do the same games, bets and contributions qualify? | Slots and live casino |
| Currency | Does the formula change, or the payment unit and conversion? | Crypto and traditional payments |
| Access | Which rate can this account use and retain? | VIP access and matched programmes |
Continue with the receiving balance, reward wagering, separate deposit conditions, limits and collection windows. The conditions directory helps read each remaining clause. If the basic loss calculation is unclear, use a worked calculation in the cashback guide directory.
Compare the calculation base or period
Start here when the offers multiply different amounts or combine the same results over different time spans.
Mechanism comparison
Cashback versus rakeback
Compare a refund based on eligible losses with a reward earned from qualifying play. Identify the denominator before comparing the percentage.
Read the guidePeriod comparison
Daily, weekly and monthly cashback
Apply different periods to the same signed results. A winning day can reduce the combined loss used by a longer calculation.
Read the guideCompare recurring rewards with a deposit offer
A first-deposit offer, a later reload and cashback already earned begin at different points in the account’s activity. Keep the required funding and payout conditions attached.
Offer lifecycle
Cashback versus a welcome bonus
Compare first-deposit eligibility and bonus funding with a recurring reward. Keep the one-time introductory offer separate from the benefits that can continue.
Read the guideFunding and payout
Cashback versus a reload bonus
Compare an earned reward with an offer tied to a later deposit or payment choice. Follow the additional funding, balance destination and wagering.
Read the guideCompare the eligible product or payment currency
Changing a game product can change the earning rule. Changing the wallet currency does not by itself establish a different reward mechanism.
Product comparison
Slots versus live casino cashback
Check whether the offers cover the same product, game variant and contribution rules. Separate reward earning from bonus-wagering progress and VIP points.
Read the guideCurrency comparison
Crypto versus traditional cashback
Separate the formula, reward currency and conversion step. A crypto payment can still belong to a loss-based or edge-based programme.
Read the guideCompare accessible rates and matched programmes
A shared calculation base makes the remaining access, claim and payout differences easier to inspect. Use the rate the account can actually access.
VIP access
Accessible rewards versus VIP maximums
Compare qualification, the unit used to measure it, the relevant period and maintenance. An invitation and a wagering threshold are different access conditions.
Read the guideMatched-base comparison
Shuffle, Yeet and Rollbit edge rakeback
Compare three published 5%-of-edge base programmes, then inspect ordinary access, claims and deferred credit. Matching the denominator does not make every payment term equal.
Read the guideBooi and Stake show why the base comes first
| Programme | Rate and monetary base | Access and payment condition |
|---|---|---|
| Booi weekly cashback | 4-7% of adjusted weekly net losses; starting statuses receive 4%, Diamond Gorilla receives 7% | Real-money Main Balance credit, no cashback wagering; minimum activation USD/EUR 1 and seven days to collect |
| Stake casino rakeback | 3.5% of eligible theoretical casino house edge | Ordinary Bronze after USD 10,000 wagering; cash credit; earned amount claimable at any time; standalone reward wagering not specified |
Booi’s adjusted base deducts winnings, other real-balance credits and unfinished-round amounts from real-balance bets across account currencies. Stake’s formula needs eligible stakes and the applicable game edge. A deposit amount alone supplies neither base, and the two printed rates do not identify a winner.
Keep benefits that are replaced out of the combined total
Housebets’ selected Rakeback Mode stops new Cashback, Weekly/Monthly Bonuses, VIP Reloads and discretionary Hubie rewards, and halves XP progression. Previously earned rewards keep their schedules. It also separates 0x reward wagering from 1x deposit playthrough before withdrawal.
Use the exclusive reward-mode comparison when that choice changes the package.
One brand can use two different reward engines
WinzUp Daily Rakeback starts from eligible bets and game house edge, then applies its Daily rate. Its starting share is 5% of that theoretical-edge amount. Weekly Cashback instead starts from balance-derived loss and applies the Weekly rate before deducting other bonuses and rakebacks. Paying both in the same currency does not make their bases equal.
| Reward | Calculation object | How to compare it |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Rakeback | Eligible bets × applicable house edge × Daily rate | Compare its 5% starting share with another eligible edge reward. |
| Weekly Cashback | Starting balance plus deposits, less ending balance and withdrawals, with the programme adjustment for unsettled sports bets; apply the rate, then deduct other bonuses and rakebacks. | Use the Weekly loss base and its 1% starting rate, then retain the reward deductions. |
The full Weekly expression is ((Starting Balance + Sum of deposits + Not settled sports bets) - (Ending Balance + Sum of withdrawals + Not settled sports bets)) x Weekly Cashback percentage - Sum of other bonuses and rakebacks. The identity of its opening and closing unsettled-sports snapshots and the treatment of a negative residual remain unconfirmed. Those gaps prevent a complete personal payout calculation; they do not change the published post-rate order. Keep Daily and Weekly as separate reward lines instead of adding the printed rates. The Winz programme review follows their access and collection rules.
Shuffle casino rakeback provides a fixed 5%-of-edge case: eligible casino bets × game edge × 5%. Bronze after USD1,000 of casino wagering. Claim at any time through the VIP page. Sports do not earn this casino reward. A standalone reward wagering requirement is not specified. No published earning cap is specified. Use the matched edge-programme comparison once the denominator is aligned.
Questions before choosing a comparison
Which comparison should I open when one percentage is larger?
First identify what each rate multiplies. Use cashback versus rakeback for different monetary bases. If the bases match, compare the accessible tier, calculation period, receiving balance and payment conditions.
Does more frequent payment always mean a larger reward?
Payment frequency alone does not determine the calculation. Compare how wins and losses are grouped and whether the programme carries history forward. Then read the separate release and collection schedule.
Can two rewards at the same casino be treated as one package?
Only when their rules establish that they can coexist. A selected mode can stop new rewards, one component can be deducted from another, or a payout can be offered as an alternative. Keep those relationships explicit in the comparison.
