Stake Conquest Levels Explained
Conquest is Stake's player-progression layer that runs in parallel with the VIP ladder. Players earn XP from wagering, level up, and receive level-up bonuses. It's structurally separate from VIP rakeback and cashback. This guide explains how Conquest works and how it interacts with VIP progression.
Conquest vs VIP — different systems
Two separate progression layers operate in parallel.
- VIP ladder: 11 levels tied to lifetime wagering and unlocks rakeback/cashback.
- Conquest: XP-based level progression with one-time level-up bonuses.
- Both progress from the same wagering activity.
- Conquest provides incremental rewards on top of VIP benefits.
How XP and level-ups work
XP accrues per wager; level-ups trigger bonuses.
- XP rate varies by game type and bet size.
- Each level-up triggers a fixed bonus credit.
- Conquest levels reset/cycle periodically depending on event format.
- Sports and casino activity both contribute XP.

Should you optimize for Conquest?
Conquest is incremental, not a primary driver.
- VIP progression and cashback typically deliver more total value.
- Conquest is a nice add-on, not a reason to change strategy.
- Don't chase Conquest level-ups by increasing volume.
