What Is Stake Packs?
Quick answer
Stake Packs is an in-house Stake game: each bet opens a pack of 5 cards from a 240-card collection. Stake sets its RTP at 98%, a 2% house edge. Each card carries a multiplier that rises with its rarity, and a pack pays your bet times the sum of the five.
- Clear payout rule: the card multipliers add up
- Every pack can be checked with your own seed
- !About 98 cards in 100 pay 0.80x or less

How to Play Packs on Stake
- Open Packs from the Stake Originals lobby. Manual mode opens one pack each time you press Bet.
- Enter your Bet Amount in the currency you hold. The ½ and 2× buttons halve or double it.
- Bet at least $0.10, or the equivalent, if you want the cards to count: only those bets add cards to your Collection.
- Press Bet. The pack opens and reveals 5 cards, each with its own multiplier.
- Once all five cards are on screen, the game pays your bet times the sum of their multipliers.
- To open a series of packs, switch to Auto and set the number of packs and your stop conditions first.
The Collection counter, 0/240 at the start, fills as you find new cards. You can search, filter and sort it by rarity, and the whole set earns a badge.
Packs Card Rarities and Payouts
Every card sits in one of six rarity tiers, and the tier sets its multiplier range. The 240 cards split into 100 Common, 60 Uncommon, 55 Rare, 15 Epic, 9 Legendary and one Stake Card. Because the 5 multipliers in a pack add up, one strong card can carry four weak ones.
Add up the chances on Stake’s rarity list and Common cards take 83% (36% + 22% + 15% + 10%), Uncommon cards 15% (3 x 3% + 3 x 2%). So about 98 cards in 100 are worth 0.80x or less. Rare cards, from 1x to 15x, fill most of what is left. Every chance Stake lists for Epic and Legendary cards is 0.03% or less, and the Stake Card’s is 0.00001%.
Stake lists a single RTP for Packs: 98%. Over a long run of packs that is about $2 kept for every $100 wagered. From Bronze VIP ($10,000 wagered), or from sign-up with code BONUSTIIME once Stake support activates it, Stake’s rakeback returns 3.5% of that edge, about 7 cents per $100. Packs has no Difficulty setting, so your bet size alone sets how much you risk.
Tarot and Cases, two other drop-and-reveal Originals, also run at 98% RTP. In Tarot the multipliers of 3 cards are multiplied together; in Packs they are added up. To compare every Original, see our house edge table.
What the House Edge Costs
An average cost per $100 wagered, not a fee on each bet.
| Edge | Cost | After rakeback |
|---|---|---|
| 2% | $2.00 | $1.93 |
| Rarity | Cards in the set | Multipliers |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 100 | 0.01x to 0.04x |
| Uncommon | 60 | 0.10x to 0.80x |
| Rare | 55 | 1x to 15x |
| Epic | 15 | 50x to 150x |
| Legendary | 9 | 500x to 1,000x |
| The Stake Card | 1 | Shown in game |
Packs Strategy: What You Can Control
You control
- Your bet size and how many packs you open
- Auto stop conditions, including a stop on specific cards
- A loss limit and a time limit, set before you start
You don’t control
- Which cards come out: every pull is random
- The house edge, built into the rarity odds
- Streaks: the last pack has no effect on the next
Doubling your bet after each loss (Martingale) does not change the edge. It makes losing runs more expensive, and it stops at Stake’s maximum bet and maximum profit per bet. Chasing the full collection works the same way: the rarest cards are just as rare on your thousandth pack as on your first, so give the collection a budget, not a target.

How to Check a Packs Round
Packs turns your seeds into the 5 cards of each pack. The cards carry the multipliers, so once you have checked the cards, you have checked the payout.
- Before you play, open Fairness in the game and note the hashed server seed.
- After your session, rotate your seed: Stake reveals the old server seed.
- Hash it, compare it with the one you noted, then replay any pack with your client seed and nonce.

Stake Packs FAQ
Is Stake Packs Rigged?
No. The 5 cards in each pack come from your client seed, Stake's server seed and the nonce, and Stake shows the server seed's hash first. Once that seed is revealed, you can replay any pack and get the same cards. Stake also lists card chances for every rarity tier on its Packs page.
What Is the RTP of Stake Packs?
Stake lists Packs' RTP at 98%, which leaves a 2% house edge. Over many packs that is about $2 kept per $100 wagered. Stake gives one figure for the game, and there is no setting that changes it.
How Are Multipliers Calculated in Stake Packs?
Each of the 5 cards in a pack has its own multiplier, and your payout is your bet times the sum of the five. With a $1 bet, four 0.01x Common cards and one 15x Rare card pay $15.04 (4 x 0.01 + 15 = 15.04).
What Is the Max Win on Stake Packs?
Stake's Packs page gives two different figures for the top win, so we do not quote one: check the card multipliers shown in game. Any win is also capped by Stake's maximum profit per bet.
What Does the Card Collection Do in Stake Packs?
It tracks the cards you find, out of 240, and it is tied to your account. Only bets of $0.10 or more, or the equivalent, add cards, and completing the set earns a badge. Your payout still comes only from the 5 cards in each pack.
How Does Variance Affect Stake Packs?
Strongly. About 98 cards in 100 are Common or Uncommon, worth 0.80x or less, while the big multipliers sit on Epic and Legendary cards, whose listed chances are all 0.03% or less. Long runs of small returns are normal, so size your bets for them.
