December is the busiest month of the year on Stake. On top of the year-round competitions, the casino lobby is running a ₹1.40 crore-a-month Pragmatic Play tournament, the poker room is building towards a ₹1.87 crore guaranteed final table, and the sportsbook keeps its refund offers live for football and the NFL.
This guide lists every Stake promotion that is active in December 2026, explains exactly how each one works, and converts all deadlines into Indian Standard Time, so you know which offers are worth your attention before the year closes.

Do You Need a Code for These Promotions?
No. Every promotion in this guide is open to any account in good standing, and entry is automatic once you play the qualifying games or markets. There is nothing to opt into for the raffle or the races: your wagers are tracked from the moment you start playing.
Codes only matter at the registration stage. If you are opening an account in December and want to know what the current sign-up offer looks like, the latest stake promo code page explains how the code works and where it is entered, so you can start with the right offer before moving on to the ongoing competitions below.
Stake's ₹70.14 lakh Weekly Raffle
The Weekly Raffle is Stake's longest-running community promotion and the simplest to understand: wager, collect tickets, wait for Saturday.
Stake's Weekly Raffle page: ₹70.14 lakh shared between 15 winners every week.
How Raffle Tickets Work
You earn 1 ticket for every ₹93,520 wagered, across both the casino and the sportsbook.
Tickets are added automatically; there are no extra qualifiers or opt-ins.
Each ticket gets its own entry number, which you can check under the Weekly Raffle link in the promotions tab.
The ₹70.14 lakh prize pool is split between 15 players.
When and Where the Draw Takes Place
Winners are drawn live every Saturday at 2:00 PM GMT, which is 7:30 PM IST, during the weekly stream on Kick (the Eddie or Steve channels), using Google's random number generator on screen. The next raffle opens one hour after the previous one ends. In December 2026 the draws fall on 5, 12, 19 and 26 December.
Rules Worth Knowing
Wagers placed between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM GMT on Saturdays (7:30–8:30 PM IST) do not earn tickets, because that hour is the changeover between raffles.
Stake may run additional KYC checks before paying a prize, so verify your account early.
If you view balances in a fiat currency such as INR, crypto bets are converted at live exchange rates, which can slightly change the amount that counts towards your tickets.
Stake's ₹93.52 lakh Daily Races
While the raffle rewards luck, the Daily Races reward volume. Stake gives away ₹93.52 lakh every 24 hours to the players at the top of its Daily Race leaderboard.
The Daily Races page: ₹93.52 lakh every 24 hours across casino and sports.
Every bet you place in the casino or the sportsbook moves you up the leaderboard; there is no separate sign-up.
When the 24-hour window closes, the top racers receive prizes, which are claimed from the VIP section of your account.
The current listing runs from 31 December 2023 to 31 December 2026, which shows how long this race has been a fixture on Stake.
Because the raffle and the races both count the same wagers, one session can earn raffle tickets and race position at the same time.
Wheel Wars: ₹1.40 crore a Month on Pragmatic Play Slots
Wheel Wars is the biggest casino tournament on Stake this December. Play any participating Pragmatic Play slot, with no minimum bet, and you are in the running for weekly prize drops; win one of those drops and you qualify for the Saturday Tournament.
Stake Wheel Wars runs until 3 January 2027 on participating Pragmatic Play games.

81st–150th | ₹935 |
The promotion runs from 19 July 2026 to 3 January 2027 (5:29 AM IST), so every Saturday in December is covered.
Stake Showdown: ₹1.87 crore+ Guaranteed Poker Final
Stake Poker's flagship online event closes at the end of December. The appeal is the price of entry: you can work your way to a ₹93,520 seat from just ₹47.
Stake Showdown: ₹1.87 crore+ guaranteed, with qualifiers from ₹47.
Step | Buy-in | What you win |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | ₹47 | Entry to Step 2 |
Step 2 | ₹935 | Entry to Step 3 |
Step 3 | ₹9,352 | Seat in the Stake Showdown (₹93,520 value) |
Stake Showdown | ₹93,520 | A share of ₹1.87 crore+ |
You can start at any step or buy the ₹93,520 seat directly. Showdown events are listed in the Stake Poker tournament lobby, and the promotion ends on 31 December 2026 at 6:29 PM IST.
Sports Promotions Running Through December
Soccer 90th Minute Payout
If your team is leading at 89:59 but fails to win, Stake pays your bet out as a winner.
The Soccer 90th Minute Payout covers the Premier League, La Liga and the Champions League.
Eligible tournaments: Premier League, La Liga and UEFA Champions League.
Pre-match single bets on the 1x2 market only; the first bet per match, per customer, per household.
Minimum stake ₹468; maximum payout under the promotion ₹9,352.
Cashed-out and voided bets do not qualify; payouts are credited within 48 hours.
Runs until 10 June 2027.
NFL 3rd Quarter Lead Refund
If your NFL pick is leading by 10 or more points after three quarters and goes on to lose, the bet is refunded. The offer runs until 14 February 2027, which covers the whole regular-season run-in and the playoffs.
What About Cricket?
Cricket offers on Stake tend to be tied to specific series. In November, for example, Stake ran a RO-KO Special with a 50% odds boost on Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma scoring 50+ in the India vs New Zealand ODIs. With India hosting Sri Lanka for three ODIs and three T20Is between 13 and 27 December, check the Sport tab of the promotions page around those fixtures for any new boosts.
Nolimit City 'Double Trouble'
For slot players, Double Trouble doubles the maximum win potential on participating Nolimit City games. It is listed until 31 December 2027, so it will stay live well beyond the December rush.
Always-On Rewards: VIP Bonuses and Rakeback
Beyond the time-limited promotions, Stake runs a VIP programme that pays out on a schedule. Rakeback returns a share of the house edge on casino play, and VIP players receive weekly and monthly bonuses based on their rank and recent activity. These rewards stack with the raffle and races, because they are calculated on the same play.

How to Get the Most Out of Stake Promotions This December
Verify your account first. Prize payouts can require KYC checks, so complete verification before you need it.
Remember the Saturday blackout hour. Avoid counting on wagers placed 7:30–8:30 PM IST on Saturdays for raffle tickets.
Let one session do double duty. The same wagers count for raffle tickets and Daily Race position.
Pick promotions that match how you already play. Slots players get the most from Wheel Wars, poker players from the Showdown, football bettors from the 90th Minute Payout.
Read the terms on each promotion page. Minimum stakes, eligible markets and payout caps differ from offer to offer.
Play Responsibly
Promotions are a bonus, not a reason to play more than you planned. Set a budget for December, use deposit and session limits, and check the rules that apply where you live before taking part. You must be 18 or older to play.
