| If you are farming VIP levels on StakeUS, below is a table of games sorted by lowest house edge | ||||
| It could be an optimal strategy to farm for VIP levels, as increasing your VIP level grants you access to certain perks: 1. Access to Monthly bonuses 2. Access to Weekly bonuses 3. Bonus upon level-up 4. Rakeback (cashback for games you play) 5. Each VIP level INCREASES your recurring Monthly & Weekly bonus amounts For VIP leveling, Blackjack w/ basic strategy is the most optimal (requires a little effort). Next would be automatic Dice (set roll over 2, at 98% chance) or Limbo (set multiplier at 1.01x). "House Edge" is the statistical advantage the Casino has over a Player. As a Player, you should strive to play games with the lowest house-edge. Low house-edge = High RTP (Return-to-Player) | ||||

| Note: Minimum House Edge: 0.57% (Stake Original Blackjack), corresponds to 99.43% RTP. This is mathematically accurate and assumes optimal strategy, or "Basic Strategy". Derived from specific rules; e.g., the 3:2 Blackjack payout avoids the ~1.39% house edge increase typical of 6:5 games. While this theoretical edge is accurate long-term, short-term results will naturally vary due to variance. | ||||
