Payments

Stake Engine gives you two ways to get paid for your games. You choose a payment model per team and can move between them at any time from the Payments page — a switch applies from the next month.

In the app	Payment model	Rate
Profit Share	10% GGR (Revenue Share)	10% of actual GGR
Guaranteed	7.5% Guaranteed Payment	7.5% of expected GGR

On this page, GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) means:

GGR = Total Bets − Total Wins Paid to Players

Option 1: 10% GGR (Revenue Share)

Under this option you earn 10% of your game's Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR).

When the title performs well (players lose more than expected), GGR rises and so does your payout.
When players run hot and the game posts negative GGR, you do not owe Stake Engine anything. A negative balance (debt) is logged and carried forward instead.

Example

Month	GGR	Your 10%	Running balance
January	−$10,000	−$1,000	−$1,000 (debt)
February	+$6,000	+$600	−$400 (debt reduces)
March	+$8,000	+$800	$400 clears debt, you receive $400

In March, $400 of the $800 covers the remaining debt and the other $400 is paid to you.

Key points

You never pay Stake Engine from your own pocket.
A negative balance rolls forward without a cutoff until later positive earnings offset it.
Payouts pause until that debt is cleared.
There is no deadline for carrying the balance forward.
This model offers more upside and more variance.

Option 2: 7.5% Guaranteed Payment

Under this option you earn 7.5%, calculated from the game's expected RTP rather than live results.

Payment follows what the math says the game should make.
Lucky player runs do not shrink your payment.
Unlucky player runs do not raise your payment.
There is no negative balance and no debt — Stake Engine absorbs the volatility.

Note: If you still have a negative balance (debt) from an earlier 10% GGR period when you move to 7.5%, that existing debt must still be earned off first. The difference is that your balance can now only move up — 7.5% payments go toward clearing the debt, and no new debt can form while you stay on this model.

Example

If the math says your game should produce $10,000 in GGR for a period:

On the 7.5% model you would receive $750, whether actual GGR lands at $15,000 or −$5,000.
On the 10% GGR model, payout tracks actual GGR only.

Which should you choose?

10% GGR (Profit Share)

Stronger long-term earning potential.
More volatile.
Negative months leave a carry-forward balance.
A better fit if you can live with variance and expect the title to perform over time.

7.5% Guaranteed

Steady, predictable income.
No debt or carry-forward balance.
Less upside, with no exposure to player variance.
A fit if you want consistent payments.
Suggested for teams just getting started (especially if you have bills to cover)

In short, you can take a share of actual results (10% GGR) or accept a slightly smaller but guaranteed share based on expected performance (7.5%). The key difference: under the 10% model the only risk is delayed payouts from a carry-forward balance — you never have to pay Stake Engine after a negative month.

How and when you're paid

Add a wallet in team settings — one wallet per team.
Payouts run on the 1st of every month. A paid invoice shows first, then funds go out within 12 hours.
We pay any amount above $0.00 — even $0.10.
