How to Activate Pending Rakeback

On Stake.us (most common context)

1. Sign up with a promo/affiliate code - Rakeback must be enabled at registration via a partnered affiliate code (e.g. a streamer's code). If you didn't use one, rakeback may show as "pending" and unactivatable after the fact.
2. Find your Rakeback - Go to: Account > VIP > Rakeback
3. Claim it - There's a "Claim" or "Activate" button on that page. Pending rakeback accumulates until you manually claim it.

General Steps (Most Poker/Casino Platforms)

1. Log into your account
2. Go to your VIP, Rewards, or Promotions section
3. Look for a Rakeback or Cashback tab
4. If it shows "Pending" - click Activate or Claim
5. If the button is greyed out, you may need to:
   • Reach a minimum threshold (e.g. $1 or $5 pending)
   • Contact support to manually enable it (especially if you forgot a promo code at signup)

If Rakeback is Stuck as "Pending" and Won't Activate

• Contact live support/chat - many sites can retroactively apply a rakeback code if you request it shortly after signing up
• Check if your account needs email/ID verification first
• Make sure you're playing eligible games (rakeback usually only applies to cash games/slots, not tournaments)

How to Get a Human Agent on Stake Live Chat

Trick to bypass the bot:

1. When the chat bot asks for your issue, type one of these exact phrases:
   • "Live agent"
   • "Human agent"
   • "Speak to a person"
   • "Transfer to agent"
2. Or just keep replying "No" to every bot suggestion until it escalates to a human

If there's no text box at all:

• The chat may be bot-menu only (tap-to-select options, no typing)
• Look for an option like "Other" or "Something else" in the menu - this usually leads to a human

If chat is completely unavailable:
