Where our figures come from
SteakEU uses four kinds of source, in this order of preference:
- The stake.eu terms, cited with the section number.
- The official stake.eu help centre, cited with the article.
- Official stake.eu pages, such as the VIP Club or the promotions page.
- A written confirmation from Stake, published with the note “confirmed by stake.eu on” and the date, and only if Stake does not object.
Other websites are used as leads, never as sources. A figure seen elsewhere is not published on SteakEU until we have found it in one of the four sources above. This matters because third-party pages are often wrong.
A concrete example: the operator of stake.eu is Sweepstakes Services Limited (IBC 18110, Antigua and Barbuda) (Terms 1), as stated in section 1 of the terms. Some sites name the company that runs stake.com instead, which is a different business with different rules. SteakEU always names the operator given in the stake.eu terms.
The four states of a figure
Every figure in the SteakEU fact base has one of four states, and the state decides whether and how it appears on a page.
| State | What it means | Published? |
|---|---|---|
| Verified | Read in an official stake.eu source, with section and date | Yes |
| Confirmed by Stake | Given by Stake in writing, no public page yet | Only with Stake’s agreement, with the date |
| Unconfirmed | Seen only on a third-party site | Never |
| Not specified | The rule exists, but the source gives no value | Yes, as “not specified” |
The last state is common in the stake.eu terms. For example, for redeeming Stake Cash, a minimum is foreseen but not specified in the terms (Terms 13.3). SteakEU writes exactly that rather than quoting a number from a forum or a competitor. When the value is published officially, the state changes to verified and every page shows it.
The state of a figure is never upgraded without a new source. A figure does not become verified because several sites repeat it.
How a figure appears on the page
Each figure is entered once in the SteakEU fact base, with its value, its source, the section or article and the date it was checked. Every page, in every language, displays the figure from that single entry. A change or correction therefore applies everywhere at once.
Next to each figure there is a link to its source, so you can read the clause yourself. Where the source is a confirmation from Stake without a public page, the note “confirmed by stake.eu” and the date appear instead of a link. At the top of most guides, the “Checked” date shows the most recent check of the figures used on that page.
An example of how this looks: 3× playthrough on all Stake Cash, except Stake Cash won in promotional play (Terms 13.1 c).
Figures are never typed by hand into a text. A page that tried to show a figure outside the fact base would fail our automatic checks and would not be published.
The 30-day rule
Every figure on SteakEU is checked again at the latest 30 days after its last check. The fact base records the date of every check, so the figures that pass that limit can be listed and checked again before they stay on the site unchecked.
The month shown in the title of bonus and promotion pages only moves forward if the figures on that page have been checked within the last 30 days. Otherwise the title keeps the month of the last check.
When a figure can no longer be confirmed in an official source, it is removed from the pages or goes back to the state “not specified”.
The stake.eu terms are also read again whenever we spot a change, and any change of substance is recorded in the site’s log. SteakEU does not promise to check more often than it actually does: 30 days is the commitment.
What we do not do
SteakEU follows a few fixed rules on what it will not publish, whatever the topic.
- No estimates and no rounding. A figure is shown as the source gives it, or not at all.
- No figures from stake.com or stake.us. Those are different sites with different rules, and their numbers never stand in for stake.eu.
- No predictions and no winning strategies, and no ranking of the biggest wins.
- No claim that we tested something unless we did. Screenshots, when they are used, carry the date they were taken and show no personal data.
- No opening date for a country unless Stake has announced it publicly.
These rules apply to every page, including those that carry affiliate links. The commission SteakEU receives from Stake does not change them, as the page on how SteakEU earns explains in detail.
Report a mistake
If you think a figure or a sentence on SteakEU is wrong, write to contact@stakequebec.com. To help us check it quickly, please send:
- the address of the page;
- the figure or sentence concerned;
- the source that contradicts it, ideally a link to the stake.eu terms, the help centre or an official stake.eu page.
What happens next: we read the source again. If the mistake is confirmed, the figure is corrected in the fact base, which updates every page and every language at once, and the correction is added to the correction log at the bottom of this page. If the source does not confirm the report, the page stays as it is.
Only corrections of substance enter the log: a figure, a rule or a fact. Changes of wording or layout do not.
How the texts are written
Our texts are drafted with the help of AI tools, from our base of checked facts. A person reads and approves every text before it goes live.
The AI tools work from a brief for each page and from the fact base described above. They do not choose figures: every amount, limit and rule on a page is pulled from the fact base with its source, and automatic checks stop any page that contains a figure typed outside it, a forbidden promise or a link to stake.com.
The human review checks that each page is accurate, clear and fair to the reader, and that it says nothing the sources do not support. German pages are written in German from the start, not translated from English.
The author page explains who writes and checks the guides. The about page describes what SteakEU covers and what it never does.
