What is Stakeback?

Stakeback is a colourful bingo game. When you buy your ticket, you’ll get to pick a team colour – purple, blue, green, orange or red. If the final winning tile matches your team’s colour, you’ll win your stake back. How’s that for a twist?

Just like in a normal bingo game, numbers are called, and you’ll see these displayed on the stack of tiles as they are called. If you have that number, you can mark it off, or it will be marked off for you if you’re on auto-mark. It doesn’t matter if the colour of the number is not the same, it’s all about the numbers on your ticket right up until the last call.

The aim is to match 10 numbers, from up to 30 numbers that are called during the game. The first player to match all their tiles, wins. A single Full House prize is available in every game, but if you win in 14 calls or less, then you’ll scoop the Jackpot.

What can I win when I play Stakeback online?

Our Jackpot game in Stakeback has prizes worth up to £20,000!

Keep your peepers peeled – even if you don’t bag the Full House, you could still snag your stake back if your team’s colour struts its stuff on the final tile.

If more than one person wins the bingo prize, the winnings get split between each player. The amount you pocket depends on what you put in – because, let’s face it, you’ve got to play to win, right?

If multiple players hit the Jackpot at the same time, each of you will get the full Jackpot amount – it's the right thing to do.
