Short answer
What rakeback is, and where it belongs
Stake's introduction to its VIP programme lists several kinds of reward: weekly boosts, rakeback, reload bonuses and monthly offers. Rakeback is one of them, and Stake states that all VIP members receive it based on their bets. So rakeback is not a separate promotion; it is a reward that hangs on the VIP programme.
How the rate is set, and how much each level gets back, is not written out level by level in the text this site read. For that reason this page shows no rate calculated by this site and does not say which level is better.

VIP levels and thresholds
Stake publishes a whole ladder of VIP levels, from the entry level up to the highest, each with its own threshold. The card below follows the VIP programme page, where the threshold is expressed as the total amount wagered.
One caution. Another Stake article, on VIP levels and benefits, words the entry condition as earning a stated number of points by wagering. The same matter is described in different units in different articles. This page prints both as written, does not convert between them, and does not judge which one is the rule actually applied. To check your own progress, use the VIP page in your account.

Which rewards each level opens
Stake uses a table to show from which level each reward is available. Monthly bonuses, level-up bonuses, rakeback and weekly bonuses are open from the lowest level; bonus growth, daily bonuses and custom benefits come in at higher levels. The table is below, and this page adds no commentary to it.
Weekly boosts, reload and monthly bonuses each get a short description from Stake. Weekly boosts are issued on a fixed schedule and posted to the VIP Telegram channel. The reload is a daily bonus for players at a higher tier, based on recent wagering. Monthly bonuses depend on VIP level and recent wagers and are sent by email. The exact day, time and period lengths are in Stake's original wording in the cards.

How weekly and monthly bonuses are worked out
Stake says which factors its weekly and monthly bonuses are calculated from, and they are listed in the card: the VIP rank, the amount wagered in the period, the profit values that apply, and the house edge of the games you play. Stake gives the factors only. It publishes no formula and no weighting, so this page offers no worked example and cannot say how much wagering turns into how much bonus.
Stake adds one sentence: if no email arrives, you are not qualified for a bonus that month. That is Stake's own statement, not a judgement by this site. Stake also says dedicated VIP hosts may be available to players who reach a high level. The wording is "may", which is no guarantee, and Stake does not say which level.
In Stake's own words
How weekly and monthly bonuses are calculated
Weekly and monthly bonuses are calculated based on your VIP rank. … The amount you’ve wagered in the specific time period. … The profit values that apply. … The house edge of the games you play.

Without a referral code: where rakeback starts and where to collect it
Stake's rakeback help article is clear. When no referral code was used, rakeback starts only once a total amount has been wagered, which brings you into the entry level of the VIP Club; from then on every wager earns rakeback. The amount is in the card. In other words, a new account opened without a referral code does not have rakeback from the first moment.
As for where to collect it, Stake says to open the VIP page and select the rakeback tab. This site has not opened an account, so for the details of the screen, rely on what you see in your own account.
In Stake's own words
Where rakeback starts without a code
Once you’ve wagered a total of $10,000, you’ll join the Bronze level of the VIP Club and receive rakeback on every wager.

Where to collect rakeback
To collect your rakeback, simply open the VIP page and then select the rakeback tab.

The welcome offer: rakeback available early
Stake describes its welcome offer as instant access to the rakeback bonus that is normally unlocked only on reaching the entry level of the VIP Club, so there is no need to build up the threshold first. Stake states that the offer pays rakeback and publishes the rate; the wording is in the card below.
How the welcome offer is claimed, and the time limit for entering a referral code, are covered on the referral code page of this site. This page makes no judgement about the value of the offer and reports only what Stake publishes. When you are ready, the button below goes to Stake.
In Stake's own words
What the welcome offer is
The Stake welcome offer gives you instant access to the rakeback bonus that is normally only unlocked once you reach the Bronze VIP Club level.

The rakeback the welcome offer gives
It rewards you with rakeback, meaning you get 3.5% of the house edge back on every game you play.

Check the VIP page yourself
Thresholds, rewards and payout rules can be changed by Stake, and this page reports Stake's text as it was read. Your actual level progress and the rewards you can collect are shown on the VIP page in your own account, and that is the page to trust.
Rakeback is not income: play within your means
Rakeback and VIP rewards do not turn playing into a steady income, and they do not cancel out losses. Playing can lose money, and this site guarantees no outcome. Use only money you can afford to lose. Stake describes two tools of its own, shown below: a loss limit and self-exclusion. This site does not judge whether the law where you live allows you to use Stake.
Beyond those tools, contact a gambling support service in the country where you live. English-speaking readers live in many countries, and this site has not verified a helpline that serves all of them, so it lists none here.
In Stake's own words
Loss limits
Loss limits enable users to set boundaries on the amount of money they can potentially lose within a specified time frame. … However, any increase in the loss limit is subject to a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Self-exclusion
The indefinite exclusion has a minimum period of 6 months from the application date.
