What these numbers mean
- RTP
- RTP (return to player) is the share of wagered money returned to players as winnings. These figures are measured — what players actually got — not the theoretical RTP a studio publishes. Over a single day the number swings widely because a few large wins move it; the all-time row is the meaningful one.
- Turnover
- Turnover is the total amount wagered in the period, converted to a USD equivalent across every currency accepted.
- Bets
- Bets is the count of individual wagers placed.
- GGR
- GGR (gross gaming revenue) is what the house keeps: turnover minus the winnings paid out. When RTP for a period rises above 100%, players finished ahead and GGR is negative.
Frequently asked questions
What is the real RTP of Release the Kraken 2 on Stake?
Across all tracked play, Release the Kraken 2 has returned 94.75% to players over 76,027,622 bets and $142.42M of turnover. Shorter periods differ — see the day, week and month rows above.
Why does this differ from the advertised RTP?
Pragmatic Play publishes a theoretical RTP calculated over billions of simulated rounds. The figure here is the measured result of real bets on Stake over a finite sample, so it lands near the theoretical number but rarely on it exactly.
Can a game show an RTP above 100%?
Yes, over short windows. It means players won more than they staked in that period — usually one large payout against modest turnover. It is variance, not a permanent edge, and it evens out as the sample grows.
How often are these figures updated?
Our crawler refreshes every tracked game on a rolling cycle, so each game is re-read every few hours.
