Hey everyone,
I'd like to propose a feature inspired by trading platforms that I think could bring real value to bettors on Stake: an auto cashout system with two configurable thresholds, just like a Take Profit / Stop Loss setup — and with the option to set them in either dollars or percentage.
▸ THE CURRENT PROBLEM
When you place a live multi-bet, the cashout value keeps moving as the matches unfold. The thing is, you're not always in front of your screen: you miss favorable cashout windows, or worse, you watch the value melt down without being able to react in time. It's frustrating and it costs money.
▸ THE PROPOSAL
Add an "Auto Cashout" module directly inside the bet slip, with two thresholds the user defines themselves. Each one can be expressed in $ (absolute amount) or % (relative to stake or potential payout) — the user picks the mode that fits their thinking best:
- TAKE PROFIT
- In $: trigger when cashout ≥ $20.00 (lock in at least $20)
- In %: trigger when cashout ≥ 200% of stake (double my money)
- STOP LOSS
- In $: trigger when cashout ≤ $1.50 (don't drop below $1.50)
- In %: trigger when loss ≥ 50% of stake (cut losses at half my stake back)
The user can enable just one of them or both at the same time, and switch between $ and % independently for each threshold. Once set, the system monitors the bet continuously on the server side and executes the cashout the moment a threshold is crossed — no need to keep the app open.
▸ WHY BOTH MODES MATTER
- % mode is great for consistency across different stake sizes — same risk/reward ratio whether you bet $5 or $500
- $ mode is great when you have a specific target in mind ("I want exactly $20 back, not a penny less")
- It mirrors how trading platforms work, where pros often think in % but casual users prefer absolute amounts
▸ WHY THIS FEATURE MAKES SENSE OVERALL
- Discipline: you set your strategy cold, when placing the bet, not in the heat of the moment
- Freedom: no more babysitting a 3-hour tennis multi
- Bankroll management: enables real risk/reward logic, just like in trading
- Differentiator: as far as I know, very few bookmakers offer this today — it would be a strong selling point for Stake
▸ IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
- The module only appears once cashout becomes available (in the screenshot it's grayed out)
- When a % is entered, the equivalent $ amount is shown next to it in real time, so the user always knows what they're committing to
- Suggested defaults: Take Profit at +50% above current cashout, Stop Loss at 50% of stake
- Push notification on every automatic trigger for full transparency
- Thresholds can be edited or disabled at any time, as long as none has been crossed yet
I've added a live example of how it could/would work. I have no idea if this link is allowed, feel free to say anything and i will take down the link or edit the post if needed :

What do you think? Any ideas to improve it further?
