Monthly bonus was sent on the 1st December, today is the 11th of December and we have received a post-monthly bonus from Stake. I wasn't expecting a post-monthly bonus at this moment Wink

. I got $13 from the bonus today, which is double of my last monthly bonus. I think I have received a better amount than the monthly as my gameplay activity has increased at Stake. Most of the users of Stake is expecting another monthly bonus on December 25th.

I think this is part of their promotion since online gambling casinos right now are in fierce competition to attract gamblers or customers. Only stake.com has offered this kind of promotion; no other casino has doing like this that giving a monthly bonus twice in a month.
Other casinos just offer giveaways like Twitter Giveaway where you don't know how the winner draw. I know stake doing the same thing but like what I said other casinos doesn't give like as stake give monthly twice. For sure stake will give a Pre-monthly just like before.

No one expected to get post monthly bonus so early like this because post monthly is used to be sent in the last week of a month.
I received $35 for the post monthly bonus which is bigger amount than the last weekly bonus I got, but as usual, lost it all quickly Grin

Hopefully the other expectation (to get 2nd monthly bonus) will come true and maybe it will be labelled as "Christmas Bonus".
By the way, anyone knows how much is needed to wager to be in the last 5000th position for the current 10M race? I wagered $28k only so far and I'm at 13,769th LOL.

I just asked and my friend is 1334th position with over 300k wager, but he didn't play for the last days.
Even with 280k after 1 week he was only 800th or something, at least that's what he said.

It's crazy the amount people play for at this site. Imagine 300k in 11 days and 1300 people have more wager than him, that's insane.

Yeah so many high-rollers are wagering on Stake and it is tough to compete with such high-level bets. If you remember the guy who was playing HiLo $300k per bet and he didn't even need to claim raffle prize last year. This year's competition is not as strong as last year but the flying million-dollar bets make it hard for the average player to hold good positions in the race, IMO.

Yeah it seems they will use the same schedule as last year I have checked last year's schedule and exactly the same as this year, December 25 coincides on Monday so that is the ideal time for a monthly bonus. Here is bonus schedule last year December 1, Dec 13, Dec 26 then Jan 1, Jan 16 and Jan 27 Christmas and New Year celebrations are what we are waiting for, birthday celebration of course. In addition, I also wondered why some Stake users get promo offers via email starting from Reload $35 up to $50 coupon this promo starts from October to this month and I see some of them selling the account in a local group, do you have info related to this promo? I mean the criteria.

Quote from: Agbe on December 10, 2023, 04:30:52 PM

Stake.com should not use this wager requirement to pursue customers oh because customers will run to another casino when they discovered that stake wager requirement is very high.

Maybe you misunderstood, nothing to force users to pursue wagering because this is an offer and as a user can take and ignore it obviously this is an option. I am one of the users who not take part in this event because in my opinion what I get does not match what I spend so I just played normally without pursuing anything. Indeed, those who participated in this event must prepare a higher wager when compared to last year but the difference is not too significant between $2k - $4k and again it is an offer can be ignored if we don't like it.

What nice deal are you talking about?
2 drops last weekend had a lower wager than 3.5k, the rest was over. Sure some have been close but considering the numbers they choose from are 3-8k and 3-11k for the last drop, u need at least 5-6k in wagers to get like half the drops, mathematically.

If you wager 5k on dice on 1.01 odds you lose at least 50$, most likely more. So there is no good deal because you can't beat the house edge. People are blinded by this "free money" dream on stake. Nothing is free, even the wager isn't.

Why I say it is a good deal, simply because there is not many casinos where we may get such bonus drop every week. At least it is better than nothing. Of course it is not something to chase, it is just a bonus for our wagering activity although I believe many players force themselves to wager every week in order to be eligible for the bonus drop. It is obviously your right to say that it is not a good deal as well as it is my right to say it as a good deal.

No it's not because you make false statements. First you said you need only 3.5k to claim 50$ in codes, which is wrong.
With 3.5 k you were able to claim almost 1 code, some $ short.. I though it was 2 but actually it wasn't even 1.

1: CLAIMS: 3694
WAGER: 4978$
AMOUNT: 3$

2. CLAIMS: 3457
WAGER: 8167$
AMOUNT: 8$

3. CLAIMS: 3179
WAGER: 4262$
AMOUNT: 8$

4. CLAIMS: 4443
WAGER: 7979$
AMOUNT: 10$

5.CLAIMS: 3652
WAGER: 3554$
AMOUNT: 9$

Final: CLAIMS: 3961
WAGER: 5466$
AMOUNT: 25 $

So where is your good deal? Also, other casino have higher rakeback, that evens out the bonus codes by the way since stake nerved their rakeback down to micro amounts.

I just don't like people saying how good stake is even though it has become really bad, also providing wrong information. Turn back the time 1 year only and you get MUCH more fr your activity at stake.
It's nothing against you personally, please just don't make false statements since 3.5k exactly gave you 0$ in bonus drops last weekend and most likely almost every weekend. Maybe you can get 1 drop with that wager.

The minimum requirement for most of the drops are above $10 000 now, so I think Stake are slow cooking us for higher wager requirements in 2024. I have just watched Steve's stream and the wager requirement was set at $11 000 ...where it usually are set at $10 000. (slowly creeping higher and higher)

We saw him doing a stream session, where they gave away almost $300 000 .... so I am thinking that the house edge will be set at 90% for the house until January 2024. Roll Eyes

Stake.com should not use this wager requirement to pursue customers oh because customers will run to another casino when they discovered that stake wager requirement is very high. But even though they are cooking us to wage higher, we should play according to our size. We should play what we can afford to lose which not pain us. Because of their high wagers and we are motivated win big then risky is upon you and big eyes. Even the $10,000 is big and now they are increasing it again. If the house edge is like that people are still there to play.

Four wins in five games. Everton returned to winning ways.

vs Crystal Palace: won 2-3.
vs Manchester United: lost 0-3. Garnacho goals trending.
vs Nottingham Forest: win 0-1.
vs Newcastle United: win 3-0.
vs Chelsea: won 2-0

Today's win over Chelsea is worth celebrating because Chelsea is a team that spends a lot of money on player transfers.

Everton's next opponent is Burnley. The result might be a win at Turf Moor.

I also watch the stream, the whole stream. I think you focus on negative side. There are also 9$ to 11$ bonus drop that only 3K - 4K wagered requirements. The telegram bonus drop code that one is really for high roller and i think that is the you should mentioned since that codes required 10K wager. I really enjoyed steve stream because of the low wagered requirements and I managed to claim those bonus drop that only required 3.5K$ wager requirements.

Also the bonus buy was increased to 4K$ compared to last month but last year when it was December they tend to give 5K for bonus buy.

I never watched any stream from Stake but saying that 3500$ is a low wagering requirement is also a stretch lol. I know it is different for everyone, but I am a small player and will never reach that kind of wagering requirement.

Although it is different for everyone, but 3.5k wagering requirement to get more than $50 from the bonus drop codes during the weekend stream is a nice deal and it should be considered as low wagering requirement if we look at the total bonus that we can get from the drop codes. Even if you are small gambler, wagering 3.5k in a week is basically not a hard thing to do if you wish. It can be done with the in house game and with the low risk bet strategy.

The minimum requirement for most of the drops are above $10 000 now, so I think Stake are slow cooking us for higher wager requirements in 2024.

Stake team had shared some bonus code on telegram with only $2.5k wager during the March month of this year. But there was level 2 verification requirement in order to claim those bonus codes. They had also shared bonus code with $5k wagering requirement during the Christmas celebration of 2022. Where the bonus drop has at least $10k wagering requirement since last few months. Stake has grown so fast and reached so high, there will be nothing to surprise if the lowest wagering requirement become $12k to $15k in 2024.

You are completely right and I totally agree wit you, if we watch it closely, we will discover that the more the casino is growing in terms of user base, the more the wager requirement for bonuses and promotions increases.
And for me, I personally see this as a normal thing for them to do, since if they leave the wager requirements to claim a bonus too low, such bonus offers will be prone to abuse, as there will be way too many claimers, and to reduce the chances of such, increasing the wager requirements as user base increases is the ideal option.

Though, I am still saddened by the fact that a time may come when non high rollers won't be entitled to any bonus again, since their total wager will be too low for them to qualify to claim any bonus, but I personally trust that when that time comes, stake may decide to create some thing out for their non high rollers.

@Fivestar4everMVP I feel that it’s a step in the right direction because they’re expanding at a rapid pace and if majority of their user base love to wager big then it’s a well calculated move in my personal opinion. Lastly while this may effect small gamblers but I’m sure that they’ll find a way to please them too because they have an experienced management in place hence I’m not worried at all.

Exactly the same view I shared, a really good company or casino rather, is known by their ability to manage their big and small gamblers well, making sure that every customer is happy, regardless of their financial status, or how much they have spent on the casino in wager.

So yeah, like I already said before, I trust that stake will definitely figure out something, or a special kind of bonus for their small gamblers, when it becomes imminent or evident that small players can no longer take part on the normal bonuses due to high wager requirements, which is something or an amount a very good number of their players haven't been able to reach, and may likely never reach except they win big.

But these buys are nonsense anyway since first of all it’s only a couple of people and second the process of choosing these people is highly questionable. Several times we have seen the same people over and over again to get chosen, doesn’t look very random.

Looking at yesterdays drops you really got lucky some had such a low wager requirement , good for you! Hope you can make something with these $ !
