Also the promotion of $10m Birthday Race is a good one and there is no special requirement to enter in it. The top 5000 top racers will get the prizes. So indeed there is something to be won by almost everyone who gambles regularly on stake.
There is special requirement, it is called by "BIG BANKROLL". Without this, can you be in the top 5000 players? Of course not. This kind of race is not everyone, it is for those who have decent bankroll only or we usually call them by whales. Even if you play regularly but your average bet is low, you wont be able to be in top 5000 players to get the prize.
Exactly the same thing I tried pointing out to noormcs5 in my comment before yours, i personally see that which he said to be as a result of misconception or misunderstanding of the competition's terms and conditions, using my personally self as an example , i am a very active user and gambler on stake, but then, i do not have much money to spend on gambling since I have a lot of things that requires money going on in my life and cant afford to risk much to gambling, i gamble with very little amount of money on stake almost everyday, and even with that, I am currently in the 182,072th position in the ladder.
There is the possibility that a money bag could appear, wager $2 million dollars in one day, and never show up again all through the month, and this person will still turn out to take the number one position in the race, so this is clearly all about who got the money, and not for everyone as he said or assumed.
