You had me literally rolling on the floor with laugher, you really hit the nail on the head here, and that Americans and North Korea analogy is a perfect one to be honest ..
The complains are indeed too much and makes the whole bonus thing look like its become a right to users of Stake, the bonuses as its called, is bonus which stake on their own decided to give to their customers, i believe they have a right to stop giving it when ever they deem it fit, or when it no longer fits into their business model, and any customer who thinks he or she is being cheated on simply because the bonus he or she received is small, should look for another casino with a better bonus systems and start playing there.
with the presence or absence of bonuses has no effect on me, yes maybe at certain times I can play by relying on bonuses without the need to make a deposit, but come on don't make an issue of this, after all we are still given bonuses even though they are smaller than before.
Besides, you are right, the casino has the right to stop distributing bonuses if they want, and for me they also have no obligation to provide bonuses.
The slash in the bonuses shouldn't be something that will cause an issue where some users begin to doubt the casino, they never asked for bonuses, stake on their own decided to reward their users through that, but then, i will not so much blame those that are complaining though, they probably have been earning the bonuses very long before now and have gotten so used to it that it has become like something Stake owes them.
