Only for "Russian" users.
There also have some thread other people receive 40$ bonus, to avoid "phising" try to make sure the email first. Second, you can try login first your stake account before accessing the claim link.
After you login, just claim with the link. If claiming without needed login again, then you are safe but if required to be login again should be carefull.
I guessed as much, so this is to say that the $40 bonus went to only Russian users, it is their lucky day.
I think the best way to avoid phishing is to login into your account and never log out, like for example, since I started playing on stake, I signed up and logged in, I never logged out till date, so by this i am already sure of automatic login ones I open the website, and if for whatever reason, am prompted to login when I open the website, I get suspicious immediately and cross check the site.
And also, do not forget to turn on 2fa on your account, this helps that when if you end up login into your account through a phishing link, the scammers still would still need a 2fa code to make withdrawals from the account which they don't have, so your fund be remain safe.
after I found out from social media, it turns out that there are also those who don't come from Russia getting a $40 promotional prize.
I remember, yesterday I tried to bet on sports betting, blackjack, roulette, baccarat and all the games on new releases. well, is it because I bet on some of those games that I get $40 ? a little confused
because after i tried to translate through google russian to english it says bet 5 days in a row on sports betting and casino, maybe that's a factor and $40 effect.
always login to the Stake account, I also do that. so that when I claim weekly and monthly prizes it's easier to just click and choose the bonus you want.
and yesterday when I claimed the $40 bonus it was not necessary to log in to the account but only chose the desired bonus to crypto btc or something else, such as claiming a weekly bonus.
