Betting a lot more on Christmas month is not really a shocker because a lot of people have a lot more free time during this period, which gives us the chance to wager even more.
Doubling the monthly bonus, or having some extras per day like we have seen so far, is not really a big deal because it is marketing tool used by stake to get you to spend that extra free time here. I find it quite happy coincidence that the biggest rewards usually come from the most common holiday times.
The real question is, would people gamble on Christmas, or would they rather sit down and relax and have some fun. I think it is quite important to do a little bit of both, and stake is a good place for it.
I think the reason why there are more players who bet more during the Christmas season is not just because of free time but rather because of Christmas bonuses or end-of-year bonuses they've received on their work and also the bonuses and promotions given on most gambling platforms such as Stake.
I, myself enjoy more time gambling during most of the holiday seasons as they provide great bonuses and it's a great incentive to have especially for long-time gamblers on the platform. You can try and associate these bonuses and promotions as a way for Stake to let us gamble longer on the platform but for most of us who regularly gamble, these bonuses are great incentives.
About your question, it would depend on you but still, you have the option to do both. You can always spend time with your family and celebrate Christmas and then later gamble. Also, a lot of people find gambling not just a way to earn and double money but rather to have fun, relax and enjoy every gambling session with your gambling friends through chat.
